The decomposition of potassium chlorate (KClO_3) is a slow process. But the decomposition becomes fast in the presence of a black powder. Answer the following question : Can you name the substance which can slow down the decomposition of H_2O_2 ?

In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid 1mL of oleic acid is dissolved in 19 mL of alcohol. Then 1 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 trough. 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 : why do we dissolve oleic acid in alcohol ?

Read the following passage and answer the questions. Ultrafiltration is the process of separating the colloidal particles from the solvent and soluble solutes present in the colloidal solution by specially prepared filters, which are permeable to all substances except the colloidal particles. Colloidal particles can pass through ordinary filter paper because the pores are too large. However, the pores of filter paper can be reduced in size by impregnating with collodion solution to stop the flow of colloidal particles. The usual collodion is a 4% solution of nitrocellulose in a mixture of alcohol and ether. An ultra-filter paper may be prepared by soaking the filter paper in a collodion solution, hardening by formaldehyde and then finally drying it. Thus, by using ultra-filter paper, the colloidal particles are separated from rest of the materials. Ultrafiltration is a slow process. To speed up the process, pressure or suction is applied. The colloidal particles left on the ultra-filter paper are then stirred with fresh dispersion medium (solvent) to get a pure colloidal solution. Why ordinary filter paper can not be used for ultrafiltration ?

The integrated rate equations can be fitted with kinetic data to determine the order of a reaction. The integrated rate equations for zero, first and second order reactions are : Zero order : [Al =-kt+ [A]_0 First order : log [A] = -(kt)/2.303 + log [A]_0 Second order : 1/([A])=kt+1/[A]_0 These equations can also be used to calculate the halt life periods of different reactions, which give the time during which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to half of its initial concentration, i.e, at time t_(1//2), [A] = [A]_0//2 Answer the following (1 to 5) question : The decomposition of nitrogen pentoxide : 2N_2O_5(g) rarr 4NO_2(g) + O_2(g) is a first order reaction. The plot of log [N_2O_5] vs time (min) has slope = - 0.01389. The rate constant k is
