The soap molecules form structures called micelles where one end of molecules are towards the oil droplet while ionic end remains outside.

Explain this statement clearly : "To call a dimensional quantity 'large' or 'small' is meaningless without specifying a standard for comparison". In view of this, reframe the following statements wherever necessary: (a) atoms are very small objects (b) a jet plane moves with great speed (c) the mass of jupiter is very large (d) the air inside this room contains a large number of molecules (e) a proton is much more massive than an electron (f) the speed of sound is much smaller than the speed of light.

Which is the characteristics of the flower in plants possessing wind pollination? (A) Large flower, sweet fragrance, colourless (B) Small flowers, fragranceless, coloured (C) Small flowers, fragranceless colourless (D) Large flowers, sweetly fragrence coloured

In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid 1 mL of oleic acid is dissolved in 19 ml of alcohol. Then I mL of this solution is diluted to 20 mL by adding alcohol. Now 1 drop of this diluted solution is placed on water in a shallow through. The solution spreads over the surface of water forming one molecule thick layer. Now lycopodium powder is sprinkled evenly over the film and its diameter is measured. Knowing the volume of the drop and area of the film we can calculate the thickness of the film which will give us the size of oleic acid molecule. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions. (a) Why do we dissolve oleic acid in alcohol ? (b) What is the role of lycopodium powder ? (c) What would be the volume of oleic acid in each ml of solution prepared ? (d) How will you calculate the volume of n drops of this solution of oleic acid ? (e) What will be the volume of oleic acid in one drop of this solution ?

Just as precise measurements are necessary in science, it is equally important to be able to make rough estimates of quantities using rudimentary ideas and common estimate is difficult to obtain, try to get an upper bound on the quantity ): (a) the total mass of rain-bearing clouds over India during the Monsoon (b) the mass of an elephant (c) the wind speed during a strom (d) the number of strands of hair on your head (e) the number of air molecules in your classroom.

(a) A comb run through one’s dry hair attracts small bits of paper. Why? What happens if the hair is wet or if it is a rainy day? (Remember, a paper does not conduct electricity.) (b) Ordinary rubber is an insulator. But special rubber tyres of aircraft are made slightly conducting. Why is this necessary? (c) Vehicles carrying inflammable materials usually have metallic ropes touching the ground during motion. Why? (d) A bird perches on a bare high power line, and nothing happens to the bird. A man standing on the ground touches the same line and gets a fatal shock. Why?

Surafce tension is exhibited by liquids due to force of attraction between the molecules of the liquid .The surface tension decreases with increases in temperature and vanishes at boiling point Given that the latent heat of vaporization for water L_(v)=540(kcal)/(kg) the mechanical equivalent of heat J=4.2(J)/(cal) density of water rho_(w)=10^(3)kgl^(-1) ,Avogadro'sno. N_(A)=6.0xx10^(26)k " mole"^(-1) . Molecular weight of water M_(A)=10kg , for 1k mole . (a) Estimate the energy required for one molecule of water to evaporated. (b) Show that the inter molecular distance for water is d=((M_(A))/(N_(A))xx(1)/(rho_(w)))^((1)/(3)) and find its value. (c ) 1 g of water in the vapour state at 1 atm occupies 1601cm^(3) , estimate the intermolecular distance at boiling point in the vapour state. (d) During vaporisation a molecule overcomes a force F, assumed constant to go from an inter molecular distance d to d .Estimate the value of F. (e ) Caculate (F)/(d) , which is a measure of the surface tension.
