Question 6.
State and describe the two supplementary units.
Answer:
The two supplementary units are:
i) Plane angle (dθ):
a. The ratio of kngth of arc (ds) of an circle to the radius (r) of the circle is called as Plane angle (dθ)
i.e., dθ = \(\frac{\mathrm{ds}}{\mathrm{r}}\)
Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements 3
b. Thus, dθ is angle subtended by the arc at the centre of the circle.
c. Unit: radian (rad)
d. Denoted as θc
e. Length of arc of circle = Circumference of circle = 2πr.
∴ plane angle subtended by entire circle at its centre is θ = \(\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}\) = 2πc

ii) Solid angle (dΩ):
a. solid angle is 3-dimensional analogue of plane angle.
b. Solid angle is defined as area of a portion of surface of a sphere to the square of radius of the sphere.
i.e., dΩ = \(\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}}\)
Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements 4
c. Unit: Steradian (sr)
d. Denoted as (Ω)
e. Surface area of sphere = 4πr2
∴ solid angle subtended by entire sphere at its centre is Ω = \(\frac{4 \pi r^{2}}{r^{2}}\) = 4π sr

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements 7

Question 11.
List the conventions followed while using SI units.
Answer:
Following conventions should be followed while writing S.I. units of physical quantities:

  1. Unit of every physical quantity should be represented by its symbol.
  2. Full name of a unit always starts with smaller letter even if it is named after a person, eg.: 1 newton, 1 joule, etc. But symbol for unit named after a person should be in capital letter, eg.: N after scientist Newton, J after scientist Joule, etc.
  3. Symbols for units do not take plural form.
  4. Symbols for units do not contain any full stops at the end of recommended letter.
  5. The units of physical quantities in numerator and denominator should be written as one ratio. For example the SI unit of acceleration is m/s2 or m s-2 but not m/s/s.
  6. Use of combination of units and symbols for units is avoided when physical quantity is expressed by combination of two. For example, The unit J/kg K is correct while joule/kg K is not correct.
  7. A prefix symbol is used before the symbol of the unit.
    • a. Prefix symbol and symbol of unit constitute a new symbol for the unit which can be raised to a positive or negative power of 10.
      For example,
      1 ms = 1 millisecond = 10-3 s
      1 μs = 1 microsecond = 10-6 s
      1 ns = 1 nanosecond = 10-9 s
    • b. Use of double prefixes is avoided when single prefix is available
      10-6 s = 1 μs and not 1 mms
      10-9 s = 1 ns and not 1 mμs
  8. Space or hyphen must be introduced while indicating multiplication of two units e.g., m/s should be written as m s-1 or m-s-1.

Solved Examples

Question 12.
What is the solid angle subtended by the moon at any point of the Earth, given the diameter of the moon is 3474 km and its distance from the Earth 3.84 × 108 m?
Solution:
Given: Diameter (D) = 3474 km
∴ Radius of moon (R) = 1737 km
= 1.737 × 106 m
Distance from Earth r = 3.84 × 108 m
To find: Solid angle (dΩ)
Formula: dΩ = \(\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}}\)

Calculation:
From formula,
dΩ = \(\frac{\pi \mathrm{R}^{2}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}}\) ……..( cross-sectional area of disc of moon = πR2)
dΩ = \(\frac{\pi \times\left(1.737 \times 10^{5}\right)^{2}}{\left(3.84 \times 10^{8}\right)^{2}}\)
= \(\frac{3.412 \times(1.737)^{2} \times 10^{10}}{(3.84)^{2} \times 10^{16}}\)
= antilog{log(3.142) + 2log(1.737) – 2log(3.84)} × 10-6
= antilog {0.4972 + 2(0.2397) – 2(0.5843)} × 10-6
= antilog{0.4972 + 0.4794 – 1.1686} × 10-6
= antilog{\(\overline{1}\) .8080} × 10-6
= 6.428 × 10-1 × 10-6
= 6.43 × 10-5 sr
Solid angle subtended by moon at Earth is 6.43 × 10-5 sr
[Note: Above answer is obtained substituting value of r as 3.142]

Question 14.
Define a metre.
Answer:
The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299, 792, 458 of a second.
Answer:

Question 15.
What ¡s parallax?
Answer:

  1. Parallax is defined as the apparent change in position of an object due to a change in position of an observer.
  2. Explanation: When a pencil is held in front of our eyes and we look at it once with our left eye closed and then with our right eye closed, pencil appears to move against the background. This effect is called parallax effect.

Question 16.
What is parallax angle?
Answer:
i) Angle between the two directions along which a star or planet is viewed at the two points of observation is called parallax angle (parallactic angle).
Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements 9
ii) It is given by θ = \(\frac{b}{D}\)
where, b = Separation between two points of observation.
D = Distance of source from any point of observation.

Question 17.
Explain the method to determine distance of a planet from the Earth.
Answer:

  1. Parallax method is used to determine distance of different planets from the Earth.
  2. To measure the distance ‘D’ of a far distant planet S, select two different observatories (E1 and E2).
  3. The planet should be visible from E1 and E2 observatories simultaneously i.e. at the same time.
  4. E1 and E2 are separated by distance ‘b’ shown in figure.
    ∴ E1E3 = b
    Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements 10
  5. The angle between the two directions along which the planet is viewed, can be measured. It is parallax angle, which in this case is L ∠E1E2 = θ
  6. The planet is far away from the (Earth) observers, hence
    b < <D
    ∴ \(\frac{b}{D}\) < < 1 and ‘θ’ is also very small.
    Hence, E1E2 can be considered as arc of length b of circle with S as centre and D as radius.
    :. E1S = E2S = D
    ∴ θ = \(\frac{b}{D}\) . . . .(θ is taken in radian)
    ∴ D = \(\frac{b}{\theta}\)
    Thus, the distance ‘D’ of a far away planet ‘S’ can be determined using the parallax method.

Question 18.
Explain how parallax method is used to measure distance of a star from Earth.
Answer:

  1. The parallax measured from two farthest distance points on Earth for stars will be too small and hence cannot be measured.
  2. Instead, parallax between two farthest points (i.e., 2 ΔU apart) along the orbit of Earth around the Sun (s) is measured.
    Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements 11

Question 19.
Explain how size of a planet or star is measured.
Answer:

  1. To determine the diameter (d) of a planet or star, two diametrically opposite points of the planet are viewed from the same observatory.
  2. If d is diameter of planet or star, angle subtended by it at any single point on the Earth is called angular diameter of planet.
  3. Let angle α be angle between these two directions.
  4. If distance between the Earth and planet or star (D) is known, α = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{D}}\)
  5. This relation gives, d = α D
    Thus, diameter (d) of planet or star can be determined.

= antilog {\(\overline{2}\).7598} × 10-4
= 5.751 × 10-2 × 10-4
= 5.75 × 10-6
= 5.75 × 10-6 rad
= 5.75 × 10-6 × 57.297 × 60 × 60 arcsec
…. (converting radian into arcsecond)
= 1.186 arcsec
Parallax is 1.186 arcsec

Question 23.
The moon is at a distance of 3.84 × 108 m from the Earth. If viewed from two diametrically opposite points on the Earth, the angle subtended at the moon is 1° 54′. What is the diameter of the Earth?
Solution:
Given
Distance (D) = 3.84 × 108 m
Subtended angle (α)
= 1° 54′ = (60’+ 54′)= 114′
= 114 × 2.91 × 10-4 rad
= 3.317 × 10-2 rad
To find: Diameter of Earth (d)
Formula: d = αD
Calculation: From formula,
d = 3.317 × 10-2 × 3.84 × 108
= 1.274 × 107 m
Diameter of Earth is 1.274 × 107 m.

Question 24.
Explain the method to measure mass.
Answer:
Method for measurement of mass:

  1. Mass, until recently, was measured with a standard mass of the international prototype of the kilogram (a platinum-iridium alloy cylinder) kept at international Bureau of Weights and Measures, at Serves, near Paris, France.
  2. As platinum – iridium piece was seen to pick up microparticles and found to be affected by atmosphere, its mass could no longer be treated as constant.
  3. Hence, a new definition of mass was introduced in terms of electric current on 20th May 2019.
  4. Now, one kilogram mass is described in terms of amount of current which has to be passed through electromagnet to pull one side of extremely sensitive balance to balance the other side which holds one standard kg mass.
  5. To measure mass of small entities such as atoms and nucleus, atomic mass unit (amu) is used.
    It is defined as (\(\frac{1}{12}\))th mass of an unexcited atom of carbon -12(C12).
    1 amu ≈ 1.66 × 10-27 kg.

