Give reason why aniline is less basic than methylamine |
|
Answer» One pair electron is present on nitrogen atom in aniline which is overlaped with π-electron in the ring. So, nitrogen atom is positive changed or there is lack of electrons and it is not in the state that it can give paired electron to acid in comparison with methyl amine, due to this reason there is no overlapping. So, aniline is a weak base than methyl amine. |

Define Uniform Circular motion. Why is it called a periodic motion ? |
|
Answer» Uniform circular motion, motion of a particle moving at a constant speed on a circle. In the Figure, the velocity vector v of the particle is constant in magnitude, but it changes in direction by an amount Δv while the particle moves from position B to position C, and the radius R of the circle sweeps out the angle ΔΘ. In a uniform circular motion (UCM), a particle takes the same time to complete each revolution, a distance equal to the circumference of the circle. Therefore, a UCM is called a periodic motion. |

Give reason : Reduction of `Cr_(2) O_(3)` with `Al` is thermodynamically feasible, yet it does no occur at room temperature. |
|
Answer» In terms of thermodynamics, the themit reduction may be written as : `2//3Cr_(2)O_(3)(s)+4//3Al(s) to 4//3Cr(s)+2//3 Al_(2)O_(3)(s) , DeltaG^(@)=-287 kJ` The reduction is feasible as such . However, acareful look reveals that all the reactant and product species are solids. Therefore, the reaction does not take place at room temperature. Upon heating, chromium melts which means that `DeltaS` will tend to increase thereby making the reaction feasible. |

Write the functions of the following harmones insulin,adrenaline |
|
Answer» Insulin: Insulin is an anabolic hormone which is used for promoting the uptake of glucose, glycogenesis, lipogenesis, and protein synthesis that takes place in the skeletal muscle and fat tissue. This takes place with the help of tyrosine kinase receptor pathway. It is also one of the important factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeostasis. Adrenaline: This hormone is secreted by the adrenal glands in the centre of medulla. The main function of adrenaline is to produce contraction of spleen so as to store the blood, increase heart beat and sweating, reducing the blood clotting period, and pupilary dilation. |

Define roasting |
|
Answer» Roasting- It is the process of converting an ore into its metallic oxide by heating strongly at temperature insufficient to melt in excess of air. 4FeS2 + 11O2 → 2Fe2O3 + 8SO2 2Cu2S + 3O2 → 2Cu2O + 2SO2 2ZnS + 3O2 → 2ZnO + 2SO2 S + O2 → SO2↑ |
|
| 28. |
Define Calcination |

Coupling reaction |
|
Answer» Coupled reactions are those reactions that contain common intermediate and where energy is being transferred from one side to another side of reaction. These reactions are done in the presence of metal catalysts. Metal catalysts are used because metals are a good catalyst as they take away electrons from other molecules. Catalyst is used in chemical reactions because when we add a catalyst in a chemical reaction then without affecting the thermodynamics of the reaction it eventually increases the rate of the reaction. |

Account for The electron affinity of fluorine is less than that of chlorine. |
|
Answer» Bond dissociatio enthalpy should decreases as the bond distance increases from I2 to I1 due to this corresponding increase in the size of the atom as we move from F to I. However, the F-F bond dissociation enthalpy is smaller than that of Cl-Cl and even smaller than that of Br-Br. This is due to the reason that the F atom is very small and hence the three lone pairs of electrons on each F atom repel the bond pair holding the F - atoms F2 molecule. ∴ I2 < F2 < Br2 < Cl2 |

How will you account for the HI is stronger acid than HF? |
|
Answer» HI is more acidic than HF since as we move from top to bottom atomic size increases. |
|
| 34. |
Account for HI is stronger acid than HF. |
|
Answer» HI is stronger acid than HF— The bond length between HF is very small and F is more electro-negative element which catches hydrogen tightly and after H+ ion is not come out easily after filteration. But bond-length between HI is very big and I is less electro negative than F, due to this reason H+ ion comes out easily after filteration. |

HI is stronger than HF in acidic strength why? |
|
Answer» In HI, iodine is less electronegative and it has large size. Therefore, bonding between hydrogen and iodide is weaker. It will easily split in comparision of HF. Due to more liberation of H+ ions, HI is stronger acid. |

What is ex-situ conservation? Describe the objectives of conservation. |
|
Answer» In ex-situ conservation, threatened animals and plants are taken out from their natural habitat and placed in special setting where they can be protected and given special care. Zoological parks, botanical gardens and wildlife safari parks serve this purpose. There are so many animals that have become extinct in the forest but continue to be maintained in zoological parks. In recent years, ex-situ conservation has advanced beyond keeping threatened species in enclosures. Now gametes of threatened species can be preserved in viable and fertile condition for long periods using cryopreservation techniques, eggs can be fertilised in vitro, and plants can be propagated using tissue culture methods. Seeds of different genetic strians of commercially important plants can be kept for long periods in seed banks. Objectives of conservation are as follows:– (vii) To maintain equilibrium between biotic and abiotic components of ecosystem. (viii) To preserve endangered and rare species. (ix) To conserve whole gene pool of all species. (x) To use organisms in balanced way for human welfare. (xi) To maintain natural balance. |
