Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced when a. `1` mol of carbon is burnt in air b. `1` moles of carbon is brunt in `16 g` of dioxygen. `2` moles of carbon are burnt in `16 g` of dioxygen.

Answer» The balanced equation for the combustion of carbon in dioxygen`//`air is
`underset((32 g))(underset(1 mol)(C(s))underset(1 mol)(+)O_(2)(g))rarr underset((44 g))(underset(1 mol)(CO_(2)(g)))`
a. In air, combustion is complete. Therefore, `CO_(2)` produced from the combustion of `1 mol` of carbon `=44 g`.
b. As only `16 g` of dioxygen is avaliable, it can combine only with `0.5 mol` of carbon, i.e., dioxygen is the limiting reactant. Hence, `CO_(2)` produced `=22 g`.
c. Here again, dioxygen is the limiting reactant. `16 g` of dioxygen can combine only with `0.5 mol` of carbon. `CO_(2)` produced again is equal to `22 g`.

Adsorption is always exothermic in nature. Explain

Answer»

According to thermodynamics, ΔG = ΔH - T.ΔS  . Adsorption is a spontaneous process, therefore ΔG is negative since adsorption decreases entropy ( ΔS = –ve ). i.e., –T. ΔS = + ve . As a result of adsorption. ΔH has to be negative if ΔG to be negative. Hence adsorption is always exothermic.

Explain green house effect.

Answer»

The heating of atmosphere due to absorption of IR radiation emitted by earth by the gases of atmosphere is called greenhouse effect. 

Green house gases absorb large amount of energy from sunlight and transfer it as heat by which earth gets heated. But they do not readily radiate back the earth’s heat energy to the space. Instead they reflect back a part of the heat energy to the lower atmosphere.

A survey was conducted on the use of chemical fertilisers and organic manure per acre from 1951 to 2001. The findings of the survey have been represented in the following bar chart. Using the information, write a report in about 120 words.

Answer»

The bar chart makes an interesting study of the use of chemical fertilisers and organic manure in 50 years from 1951 to 2001. Interestingly it’s a full circle for chemical fertilisers because if it was 70 kilogram per acre in 1951, in 2001 also the usage remained the same. Nevertheless, the use of chemical fertilisers steadily went down, the usage coming down to mere 30 kilograms per acre, the lowest ever, in 1981. However, it picked up again, shooting up to 60 kilograms per acre in 1991, to come back finally to the original figure of 70 kilograms per acre in 2001. The story of organic manure is the same, though in the reverse order. The use which was as low as 10 kilograms per acre in 1951 rose to 30 kilograms in 1961.1971 and 1981 witnessed a similar rise, the figures being 50 and 70. But, 1991 witnessed a fall with the usage coming down to 50 kilograms. 2001 recorded a further fall with the usage standing at 30 kilograms per acre.

Imagine that you are celebrating ‘International Women’s Day’ and you are required to speak on the occasion. Using the hints given below, write a speech in 100 words.Women empowerment – Importance of education – Eradication of dowry system – Ensuring safety at workplaces – Treating women with respect – Gender equality.

Answer»

Dear friends,

As I stand here to address you all, the first thought that comes to my mind is that the International Women’s Day is a symbol of the long and difficult struggle of women for equality. Even as we celebrate the day, what we have to reckon with is the truth that women have come a long way and enjoy many rights and privileges; yet they still have a long way to go if they have to consider themselves truly empowered. Danger to the safety of women, including at workplace, is still a sordid reality. Unless each man respects each woman, problems will persist. Thus, though the lot of women has improved in