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements

Question 25.
That can he the reason for choosing Carbon-12 to define atomic mass unit?
Answer:

  1. Unlike oxygen and hydrogen, which exhibit various isotopes in higher proportions, carbon- 12 is the single most abundant (98% of available carbon) isotope of carbon.
  2. it is also very stable.
    Hence, it makes more accurate unit of measuring mass and is used to define atomic mass unit.

Question 26.
Define mean solar day. Explain the method for measurement of time.
Answer:

  1. A mean solar day is the average time interval from one noon to the next noon.
    Method for measurement of time:
  2. The unit of time, the second, was considered to be \(\frac{1}{86400}\) of the mean solar day, where a mean solar day = 24 hours
    = 24 × 60 × 60
    = 86400 s
  3. However, this definition proved to be unsatisfactory to define the unit of time precisely because solar day varies gradually due to gradual slowing down of the Earth’s rotation. Hence, the definition of second was replaced by one based on atomic standard of time.
  4. Atomic standard of time is now used for the measurement of time. In atomic standard of time, periodic vibrations of caesium atom is used.
  5. One second is time required for 9,192.631,770 vibrations of the radiation corresponding to transition between two hyperfine energy states of caesium-133 (Cs- 133) atom.

Question 27.
Define dimensions and dimensional formula of physical quantities. Give few examples of dimensional formula.
Answer:

  1. Dimensions:
    The dimensions of a physical quantity are the powers to which the fundamental units must be raised in order to obtain the unit of a given physical quantity.
  2. Dimensional formula:
    When any derived quantity is represented with appropriate powers of symbols of the fundamental quantities, SUCh an expression is called dimensional formula.
    It is expressed by square bracket with no comma in between the symbols.
  3. Examples of dimensional formula:
    a. Speed = \(\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { time }}\)
    ∴ Dimensions of speed = \(\frac{[\mathrm{L}]}{[\mathrm{T}]}\) = [L1M0T-1]
    [Note: As power of M is zero, it can be omitted from dimensional formula. Therefore, dimensions of speed can be written as [L1T1]

Question 28.
A book with many printing errors contains four different formulae for the displacement y of a particle undergoing a certain periodic function:
i) y = a sin \(\frac{2 \pi t}{T}\)
ii) y = a sin v t
iii) y = \(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathbf{T}} \sin \frac{\mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{a}}\)
iv) y = \(\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\left[\sin \frac{2 \pi t}{T}+\cos \frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right]\)
Here, a is maximum displacement of particle, y ¡s speed of particle, T is time period of motion. Rule out the wrong formulae on dimensional grounds.

ii) The argument,
[vt] = [LT-1] [T] = [L] = [L1M0T0]
which is not a dimensionless quantity.
Hence, formula (ii) is incorrect.

iii) The argument,
\(\left[\frac{\mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{a}}\right]=\frac{[\mathrm{T}]}{[\mathrm{L}]}\) = [L-1M0T1]
which is not a dimensionless quantity.
Hence, formula (iii) is incorrect.

iv) The argument,
\(\left[\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{T}}\right]=\frac{[\mathrm{T}]}{[\mathrm{T}]}\) = 1 = [L0M0T0]
which is a dimensionless quantity.
Hence, formula (iv) is correct.

  • Dimensional analysis cannot be used to derive relations involving trigonometric (sin θ, cos θ, etc.), exponential (ex, ex2, etc.), and logarithmic functions (log x, log x3, etc) as these quantities are dimensionless.
  • This method is not useful if constant of proportionality is not a dimensionless quantity.
  • If the correct equation contains some more terms of the same dimension, it is not possible to know about their presence using dimensional equation.

Question 35.
If two quantities have same dimensions, do they always represent the same physical content?
Answer:
When dimensions of two quantities are same, they do not always represent the same physical content.
Example:
Force and momentum both have same dimensions but they represent different physical content.

Question 36.
A dimensionally correct equation need not actually be a correct equation but dimensionally incorrect equation is necessarily wrong. Justify.
Answer:
i) To justify a dimensionally correct equation need not be actually a correct equation, consider equation, v2 = 2as
Dimensions of L.H.S. = [v2] = [L2M0T2]
Dimensions of R.H.S. = [as]= [L2M0T2]
⇒ [L.H.S.] = [R.H.S.]
This implies equation v2 = 2as is dimensionally correct.
But actual equation is, v2 = u2 + 2as
This confirms a dimensionally correct equation need not be actually a correct equation.

ii) To justify dimensionally incorrect equation is necessarily wrong, consider the formula,
\(\frac{1}{2}\) mv = mgh
Dimensions of L.H.S. = [mv] = [L1M1T-1]
Dimensions of R.H.S. = [mgh] = [L2M1T-2]
Since the dimensions of R.H.S. and L.H.S. are not equal, the formula given by equation must be incorrect.
This confirms dimensionally incorrect equation is necessarily wrong.

Question 37.

Question 40.
Assume that the speed (v) of sound in air depends upon the pressure (P) and density (ρ) of air, then use dimensional analysis to obtain an expression for the speed of sound.
Solution:
It is given that speed (v) of sound in air depends upon the pressure (P) and density (ρ) of the air.
Hence, we can write, v = k Pa ρb ……….. (1)
where, k is a dimensionless constant and a and b are powers to be determined.
Dimensions of y = [L1M0T-1]
Dimensions of P = [L-1M1T-2]
Dimensions of ρ = [L-3M1T0]
Substituting the dimensions of the quantities on both sides of equation (1),
∴ [L1M0T-1] = [L-1M1T-2]a [L-3M1T0]b
∴ [L1M0T-1] = [L-aMaT-2a] [L-3bMbT0]
∴ [L1M0T-1] = [L-a-3bMa+bT-2a]
Comparing the powers of L, M and T on both sides, we get,
-2a = -1
∴ a = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Also, a + b = O
∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\) + b = 0 b = – \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Substituting values of a and b in equation (1), we get
y = k P\(\frac{1}{2}\) ρ–\(\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ v = k \(\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\rho}}\)

6.67 × 10-8 dyne cm2 g-2
= 6.67 × 10-11 N-m2 kg-2
Value ofG in S.l. system is 6.67 × 10-11 N-m2 kg-2.

Question 43.
What is accuracy?
Answer:
Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the actual value of that quantity.

Question 44.
What is precision?
Answer:
Precision is a measure of how consistently a device records nearly identical values i.e., reproducible results.

Question 45.
A scale in a lab measures the mass of object consistently more by 500 g than their actual mass. How would you describe the scale in terms of accuracy and precision?
Answer:
The scale is precise but not accurate.
Explanation: Precision measures how consistently a device records the same answer; even though it displays the wrong value. Hence, the scale is precise.

Accuracy is how well a device measures something against its accepted value. As scale in the lab is always off by 500 g, it is not accurate.
[Note: The goal of the observer should be to get accurate as well as precise measurements.]

Question 46.
List reasons that may introduce possible uncertainties in an observation.
Answer:
Possible uncertainties in an observation may arise due to following reasons:

  1. Quality of instrument used,
  2. Skill of the person doing the experiment,

  4. External or internal factors affecting the result of the experiment.

Question 47.
What is systematic error? Classify errors into different categories.
Answer:

  1. Systematic errors are errors that are not determined by chance but are introduced by an inaccuracy (involving either the observation or measurement process) inherent to the system.
  2. Classification of errors:
    Errors are classified into following two groups:
  3. Systematic errors:
    • Instrumental error (constant error),
    • Error due to imperfection in experimental technique,
    • Personal error (human error).
  4. Random error (accidental error)

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements

Question 48.
What is instrumental (constant) error?
Answer:
Instrumental error:

  1. It arises due to defective calibration of an instrument.
  2. Example: If a thermometer is not graduated properly, i.e., one degree on the thermometer actually corresponds to 0.99°, the temperature measured by such a thermometer will differ from its value by a constant amount.

Question 49.
What is error due to imperfection in experimental technique?
Answer:
Error due to imperfection in experimental technique:

  • The errors which occur due to defective setting of an instrument is called error due to imperfection in experimental technique.
  • For example the measured volume of a liquid in a graduated tube will be inaccurate if the tube is not held vertical.

Question 50.
What is personal error?
Answer:
Personal error (Human error):

  • The errors introduced due to fault of an observer taking readings are called personal errors.
  • For example, while measuring the length of an object with a ruler, it is necessary to look at the ruler from directly above. If the observer looks at it from an angle, the measured length will be wrong due to parallax.

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements

Question 51.
What is random error (accidental)?
Answer:

  1. Random error (accidental):
    The errors which are caused due to minute change in experimental conditions like temperature, pressure change in gas or fluctuation in voltage, while the experiment is being performed are called random errors.
  2. They can be positive or negative.
  3. Random error cannot be eliminated completely but can be minimized by taking multiple observations and calculating their mean.

