II. Write brief answer to the following questions:

Question 21.
Dissolved oxygen in water is responsible for aquatic life. What processes are responsible for the reduction in dissolved oxygen in water?
Answer:
The process which are responsible for the reduction of dissolved oxygen in water are excessive use of phosphatic and nitrate fertilizers, detergents, the discharge of human sewage and organic waste from food, paper and pulp industries. The microorganisms which oxidize organic matter also used oxygen dissolved in H₂O.

More over, during night, photosynthesis stops but the aquatic plants continue to respire, resulting in reduction of dissolved oxygen.

Question 22.
What would happen, if the greenhouse gases were totally missing in the earth’s atmosphere?
Answer:
The solar energy radiated back from the earth surface in absorbed by the green house gases. (CO₂, CH₄, O₃, CFCs) are present near the earth’s surface. They heat up the atmosphere near the earth’s surface and keep it warm.

As a result of these, there is growth of vegetation which supports the life. In the absence of this effect, there will be not life of both plant and animal on the surface of the earth.

Question 23.
Define smog.
Answer:
Smog is a combination of smoke and fog which forms droplets that remain suspended in the air. Smog is a chemical mixture of gases that forms a brownish yellow haze over urban cities.Smog mainly consists of ground level ozone, oxides of nitrogen, volatile organic compounds, SO₂ acidic aerosols and gases, and particulate matter.

Question 24.
Which is considered to be earth’s protective umbrella? Why?
Answer:
At high altitudes to the atmosphere consists of a layer of ozone (O₃) which acts as an umbrella or shield for harmful UV radiations. It protects us from harmful effect such as skin cancer. UV radiation can convert molecular oxygen into ozone as shown in the following reaction.
O₂(g) O(g) + O(g)
O(g) + O₂(g) O₃(g)

Question 25.
What are degradable and non – degradable pollutants?
Answer:
The pollutants are classified as bio-degradable and non-biodegradable pollutants.

Bio-degradable pollutants:
The pollutants which can be easily decomposed by the natural biological processes are called bio-degradable pollutants.
Example:
plant wastes, animal wastes etc.

Non bio-degradable pollutants:
The pollutants which cannot be decomposed by the natural biological processes are called Non bio-degradable
pollutants.
Examples:
Metal wastes (mainly Hg and Pb), D.D.T, plastics, nuclear wastes etc.,
These pollutants are harmful to living organisms even in low concentration. As they are not degraded naturally, it is difficult to eliminate them from our environment.

Question 26.
From where does ozone come in the photo chemical smog?
Answer:
NO₂ NO + (O)
O₃ are strong oxidizing agent and can react with unburnt hydrocarbons in polluted air to form formaldehyde, acrolein and peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN).

Question 27.
A person was using water supplied by corporation. Due to shortage of water he started using underground water. He felt laxative effect. What could be the cause?
Answer:
A moderate concentration of sulphate ions in water are harmless but excessive concentration is greater than 500 ppm in water causes laxative effects. Hence under ground water may have consisted excess of suplhates.

Question 28.
What is green chemistry?
Answer:
Efforts to control environmental pollution resulted in development of science for synthesis of chemicals favorable to environment which is called green chemistry. Green chemistry means science of environmentally favorable chemical synthesis.

Question 29.
Explain how does green house effect cause global warming.
Answer:
Greenhouse effect may be defined as the heating up of the earth surface due to trapping of infrared radiations reflected by earth’s surface by CO₂ layer in the atmosphere”. The heating up of earth through the greenhouse effect is called global warming.

Without the heating caused by the greenhouse effect, Earth’s average surface temperature would be only about -18 °C (CPF). Although the greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring phenomenon, it is intensified by the continuous emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

During the past 100 years, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased by roughly 30 percent and the amount of methane more than doubled. If these trends continue, the average global temperature will increase which can lead to melting of polar ice caps and flooding of low lying areas. This will increase incidence of infectious diseases like dengue, malaria etc.

Question 30.
Mention the standards prescribed by BIS for quality of drinking water.
Answer:
Standard characteristics prescribed for deciding the quality of drinking water by BIS, in 1991 are shown in Table.

Question 31.
How does classical smog differ from photochemical smog?
Answer:
Classical smog was first observed in London in December 1952 and hence it is also known as Londo coal smoke and fog.

It occurs in cool atmospheric smog found in many large cities. The chemical composition is the mixture of SO₂, SO₃ and humidity. It generally occurs in the morning and becomes worse when the sun rises. This is mainly due to the induced oxidation of SO₂ to SO₃, which reacts with water yielding sulphuric acid aerosol.

Chemically it is reducing in nature because of high concentration of SO₂ and so it is also called as reducing smog.

ii) Photo chemical smog or Los Angel Smog:
Photo Chemical smog was first observed in Los Angels in 1950. It occurs in warm, dry and sunny climate. This type of smog is formed by the combination of smoke, dust and fog with air pollutants like oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons in the presence of sunlight.

It forms when the sun shines and becomes worse in the afternoon. Chemically it is oxidizing in nature because of high concentration of oxidizing agents NO₂ and O₃, so it is also called as oxidizing smog.

