INTERVIEW BASED QUESTIONS PART-04


1. Out of phenol and acetic acid, which  is more  acidic?

Acetic  acid is more acidic  than phenol


2. Define Saponification.

When an oil or fat is boiled  with  a solution  of caustic  soda, the resultant  product are soap and glycerin.The chemical  reaction  is called  saponification.

          Oil + caustic  soda ------🡪 soap + glycerin


3. Define pH.

It is the negative  logarithm  of the activity  of hydrogen  ion.

                         pH = -log[H⁺]  Or pH = -log[H3O⁺]

potency of H+  in solution.


4. Give difference between aromatic  and aliphatic  hydrocarbons.

Aromatic Compound

Aliphatic Compound

They are contain Aromatic ring or benzene ring.

They are organic chemical compound without benzene ring.

They are always cyclic.

They are linear and cyclic.

They are always unsaturated.

They are saturated and unsaturated.

They are conjugated due to the presence of

alternating double bond.

The majority of aliphatic compound are not

conjugated.

 

5. Define: - Valancy.

The no. of unpaired  electron  removed  or gained  in the outer most shell  to attained  the stability,  known as valancy.

e.g.Nitrogen  -03, Carbon -04,  Oxygen-02

6. Is Ammonia  is base or acid?

Ammonia  is weak base because of lower conc.  of H+  ion.

7. Give examples of weak acid and weak base.

Weak acid

Weak Base

HCOOH     (formic acid)

NH3 (ammonia)

CH3COOH (acetic acid)

C5H5N (pyridine)

HF(hydrogen fluoride)

NH4OH (ammonium hydroxide)

H2S (hydrogen sulfide)

N(CH3)3 (Trimethyl ammonia)

8. Difference between Corrosion  and erosion.

Corrosion:  - It is natural  process in which  degraded the useful  property of material  such as strength,  structure.  It occurs in  metal but sometimes  in polymer.

Erosion:  -  it is action of surface  process that removes  soil,  rocks or dissolves  material from the one location  to another.

9. What is optically  active compound?

A compound  capable of rotating  the place of vibration  of polarized  light  to right  & left used of molecule  and atom.

10. What are inert gases? Why they are inert? Give the names of four inert gases.

An inert  gas is a gas which  does not undergo  chemical  reactions  under  a set of given conditions.

Inert gases are generally  used to avoid unwanted  chemical  reactions  degrading  the sample.  

These  undesirable  chemical  reactions  are often oxidation  & hydrolysis  with oxygen  and moisture  in air.

Purified  ARGON and NITROGEN gases are most commonly  used as inert  gases. Other inert  gases are NEONE, HELIUM,  CO2.
