Trichloromethane or chloroform is a colourless oily liquid with a peculiar smell. It is sparingly soluble in water. The vapour when enhaled cause unconsciousness and therefore, it is used as an anaesthetic. Answer the following question : Why is the use of chloroform as an anaesthetic has been reduced?

Trichloromethane or chloroform is a colourless oily liquid with a peculiar smell. It is sparingly soluble in water. The vapour when enhaled cause unconsciousness and therefore, it is used as an anaesthetic. Answer the following question : What happens when chloroform is not protected from oxygen during its storage?

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 ?

Properties such as boiling point, freezing point and vapour pressure of a pure solvent change when solute molecules are added to get a homogeneous solution. These are called colligative properties. Applications of colligative properties are very useful in day-to-day life One of its examples is the use of ethylene glycol and water mixture as an anti-freezing liquid in the radiator of automobiles.A solution M is prepared by mixing ethanol and water. The mole fraction of ethanol in the mixture is 0.9.Given: Freezing point depression constant of water (Kfwater​)=1.86Kkgmol−1Freezing point depression constant of ethanol(Kfethanol​)=2.0Kkgmol−1 Boiling point elevation constant of water(Kbwater​)=0.52Kkgmol−1 Boiling point elevation constant of ethanol (Kbethanol​)=1.2Kkgmol−1 Standard freezing point of water =273K Standard freezing point of ethanol =155.7K Standard boiling point of water =373K Standard boiling point of ethanol =351.5K Vapour pressure of pure water =32.8mmHg Vapour pressure of pure ethanol =40mmHg Molecular weight of water =18gmol−1 Molecular weight of ethanol =46gmol−1 In answering the following questions, consider the solutions to be ideal dilute solutions and solutes to be non-volatile and non-dissociative. Water is added to the solution M such that the mole faraction of water in the solution becomes 0.9. the boiling point of this solution is

These questions consist of two statement each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses. A. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion. B. If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion. C. If Assertion is true but Reason is false. D. If both Assertion and Reason are false. Assertion: Whale has a thick layer of at, called blubber, below its skin. Reason. It uses this fat as the source of energy when deep in water

The questions given below consist of an Assertion and Reason. Use the following key to choose of the appropriate answer. If both assertion and reason are CORRECT and reason if the CORRECT explanations of the assertion. If both assertion and reason are CORRECT but, reason is NOT THE CORRECT explanation of the assertion. If assertion is CORRECT explanation of the assertion. If both assertion and reason are INCORRECT. Assertion: Camphor is usually used in molecular mass determination Reason: Camphor has low cryscopic constant and therefore, causes greater depression is freezing point.