Question 52.
State general methods to minimise effect of systematic errors.
Answer:
Methods to minimise effect of systematic errors:

  1. By using correct instrument.
  2. Following proper experimental procedure.
  3. Removing personal error.

Question 53.
Define the term:
Arithmetic mean
Answer:
Arithmetic mean:
a. The most probable value of a large number of readings of a quantity is called the arithmetic mean value of the quantity. This value can be considered to be true value of the quantity.

b. If a1, a2, a3, …………… an are ‘n’ number of readings taken for measurement of a quantity, then their mean value is given by,
amean = \(\frac{a_{1}+a_{2}+\ldots \ldots .+a_{n}}{n}\)
∴ amean = \(\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_{i}\)

Question 54.
What does a = amean ± ∆amean signify?
Answer:
a = amean ± ∆ amean signifies that the actual value of a lies between (amean – ∆ amean) and (amean + ∆ amean).

Question 55.
What is meant by the term combination of errors?
Answer:
Derived quantities may get errors due to individual errors of fundamental quantities, such type of errors are called as combined errors.

Question 56.
Explain errors in sum and in difference of measured quantity.
Answer:
Errors in sum and in difference:
i) Suppose two physical quantities A and B have measured values A ± ∆A and B ± ∆B. respectively, where ∆A and ∆B are their mean absolute errors.

ii) Then, the absolute error ∆Z in their sum.
Z = A + B
Z ± ∆Z = (A ± ∆A) + (B ± ∆B)
= (A + B) ± ∆A ± ∆B
∴ ± ∆Z = ± ∆A ± ∆B.

iii) For difference. i.e.. if Z = A – B.
Z ± ∆Z = A ± ∆A) – (B ± ∆B)
= (A – B) ± ∆A ∓ ∆B
∴ ± ∆Z = ± ∆A ∓ ∆B,

iv) There are four possible values for ∆Z. namely (+∆A – ∆B), (+∆A + ∆B), (-∆A -∆B), (-∆A + ∆B). Hence, maximLim value of absolute error is ∆Z = (∆A+ ∆B) in both the cases.

v) Thus. when two quantities are added or subtracted, the absolute error in the final result is the sum of the absolute errors in the individual quantities.

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements

Question 57.
Explain errors in product of measured quantity.
Answer:
Errors in product:
i) Suppose Z = AB and measured values of A and B are (A ± ∆A) and (B ± ∆B) then,
Z ± ∆Z = (A ± ∆A) (B ± ∆B)
= AB ± A∆B ± B∆A ± ∆A∆B
Dividing L.H.S by Z and R.H.S. by AB we get
\(\left(1 \pm \frac{\Delta Z}{Z}\right)=\left[1 \pm \frac{\Delta B}{B} \pm \frac{\Delta A}{A} \pm\left(\frac{\Delta A}{A}\right)\left(\frac{\Delta B}{B}\right)\right]\)
Since ∆A/A and ∆B/B are very small, product is neglected. Hence, maximum relative error in Z is \(\frac{\Delta Z}{Z}=\frac{\Delta A}{A}+\frac{\Delta B}{B}\)

ii) Thus, when two quantities are multiplied, the maximum relative error in the result is the sum of relative errors in each quantity.

Question 58.
Explain errors due to power (index) of measured quantity.
Answer:
Errors due to the power (index) of measured quantity:

  1. Suppose
    Z = A3 = A × A × A
    then, \(\)
  2. Hence the relative error in Z = A3 is three times the relative error in A.
  3. This means if Z = An
    Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements 23
  4. This implies, the quantity in the formula which has large power is responsible for maximum error.

Question 59.
The radius of a sphere measured repeatedly yields values 5.63 m, 5.54 m, 5.44 m, 5.40 m and 5.35 m. Determine the most probable value of radius and the mean absolute, relative and percentage errors.
Solution:
Given: a1 = 5.63 m, a2 = 5.54 m, a3 = 5.44 m
a4 = 5.40 m, a5 = 5.35 m,
To find:
i) Most probable value (Mean value)
ii) Mean absolute error
iii) Relative error
iv) Percentage error
Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements 24
From formula (ii),
Absolute errors:
∆a1 = |amean – a1| = |5.472 – 5.63| = 0.158
∆a2 = |amean – a2| = |5.472 – 5.54| = 0.068
∆a3 = |amean – a3| = |5.472 – 5.44| = 0.032
∆a4 = |amean – a4| = |5.472 – 5.40| = 0.072
∆a5 = |amean – a5| = |5.472 – 5.35| = 0.122

From formula (ii),
∆amean = \(\frac{0.158+0.068+0.032+0.072+0.122}{5}\)
= \(\frac{0.452}{5}\)
= 0.0904 m
From formula (iii),
Relative error = \(\frac{0.0904}{5.472}\)
= 1.652 × 10-2
(after rounding off to correct significant digits)
= 1.66 × 10-2
= 0.0166
∴ Percentage error = 1.66 × 10-2 × 100 = 1.66%
i) The mean value is 5.472 m.
ii) The mean absolute error is 0.0904 m.
iii) The relative error is 0.0166.
iv) The percentage error is 1.66%
[Note: Answer to relative error is rounded off using rules of significant figures and of rounding off]

i) Total mass of the box
= (2.3+ 0.02017 + 0.02015) kg
= 2.34032 kg
Since, the last number of significant figure is 2, therefore, the total mass of the box = 2.3 kg

ii) Difference of mass = (20.17 – 20.15) = 0.02g Since, there are two significant figures so the difference in masses to the correct significant figures is 0.02 g.

i) The total mass of the box to correct significant figures is 2.3 kg.
ii) The difference in the masses to correct significant figures is 0.02 g.

Question 4.
A student measured the diameter of a small steel ball using a screw gauge of least count 0.001 cm. The main scale reading is 5 mm and zero of circular scale division coincides with 25 divisions above the reference leveL If screw gauge has a zero error of— 0.004 cm, the correct diameter of the ball is
(A) 0.521 cm
(B) 0.525 cm
(C) 0.053 cm
(D) 0.29 cm
Answer:
(D) 0.29 cm

Hint:
Least count of screw gauge = 0.001 cm = 0.01mm
Main scale reading = 5 mm.
Zero error = – 0.004 cm = -0.04 mm
Zero correction = +0.04 mm
Observed reading = Mainscale reading + (Division × least count)
Observed reading = 5 + (25 × 0.01) = 5.25 mm
Corrected reading = Observed reading + Zero correction
Corrected reading = 5.25 + 0.04
= 5.29 mm = 0.529 cm

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Physics Important Questions Chapter 1 Units and Measurements 37
Answer:
(A) \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{c}^{2}}\left[\mathrm{G} \frac{\mathrm{e}^{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\right]^{1 / 2}\)

Hint:
Let the physical quantity formed of the dimensions of length be given as.
[L] = [c]x [G]y \(\left[\frac{\mathrm{e}^{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\right]^{z}\) …………….. (i)
Now,
Dimensions of velocity of light [c]x = [LT-1]x
Dimensions of universal gravitational constant
[G]y = [L3T2M-1]y
Dimensions of \(\left[\frac{\mathrm{e}^{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\right]^{z}\) = [ML3T-2]z
Substitrning these in equation (i)
[L] [LT-1]x [M-1L3T-2]y [ML3T-2]z
= Lx+3y+3z M-y+z T-x-2y-2z
Solving for x, y, z
x + 3y + 3z = 1
-y + z = 0
x + 2y + 2z = O
Solving the above equation,
x = -2, y = \(\frac{1}{2}\), z = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ L = \(\frac{1}{c^{2}}\left[\mathrm{G} \frac{\mathrm{e}^{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\right]^{1 / 2}\)

Answer:
Maharashtra Board Class 11 Political Science Important Questions Chapter 5 Concept of Representation 2B Q1.1

3. Explain the correlation between the following.

Question 1.
Political Parties and Pressure Groups.
Answer:
Political parties are the most important channels for political representation. They are organized groups comprising of persons who hold similar views on a variety of issues or have similar objectives. They seek to obtain political power, generally, through the process of elections. The views of a party taken together are called the party’s ideology. At election times, political parties issue ‘Manifestos’ i.e., what policies/programmes they would implement if voted to power. Every party puts up its candidates who contest election.

Interest and Pressure groups are informal channels that seek to represent the people. A pressure group is an interest group that is organized to influence public opinion and government policy towards the fulfillment of its objectives and without active participation in the electoral process. This includes interest groups in the fields of business such as the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), for labour e.g., Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), Bharatiya Kamgar Sena (BKS), for peasants such as Shetkari Sanghatana, for students such as Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), National Students Union of India (NSUI). In the USA, pressure groups are also called Lobby Groups.

