How are the laundry in hospitals different from a hotel?

Answer»

In Hospitals-

  1. The hospital laundry takes care of hygiene, cleanliness and disinfection. 
  2. Many hospitals have started using disposables where there is a threat of infection, which are then destroyed by burning. 
  3. Most of the articles in hospitals are of cotton and dyed (in colours specific to the hospital and department) with dyes which have excellent wash-fastness. 
  4. The daily laundry thus emphasises mainly on cleanliness of cotton materials. 
  5. Even the ironing and pressing may not be done to perfection. 
  6. Repair and mending and condemnation of unusable material may or may not form a part of the services required. 
  7. The quantum of work, especially for bed linen, is much larger for hospitals as compared to hotels. The larger hospitals may have to take care of 1,800-2,000 beds or even more. 

In Hospitality sector: 

  1. Aesthetics and final finish of the articles are the most important. 
  2. As compared to hospitals the articles here may be of different fibre contents. 
  3. Final finishing of laundered goods, i.e., starching, ironing pressing and correct and perfect folding, are emphasised. 
  4. They also have to care of guests’ personal laundry when required. 
  5. The smaller hotels may have link ups with commercial laundries from outside. 
  6. The quantum of work, especially for bed linen, is much lesser in hotels. The big hotels may have up to 400-500 rooms.

You are working in a hi-tech laundry of a hotel. a) What four factors will you keep in mind before choosing the process of washing a fabric? b) You are using a dryer to dry the washed fabric. Explain the two types of circulation system in a dryer.

Answer»

a) Four factors need to be kept in mind before choosing the process of washing: 

  1. Fiber contents 
  2. Type of yarn 
  3. Fabric construction techniques 
  4. Finishes used  

b) Two types of circulation systems: 

  1. Air of relatively low temperature is circulated at high velocity: the air present in the room enters a drier from under the front panel, passes over the heat source and then through clothes and leaves through an exhaust and therefore the temperature and humidity of the room stays normal.
  2. Air at high temperature is circulated slowly: In this, after the air enters the drier and passes over the heat source, it is drawn by a small fan through perforations at the top of the drier, then downwards through the clothes and out through the exhaust. Since the movement of the air in this drier is slow, the relative humidity of the exhausted air is high.

Knowing the electron gain enthalpy values for O → O− and O → O2− as −141 and 702 kJ mol−1 respectively, how can you account for the formation of a large number of oxides having O2− species and not O−?(Hint: Consider lattice energy factor in the formation of compounds).

Answer»

Stability of an ionic compound depends on its lattice energy. More the lattice energy of a
compound, more stable it will be. Lattice energy is directly proportional to the charge carried by an ion. When a metal combines with oxygen, the lattice energy of the oxide involving O2− ion is much more than
 the oxide involving O− ion. Hence, the oxide having O2− ions are more stable than oxides
having O−. Hence, we can say that formation of O2− is energetically more favourable than formation of O−.

Use the periodic table to answer the following questions. a. Identify an element with five electrons in the outer subshell. b. Identify an element that would tend to lose two electrons. c. Identify an element that would tend to gain two electrons. d. Identify the group having metal, non-metal, liquid as well as gas at the room temperature.

Answer» a. The general electronic configuration of the elements having five electrons in the outer subshell is `ns^(2)np^(5)`.This electronic configuration is characteristic of elements of group `17` i.e. hallogens and their examples are `F`,`Cl`,`Br`,`I`,`At`,etc.
b. The elements which have a tendency to lose two electrons must have two electrons in the valence shell. Therefore, their general configuration should be `ns^(2)`. This electronic configuration is characterstic of group `2` elements, i.e. alkaline earth metals and their examples are `Mg`,`Ca`,`Sr`,`Ba`, etc.
c. The elements which have a tendency to accept two electrons must have four electrons in the valence shell. Therefore, their general electronic configuration is `ns^(2)np^(4)`. This electronic configuration is characteristic of group `16` elements and their examples are `O`,`S`,`Se`,`Te` etc.
d. A metal which is liquid at room temperature is mercury. It is a transition metal and belongs to group `12`. A non-metal which is a gas at room temperature is nitrogen (group 15),oxygen (group 16),flurine, chlorine (group 17) and inert gases (group 18). A non-metal which is a liquid at room temperature is bromine (group 17).
43.

How is SO2 an air pollutant?

Answer»

Sulphur dioxide causes harm to the environment in many ways:
1.        It combines with water vapour present in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid.
This causes acid rain. Acid rain damages soil, plants, and buildings, especially those made of marble.
2.   Even in very low concentrations, SO2 causes irritation in the respiratory tract. It
causes throat and eye irritation and can also affect the larynx to cause breathlessness.
3. It is extremely harmful to plants. Plants exposed to sulphur dioxide for a long time
lose colour from their leaves. This condition is known as chlorosis. This happens because the formation of chlorophyll is affected by the presence of sulphur dioxide.

44.

Justify the placement of O, S, Se, Te and Po in the same group of the periodic table in terms of electronic configuration, oxidation state and hydride formation.

Answer»

The elements of group 16 are collectively called chalcogens.
(i) Elements of group 16 have six valence electrons each. The general electronic configuration of these elements is ns2 np4, where n varies from 2 to 6.

(ii) Oxidation state:
As these elements have six valence electrons (ns2 np4), they should display an oxidation state of −2. However, only oxygen predominantly shows the oxidation state of −2 owing to its high electronegativity. It also exhibits the oxidation state of −1 (H2O2), zero (O2), and +2 (OF2). However, the stability of the −2 oxidation state decreases on moving down a group due to a decrease in the electronegativity of the elements. The heavier elements of the group show an oxidation state of +2, +4, and +6 due to the availability of d-orbitals.
(iii) Formation of hydrides:
These elements form hydrides of formula H2E, where E = O, S, Se, Te, PO. Oxygen and sulphur also form hydrides of type H2E2. These hydrides are quite volatile in nature.

45.

which type of oxides are generally formed by non metals give two examples

Name the common elements present in the anode mud in electrolytic refining of copper. Why are they so present?A. SeleniumB. TelluriumC. SilverD. Gold

Answer» Correct Answer - A,B,C,D
Selenium, tellurium , silver , gold , platinum are the metals present in the anode mud. This is because these are less reactive than copper.
49.

Name the common elements present in the anode mud in electrolytic refining of copper. Why are they so present?

Answer» The common elements present in the anode mud in electrolytic refining of copper are antimony selenium, etellurium, silver, gold and platinum. Since these elements are less reactive these are not affected by `CuSO_4-H_2SO_4` solution and hence settle down under anode as anode mud.
