    What is meant by ‘reverse osmosis’?

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    The phenomenon of reversal of the direction of osmosis by the application of a pressure larger than the osmotic pressure on the solution side is known as reverse osmosis. In this case, the pure solvent flows out of the solution through a semi permeable membrane.

  • Q8

    Give a chemical test to distinguish between ethylamine and aniline.

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    Ethylamine and aniline can be distinguished from each other by the azo-dye test. An orange coloured dye is obtained when aniline (an aromatic amine) reacts with HNO2 (NaNO2 + dil.HCl) at 0-5°C, followed by a reaction with the alkaline solution of 2-naphthol. The dye is usually yellow, red or orange in colour. Ethylamine (an aliphatic amine) gives a brisk effervescence (due to the evolution of N2 gas) under similar conditions.

    Explain how you can determine the atomic mass of an unknown metal if you know its mass, density and the dimensions of unit cell of its crystal.

    Marks:2
    Answer:

    By knowing the density of an unknown metal and the dimension of its unit cell, the atomic mass of the metal can be determined.
    Let ‘a’ be the edge length of a unit cell of a crystal, ‘d’ be the density of the metal, ‘m’ be the mass of each metal atom and ‘Z’ be the number of atoms in the unit cell.