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Political Science Important Questions Chapter 5 Concept of Representation

Many pressure groups today are closely affiliated with political parties e.g., ABVP is the student wing of BJP and BKS is the Shiv Sena’s Trade Union. Both the pressure group and the political party will then support each other in times of elections and decision-making in aspects like finance, manpower, and publicity.

Question 1.
Explain the Divine Rights Theory.
Answer:
The Divine Rights of Kings Theory was propagated in Europe by Kings like James I (England). It explained that the Monarchs were God’s representatives on earth to whom, the people had to render habitual obedience. The King was infallible and unquestionable as he derived his power from God. Disobedience to the King was akin to sinning against God. This theory was used to strengthen the Absolute Monarchy in Europe.

Question 2.
Explain Representative Assemblies in Europe.
Answer:
Representative Democracy has its origins in medieval Europe. Till that time, Absolute Monarchies existed in most countries. The Divine Rights of Kings Theory was in application. As time went by, monarchs in many countries like England started having Representative Assemblies that represented the population. Soon, these assemblies asked for a share in the decision-making process of the country leading to conflicts between the monarchs and the Assemblies for e.g. French Revolution. Most conflicts ended with reduced/power to the monarchs. The Representative assemblies, now become Political Representatives as they dealt with all government activities.

Question 3.

  • Non-official Method: Civil society represents the people through various pressure groups like trade unions, student groups, etc.

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Political Science Important Questions Chapter 5 Concept of Representation

Question 4.
Explain the Proportional System of Representation.
Answer:
Proportional Representation is generally used in multi-member constituencies. In this system, the number of candidates of a given political party to be elected depends upon the proportion of votes that it receives. For instance, if a political party receives 40% of the votes in a five-member constituency, then two of its candidates will be elected from that constituency. This system is not used in India. There is a sub-type of the proportional system which is known as the Single-Transferable Vote (STV) system. Here the voters have to rank the candidates in order of preferences. This system is used in elections to the Rajya Sabha and to the State Legislative Councils in India.

Political parties can be classified as National or State parties. The Election commission has decided that a political party shall be eligible to be recognized as a National party if-

  • House of the People or, to the State Legislative Assembly; and
  • In addition, it wins at least four seats in the House of the People from any State or state.

OR

  • It wins at least two percent (2%) seats in the House of the People (i.e., 11 seats in the existing House having 543 members), and these members are elected from at least three different States.

Question 8.
How do pressure groups differ from social movements?
Answer:
Pressure groups are different from social movements. The pressure groups usually have a more formalized structure.

3. Express your opinion of the following.

Question 1.
The Presidential System may lead to a deadlock in government functioning.
Answer:
The President is both Head of State and Head of government. He/she is directly elected by the people for a fixed tenure for e.g., US President is elected for a 4 year tenure. There is only one executive. The legislature (Congress in the USA) is also directly elected by the citizens.

There exists a separation of legislative and executive powers as well as a system of ‘checks and balances’ for e.g., Legislature can impeach the President, while the President can exercise the ‘Veto Power’ to reject any law passed by the Legislature.

Thus, there can be an impasse in government functioning for e.g., since President Trump assumed office- there have been many cases of a standoff between the office of the President and the US Congress, especially the Democrats. In 2019, the Congress voted to overturn President Trump’s emergency declaration to build a border wall with Mexico. In turn, the President ‘vetoed’ this vote.

4. Answer the following questions.

Question 1.
Explain the nature of Indian Federation.
Answer:
In India, at the time of independence, there were Princely States and areas under British administration. The States were created after independence on the basis of language i.e., linguistic reorganisation of States. The Union Government created the States. The journey of Indian Federalism has been mixed. After independence, the States had been granted additional powers. However, later economic and technological changes had led to the enhancement of the powers of the Central government.

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Political Science Important Questions Chapter 4 Constitutional Government

The Indian Federation differs greatly from the US federation. India has been described as ‘quasi-federation’ or a ‘federation with an unitary spirit’ as the division of powers favors the central government for e.g., it has full control over the Union list and Residuary subjects and it’s laws have precedence over state legislations even in case of the subjects in Concurrent list.

Question 2.
Explain the components of a Constitution.
Answer:
The constitution is the highest law of the country. It reflects the objectives of the state and the rights and aspiration of its citizens. It establishes the rule of law and sets limits on government authority. A constitution is a living document that indicates the way in which a country is governed. The primary function of the constitution is to lay out the basic structure of the government according to which the people are to be governed.

A constitution has three distinct but interrelated components.

  • Set of Rules – A constitution is a set of rules that describes the structure, powers and functions of the three organs of government to ensure that each organ functions without its jurisdiction. It lays down the limitations on what the government can do or cannot do.
  • Set of Rights – A constitution lists the rights of the citizens, means for protection of this rights and the duties of citizens. It also lists the means of protecting the rights e.g., in India, the judiciary is entrusted with protecting the rights. The rights guaranteed by the constitution are not unlimited i.e. they are subject to reasonable limitations.
  • Set of Objectives and Values – A constitution enumerates the values and objectives that it seeks to fulfill. For e.g., Indian Constitution seeks to ensure the values of justice, liberty and equality.

Question 3.
Explain Parliamentary system.
Answer:
The two main types of democratic governments are Parliamentary System (as seen in the United Kingdom, India, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc.) and Presidential System (which exists in the United State of America, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, etc.). This distinction is mainly based on the nature of Legislature-Executive relationship.

Parliamentary System – It makes a distinction between Head of State (President of India) and Head of Government (Prime Minister and his Council of Ministers).

The main features of the parliamentary system are:

  • There is a fusion of legislature and executives powers. The executive i.e., the ministry is drawn from the legislature and is subordinate to it. Ministers are also members of Parliament.
  • There are two executives i.e., nominal (President of India or Monarch in England) and real (ministry). All powers are exercised by the real executive although it is conducted in the name of the nominal executive.
  • It is a responsible government- The Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers stay in power only as long as they have the required majority in the Parliament. In case, the Ministry loses majority support, the Prime Minister along with his Council of Ministers has to resign.
  • It may exist either as Republics or as Constitutional Monarchies depending on the nature of the nominal executive. In a Republic, the nominal executive is elected while in a Monarchy, he/she assumes position on the basis of heredity.
  • Most Parliamentary systems have a Bicameral Parliament for e.g., in England, Parliament consists of House of Commons (lower house-directly elected)] and House of Lords (Upper house hereditary basis)

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Political Science Important Questions Chapter 4 Constitutional Government

Question 4.
Explain Presidential system.
Answer:
The main features of Presidential system are:

  • The President who is directly elected by the citizens for a fixed tenure is both, Head of State and Head of Government.
  • Thus, there is only one executive.
  • The Legislature is also directly elected. Members of the executive are not permitted to belong to the legislature.
  • There exists a separation of legislative and executive powers as well as a system of checks and balances for e.g.
  • The legislature can impeach the President while the President, can exercise the ‘Veto Power’ to reject any law passed by the
  • Legislature.
  • The President can continue in office irrespective of whether or not he/she enjoys majority support in the Legislature.

Question 5.
What are the two processes of forming a Federation?
Answer:
Federation may be performed by two processes-

  • Small political units ‘come together to establish a single, large political unit for e.g., thirteen colonies came together to fight for independence from British rule and the US federation came into being. This is called centripetal process.
  • States are created by the union government for e.g., in India, States were reorganized on the basis of language and other regional aspirations. This is the centrifugal process.

Question 6.
Explain Unitary System of Government.
Answer:
Countries that are small in size prefer to have a single, central, government. This is called the Unitary System. It is seen in Cuba, France, Bolivia, Israel, Portugal, Sri Lanka, etc, Some hitherto unitary systems change to a quasi-unitary form, through establishment of provinces and distribution of political power to somewhat autonomous units, for e.g., UK has an unitary system. However, it’s regions i.e. Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland have their own assemblies with some degree of autonomy. These are known as ‘Holding Together’ federations.

Question 7.
Write about the Seventh Schedule of Indian Constitution.
Answer:
The Seventh Schedule of the constitution contains three lists i.e., the Union List, the State List and the Concurrent List. Each list contains subjects over which the Central Government, The State Governments (as far as their respective states are concerned), or both the governments can take decisions and make laws respectively. In cases where both the Central and State governments have made laws about subjects falling in the Concurrent List, then the decision of the former prevails. Furthermore, the State Governments can also ask the Central Government to make laws on subjects included in the State List, if such a need arises.