Question 32.
What are particulate pollutants? Explain any three.
Answer:
1. Particulate pollutants are small solid particles and liquid droplets suspended in air. Many of particulate pollutants are hazardous.
Examples: dust, pollen, smoke, soot and liquid droplets (aerosols) etc,

2. Smoke particulate consists of solid particles (or) mixture of solid and liquid particles formed by the combustion of organic matter.
For example, cigarette smoke, oil smoke, smokes from burning of fossil fuel, garbage and dry leaves.

3. Dust composed of fine solid particles produced during crushing and grinding of solid materials.
For example, sand from sand blasting, saw dust from wood works, cement dust from cement factories and fly ash from power generating units.

Question 33.
Even though the use of pesticides increases crop production, they adversely affect the living organisms. Explain the function and the adverse effects of the pesticides.
Answer:
Pesticides are chemicals that are used to kill or stop the growth of unwanted organisms. But these pesticides can affect the health of human beings.
These are further classified as

Insecticides:
Insecticides like DDT, BHC, aldrin etc. can stay in soil for long period of time and are absorbed by soil. They contaminate root crops like carrot, raddish, etc.

Fungicide:
Organo mercury compounds are used as most common fungicide. They dissociate in soil to produce mercury which is highly toxic.

Herbicides:
Herbicides are the chemical compounds used to control unwanted plants. They are otherwise known as weed killers. Example sodium chlorate (NaClO₃) and sodium arsenite (Na₃AsO₃). Most of the herbicides are toxic to mammals.

Question 34.
Ethane burns completely in air to give CO₂, while in a limited supply of air gives CO. The same gases are found in automobile exhaust. Both CO and CO₂ are atmospheric pollutants.
Answer:
The major pollutants of oxides of carbon are carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

(i) Carbon Monoxide:
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas produced as a result of incomplete combustion of coal are firewood. It is released into the air mainly by. automobile exhaust. It binds with haemoglobin and form carboxy haemoglobin which impairs normal oxygen transport by blood and hence the oxygen carrying capacity of blood is reduced. This oxygen deficiency results in headache, dizziness, tension, Loss of consciousness, blurring of eye sight and cardiac arrest.

(ii) Carbon dioxide:
Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere mainly by the process of respiration, burning of fossil fuels, forest fire, decomposition of limestone in cement industry etc.

Green plants can convert CO₂ gas in the atmosphere into carbohydrate and oxygen through a process called photosynthesis. The increased CO₂ level in the atmosphere is responsible for global warming. It causes headache and nausea.

Question 35.
On the basis of chemical reactions involved, explain how do CFC’s cause depletion of ozone layer in stratosphere?
Answer:
In the presence of uv radiation, CFC’s break up into chlorine free radical
CF₂Cl₂ CF₂Cl + Cl
CFCl₃ CFCl₂ + Cl
Cl + O₃ → ClO + O₂
ClO + O → Cl + O₂

Chlorine radical is regenerated in the course of reaction. Due to this continuous attack of Cl thinning of Ozone layer takes place which leads to formation of the ozone hole.

It is estimated that for every reactive chlorine atom generated in the stratosphere 1,00,000 molecules of ozone are depleted.

Question 36.
How is acid rain formed? Explain its effect.
Answer:
Rain water normally has a pH of 5.6 due to dissolution of atmospheric CO₂ into it. Oxides, of sulphur and nitrogen in the atmosphere may be absorbed by droplets of water that make up clouds and get chemically converted into sulphuric acid and nitric acid respectively as a results of pH of rainwater drops to the level 5.6 hence it is called acid rain.

Acid rain is a by-product of a variety of sulphur and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) in power stations, furnaces and petrol, diesel in motor engines produce sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. The main contributors to acid rain are SO₂ and NO₂. They are converted into sulphuric acid and nitric acid respectively by the reaction with oxygen and water.

2SO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O → 2H₂SO₄
4NO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O → 4HNO₃

Question 37.
What is sewage? What are the major steps involved in the treatment of sewage waste?
Answer:
Objectives of waste water treatment:

1. To convert harmful compounds into harmless compounds.
2. To eliminate the offensive smell.
3. To remove the solid content of the sewage.
4. To destroy the disease-producing micro organisms.

Treatment process:
The sewage (or) wastewater treatment process involves the following steps.

I. Preliminary Treatment:
In this treatment, coarse solids and suspended impurities are removed by passing the wastewater through bar and mesh screens.

II. Primary treatment (or) Settling process:
In this treatment, greater proportion of the suspended inorganic and organic solids are removed from the liquid sewage by settling. In order to facilitate quick settling coagulants like alum, ferrous sulphate are added. These produce large gelatinous precipitates, which entrap finely divided organic matter and settle rapidly.
Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O → 2Al(OH)₃ ↓ + 3H₂SO₄

III. Secondary (or) biological treatment:
In this treatment, biodegradable organic impurities are removed by aerobic bacteria. It removes upto 90 % of the oxygen demanding wastes. This is done by trickling filter or activated sludge process.

(a) Trickling filter process:
It is a circular tank and is filled with either coarse or crushed rock. Sewage is sprayed over this bed by means of slowly rotating arms.

When sewage starts percolating downwards, mocroorganisms present in the sewage grow on the surface of filtering media using organic material of the sewage as food. After completion of aerobic oxidation the treated sewage is taken to the settling tank and the sludge is removed. This process removes about 80 – 85 % of BOD.

