Question

What do you mean by ozone hole? What are its consequences?

✓

Answer

Pathogens: Pathogens include bacteria and other microorganisms that enter water from domestic sewage and animal excreta.
Human excreta contain bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Streptococcus faecalis , which cause gastrointestinal diseases.
Organic wastes: Organic wastes when added to water, as these are biodegradable, bacteria decomposes organic matter and consume dissolved oxygen in water. When the concentration of dissolved oxygen of water is below 6 ppm, the growth of fish gets inhibited. Breakdown of the organic wastes by anaerobic bacteria produces chemicals that have a foul smell and are harmful to human health.
Chemical pollutants: Some inorganic chemicals as an industrial wastes dissolve in water like cadmium, mercury nickel etc. These metals are dangerous to humans and other animals. These metals can damage kidneys and central nervous system, lever etc. Petroleum products pollute many sources of water.

When a mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium dichromate was heated, a stable colourless gas ‘A’ is evolved which did not support combustion, but Mg continued burning in it. The gas reacted with $CaC_2$ in electric furnace forming a solid 'B'. Which was slowly hydrolysed by water forming a insoluble substance 'C' and a solution of substance 'D' which turns red litmus blue and gives white fumes with conc HCl to form ‘E'. Identify A to E and write chemical reactions involved.

Using van der Waal's equation, calculate the constant 'a' when two moles of gas confined in a four litre flask exerts a pressure of 11.0 atm at a temperature of 300K. The value of 'b' is 0.05 litre per mole.