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Political Science Important Questions Chapter 4 Constitutional Government

Question 8.
Explain Basic Structure Doctrine.
Answer:
The Supreme Court of India, in the celebrated Keshavananda Bharati (1973) laid down the restrictions on the power of the Government to amend the Constitution. It ruled that the Constitution of India possessed a basic structure which could not be altered in any manner, and that other than this there were no restrictions on the power of parliament to amend the Constitution. This is known as Basic Structure Doctrine.

Question 1.
Explain Federation.
(i) What is a federation?
(ii) Features of a federation.
(iii) Processes of forming a federation.
(iv) Quasi-federal nature of Indian Federation.
Answer:
(i) A federation refers to a political structure in which there are two sets of governments i.e. one for the whole country and governments in each of the federal units (called Provinces or States). There is a distribution of powers between the Federal government (also known as Union or Central Government) and the State Governments. Federal governments are preferred in countries having large size and heterogeneous population.

(ii) The main features of a federation are

  • Dual set of governments i.e., Union government and State governments.
  • Division of power between the two sets of governments for e.g., in India, jurisdiction is distributed between the Union (Centre) and States on the basis of Union, State and Concurrent list (as stated in Seventh Schedule of the Constitution)
  • A written constitution to enable a clear distribution of government powers.
  • Independent judiciary to resolve center-state or state-state disputes.

(iii) Federation may be performed by two processes

  • Small political units ‘come together to establish a single unit for e. g., thirteen colonies came together to fight for independence from British rule and the US federation came into being. This is called centripetal process.
  • States are created by the union government for e.g., in India, states were reorganized on the basis of language and other regional aspirations. This is the centrifugal process.

  3. All the above structural components make the alveoli very flexible.

Question 5.
Expiration is called a passive process.
Answer:

  1. During expiration, intercostal muscles relax. This results in pulling the ribs inwards.
  2. Diaphragm also relaxes and returns to its normal dome shape.
  3. The collective contraction of ribs and diaphragm results in the reduction of
    thoracic cavity and hence automatically air is pushed out of the lungs.
  4. Since the pressure on the lungs increase rushing the air to outside, expiration is called a passive process.

Question 6.
Pericardium acts as a defence wall for the heart.
Answer:

  1. Pericardium protects the heart. It is double layered peritoneum, having outer fibrous and inner serous pericardium layers.
  2. Fibrous pericardium being tough gives protection to the heart.
  3. Serous pericardium has two layers, parietal and visceral layer or epicardium.
  4. In between these two layers, there is pericardial fluid, which helps to absorb shocks and provide nourishment.
  5. In this way pericardium acts as a defence wall.

Question 10.
In normal human heart, there is no mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
Answer:

  1. In normal human heart, there is completely formed atrioventricular septum.
  2. This septum keeps the deoxygenated and oxygenated blood separate.
  3. Hence there is no mixing of the two types of blood.

Question 11.
Blood pressure is inversely related to the elasticity of the blood vessels.
Answer:

  1. When the blood gushes through the blood vessels, the walls of blood vessels -can expand a little due to their elasticity.
  2. But as the age advances, the elasticity is reduced and then the blood vessels do not expand.
  3. Hence the flowing blood gets more resistance and the blood pressure can rise.
  4. Lesser the elasticity more will be the blood pressure, whereas more the elasticity of the vessel wall, then the pressure will not rise.
  5. In this way, the blood pressure is inversely related to the elasticity of the blood vessels.

Write short notes

Question 1.
Chloride shift or Hamburger’s phenomenon.
Answer:

  1. About 70% of CO2 is transported in the form of sodium bicarbonates/potassium bicarbonates from tissue cells to lungs.
  2. In the RBCs, CO2 combines with water in the presence of a Zn containing enzyme, carbonic anhydrase to form carbonic acid. This action is rapid in RBCs as compared to that in the plasma.
  3. Carbonic acid being unstable, immediately dissociates into HCO3 and H+in the presence of same enzyme, leading to large accumulation of HCO3 inside the RBCs. It thus moves out of RBCs. This can bring about imbalance of the charge inside the RBCs.
  4. To maintain the ionic balance between the RBCs and the plasma, Cl diffuses into the RBCs. This movement of chloride ions is known as chloride shift or Hamburger’s phenomenon.
  5. HCO3 that comes in the plasma joins to Na+/K+ forming NaHCO3/KHCO3 which can maintain pH of blood. The remaining H+ ions in the RBCs are buffered by haemoglobin by the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
  6. At the level of lungs, due to the low partial pressure of carbon dioxide of the alveolar air, hydrogen ion and bicarbonate ions combine to form carbonic acid and under the influence of carbonic anhydrase again yields carbon dioxide and water.

Question 2.
Regulation of breathing.
Answer:
(1) Respiration is under dual control, i.e. nervous and chemical. Normal breathing is an involuntary process. Steady state of respiration is controlled by neurons located in the pons and medulla and are known as the respiratory centres. They regulate the rate and depth of breathing.

(2) These centres are divided into three groups : dorsal group of neurons in the medulla (inspiratory centre), ventro-lateral group of neurons in medulla (inspiratory and expiratory centre) and pneumotaxic centre located in the pons and apneustic centre which is antagonistic in action to pneumotaxic centre.

(3) During inspiration, when the lungs expand to a critical point, the stretch receptors are stimulated and impulses are sent along the vagus nerves to the expiratory centre. It then sends out inhibitory impulses to the inspiratory centre.

(4) The inspiratory muscles relax and expiration follows. As the air leaves but, the lungs are deflated and the stretch receptors are no longer stimulated. Thus, the inspiratory centre is no longer inhibited and a new respiration begins. These events are called the Hering – Breuer reflex. The Hering – Breuer reflex controls the depth and rhythm of respiration. It also prevents the lungs from inflating to the point of bursting.

(5) The respiratory centre has connections with the cerebral cortex that means we can voluntarily change our pattern of breathing. Voluntary control is protective because it enables us to prevent water or irritating gases from entering the lungs.

Question 3.
Carbon monoxide poisoning.
Answer:

  1. Carbon monoxide poisoning is caused when carbon monoxide is combined with haemoglobin.
  2. Haemoglobin is said to have 250 times more affinity for carbon monoxide than that for the oxygen.
  3. Therefore, haemoglobin with carbon monoxide forms a stable compound, the carboxyhemoglobin.
  4. Due to the formation of carboxyhaemoglobin, the haemoglobin no longer carries oxygen to the cells and tissues. Tissues then suffer from oxygen starvation. This leads to asphyxiation and in extreme cases it leads to death.
  5. Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs in closed rooms with incompletely burning substances such as stove burners or furnaces and garages having running automobile engines.
  6. Person suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning has to be administered with oxygen-carbon dioxide mixture, so that high levels of CO2 makes carbon monoxide dissociated from haemoglobin.

Question 4.
Artificial ventilation.
Answer:
(1) Artificial ventilation is the artificial respiration. It is the method of inducing breathing in a person when natural respiration has ceased or is faltering. If used properly and quickly, it can prevent death due to drowning, choking, suffocation, electric shock, etc.

(2) The process involves two main steps:
a. Establishing and maintaining an open air passage from the upper respiratory tract to the lungs.
b. Force inspiration and expiration as in mouth to mouth respiration or by mechanical means like ventilator.

(3) A ventilator is a machine that supports breathing and is used during surgery, treatment for serious lung diseases or other conditions when normal breathing fails.

Question 5.
Erythrocytes.

  5. RBCs are formed by the process of erythropoiesis. In foetus, RBC formation takes place in liver and spleen whereas in adults it occurs in red bone marrow.
  6. The old and worn out RBCs are destroyed in liver and spleen.
  7. Polycythemia is an increase in number of RBCs while erythrocytopenia is decrease in their (RBCs) number.

Functions of RBCs:

  1. Transport of oxygen from lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide from tissues to lungs with the help of haemoglobin.
  2. Maintenance of blood pH as haemoglobin acts as a buffer.
  3. Maintenance of the viscosity of blood.

Question 6.
Heartbeat.
Answer:

  1. The rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the heart is called heartbeat.
  2. Each heartbeat includes one systole and one diastole. During systole the heart contracts and during diastole it relaxes.
  3. The rate with which the heart beats is called heart rate. The normal heart rate is 72 beats per minute.
  4. Tachycardia means faster heart rate of about more than 100 beats per minute.
  5. Bradycardia means slower heart rate that is below 60 beats per minute.

Question 7.
Pulse.
Answer:

  1. A pressure wave that travels through the arteries after each ventricular systole is called a pulse.
  2. The pulse can be felt in any artery that lies near the surface of the body.
  3. The radial artery at the wrist is most commonly used to feel the pulse.
  4. The pulse rate per minute indicates the heart rate. Since each heartbeat generates one pulse in the arteries, the pulse rate is same as that of heart rate, i.e. 72 times per minute.