(b) Activated sludge process:

Activated sludge is biologically active sewage and it has a large number of aerobic bacterias, which can easily oxidize the organic impurities.

The sewage effluent from primary treatment is mixed with the required amount of activated sludge. Then the mixture is aerated in the aeration tank. Under these condition, organic impurities of the sewage get oxidized rapidly by the microorganisms.

After aeration, the sewage is taken to the sedimentation tank. Sludges settle down in this tank, called activated sludge, a portion of which is used for seeding fresh batch of the sewage. This process removes about 90-95 % of BOD.

IV. Tertiary treatment:
After the secondary treatment, the sewage effluent has a lower BOD (25 ppm), which can be removed by the tertiary treatment process.

In the tertiary treatment, the effluent is introduced into a flocculation tank, where lime is added to remove phosphates. From the flocculation tank the effluent is led to ammonia stripping tower, where pH is maintained to 11 and the NH₄⁺ is converted to gaseous NH₃. Then the effluent is allowed to pass through activated charcoal column, where minute organic wastes are absorbed by charcoal. Finally the effluent water is treated with disinfectant (chlorine).

V. Disposal of sludge:
This is the last stage in the sewage treatment. Sludge formed from different steps can be disposed by

1. dumping into low – lying areas,
2. burning of sludge (incineration),
3. dumping into the sea,
4. using it as low grade fertilizers.

Question 38.
Differentiate the following:
(i) BOD and COD
(ii) Viable and non-viable particulate pollutants.
Answer:
(i) BOD and COD Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD):
The total amount of oxygen in milligrams consumed by microorganisms in decomposing the waste in one litre of water at 200°C for a period of 5 days is called biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and its value is expressed in ppm. BOD is used as a measure of degree of water pollution. Clean water would have BOD value less than 5 ppm whereas highly polluted water has BOD value of 17 ppm or more.

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD):
BOD measurement takes 5 days so another parameter called the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) is measured. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is defined as the amount of oxygen required by the organic matter in a sample of water for its oxidation by a strong oxidising agent like K₂Cr₂O₇ in acid medium for a period of 2 hrs.

(ii) Viable and non – viable particulate pollutants:

Viable particulates:
The viable particulates are the small size living organisms such as bacteria, fungi, moulds, algae, etc. which are dispersed in air. Some of the fungi cause allergy in human beings and diseases in plants.

Non-viable particulates:
The non- viable particulates are small solid particles and liquid droplets suspended in air. They help in the transportation of viable particles. There are four types of non-viable particulates in the atmosphere.
Example:
Smoke, Dust, Mists, Fumes.

Question 39.
Explain how oxygen deficiency is cause by carbon monoxide in our blood? Give its effect.
Answer:
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas produced as a result of incomplete combustion of coal are firewood. It is released into the air mainly by automobile exhaust. It binds with haemoglobin and form carboxy haemoglobin which impairs normal oxygen transport by blood and hence the oxygen carrying capacity of blood is reduced.

This oxygen deficiency results in headache, dizziness, tension, Loss of consciousness, blurring of eye sight and cardiac arrest. Efforts to control environmental pollution have resulted in development of science for synthesis of chemical favorable to environment and it is called green chemistry.

Question 40.
What are the various methods you suggest to protect our environment from pollution?
Answer:

1. Waste management:
   Environmental pollution can be controlled by proper disposal of wastes.
2. Recycling:
   A large amount of disposed waste material can be reused by recycling the waste, thus it reduces the land fill and converts waste into useful forms.
3. Substitution of less toxic solvents for highly toxic ones used in certain industrial processes.
4. Use of fuels with lower sulphur content (e.g., washed coal)
5. Growing more trees.
6. Control measures in vehicle emissions are adequate.
7. Efforts to control environmental pollution have resulted in development of science for synthesis of chemical favourable to environment and it is called green chemistry.

II. Very short question and answers (2 Marks):

Question 1.
What is called as environmental pollution?
Answer:
Any undesirable change in our environment that has harmful effects on plants, animals and human beings is called environmental pollution.

Question 2.
What are pollutants?
Answer:
The substances which cause pollution of environment are called pollutants.

Question 3.
Write the different types of atmospheric pollution.
Answer:

1. Air pollution
2. Water pollution
3. Soil pollution.

Question 4.
What is Air pollution?
Answer:
Any undesirable change in air which adversely affects living organisms is called air pollution. Air pollution is limited to troposphere and stratosphere. Air pollution is mainly due to the excessive discharge of undesirable foreign matter in to the atmospheric air.

Question 5.
What are the techniques adopt to reduce particulate pollutants?
Answer:
The particulates from air can be removed by using electrostatic precipitators, gravity settling chambers, and wet scrubbers or by cyclone collectors. These techniques are based on washing away or settling of the particulates.

Question 6.
Define soil pollution.
Answer:
Soil pollution is defined as the buildup of persistent toxic compounds, radioactive materials, chemical salts and disease causing agents in soils which have harmful effects on plant growth and animal health.

Question 7.
Write the effects that were caused by classical smog.
Answer:

1. Smog is primarily responsible for acid rain.
2. Smog results in poor visibility and it affects air and road transport.
3. It also causes bronchial irritation.

