Question 29.
Explain common ion effect with an example.
Answer:
Common Ion Effect: When a salt of a weak acid is added to the acid itself, the dissociation of the weak acid is suppressed further.
Acetic acid is a weak acid. It is not completely dissociated in aqueous solution aid hence the following equilibrium exists.
CH3COOH (aq) ⇌ H+ (aq)+ CH3OO(aq)
However, the added salt, sodium acetate, completely dissociates to produce Na+ and CH3COO ion.
CH3COONa (aq) → Na+(aq) + CH3COO (aq) .

Hence, the overall concentration of CH3COO is increased, and the acid dissociation equilibrium is disturbed. We know from Le chatelier’s principle that when a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system adjusts itself to nullify the effect produced by that stress. So, in order to maintain the equilibrium, the excess CH3COO ions combines with H+ ions to produce much more unionized CH3COOH i.e., the equilibrium will shift towards the left. In other words, the dissociation of CH3COOH is suppressed. Thus, the dissociation of a weak acid (CH3COOH) is suppressed in the presence of a salt (CH3COONa) containing an ion common to the weak electrolyte. It is called the common ion effect.

Question 30.
Mention the uses of Brownian movement.
Answer:

  • Brownian movement enables us to calculate Avogadro Number.
  • It is used to confirm kinetic theory which considers the ceaseles rapid movement of molecules that increases with increase in temperature.
  • It is used to understand the stability of colloids. As the particles are in continuous rapid movement, they do not come close and hence not get condensed. That is Brownian movement does not allow the particles to be acted on by force of gravity.

Question 33.
Answer the following questions briefly:
(i) What are reducing sugars?
(ii) What is meant by denaturation of a protein?
(iii) How is oxygen replenished in our atmosphere?
Answer:
(i) Reducing sugar: All those Carbohydrates which reduce Fehling’s solution and Tollens’ reagent are referred to as reducing sugars. All monosaccharides whether aldose or ketose are reducing sugars.

(ii) Denaturation of a protein: When 2° and 3° structure of a protein is destroyed due to the physical changes like temperature, change in pH, it is called denaturation of a protein. Example: Coagulation of egg white on boiling.

(iii) We take oxygen from atmosphere and release CO2. Plants take up CO2 and H2O from the atmosphere to prepare their food in the presence of sunlight and release O2, thus O2 is replenished in atmosphere.

called cementation.
Tamil Nadu 12th Chemistry Model Question Paper 1 English Medium - 20

(ii) 1. As we move down a group, generally there is a steady decrease in ionisation enthalpy of elements due to increase in their atomic radius.

2. In p-block elements there are some minor deviations to this general trend. In group 13, from B to A1 the ionisation enthalpy decreases as expected. But from A1 to T1 there is only a marginal difference. This is due to the presence of inner d- and f – elements which has poor shielding effect compared to s andp electrons. As a result, the effective nuclear charge on the valance electrons increase.

3. A similar trend is also observed in group 14. The remaining groups (15-18) follows the general trend, in these groups the ionisation enthalpy decreases as we move down the group. Here poor shielding effect of d- and/electrons are overcome by the increased shielding effect of the additional p-electrons.

4. The ionisation enthalpy of elements in successive groups is higher than the corresponding elements of the previous group as expected.

At the cathode reduction occurs.
Li+ + CoO2(s) + e → Li CoO2(s)

3. Overall reactions
Li(s) + CoO2 → Li CoO2(s)

4. Both electrodes allow Li+ ions to move in and out of their structures. During discharge the Li+ ions produced at the anode moves towards cathode through the non-aquaeous electrolyte.

5. When a potential greater than the emf produced by the cell is applied across the electrode, the cell reaction is reversed and now the Li+ ions move from cathode to anode where they become embedded on the porous electrode. This is known as intercalation.
6. Uses:- This Li-ion battery is used in cellular phones, Laptop computer and digital camera.

(ii)

  1. It is because in saline water, there are more H+ ions. Greater the number of H+ ions, quicker the rusting will take place.