  2. When the blood pressure is persistently more than 140 mm Hg systolic pressure and 90 mm Hg diastolic arterial blood pressure then it is said to be hypertension or high blood pressure.
  3. Excessively high blood pressure is very dangerous as high blood pressure of about 220/120 mm Hg may cause rupturing of blood vessels.
  4. Rupture of eye blood vessels can lead to blindness.
  5. If blood vessels of kidney are affected then nephritis is caused.
  6. Hemorrhage occurring in the brain can lead to stroke or paralysis. Therefore, hypertension is commonly called silent killer. It may be present for years with no distinct symptoms.
  7. The factors causing hypertension are arteriosclerosis (reduction of elasticity of blood vessels), atherosclerosis (deposition, of cholesterol inside the blood vessels wall), obesity, physical or emotional stress, alcoholism, smoking, cholesterol rich diet, increased secretion of renin, epinephrine or aldosterone, etc.

Question 11.
Coronary artery disease (CAD).
Answer:

  1. Coronary artery disease is a condition caused due to problems like atherosclerosis.
  2. In this disease, coronary arteries are narrowed due to deposition of fatty substances.
  3. Due to this the blood flow to the heart is reduced.
  4. In coronary heart disease, the heart muscle is damaged because of an inadequate amount of blood due to obstruction of its blood supply.
  5. The symptoms of CAD depend upon the degree of obstruction.
  6. Symptoms are mild chest pain or angina pectoris.
  7. In severe cases it results in heart attack known as myocardial infarction.

Question 12.
Angina pectoris.
Answer:

  1. Angina pectoris is the pain in the chest. It results from a reduction in blood supply to cardiac muscle due to narrowed and hardened coronary arteries.
  2. Atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis can cause this problem. Basically, the coronary arteries are affected during angina pectoris.
  3. It causes heaviness and severe pain in the chest. The pain can also be felt at the neck, lower jaw, left arm and left shoulder.
  4. Angina pectoris often occurs during exertion, when the heart demands more oxygen and narrowed blood vessels cannot supply. It disappears with rest.

Question 13.
Heart failure.
Answer:

  1. Heart failure is caused due to progressive weakening of the heart muscle. This results in the failure of the heart to pump the blood effectively.
  2. Hypertension increase the after load on the heart leading to significant enlargement of the heart.
  3. This finally results in heart failure.
  4. Factors responsible for heart failure are advanced age, malnutrition, chronic infections, toxins, severe anaemia or hyperthyroidism, etc.
  5. Any problem leading to degeneration of heart muscle, may result in heart failure.

Question 14.
Atherosclerosis.
Answer:

  1. Atherosclerosis is the deposition of fatty substances and cholesterol on the inner lining of eateries.
  2. This deposition results in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque.
  3. It results in the decrease of the lumen of the blood vessels causing increasing resistance for the blood to flow which in turn results in the hypertension.
  4. Atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries results in decrease in the blood flow to the heart muscles.
  5. Due to such condition, coronary heart disease is caused.

Question 15.
ECG.
Answer:

  1. Electrocardiogram or ECG is the graphic v record of electrical variations produced by the heart during one heartbeat or cardiac cycle.
  2. ECG is taken with the help of an instrument called electrocardiograph or ECG machine. Electrocardiograph records the action potentials generated by the heart muscles.
  3. The electrical activity of heart is represented in the form of a graph plotted with time on X-axis against voltage displacement on Y-axis.
  4. A normal ECG is a graph having series of ridges and furrows. There are waves such as P-wave, QRS complex and T-wave.
  5. P-wave is a small upwards wave representing impulse generated by SA node. P-wave is caused by atrial depolarization that results in atrial contraction.
  6. QRS-complex wave begins as a downward deflection, continues as a large upright triangular wave and ends’ as a downward wave.
  7. QRS-complex wave represents spreading of impulse from SA node to AV node, then to bundle of His and Purkinje fibres. It causes ventricular depolarization resulting in ventricular contraction.
  8. T-wave is a broad upward wave which represents ventricular repolarization resulting in ventricular relaxation.
  9. Functions of ECG are mainly for diagnosis and also for prognosis. It is useful to detect abnormal functioning of heart as in coronary artery diseases, heart block, angina pectoris, tachycardia, ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, etc.

Question 16.
Angiography.
Answer:

  1. Angiography is an X-ray imaging of the cardiac blood vessels to locate the position of blockages.
  2. Depending upon the degree of blockage, remedial procedures like angioplasty or by¬pass surgery are performed.
  3. In angioplasty a stent is inserted at the site of blockage to restore the blood supply while in by-pass surgery, the atherosclerotic region is by-passed with part of vein or artery taken from any other suitable part of the body, like hands or legs.

Question 17.
Silent Heart Attack or silent myocardial infarction.
Answer:

  1. Silent heart attack is a type of heart attack that lacks the general symptoms of classic heart attack like extreme chest pain, hypertension, shortness of breath, sweating and dizziness.
  2. Symptoms of silent heart attack are so mild that a person often confuses it for regular « discomfort and thereby ignores it.
  3. Men are more affected by silent heart attack than women.

Question 18.

Short Answer Questions

Question 1.
What is meant by respiration? How is it useful in the production of energy?
Answer:

  1. Respiration is the biochemical process in which organic compound such as glucose are oxidized to liberate chemical energy.
  2. During respiration energy is released in gradual and step wise process. The released energy is in the form of bonds of ATP (Adenosine Tri Phosphate) molecules are shown below:
    C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38 ATP
  3. ATP is the biologically useful energy. ATP drives most of the life process.
  4. When cell requires the energy, ATP is hydrolyzed and is converted into ADP with subsequent release of energy.
  5. The respiratory system, blood and the body cells play an important role in the process of respiration.

Question 2.
How does exchange of gases take place at the alveolar level?
Answer:
1. Exchange of gases between the alveolar air and the blood is known as external respiration.

2. Simple squamous epithelial layer of alveolus is intimately associated with a similar layer lining the capillary wall. Both of these layers are thin walled and together they make up the respiratory membrane through which gaseous exchange occurs between the alveolar air and the blood.

3. Diffusion of gases will take place from an area of higher partial pressure to an area of lower partial pressure until the partial pressure in the two regions reaches equilibrium.

4. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide of blood entering the pulmonary capillaries is 45 mmHg while partial pressure of carbon dioxide in alveolar air is 40 mmHg. Due to this difference, carbon dioxide diffuses from the capillaries into the alveolus.

5. Similarly, partial pressure of oxygen of blood in pulmonary capillaries is 40 mmHg while in alveolar blood it is 104 mmHg. Due to this difference oxygen diffuses from alveoli to the capillaries.

Question 3.
What is the role of haemoglobin in the transport of oxygen in the blood?
Answer:

  1. Haemoglobin is a respiratory pigment present in cytoplasm of RBCs. About 97% of oxygen is transported by these haemoglobin molecules from lungs to tissues.
  2. Haemoglobin has a high affinity for Oa and combines with it to form oxyhaemoglobin. One molecule of Hb has four FeT, each of which can pick up a molecule of oxygen (O2). Hb + 4O2 → Hb (4O2)
  3. Oxyhaemoglobin is transported from lungs to the tissues where it readily dissociates to release O2.
    Hb (4O2) → Hb + 4O2
  4. In the alveoli where PPOa is high and PPCO2 is low, oxygen binds with haemoglobin, but in tissues, where PPO2 is lower and PPCO2 is high, Oxyhaemoglobin dissociates and releases O2 for diffusion into the tissue cells.

Question 4.
What is blood? What is the normal quantity of blood in an adult human being?
Answer:

  1. Blood is the fluid connective tissue that circulates in the body.

Question 5.
Describe the structure and the function of thrombocytes.
Answer:

  1. Thrombocytes or platelets are non- nucleated, round and biconvex blood corpuscles.
  2. They are smallest corpuscles measuring about 2.5 to 5 mm in diameter with a count of about 2.5 lakhs/cu mm of blood.
  3. Their life span is about 5 to 10 days.
  4. Thrombocytes are formed from megakaryocytes of bone marrow. They break from these cells as fragments during the process of thrombopoiesis.
  5. Thrombocytosis is the increase in platelet count while thrombocytopenia is decrease in platelet count.
  6. Thrombocytes possess thromboplastin which helps in clotting of blood.
  7. Therefore, at the site of injury platelets aggregate and form a platelet plug. Here they release thromboplastin due to which further blood clotting reactions take place.

