Chemistry doubt
« on: May 22, 2010, 05:37:41 pm »
Hey friends, what happens when an impurity is present in a substance, does:

  • boiling point change; increase or decrease
  • melting point change; increase or decrease

& when does ph increase or decrease?

e.g adding more water does what, not by neutralization. 

thanks, acash09

An impure subsance melts at a rangge BELOW THE MELTING POINT
                            boils at a range  ABOVE THE BOILING POINT

 ph gr8er 7 is alkaline .....ph  less than 7 is acidic  .

adding more water just makes somethin more DILUTE ..means less acidic/or alkaline

Wait, I recall that back in 03 / 04 there is a reaction that involves Mg ribbon and acid, if you increase the volume of acid, the change in temp would decrease, same theory holds true for water, if it is a metal + water reaction, as we all know, salt and hydrogen is produced, yet the change in temperature would be smaller if greater volume of water is used. This is also a common question that appeared in Paper 6.

Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

the multiple choice is on tuesday :( the paper 3 is in like 2 weeks 7th of june :D
Anyways my questions is for paper 1 (multi) do we need to knw the core material only or all of it(including extended)???

You have to know both.

Oh, I thought for Papers 1 + 6 are aimed for Core curriculum.  That's why stuff like Condensation Polymerisation never comes up!

Yes, apparently it is based on the core syllabus. :-\

well yea the mcq's are based on the core syllabus but every ppr tends to have few tricky questions which tests both......if u had done only core it  would look gibberish bt havin dne extended it makes sense....... otherwise it be funny if a core dude got A in ppr 1 and 6......nd then couldnt go above C in pp3 lolzzz :P

variant one

Ok remember when concentrated NaCl is electrolyzed:
First the solution contains Na+ Cl- and H+ and OH- (from water). The positive inos go to the cathode, and negative ions to the anode.

At the CATHODE
the H+ ions accept electrons, since it is less reactive than Na (always elements which is more reactive 'likes' to stay in the ionic form)
2H+  2e-  ---> H2

At the ANODE
the Cl- ions give up the electrons more readily than the OH- ions do.
2Cl-  -->  Cl2  +  2e-

what left in the solution is Na+ and OH- which combine to form NaOH

in your ques ..is 'D' .. the indicator solution turns blue at -ve as NaOH is produced .. Chlorine doesnt  show any change in presence of an indicator solution ;)

jus understand the concept ..
