Water samples were collected at points A, B and C in a segment of a river near a sugar factory and tested for BOD level. The BOD levels of samples A, B and C were 400 mg/L, 480 mg/L and 8 mg/L respectively. What is this indicative of? Explain why the BOD level gets reduced considerably at the collection point C?

Answer»

At collection points A and B, the BOD level is high due to high organic pollution caused by sugar factory and sewage discharge.  At the collection point C, the water was released after secondary treatment/ biological treatment (where vigorous growth of useful aerobic microbes into flocs consume the major part of the organic matter present in the river water or effluent due to sugar factory and sewage discharge).

4.

Answer»

Correct option  (3)  6 and 8

Explanation:

Common CN of transition element = 6

Common CN of inner transition elements = 8 to 12

5.

Water samples with BOD values of 4ppm and 18ppm, respectively, are : (1) Clean and Highly polluted (2) Highly polluted and Clean (3) Clean and Clean (4) Highly polluted and Highly polluted 

Answer»

The correct option (1) Clean and Highly polluted   

Explanation:

Clean water would have BOD value of less than 5ppm whereas highly polluted water could have a BOD value of 17ppm or more.

The magnetic moment of an octahedral homoleptic Mn(II) complex is 5.9 BM. The suitable ligand for this complex is : (1) NCS– (2) CN– (3) ethylenediamine (4) CO

Answer»

Correct option: (1) NCS

Explanation:

µ = 5.9 BM → 5 unpaired e 

Mn2+ –[Ar]3d5 configuration only possible with relatively weaker ligand. 

So NCS is the answer (1).

9.

With what neutral molecule is `ClO^(ɵ)` isoelectronic Is that molecule a Lewise Base?

Answer» `CIO^(ɵ)` has `17+8+1=26` electrons. A neutral molecule with 26 electrons is CiF. Since Cl in CiF can further donate electrons to two more F atoms to forms `CiF_3` therefore ClF is a Lewis base.
10.

Calculate the amound of benzoic acid `(C_(6)H_(5)COOH)` required for preparing `250mL` of `0.15 M` solution in methanol.

Answer» Correct Answer - `4.575g`
Molecular mass of `(C_(6)H_(5)COOH)`
`=12xx6+5+12+32+1=122g mol^(-1)`
mmoles of benzoic aci`=MxxV` ltbr. `=250xx0.15=37.5`
`=37.5xx10^(-3)mol`
Amount of benzoic acid `=` Moles `xx Mw_(2)` ltbr. `=37.5xx10^(-3)xx122`
`=4.575g`
13.

If the solubility product of `CuS` is `6xx10^(-16)`, calculate the maximum molarity of `CuS` in aqueous solution.

Answer» Correct Answer - `S=2.45xx10^(-8)mol^(-1)`
Maximum molarity of `CuS` in aqueous solution is the solubility of `CuS` in `mol L^(-1)`. Let `S` is the solubility of `CuS` in `mol L^((-1)`, then
`CuS hArr Cu^(2+)+S^(2-)`
`K_(sp)=[Cu^(2+)][S^(2-)]`
`=SxxS` ltbr. `=S^(2) mol^(2)L^(-2)`
`:. S=sqrt(K_(sp))=sqrt(6xx10^(-16))`
`2.45xx10^(-8)mol L^(-1)`
14.

Nalorphene `(C_(19)H_(22)NO_(3))`, similar to morphine , is used to combat withdrawal symptoms in narcotic users. The dose of nalorphene generally given is `1.5 mg`. Calculate the mass of solution of `1.5xx10^(-3)m` aqueous solution required for the above dose.

Answer» Correct Answer - `W_(solution)=3.2015g`
Molecular mass of Nalorphene`(C_(19)H_(22)NO_(3))`
`=19xx12+1xx22+14+3xx16`
`=312g mol^(-1)`
`m=(W_(2)xx1000)/(Mw_(2)xxW_(1))`
`1.5xx10^(-3)(1.5xx10^(-3)gxx10000)/(312xxW_(1))`
`W_(1)=(1.5)/(3.12xx1.5xx10^(-3))=(10^(3))/(312)=3.2g`
Weight of `H_(2)O=3.2g`
Weight of solution `=3.2+1.5xx10^(-3)`
`=3.2 +0.0015=3.2015g` .