Question 6.
Describe the structure of the heart wall.
Answer:

  1. The heart wall is composed of three layers, viz. outer epicardium, middle myocardium and inner endocardium.
  2. Epicardium is composed of single layer of mesothelium having flat epithelial cells.
  3. Myocardium is composed of cardiac muscle fibres. These muscle fibres perform the function of systole and diastole by showing contraction and relaxation of muscle wall of the heart.
  4. Endocardium is composed of single layer of flat epithelial cells called endothelium.

Question 7.
Name the two heart sounds. How and when are they produced?
Answer:

  1. In one normal heartbeat the heart sounds like lubb and dup are produced once each.
  2. The rhythmic contraction (Systole) and relaxation (diastole) forms are heartbeat. The heart sounds are due to closure of valves.
  3. Lubb sound is produced during ventricular systole when the cuspid valves close both the atrioventricular apertures preventing blood flow into atria.
  4. Dub sound is produced during ventricular diastole when semilunar valves are closed, preventing backflow of blood from pulmonary trunk and systemic aorta into ventricles.

Question 8.
What is double circulation? What is its significance?
Answer:
(1) Double circulation : Movement of blood twice through the heart during one circulation cycle is called double circulation. Body → heart → lungs → heart → body is the course of double circulation.

(2) Significance of double circulation:
a. Double circulation is more effective type of circulation in which oxygenated and deoxygenated type of blood do not intermix.
b. The systemic circulation i.e. from body to heart and back to body while the pulmonary circulation i.e. from heart to lungs and back to heart circulate the blood uniformly.

(3) Coronary and hepatic portal circulation is also achieved due to double circulation.

Question 9.
Describe pulmonary and systemic circulation.
Answer:

  1. In human beings, there is double circulation because blood passes twice through the heart during one cardiac cycle.
  2. The blood follows two routes viz. pulmonary and systemic.
  3. Pulmonary circulation is circulation between heart and lungs. Systemic circulation is the circulation between the heart and body organs (except lungs).
  4. During pulmonary circulation, the blood passes from the right ventricle to the left atrium of the heart through lungs.
  5. The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk which carries it to lungs for oxygenation. The oxygenated blood from the lungs is brought to left atrium by two pairs of pulmonary veins.
  6. During systemic circulation, the blood from the left ventricle passes to the right atrium of heart through body organs.
  7. The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic aorta which carries it to all body organs except lungs. The deoxygenated blood from the body organs is brought to right atrium by superior and inferior venae cavae.

Question 10.
How is cardiac activity regulated?
Answer:

  1. Normal activities of the heart are auto regulated. The specialized muscles help in this regulation.
  2. The heart is said to be myogenic due to this ability.
  3. In the medulla oblongata of brain, there is cardiovascular centre,
  4. From this centre, sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves innervate the sinoatrial node.
  5. Sympathetic nerves secrete adrenaline and it stimulates and increases the heartbeat.
  6. Parasympathetic nerves secrete acetylcholine and it decreases the heart rate.
  7. Rate of heartbeat is controlled in response to inputs from various receptors like proprio-receptors.
  8. These receptors monitor the position of limbs and muscles. There are chemoreceptors which monitor chemical change in blood and baroreceptors that monitor the stretching of main arteries and veins.

Chemical control on heart rate:

  1. Hypoxia, acidosis, alkalosis cause decrease in cardiac activity.
  2. Hormones like epinephrine and nor epinephrine enhance the cardiac activity.
  3. Elevated blood level of K+ and Na+ decreases the cardiac activity.

Question 11.
What are the main features of respiratory surface?
Answer:
The respiratory surface, for the efficient gaseous exchange should have the following features:

  1. It should have a large surface area.
  2. It should be thin, highly vascular and permeable to allow exchange of gases.
  3. It should be moist.

Question 12.
What is the co-relationship between activeness of organism and complexity of transport system?
Answer:

  1. As the size of an organism increases, its surface area to volume ratio decreases. This means it has relatively less surface area available for substances to diffuse through.
  2. Large multicellular organisms therefore cannot rely on diffusion alone to supply their cells with Substances such as food and oxygen and to remove waste products. Large multicellular organisms require specialized transport system.
  3. In short for the organisms to become active, they must be having complex transport system to bring about their vital functions rapidly.

Question 13.
What are the granules in granulocytes?
Answer:

  1. Neutrophils : Granules . of neutrophils contain cationic proteins and other proteins that are used to kill bacteria, some enzymes to breakdown bacterial proteins, lysozymes to breakdown bacterial cell wall. etc.
  2. Eosinophils : Granules of eosinophil contains a unique toxic basic protein receptors that bind to IgE used to help in killing parasites.
  3. Basophils : Granules of basophils contain abundant histamine, heparin and platelet activating factor.

Question 14.
What is haemoglobin count in normal human beings? What is the function of haemoglobin?
Answer:

  1. The normal haemoglobin in adult male is 13-18 mg/100 ml of blood.
  2. In a normal adult female, it is about 11.5-16.5 mg/100 ml of blood.
  3. In anaemic individuals there is lesser amount of haemoglobin.
  4. Functions of haemoglobin is to transport oxygen from lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide from tissues of lungs.
  5. Haemoglobin acts as a buffer and maintains the blood pH.

Question 15.
Why has the heart-recipient to rely upon life-time supply of immunosuppressants?
Answer:
Person who has undergone heart transplant needs lifetime supply of immunosuppressants because in these persons organ rejection is a constant threat. Keeping away the immune system from attacking the transplanted organ requires constant supply of immunosuppressant drugs. These drugs help prevent immune system from attacking (“rejecting”) the donor organ. Typically, these drugs are taken for the life-time for maintaining transplanted organ.

Question 16.
Why is it difficult to hold one’s breath beyond a limit?
Answer:

  1. It is difficult to hold one’s breath beyond a limit because the pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood changes as one holds his breath.
  2. When the breath is held beyond a limit, the urge to breath becomes irresistible.
  3.  When the breath is held forever, body becomes starved of oxygen and person may fall unconscious and the instinct to breath would take over.

Question 17.
Why and when do the leucocytes perform diapedesis?
Answer:

  1. Diapedesis is the movement of leucocytes through the wall of blood capillaries into the tissue space.
  2. Leucocytes perform diapedesis as an important part of their reaction to tissue injury or infection.
  3. This process forms the part of the innate immune response, involving recruitment of non-specific leucocytes.
  4. Monocytes also use this process during their development into macrophages.
  5. Diapedesis helps leucocytes to perform their functions like phagocytosis, production of antibodies, secretion of inflammatory response chemicals, etc.

Question 18.
Why are obese persons prone to hypertension?
Answer:
(1) Being overweight or obese is a major cause of hypertension, accounting for 65% to 75% of the risk for human primary hypertension.

(2) Following factors play an important role in initiating obesity hypertension:

  1. Physical compression of the kidneys by fat.
  2. Activation of the renin-angiotensin – aldosterone system
  3. Increased sympathetic nervous system activity.
  4. Obesity means more body-surface area. In order to supply blood to these parts. Heart and blood vessels work more resulting into hypertensions.

(3) Blood pressure rises as body weight increases and therefore obese persons are prone to hypertension.

Question 19.
Why does the transplanted heart beats at higher rate than normal?
Answer:

  1. The transplanted heart beats at higher rate than normal (about 100 to 110 beats per minute) because the nerves leading to the heart are cut during the operation. These nerves stimulate the pacemaker i.e. Sinoatrial node.
  2. The new heart also responds more slowly to exercise and does not increase its rate as quickly as before.

Question 20.
Why do large animals cannot carry out respiration without the help of circulatory system?
Answer:

  1. Large animals have various organ systems which always work in a coordinated manner.
  2. These animals provide large respiratory surfaces (numerous alveoli) for the exchange of gases. But these respiratory gases must be carried to the cells of tissues which are away from the respiratory surfaces.
  3. To carry these gases to tissues, there is need of transport system. These gasses are transported from respiratory surfaces to the cells of tissues through blood as a transporting medium.
  4. Therefore, large animals cannot carry out respiration without the help of circulatory system.

Question 21.
What is immunity? Name its types.
Answer:

  1. Immunity is the general ability of a body to recognize, neutralize or destroy and eliminate foreign substances or resist a particular infection or disease.
  2. There are two basic types of immunity, viz. innate immunity and acquired immunity, Acquired immunity is further divided into four types, i.e. Natural acquired active immunity, Natural acquired passive immunity, Artificial acquired active passive immunity and Artificial acquired passive immunity.

