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). |

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. | |

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)` |