III. Short question and answers (3 Marks):

Question 1.
How the oxides of nitrogen pollute the atmospheric air?
Answer:
Oxides of nitrogen are produced during high temperature combustion processes, oxidation of nitrogen in air and from the combustion of fuels (coal, diesel, petrol etc.).
N₂ + O₂ 2NO
2NO + O₂ 2NO₂
NO + O₃ → NO₂ + O₂

The oxides of nitrogen are converted into nitric acid which comes, down in the form of acid rain. They also form reddish brown haze in heavy traffic. Nitrogen dioxide potentially damages plant leaves and retards photosynthesis. NO₂ is a respiratory irritant and it can cause asthma and lung injury. Nitrogen dioxide is also harmful to various textile fibres and metals.

Question 2.
How the hydrocarbon compounds make harmful effects on living things?
Answer:
The compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen only are called hydrocarbons. They are mainly produced naturally (marsh gas) and also by incomplete combustion of automobile fuel.

They are potential cancer causing (carcinogenic) agents. For example, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are carcinogenic, they cause irritation in eyes and mucous membranes.

Question 3.
Explain the environmental impact of ozone depletion.
Answer:
The formation and destruction of ozone is a regular natural process, which never disturbs the equilibrium level of ozone in the stratosphere. Any change in the equilibrium level of the ozone in the atmosphere will adversely affect life in the biosphere in the following ways.

Depletion of ozone layer will allow more UV rays to reach the earth surface and layer would cause skin cancer and also decrease the immunity level in human beings. UV radiation affects plant proteins which leads to harmful mutation of cells. UV radiation affects the growth of phytoplankton, as a result ocean food chain is disturbed and even damages the fish productivity.

Question 4.
Write the causes of water pollution.
Answer:
(i) Microbiological (Pathogens):
Disease causing microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and protozoa are most serious water pollutants. They come from domestic sewage and animal excreta. Fish and shellfish can become contaminated and people who eat them can become ill. Some serious diseases like polio and cholera are water borne diseases. Human excreta contain bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Streptococcus faecalis which cause gastrointestinal diseases.

(ii) Organic wastes:
Organic matter such as leaves, grass, trash etc can also pollute water. Water pollution is caused by excessive phytoplankton growth within water. Microorganisms present in water decompose these organic matter and consume dissolved oxygen in water.

Question 5.
Write a short note on Eutrophication.
Answer:
Eutrophication is a process by which water bodies receive excess nutrients that stimulates excessive plant growth (algae, other plant weeds). This enhanced plant growth in water bodies is called as algae bloom.

The growth of algae in extreme abundance covers the water surface and reduces the oxygen concentration in water. Thus, bloom-infested water inhibits the growth of other living organisms in the water body. This process in which the nutrient-rich water bodies support a dense plant population, kills animal life by depriving it of oxygen and results in loss of biodiversity is known as eutrophication.

Question 6.
Write the harmful effects those caused by chemical water pollutants.
Answer:

1. Cadmium and mercury can cause kidney damage.
2. Lead poisoning can leads to severe damage of kidneys, liver, brain etc. it also affects central nervous system
3. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) causes skin diseases and are carcinogenic in nature.

Question 7.
Distinguish between BOD and COD.
Answer:

IV. Long question and answer (5 Marks):

Question 1.
Explain the different layers of earth’s atmosphere.
Answer:
Troposphere:
The lowest layer of the atmosphere is called the troposphere and it extends from o – 10 km from the earth surface. About 80% of the mass of the atmosphere is in this layer. This troposphere in further divided as follows.

i) Hydrosphere:
Hydrosphere includes all types of water sources like oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, streams, underground water, polar icecaps, clouds etc. It covers about 75% of the earth’s surface. Hence the earth is called as a blue planet.

ii) Lithosphere:
Lithosphere includes soil, rocks and mountains which are solid components of earth.

iii) Biosphere:
It includes the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere integrating the living organism present in the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere.

Question 2.
How the oxides of sulphur pollute the atmospheric air?
Answer:
Sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide are produced by burning sulphur-containing fossil fuels arid roasting sulphide ores. Sulphur dioxide is a poisonous gas to both animals and plants. Sulphur dioxide causes eye irritation, coughing and respiratory asthma, bronchitis, etc.

Sulphur dioxide is oxidised into more harmful sulphur trioxide in the presence of particulate matter present in polluted air.
2SO₂ + O₂ 2SO₃

SO₃ combines with atmospheric water vapour to form H₂SO₄, which comes down in the form of acid rain.
SO₃ + H₂O → H₂SO₄

Question 3.
Explain the health effects of particulate pollutants for human health.
Answer:

1. Dust, mist, fumes,etc., are air borne particles which are dangerous for human health. Particulate pollutants bigger than 5 microns are likely to settle in the nasal passage whereas particles of about 10 micron enters the lungs easily and causes scaring or fibrosis of lung lining.
2. They irritate the lungs and causes cancer and a,sthma. This disease is also called pneumoconiosis. Coal miners may suffer from black lung disease. Textile workers may suffer from white lung disease.
3. Lead particulates affect children’s brain, interferes maturation of RBCs and even cause cancer.
4. Particulates in the atmosphere reduce visibility by scattering and absorption of sunlight. It is dangerous for aircraft and motor vehicles
5. Particulates provide nuclei for cloud formation and increase fog and rain.
6. Particulates deposit on plant leaves and hinder the intake of CO₂ from the air and affect photosynthesis.

