How can you apply green chemistry for the following ?
(a) To control photochemical smog.
(b) To avoid use of halogenated solvents in dryclening and that of chlorine in bleaching.
(c ) to reduce use of synthestic detergents.
(d) To reduce the consumption of petrol and diesel.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) To study the role of Green Chemistry in controlling photochemical smog,
(ii) N/A
(iii) Soaps are better than detergents since they are biodegradable unlike detergents. Some soft detergents are also availble which are also biodegradable.
(iv) These days CNG (condensed natural gas) is commonly used in place of petrol and diesel. It causes less pollution problems.

Redox reactions play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values standard redox potential (E^(c-)) of two half cell reactions decided which way the reaction is expected to preceed. A simple example is a Daniell cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper sets deposited. Given below are a set of half cell reactions ( acidic medium ) along with their E^(c-)(V with respect to normal hydrogen electrode ) values. Using this data, obtain correct explanations for Question.
