Question
  1. Why does water transported through lead pipes become poisonous?
  2. When formic acid reacts with conc $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_2$, what will happen? Write chemical equation?
  3. Name the allotrope of carbon which is isomorphous (same structure) with crystalline silicon.

Answer

  1. It is due to formation of lead hydroxide which makes the water poisonous.
  2. Carbon monoxide is formed.
$\text{HCOOH}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \text{conc. H}_2\text{SO}_4\ \ \ \ }\text{H}_2\text{O}+\text{CO}$
  1. Silicon crystals have same octahedral structure as diamond in which each 'C' is linked to four carbon like silicon.