Question 4.
Explain the effects of photo chemical smog and its control.
Answer:
The three main components of photo chemical smog are nitrogen oxide, ozone and oxidised hydro carbon like formaldehyde(HCHO), Acrolein (CH₂ = CH – CHO), peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN). Photochemical smog causes irritation to eyes, skin and lungs, increase in chances of asthma.

High concentrations of ozone and NO can cause nose and throat irritation, chest pain, uncomfortable in breathing, etc. PAN is toxic to plants, attacks younger leaves and cause bronzing and glazing of their surfaces. It causes corrosion of metals stones, building materials and painted surfaces.

Control of Photo chemical smog:
The formation of photochemical smog can be suppressed by preventing the release of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons into the atmosphere from the motor vehicles by using catalytic convertors in engines. Plantation of certain trees like Pinus, Pyrus, Querus Vitus and juniparus can metabolise nitrogen oxide.

Question 5.
List out the major water pollutants and their sources.
Answer:

Question 6.
What are the major sources that cause soil pollution?
Answer:
Artificial fertilizers:
Soil nutrients are useful for growth of plants. Plants obtains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen from air or water, whereas other essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulphur are being absorbed from soil. To remove the deficiency of nutrients in soil, farmers add artificial fertilizers. Increased use of phosphate fertilizers or excess use of artificial fertilizers like NPK in soil, results in reduced yield in that soil.

Pesticides:
Pesticides are the chemicals that are used to kill or stop the growth of unwanted organisms. But these pesticides can affect the health of human beings.
These are further classified as

Insecticides:
Insecticides like DDT, BHC, aldrin etc. can stay in soil for long period of time and are absorbed by soil. They contaminate root crops like carrot, raddish, etc.

Fungicide:
Organo mercury compounds Eire used as most common fungicide. They dissociate in soil to produce mercury which is highly toxic.

Herbicides:
Herbicides are the chemical compounds used to control unwanted plants. They are otherwise known as weed killers.
Example:
Simple sodium chlorate (NaClO₃) and sodium arsenite (Na₃AsO₃). Most of the herbicides are toxic to mammals.

Industrial wastes:
Industrial activities have been the biggest contributor to the soil pollution especially the mining Eind manufacturing activities.

Large number of toxic wastes are released from industries. Industrial wastes include cyanides, chromates, acids, alkalis, and metals like mercury, copper, zinc, cadmium and lead etc. These industrial wastes in the soil surface lie for a long time and make it unsuitable for use.

Question 7.
Explain the various contribution of green chemistry in our day to day life.
Answer:
(1) Dry cleaning of clothes:

Solvents like tetrachloroethylene used in dry cleaning of clothes, pollute the ground water and are carcinogenic. In the place of tetrachloroethylene, liquefied CO₂ with suitable detergent is an Alternate solvent used. Liquified CO₂ is not harmful to the ground water. Now a days H₂O₂ used for bleaching clothes in laundry, gives better results and utilizese less water.

(2) Bleaching of paper:

Conventional method of bleaching was done with chlorine. Now a days H₂O₂ can be used for bleaching paper in presence of catalyst.

(3) Synthesis of chemicals:

Acetaldehyde is now commercially prepared by one step oxidation of ethene in the presence of ionic catalyst in aqueous medium with 90% yield.

CH₂ = CH₂ + O CH₃CHO
Ethylene Acetaldehyde

(4) Instead of petrol, methanol is used as a fuel in automobiles:

Methanol is considered to be less expensive than other commercial fuel and gasoline. During the process of combustion, it provides a higher thermal efficiency and power output because of its high octane rating and high heat vapourization.

(5) Neem based pesticides have been synthesised, which are more safer than the chlorinated hydrocarbons:

Every individual has an important role for preventing pollution and improving our environment. We Eire responsible for environmental protection. Let us begin to save our environment and provide a clean earth for our future generations.

Question 27.
Why chlorination of methane is not possible in dark?
Answer:
The reaction of chlorine and methane is a free radical reaction under the influence of light energy. Chlorine molecule first split into two Cl atoms or radicals. These are both very reactive species in contact with methane they form methyl radical and HCl.

Methyl radical further reacts with Cl to give CH₃Cl and another Cl atom thus of a chain reaction. So this reaction takes place only under the influence of light. Hence the reaction does not take place in dark condition.

Question 31.
Give reasons for polarity of C – X bond in halo alkane.
Answer:
Carbon halogen bond is a polar bond as halogens are more electro negative than carbon. The carbon atom exhibits a partial positive charge (δ⁺) and halogen atom a partial negative charge (δ^–)

The C -X bond is formed by overlap of sp³ orbital of carbon atom with half-filled p- orbital of the halogen atom. The atomic size of halogen increases from fluorine to iodine, which increases the C – X bond length. Larger the size, greater is the bond length, and weaker is the bond formed. The bond strength of C – X decreases from C – F to C – I in CH₃X.

Question 32.

