6. What is Molarity? Calculate molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 5.85 g NaCl in 500 ml of water?
Molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of solution.
Formula: Molarity (M) = Moles of Solute / Volume of Solution in Liters
Calculation:
Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
Moles of NaCl = Mass / Molar mass = 5.85 g / 58.5 g/mol = 0.1 mol
Volume of solution = 500 mL = 500/1000 = 0.5 L
Molarity (M) = 0.1 mol / 0.5 L = 0.2 M

For a Salt: Equivalent Weight = Molar Mass of Salt / Total positive charge on cation (or negative charge on anion)

1. Find the weight of H₂SO₄ required to prepare 400 ml of 0.5 M solution.
To find the weight, we first calculate the number of moles required using the formula for molarity.
Moles of solute = Molarity × Volume in Liters = 0.5 mol/L × 0.4 L = 0.2 mol.
The molar mass of H₂SO₄ is 98 g/mol.
Therefore, Weight = Moles × Molar mass = 0.2 mol × 98 g/mol = 19.6 grams.
2. Find the normality of 500 ml solution containing 0.53 grams of Na₂CO₃.
Normality is calculated using the number of gram equivalents.
The molar mass of Na₂CO₃ is 106 g/mol. Its n-factor is 2.
Equivalent weight = Molar mass / n-factor = 106 / 2 = 53 g/equiv.
Number of gram equivalents = Mass / Equivalent weight = 0.53 g / 53 g/equiv = 0.01 equiv.
Volume of solution = 500 mL = 0.5 L.
Normality (N) = Gram equivalents / Volume(L) = 0.01 equiv / 0.5 L = 0.02 N.
3. What is Biodiversity? Explain the methods of Conservation of Biodiversity.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life found on Earth, encompassing all species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, the genetic differences among them, and the ecosystems they form.
Methods of Conservation:
In-situ Conservation: This method involves protecting species in their natural habitats. Examples include establishing national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves.
Ex-situ Conservation: This method involves protecting endangered species by removing them from their natural habitat and placing them in a special care setting. Examples include zoos, botanical gardens, and seed banks.
Other crucial methods include enacting and enforcing environmental protection laws and raising public awareness about the importance of conservation.
4. What is Green chemistry? Explain any four principles of Green Chemistry.
Green Chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.
Four Principles of Green Chemistry:
Prevention: It is better to prevent waste from being formed in the first place than to clean it up after.
Atom Economy: Synthetic methods should be designed to ensure that the final product contains the maximum proportion of the starting materials, minimizing waste.
Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses: Chemical processes should be designed to use and generate substances that have little or no toxicity to human health and the environment.
Design for Degradation: Chemical products should be designed to break down into harmless substances at the end of their life cycle so they do not accumulate in the environment.
5. What is Normality? Find the normality of a solution prepared by dissolving 1.58g of KMnO₄ in 200 ml of water? (GMW of KMnO₄ is 158g).
Normality (N) is defined as the number of gram equivalents of solute per litre of solution.
For KMnO₄ in acidic medium, the n-factor is 5.
Equivalent weight = Molar mass / n-factor = 158 g/mol / 5 = 31.6 g/equiv.
Number of gram equivalents = Mass / Equivalent weight = 1.58 g / 31.6 g/equiv = 0.05 equiv.
Volume of solution = 200 mL = 0.2 L.
Normality (N) = 0.05 equiv / 0.2 L = 0.25 N.
6. Calculate molarity and normality of a solution prepared by dissolving 10.6 g of Na₂CO₃ in 2 litres of water.
Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ = 106 g/mol.
Molarity Calculation:
Moles of Na₂CO₃ = 10.6 g / 106 g/mol = 0.1 mol.
Molarity (M) = Moles / Volume(L) = 0.1 mol / 2 L = 0.05 M.
Normality Calculation:
The n-factor for Na₂CO₃ is 2.
Normality (N) = Molarity × n-factor = 0.05 M × 2 = 0.1 N.
7. Find the weight of H₂SO₄ required to prepare 1 lit. of 0.2 N solution.
Normality (N) = Gram equivalents / Volume(L)
So, Gram equivalents needed = N × V = 0.2 N × 1 L = 0.2 equiv.
Equivalent weight of H₂SO₄ = Molar mass / n-factor = 98 g/mol / 2 = 49 g/equiv.
Therefore, Weight = Gram equivalents × Equivalent weight = 0.2 equiv × 49 g/equiv = 9.8 grams.
