Why white phosphorus kept under water? What are ambident groups? What is Schotten Baumann reaction? A crystal of lead (II) sulphide has NaCl structure. In this crystal the shortest distance between a Pb2+ ion and S2 ion is 297 pm. What is the length of the unit cell in lead sulphide? Also calculate the unit cell volume. (Pb = 207.2 u and S = 32 u) Soap is a weak antiseptic. What may be added to soap to improve its antiseptic action? Write the difference between Schottky and Frenkel defects. What is meant by abnormal molecular mass? Illustrate it with an example. Explain the following: a.) One gram of pulverized wood burns faster than one gram piece of wood. b.) State the role of activated complex in a reaction and state its relation with activation energy. Describe the different methods, which can be used for the concentration of the ore. Complete and balance the following equations: i.) Cl 2 NaOH ii.) Cu H 2 SO4 Write the resonance structures of chlorobenzene and explain why it is less reactive than chloroethane towards nucleophiles. What is vulcanization? Why is it done? Write the structural and functional differences between RNA and DNA.
