Question

Group 18 elements are called noble gases and not inert gases because compounds of Kr, Xe and Rn have been prepared. Their general electronic configuration is \(ns^2\)\(np^6\) except He(\(1s^2\) ). They have highest ionisation enthalpy and positive electron gain enthalpy due to stable electronic configuration. Helium is found in sun and stars. Noble gases have low boiling points due to weak van der Waals’ forces of attraction. Xenon forms \(XeF_2\), \(XeF_4\), \(XeF_6\), \(XeOF_4\), \(XeO_3\), \(XeO_2\)\(F_2\), their structures can be drawn on bases of VSEPR theory. Helium is mixed with oxygen by deep sea divers to avoid pain. Neon is used in coloured advertising lights. Argon is used in bulbs as inert gas. Kr and Xe are used in high efficiency lamps, head light of cars. Radon is radioactive formed by a-decay of Radium 226 88Ra Argon is most abundant (0.9%) noble gas in atmosphere.

Proteins are high molecular mass complex biomolecules of amino acid The important proteins required for our body are enzymes, hormones, antibodies, transport proteins, structural proteins, contractile proteins etc. Except for glycine, all o-amino acids have chiral carbon atom and most of them have L-configuration. The amino acids exists as dipolar ion called zwitter ion, in which a proton goes from the carboxyl group to the amino group. A large number of-amino acids are joined by peptide bonds forming polypeptides. The peptides having very large molecular mass (more than 10,000) are called proteins. The structure of proteins is described as primary structure giving sequence of linking of amino acids; secondary structure giving manner in which polypeptide chains are arranged and folded; tertiary structure giving folding, coiling or bonding polypeptide chains producing three dimensional structures and quaternary structure giving arrangement of sub- units in an aggregate protein molecule.

The properties of the solutions which depend only on the number of solute particles but not on the nature of the solute are called colligative properties. Relative lowering in vapour pressure is also an example of colligative properties.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: In an ideal crystal, there must be regular repeating arrangement of the constituting particles and its entropy must be zero at absolute zero temperature. However, it is impossible to obtain an ideal crystal and it suffers from certain defects called imperfections. In pure crystal, these defects arises either due to disorder or dislocation of the constituting particles from the normal positions or due to the movement of the particles even at absolute zero temperature. Such defects increase with rise in temperature. In addition to these certain defects arise due to the presence of some impurities. Such defects not only modify the existing properties of the crystalline solids but also impart certain new characteristics to them.

Boiling point or freezing point of liquid solution would be affected by the dissolved solids in the liquid phase. A soluble solid in solution has the effect of raising its boiling point and depressing its freezing point. The addition of non-volatile substances to a solvent decreases the vapor pressure and the added solute particles affect the formation of pure solvent crystals. According to many researches the decrease in freezing point directly correlated to the concentration of solutes dissolved in the solvent. This phenomenon is expressed as freezing point depression and it is useful for several applications such as freeze concentration of liquid food and to find the molar mass of an unknown solute in the solution. Freeze concentration is a high quality liquid food concentration method where water is removed by forming ice crystals. This is done by cooling the liquid food below the freezing point of the solution. The freezing point depression is referred as a colligative property and it is proportional to the molar concentration of the solution (m), along with vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure. These are physical characteristics of solutions that depend only on the identity of the solvent and the concentration of the solute. The characters are not depending on the solute’s identity. Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate options: (i) When a non volatile solid is added to pure water it will- (a) boil above \(100^\circ\)C and freeze above \(0^\circ\)C. (b) b) boil below \(100^\circ\)C and freeze above \(0^\circ\)C. (c) boil above \(100^\circ\)C and freeze below \(0^\circ\)C. (d) boil below \(100^\circ\)C and freeze below \(0^\circ\)C. (ii) Colligative properties are (a) dependent only on the concentration of the solute and independent of the solvent’s and solute’s identity. (b) dependent only on the identity of the solute and the concentration of the solute and independent of the solvent’s identity. (c) dependent on the identity of the solvent and solute and thus on the concentration of the solute. (d) dependent only on the identity of the solvent and the concentration of the solute and independent of the solute’s identity. (iii) Assume three samples of juices A, B and C have glucose as the only sugar present in them. The concentration of sample A, B and C are 0.1 M, 0.5 M and 0.2 M respectively.
