Question
What is silviculture? What are its advantages?

Answer

Silviculture is a major program started to replenish depleting forests.Its advantages are:
  1. It produces a large quantity of raw materials for industry (like timber and paper industry).
  2. It increases the area of earth under forests (which is good for the conservation of wildlife).
  3. It maintains a perfect water cycle in nature.
  4. It prevents soil erosion.
  5. It prevents floods.

Atoms of eight elements $A, B, C, D, E, F, G$ and H have the same number of electron shells but different number of electrons in their outermost shells. It was found that elements $A$ and $G$ combine to form an ionic compound. This ionic compound is added in a small amount to almost all vegetables and dishes during cooking. Oxides of elements $A$ and $B$ are basic in nature while those of elements $E$ and $F$ are acidic. The oxide of element $D$ is, however, almost neutral. Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
  1. To which group or period of the periodic table do these elements belong?
  2. What would be the nature of compound formed by a combination of elements $B$ and $F?$
  3. Which two of these elements could definitely be metals?
  4. Which one of the eight elements is most likely to be found in gaseous state at room temperature?
  5. If the number of electrons in the outermost shell of elements $C$ and $G$ be $3$ and $7$ respectively, write the formula of the compound formed by the combination of $C$ and $G.$

 How can the rate of the chemical reaction, namely, decomposition of hydrogen peroxide be increased?
When a mixture of gases $X$ and $Y$ is compressed to $300$atm pressure and then passed over a catalyst consisting of a mixture of zinc oxide and chromium oxide $($heated to a temperature of $300^\circ C),$ then an organic compounds $Z$ having the molecular formula $CH_4O$ is formed. $X$ is a highly poisonous gas which is formed in appreciable amounts when a fuel burns in a limited supply of air; $Y$ is a gas which can be made by the action of a dilute acid on an active metal; and $Z$ is a liquid organic compound which can react with sodium metal to produce hydrogen gas:
  1. What are $X, Y$ and $Z?$
  2. Write a balanced chemical equation of the reaction which takes place when $X$ and $Y$ combine to form $Z.$ Indicate the conditions under which the reaction occurs.
