Question
The liquid air has three components X, Y and Z whose boiling points are: -186°C, -183°C and -196°C, respectively. When liquid air is fed into a tall fractional distillation column from near its bottom and warmed up slowly:
  1. Which component will be collected from near the bottom of the fraction distillation column? Why?
  2. Which component will be collected from the top part of the fractional distillation column? Why?
  3. Which component will be collected from the middle part of the fractional distillation column? Why?
  4. What could the component X, Y and Z be?

Answer

  1. Y will be collected from the area near the bottom of the fractional distillation column because it has highest boiling point (-183°C).
  2. Z will be collected from the top part of the fractional distillation column because it has lowest boiling point (-196°C).
  3. X will be collected from the middle part of the fractional distillation column because it has a boiling point -186°C, which is lower than that of Y but higher than that of Z.
  4. X is liquid argon, Y is liquid oxygen, and Z is liquid nitrogen.

Rutherford (1871-1937) was known as the ‘Father’ of nuclear physics. He is famous for his work on radioactivity and the discovery of the nucleus of an atom with the gold foil experiment. Ernest Rutherford was interested in knowing how the electrons are arranged within an atom. Rutherford designed an experiment for this. In this experiment, fast moving alpha (α)-particles were made to fall on a thin gold foil. On the basis of his experiment, Rutherford put forward the nuclear model of an atom, which had the following features:

  • There is a positively charged centre in an atom called the nucleus. Nearly all the mass of an atom resides in the nucleus.
  • The electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular paths.
  • The size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom.

Drawbacks of Rutherford’s model of the atom: The revolution of the electron in a circular orbit is not expected to be stable. Any particle in a circular orbit would undergo acceleration. During acceleration, charged particles would radiate energy. Thus, the revolving electron would lose energy and finally fall into the nucleus. If this were so, the atom should be highly unstable and hence matter would not exist in the form that we know. We know that atoms are quite stable.

When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.

  2. What type of change occurs when sold D is dissolved in water? Why?
  3. Name a metal which you think could behave like solid A. Also name the products B and C.
  4. Name the solid D if it is the one which is used in making ordinary dry cells.
  5. Name the process by which D can be recovered from E.
A matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Pen, paper, clips, sand, air, ice, etc. are different forms of matter. Every matter is made up of small particles. These particles are so tiny that they can’t be seen with naked eyes. Let’s see about the different characteristics of particles of matter.

  • All matter is made up of very small particles.

A solid mixture contains four constituents P, Q, R and S. P consists of tiny grains and it is mixed with cement for plastering the walls. Q is a white solid which is recovered on a large scale from sea water by the process of evaporation. R is in the form of tiny particles of a material whose corrosion is called rusting. And S is a white solid which is used in making ordinary dry cells.

Dalton’s atomic theory suggested that the atom was indivisible and indestructible. But the discovery of two fundamental particles (electrons and protons) inside the atom, led to the failure of this aspect of Dalton’s atomic theory. It was then considered necessary to know how electrons and protons are arranged within an atom. For explaining this, many scientists proposed various atomic models. J.J. Thomson was the first one to propose a model for the structure of an atom.

J.J. Thomson (1856- 1940) was a British physicist, He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the discovery of electrons. Thomson proposed the model of an atom to be similar to that of a Christmas pudding. The electrons, in a sphere of positive charge. We can also think of a watermelon, the positive charge in the atom is spread all over like the red edible part of the watermelon, while the electrons are studded in the positively charged sphere, like the seeds in the watermelon. Thomson proposed that: An atom consists of a positively charged sphere and the electrons are embedded in it. The negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude. So, the atom as a whole is electrically neutral.

 Do we always need to heat or change pressure for changing the state of matter? Can you quote some examples from everyday life where change of state from liquid to vapour takes place without the liquid reaching the boiling point? In the case of liquids, a small fraction of particles at the surface, having higher kinetic energy, is able to break away from the forces of attraction of other particles and gets converted into vapour. This phenomenon of change of a liquid into vapors at any temperature below its boiling point is called evaporation.