Question 41.
Account for the following:
(i) t – butyl chloride reacts with aqueous KOH by S_N¹ mechanism while n – butyl chloride reacts with S_N² mechanism.
(ii) p – dichloro benzene has higher melting point than those of o – and m – dichloro benzene.
Answer:
(i) t – butyl chloride reacts with aqueous KOH by S_N¹ mechanism while n – butyl chloride reacts with S_N² mechanism.
It general, S_N¹ reaction proceeds through the formation, of carbocation, The tert- butyl chloride readily loses Cl ion to form stable 3° carbocation. Therefore, it reacts with aqueous KOH by S_N¹ mechanism as:

On the other hand n-Butyl chloride does not undergo ionization to form n-Butyl carbocation (1°) because it is not stable. Therefore, it prefers to undergo reaction by S_N² mechanism, which occurs is one step through a transition state involving nucleophilic attack of OH^– ion from the backside with simultaneous expulsion of Cl^– ion from the front side.

S_N¹ mechanism follows the reactivity order as 3° > 2°> 1° while S_N² mechanism follows the reactivity order as 1° > 2° > 3°. Therefore, tert-butyl chloride (3°) reacts by S_N¹ mechanism while n-butyl chloride (1°) reacts by S_N² mechanism. (ii) p – dichloro benzene has higher melting point than those of o – and m – dicholoro benzene. The higher melting point of p – isomer is due to its symmetry which leads to more close packing of its molecules in the crystal lattice and consequently strong intermolecular attractive force which requires more energy for melting. p – Dihalo benzene > o – Dichloro benzene> m – Dichioro benzene
Melting point: 323 K 256 K 249 K

Question 46.
Explain the mechanism of S_N¹ reaction by highlighting the stereochemistry behind it.
Answer:

In S_N¹ reactions, if the alkyl halide is optically active, the product obtained in a racemic mixture. The intermolecular carbocation formed in slowest step being sp2 hybridised is planar species. Therefore the attack of the nucleophile OH on it, can occur from both the faces with equal case forming a mixture of two enantiomers.

The rate of S_N² reaction depends upon the concentration of both alkyl halide and the nucleophile.
Rate of reaction = k₂ [alkyihalide] [nucleophile]
This S_N² reaction follows second order kinetics and occurs in one step.

This reaction involves the formation of a transition state in which both the reactant molecules are partially bonded to each other. The attack of nucleophile occurs from the back side and the halide ion leaves from the front side. The carbon at which substitution ocurs ha inverted configuration during the course of reaction just as an umbrella has tendency to invert in a wind storm. This inversion of configuration is called Walden inversion; after paul walden who first discovered the inversion of configuration of a compound in S_N² reaction.

We understand S_N² reaction mechanism by taking an example of reaction between chloromethane and aqueous KOH. S_N² reaction of an optically active haloalkane is always accompanied by inversion of configuration at the asymmetric centre.

Question 2.
Explain the S_N¹ mechanism of haloalkanes with suitable examples.
Answer:
S_N¹ stands for unimolecular nucleophilic substitution
‘S’ stands for substitution
‘N’ stands for nucleophilic
‘1’ stands for unimolecular (one molecule is involved in the rate determining step)
The rate of the following S_N¹ reaction depends upon the concentration of aikyl halide (RX) and is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile (OH-).
Rate of the reaction = k[alkyl halide]
R – Cl + OH^– → R – OH + Cl^–
This S_N¹ reaction follows first order kinetics and occurs in two steps.
We understand S_N¹ reaction mechanism by taking a reaction between tertiary hutyl bromide with aqueous KOH.

This reaction takes place in two steps aas shown below.

Step – 1:
Formation of carbocation:

t – butyl bromide

The polar C – Br bond breaks forming a carbocation and bromide ion. This step is slow and hence it is the rate determining step.

Step 2:
Nucleophilic attack on carbocation
The carbocation immediately reacts with the nucleophile. This step is fast and hence does not affect the rate of the reactions.

As shown above, the nucleophilic reagent OH~ can attack carbocation from both the sides, they will be mirror image of each other.

In the above example the substrate tert-butyl bromide is not optically active, hence the obtained product is optically inactive. If halo alkane substrate is optically active then, the product obtained will be optically inactive racemic mixture. As nucleophilic reagent OH- can attack carbocation from both the sides, to form equal proportion of dextro and levorotatory optically active isomers which form optically inactive racemic mixture.

Example :
Hydrolysis of optically active 2- bromo butane gives racemic mixture of ±butan-2-ol.

Question 3.
Explain the E₂ reaction mechanism with suitable example.
Answer:
E₂ stands for bimolecular elimination reaction
‘E’ stands for elimination
‘2’ stands for bimolecular
The rate of E₂ reaction depends on the concentration of alkyl halide and base

Rate = k₂ [alkyl halide] [base]
It is therefore, a second-order reaction generally primary alkyl halide undergoes this reaction in the presence of alcoholic KOH. E₂ is a one-step process in which the abstraction of the proton from the p carbon and expulsion of halide from the carbon occurs simultaneously. The mechanism is shown below.

Question 4.
Explain the E₁ reaction mechanism with suitable example.
Answer:
E₁ stands for unimolecular elimination reaction
‘E’ stands for elimination ‘1’ stands for unimolecular
The rate of E₁ reaction depends on the concentration of alkyl halide only and hence
rate = k [alkyl halide]
Generally, tertiary alkyl halide which undergoes elimination reaction by this mechanism in the presence of alcoholic KOH following first order kinetics is a two step process. The mechanism is shown by taking following example.

step – 1:
Heterolytic fission to yield a carbocation:

Step – 2:
Elimination of a proton from the β – carbon to produce an alkene:

Question 5.

