  • In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is found in two forms, i.e., ^12CO_2 and ^14CO_2 . Plants absord CO_2 during photosynthesis in presence of chlorophyll, plants synthesise glucose 6CO_2 +6 H_2O rarr C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2uarr Half life of ^14CO_2 is 5760 years. The analysis of wooden artifacts for ^14C and ^12C gives useful information for determination of its age. All living organisms, because of their constant exchange of Carbon dioxide with the surroundings have the same ratio of C-14 to C-12, i.e. 1.3xx10^-12 . When an organism dies, the C-14 in it keeps on decaying as follows: 6^14Crarr7^14N+(-1)^0e +Energy Thus, the ratio of C-14 and C-12 decreases with the passage of time. We can measure the proportion of C-14 in the remains of dead organism and determine how long ago it died. The method of carbon dating can be used to date anything made or organic matter, e.g., bone, skeleton, wood, etc. Using carbon dating, materials have been dated to about 50,000 years with accuracy. C-14 exists in atmosphere due to:

    A
    conversion of C-12 to C-14
    B
    combustion of fossil fuel
    C
    bombardment of atmospheric nitrogen by cosmic ray neutrons.
    D
    none of above

  • Addition of non-volatile solute to a solvent always increases the colligative properties such as osmotic pressure. Delta P . Delta T_b and Delta T_f . All these colligative properties are directly proportional to molality if solutions are dilute. The increases in colligative properties on addition of non-volatile solute is due to increases in number of solute particles. 1 g mixture of glucose and urea present in 250mL aqueous solution shows the osmotic pressure of 0.74 atm at 27^@C . Assuming solution to be dilute which are correct ? 1. Percentage of urea in mixture is 17.6. 2. Relative lowering in vapour pressure of this solution is 5.41 xx 10^(-4) . 3. The solution will boil at 100.015^@C . if k_b of water is 0.5 k molality^(-1) . 4. If glucose is replaced by same amount of sucrose the solution will show higher osmotic pressure at 27^@C . 5. If glucose is replaced by same amount of NaCI, the solution will show lower osmotic pressure at 27^@C .

    The degree of hardness of a given sample of hrad water is 40 ppm if the entire hradness is due to MgSO_4 how much of MgSO_4 is present per kg of water?

    Answer the following: (a) The top of the atmosphere is at about 400 kV with respect to the surface of the earth, corresponding to an electric field that decreases with altitude. Near the surface of the earth, the field is about 100 Vm^(-1) . Why then do we not get an electric shock as we step out of our house into the open? (Assume the house to be a steel cage so there is no field inside!) (b) A man fixes outside his house one evening a two metre high insulating slab carrying on its top a large aluminium sheet of area 1m^(2) . Will he get an electric shock if he touches the metal sheet next morning (c) The discharging current in the atmosphere due to the small conductivity of air is known to be 1800 A on an average over the globe. Why then does the atmosphere not discharge itself completely in due course and become electrically neutral? In other words, what keeps the atmosphere charged? (d) What are the forms of energy into which the electrical energy of the atmosphere is dissipated during a lightning? (Hint: The earth has an electric field of about 100 Vm^(-1) at its surface in the downward direction, corresponding to a surface charge density = –10^(–9) Cm^(–2) . Due to the slight conductivity of the atmosphere up to about 50 km (beyond which it is good conductor), about + 1800 C is pumped every second into the earth as a whole. The earth, however, does not get discharged since thunderstorms and lightning occurring continually all over the globe pump an equal amount of negative charge onthe earth.)

    The degree of hardness of a sample of water is 40 ppm. If the hardness is only due to the presence of "MgSO"_(4) , then determine the amount of "MgSO"_(4) in 1 kg of that water.
