Ques: What are the environmental consequences of using the fossil fuels? Suggest some steps to minimise the pollution caused by various sources of energy including non-conventional sources of energy. 

Ans: Environmental consequences of using fossil fuels are:

(i) They are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases such as sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide and methane.

(ii) Extraction of conventional fuels threatens the ecological balance in some areas.

(iii) These fuels can cause environmental problems due to pollution.

Steps to minimize the pollution are:

(i) The dependency on fossil fuels should be reduced by switching to any other sources of energy.

(ii) The judicious use of energy by avoiding the wastage can reduce environmental problems. 

(iii) Regular servicing of energy conversion devices should be done in order to maintain their efficiency.

Unit 14 (Sources of Energy)

(iv) We should focus on developing the technology that should make the energy conversion devices much more efficient and cleaner.

(v) Research should be continued to produce l long lasting devices so that the environmental damage c caused by assembly of devices gets minimized.

Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium || Relation between Beryllium and Aluminium

-
  Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium The ionic radius of Beryllium (Be 2+) is estimated to be nearly 31 pm; the charge/radius ratio Or e/m ratio is nearly the same as that of the Al 3+ ion. Hence beryllium resembles aluminium in these ways. Some of the similarities are given below: » Like Aluminium, Beryllium(be) is not readily attacked by acids H+ donor because of the formation of an oxide film on the surface of the metal by reacting with oxygen, i.e. they are rendered passive by nitric acid. » Beryllium hydroxide[[Be(OH)4]2] dissolves in excess of alkali to give a beryllate ion, [ Be(OH)4]2– just as aluminium hydroxide[Al(OH)3] gives aluminate ion, [Al(OH)4] » The chlorides of metals beryllium and aluminium have Cl– bridged chloride structure in vapour phase. Both the chlorides are soluble in organic solvents and are strong as Lewis acids They are used as Friedel Craft catalysts. » Beryllium(Be) and aluminium(Al) ions have strong tendency to form complexes, (Be...

Phosphorus and chlorine form two compounds.The first compound contains 22.54% by mass of phosphorus and 77.46% by mass of chlorine. In the second compound the percentages are 14.88 for phosphorus and 85.12 for chlorine. Show that these data are consistent with the law of multiple proportions.

Ques : Phosphorus and chlorine form two compounds The first compound contains 22.54% by mass of phosphorus and 77.46% by mass of chlorine. In the second compound the percentages are 14.88 for phosphorus and 85.12 for chlorine. Show that these data are consistent with the law of multiple proportions. Ans : In the first compound,        Percentage of phosphorus = 22.54         Percentage of chlorine = 77.46 Thus, 22.54 g of phosphorus combines with 77.46 g chlorine. In the second compound,        Percentage of phosphorus = 14.88        Percentage of chlorine = 85.12 Thus, 14.88 g of phosphorus combine with 85.12 g of chlorine. Let us fix the mass of phosphorus as 1 g and find the different masses of chlorine which combine with 1 g of phosphorus in two compounds. In the first compound,      Mass of chlorine which combines with 22.54 g of phosphorus = 77.46 g     The mass of chlorin...