(Hydrolysis with aqueous NaOH or KOH)
Ethylidene chloride reacts with aqueous KOH to give acetaldehyde.

ii) Ethylene glycol :
Ethylene chloride reacts with aqueous KOH, it gives glycol.

iii) Ethylene:
Ethylene dichloride is heated with Zinc in presence of methanol gives ehtylene.

Question 7.
How are the following compounds prepared from chloroform?
(i) Phosgene
(ii) Methylene chloride
(iii) Methyl isocyanide
Answer:
(i) Phosgene:
Chloroform undergoes oxidation in the presence of light and air to form phosgene (carbonyl chloride)

Since phosgene is very poisonous, its presence makes chloroform unfit for use as an anaesthetic.

(ii) Methylene chloride:
Chloroform undergoes reduction with zinc and HCl in the presence of ethyl alcohol to form methylene chloride.
CHCl₃ (Chloroform) + 2(H) CH₂Cl₂ (Methylene chloride)+ Cl₂

(iii) Methyl isocyanide:
Chloroform reacts with aliphatic or aromatic primary amine and alcoholic caustic potash, to give foul-smelling alkyl isocyanide (carbylamines).
CH₃NH2     +     CHCl₂ + 3KOH → CH₃NC + 3KCl + 3H₂O
Methylamine Chloroform          Methyl isocyanide

Question 19.
What are the methods of animal breeding?
Answer:
Methods of Animal breeding:
There are two methods of animal breeding, namely inbreeding and outbreeding:

1. Inbreeding: Breeding between animals of the same breed for 4-6 generations is called inbreeding. Inbreeding increases homozygosity and exposes the harmful recessive genes.

Continuous inbreeding reduces fertility and even productivity, resulting in “inbreeding depression”. This can be avoided by breeding selected animals of the breeding population and they should be mated with superior animals of the same breed but unrelated to the breeding population. It helps to restore fertility and yield.

2. Outbreeding: The breeding between unrelated animals is called outbreeding. Individuals produced do not have common ancestors for 4-6 generations.

Outbreeding helps to produce new and favourable traits, to produce hybrids, with superior qualities, and helps to create new breeds. New and favourable genes can be introduced into a population through outbreeding

Question 20.

To culture fish one should have an idea about different stages of fish culture such as topographic situation quality source physical-chemical and biological factors of water.
Stages of fish farming:
Breeding Pond:
The first step in fish culture is the breeding of fishes therefore for proper breeding special types of ponds are prepared called breeding ponds. These ponds are prepared near the rivers of natural water resources.
a) Natural breeding:
These bundhs are constructed in large low-lying areas that can accommodate a large quantity of rainwater.
b) Induced breeding:

• This involves the removal of ova and sperm from female and male by artificial mechanical process and the eggs are fertilized.
• The fertilized eggs are removed from the spawning place and kept in hatching hapas. Fish seeds: The fish seed is collected from breeding ponds and transferred to the hatching pits.

3. Hatching Pit:
The fertilized eggs are kept in hatching pits. The hatching pits should be nearer to the breeding grounds should be smaller in size with good quality water.
There are two types of hatching pits:

1. Hatcheries: These are small-sized ponds in which unfertilized eggs are transferred and hatching happens.
2. Hatching hapas: These are rectangular trough-shaped tanks made up of mosquito net cloth supported by bamboo poles and fixed in the river.

4. Nursery Pond:
The newly hatched fries are transported from the hatching happa to nursery ponds where they grow into fingerlings.

5. Rearing Pond:
This pond is long and narrow and this pond should be free from toxicants and predators. The fingerlings are transferred to the stocking ponds.

6. Stocking Ponds:

• This pond should be devoid of weeds and predatory fishes.
• Proper organic manuring should be done to the production with cow dung.

7. Harvesting:

• Well-grown fishes are taken out for marketing is harvesting.
• Small-sized fishes are again released into the stocking ponds for further growth.
• The harvested fishes are preserved and then marketed.

The selected oysters for the insertion of nucleus should be healthy and strong enough to overcome the stress during operation.
b) Preparation of graft tissues:

• The piece of tissue which is inserted inside the mantle is called as “graft” tissue.
• It is essential to keep the outer surface in contact with the inserted nucleus as nacre secreting cells are found only on the outer surface.

c) Preparation of nucleus:

• Any small particle may function as a nucleus to initiate pearl formation.
• If it is calcareous the deposition of nacre was found to be more on the calcareous nucleus.

d) Insertion of the nucleus:
For the insertion of nucleus, oysters are fixed in a desk clamb and mantle folds are smoothly touched to expose the foot followed by an incision into the epithelium of the foot and the nucleus is inserted.

e) Post Operation Care:

• Nucleated oysters are placed into cages and suspended into 2-3 metres of depth for 6-7 days.
• These periods are known as “Recovery Period”.

Answer:

Question 33.
Write short notes on ortho, para directors in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions.
Answer:
All the activating groups are ‘ortho-para’ directors.
Example: – OH, – NH₂, -NHR, -NHCOCH₃, -OCH₃ -CH₃ – C₂H₅ etc.
Let us consider the directive influences of phenolic (-OH) group. Phenol is the resonance hybrid of following structures.

In these resonance structures, the (-) charge residue is present on ortho and para position of ring structure. It is quite evident that the lone pair of electron on the atom which is attached to the ring involves in resonance and makes the ring more electron rich than benzene. The electron density at ortho and para positions increases as compared to the meta position. Therefore phenolic group activates the benzene ring for electrophilic attack at ‘ortho’ and ‘para positions and hence -OH group is an ortho-para director and activator.

In aryl halides, the strong -I effect of the halogens (electron withdrawing tendency) decreases the electron density of benzene ring, thereby deactivating for electrophilic attack. However the presence of lone pair on halogens involved in the resonance with pi electrons of benzene ring, increases electron density at ortho and para position. Hence the halogen group is an ortho-para director and deactivator.

Answer:

Question 36.
Describe the mechanism of Nitration of benzene.
Answer:
It is prepared by the action of a mixture of con. HNO₃ and con. H₂SO₄ (nitrating mixture) on benzene maintaining the temperature below 333 K.
Nitration:

Sulphuric acid generates the electrophile – NO₂⁺, nitronium ion-from nitric acid. This is an example of aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction.

The generation of nitronium ion
H₂SO₄ + HONO₂ → + HSO₄^–

To the nitronium ion (being an electron deficient species) the π bond of benzene, donates a pair of electrons forming a 6-bond. A species with a + ve charge is formed as an intermediate. This is called ‘arenium ion’ and is stabilised by Resonance.

In the last step, the hydrogen atom attached to the carbon carrying the nitro group is pulled out as a proton, by the Lewis base HSO₄^–, so that stable aromatic system is formed.

Question 37.
How does Huckel rule help to decide the aromatic character of a compound.
Answer:
In 1865, August Kekule suggested that benzene consists of a cyclic planar structure of six carbon with alternate single and double bonds.
There were two objections:
Benzene forms only one ortho disubstituted products whereas the Kekule’s structure predicts two o-di substituted products as shown below.

Kekule’s structure failed to explain why benzene with three double bonds did not give addition reactions like other alkenes.To overcome this objection, Kekule suggested that benzene was mixture of two forms (1 and 2) which are in rapid equilibrium.

Resonance description of benzene:
The phenomenon in which two or more structures can be written for a substance which has identical position of atoms is called resonance. The actual structure of the molecule is said to be resonance hybrid of various possible alternative structures. In benzene, Kekule’s structures I & II represented the resonance structure, and structure III is the resonance hybrid of structure I & II.
The structures 1 and 2 exist only in theory. The actual structure of benzene is the hybrid of two hypothetical resonance structures.

Spectroscopic measurements:
Spectroscopic measurements show that benzene is planar and all of its carbon- carbon bonds are of equal length 1.40 Å. This value lies between carbon-carbon single bond length 1.54 Å and carbon- carbon double bond length 1.34 Å.

Molecular orbital structure:
The structure of benzene is best de¬scribed in terms of the molecular orbital theory. All the six carbon atoms of benzene are sp² hybridized. Six sp² hybrid orbitals of carbon linearly overlap with six 1 s orbitals of hydrogen atoms to form six C – H sigma bonds. Overlap between the remaining sp² hybrid orbitals of carbon forms six C – C sigma bonds.

Formation of Sigma bond in benzene

All the σ bonds in benzene lie in one plane with bond angle 120°. Each carbon atom in benzene possess an un hybridized p-orbital containing one electron. The lateral overlap of their p-orbital produces 3 π- bond. The six electrons of the p-orbitals cover all the six carbon atoms and are said to be delocalised. Due to delocalization, strong π-bond is formed which makes the molecule stable. Hence unlike alkenes and alkynes benzene undergoes substitution reactions rather addition reactions under normal conditions.

All carbon atoms have the delocalized π MO is formed by p-orbitais the overlap of six p-orbitals.

Representation of benzene:
Hence, there are three ways in which benzene can be represented.

Question 38.

How will you convert ethyl chloride into
(i) ethane
(ii) n – butane
Answer:
(i) ethane

(ii) n – butane

Question 42.
Describe the conformers of n – butane.
Answer:
Conformations of n-Butane:
n-Butane may be considered as a derivative of ethane, as one hydrogen on each carbon is replaced by a methyl group

Eclipsed conformation:
In this conformation, the distance between the two methyl group is minimum. So there is maximum repulsion between them and it is the least stable conformer.

Anti or staggered form:
In this conformation, the distance between the two methyl groups is maximum and so there is minimum repulsion between them. And it is the most stable conformer.

The following potentially energy diagram shows the relative stabilities of various conformers of n-butane.

Question 43.
Write the chemical equations for combustion of propane.
Answer:
C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) ) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)
propane

Question 44.
Explain Markovnikoff’s rule with suitable example.
Answer:
Markovnikoff ‘s rule:
“When an unsymmetrical alkene reacts with hydrogen halide, the hydrogen adds to the carbon that has more number of hydrogen and halogen add to the carbon having fewer hydrogen”. This rule can also be stated as in the addition reaction of alkene/alkyne, the most electro negative part of the reagent adds on to the least hydrogen attached doubly bonded carbon.

Addition of water: (Hydration of alkenes)
Normally, water does not react with alkenes. In the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid, alkenes react with water to form alcohols. This reaction follows carbocation mechanism and Markovnikoff’s rule.