Question 22.
Why does the platelet count decrease in dengue patient?
Answer:

  1. The causative pathogen of dengue is dengue virus which induces bone marrow suppression. Since in bone marrow blood cells are formed its suppression causes the deficiency of blood cells leading to low platelet count.
  2. The dengue virus also links with platelets in the blood when there is a virus-specific antibody present in the human body.
  3. When vascular endothelial cell which are infected with dengue virus gets combined with platelets, they tend to destroy platelets. This is one of the major causes of low platelet count in dengue fever.
  4. Even the antibodies that are produced after infection of the dengue virus also cause the destruction of platelets, thus lowering the platelet count.

Question 23.
Why does our immune system fail against pathogens like Trypanosoma cruzi and Plasmodium?
Answer:

  1. Microbes have evolved a diverse range of strategies to destroy the host immune system. The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and Plasmodium show similar such adaptations to disturb host defence mechanism.
  2. This parasite attacks host tissues including both peripheral and central lymphoid tissues.
  3. This causes systemic acute response in host body which the parasite tries to overcome. The parasite in fact weakens both innate and acquired immunity.
  4. It interferes with the antigen presenting function of dendritic cells via an action on hosts like lectin receptors. These receptors also induce suppression of CD4+ T cells responses. Therefore, our immune system fail against such pathogens.

Question 24.
What is the relation between immunity and organ transplantation?
Answer:

  1. Those who undergo an organ transplant face the possibility that their immune system will reject their new organ and that they will always be at a higher risk for infections.
  2. The immune system is able to recognize the difference between cells that belong to our body and those that do not by learning to identity protein markers (antigens) that are found on cell and infection surfaces.
  3. In people, the antigens or markers that identity their immune system are referred to as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA).
  4. Antigens that are recognized as unfriendly invaders stimulate an immune response to destroy them.
  5. Therefore, when organ transplantation is done, the immune responses are temporarily stalled. This helps in acceptance of the graft in the recipient’s body.

Question 25.
How do monocytes perform amoeboid movement and phagocytosis?
Answer:
Monocytes can perform phagocytosis. They do this by using intermediary or opsonising proteins such as antibodies or complement that coat the pathogen. They also bind to the microbe directly via pattern-recognition receptors that recognize pathogens. In this way they perform amoeboid movement and indulge in phagocytosis.

Question 26.
How do monocytes modify into macrophages?
Answer:
Monocytes upon having inflammation, selectively travel to the sites of inflammation. Here they produce inflammatory cytokines and contribute to local and systemic inflammation. They are highly infiltrative. They differentiate into inflammatory macrophages, which then remove PAMPs or pathogen-associated molecular patterns and cell debris.

Long Answer Questions

Question 1.
Describe the respiratory system of human.
Answer:
Respiratory system of human : Human respiratory system consists of nostrils, nasal chambers, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs, diaphragm and intercostal muscles.
1. Nostrils and nasal chambers:
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Biology Important Questions Chapter 8 Respiration and Circulation 17

  1. Oxygen rich air is taken in the body through the nostrils or external nares. They are external opening of the nose. Carbon dioxide and water vapour are also released out of the body through the same passage i.e. the nostrils.
  2. Internal nares open into the pharynx. The space between external and internal nares is knows as nasal chamber which is lined internally by mucous membrane and ciliated epithelium.
  3. Nasal chamber is divided into two parts by a cartilage called mesethmoid. Each part of these halves is further divided into three regions, viz. vestibule, respiratory part and sensory part.
  4. Vestibule is the anteriormost part of nasal chamber. In the vestibule fine hairs are present. They filter out the dust particles and prevent them from going inside.
  5. Respiratory part is the second region which is richly supplied with the capillaries. Air is made warm and moist in this region.
  6. Sensory part is lined by sensory epithelium. It is concerned with the detection of smell.

2. Pharynx:

  1. Pharynx is a short and vertical tube measuring about 12 cm in length. In pharynx the respiratory and food passages cross each other.
  2. The upper part of pharynx is known as naso-pharynx which conducts the air. The lower part is called laryngo-pharynx or oro¬pharynx which conducts food to the oesophagus.
  3. Tonsils that are made up of lymphatic tissue are present in the pharynx. They kill the bacteria by trapping them in the mucus.

3. Larynx:

  1. Larynx produces sound. In males it increases in size at puberty. This is termed as Adam’s apple. It is clearly seen in the neck region.
  2. From pharynx air enters the larynx. The opening through which it enters is called glottis. Glottis is guarded by a flap called epiglottis.
  3. Epiglottis prevents the entry of food particles into the trachea.
  4. TWo folds of elastic tissue called vocal cords are seen along the side of glottis. When they vibrate the sound is produced.

4. Trachea:

  1. The trachea or wind pipe is about 12 cm long and 2.5 cm wide.
  2. It is situated in front of the oesophagus and runs downwards in the thorax through the neck.
  3. The trachea is made up of fibrous muscular tissue wall which is supported by ‘C’-shaped cartilages. These cartilaginous rings are 16 to 20 in number.
  4. Internally the tracheal wall bears ciliated epithelium and mucous glands.
  5. When any foreign particle enters the trachea inadvertently. It is thrown out by coughing action.
  6. Mucous and ciliary action remove the dust particles and push them upwards to the larynx. These particles are then gulped and taken into the oesophagus.

5. Bronchi and bronchioles:

  1. At the distal end, the trachea divides into two bronchi (Singular – bronchus). Bronchi lie below the sternum or breast bone.
  2. Each bronchus has a complete ring of cartilage for support. The two bronchi enter into the lungs on either side.
  3. After entering into the lungs each bronchus divides into secondary and tertiary bronchi. The tertiary bronchi divide and re-divide to form minute bronchioles.
  4. Bronchioles do not have cartilages in their walls. Each bronchiole ends into a balloon like alveolus.
  5. Owing to the presence of alveoli the lungs become spongy and elastic.

6. Lungs:

  1. Lungs are principal respiratory organs located in the thoracic cavity.
  2. They are pinkish, soft, hollow, paired, elastic and distensible organs.
  3. Each lung is enclosed in a pleural sac which consists of two membranes, viz. an outer parietal and inner visceral.
  4. The parietal and visceral membranes enclose pleural cavity which is filled with pleural fluid. The pleural fluid lubricates and prevents friction when pleural membranes slide on each other.
  5. Lungs are highly vascular as they are richly supplied with blood capillaries.
  6. The left lung has two lobes while the right lung has three lobes. Each lobe has many bronchioles and alveolar sacs. The alveolar sacs are spherical and thin walled.
  7. Each alveolar sac contains about 20 alveoli. The alveoli appear as a bunch of grapes. The lobule in the lung thus consists of alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs and alveoli.
  8. Each alveolus has thin and elastic walls. It is about 0.1 mm in diameter. Alveoli are covered by network of capillaries from pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein. A network of pulmonary capillaries supply the alveolus.
  9. The alveolar wall is 0.0001 mm thick and made up of simple, non-ciliated, squamous epithelium. It has collagen and elastin fibres.
  10. Every lung has about 700 million alveoli. They increase the surface area of the lungs for exchange of gases.

Question 2.
Describe the process of respiration in man.
OR
Describe the mechanism of respiration in human beings.
Answer:
Respiration includes breathing, external respiration, internal respiration and cellular respiration.
A. Breathing : During breathing air comes in and goes out of the lungs. The rate of gaseous exchange is speeded up by breathing. Breathing involves two processes, viz. inspiration and expiration
1. Inspiration:

  1. Inspiration is the process in which the air containing oxygen is taken inside the lung.
  2. Inspiration is the active process which is possible due to intercostal muscles, sternum and diaphragm.
  3. During inspiration, intercostal muscles contract, ribs are pulled outward as a result of which the space in the thoracic cavity is increased.
  4. At the same time the lower part of the breast bone is raised and diaphragm flattens by contraction.
  5. The volume of thoracic cavity is thus increased.
  6. Pressure in the lungs decreases as the lungs expand and their volume is increased. Owing to this the atmospheric air enters inside the body through respiratory passage and reaches the lungs.

2. Expiration:

  1. Expiration is the process in which air containing carbon dioxide and water vapour is expelled out of the lungs.
  2. Expiration is a passive process.
  3. During expiration, intercostal muscles relax and ribs are pulled inwards.
  4. The diaphragm relaxes and becomes dome shaped. Intercostal muscles contract simultaneously and due to these events, the volume of the thoracic cavity is reduced.
  5. The pressure on the lungs is thus increased as a result of which they are compressed.
  6. Due to this, air rushes out of the lungs and is expelled out through the nose.
    Maharashtra Board Class 12 Biology Important Questions Chapter 8 Respiration and Circulation 18

B. External respiration : The process of external respiration takes place in the lungs where oxygen from the lungs diffuses into the blood capillaries present in the lung tissue. Similarly carbon dioxide from the blood capillaries diffuses out and enters in the alveoli in the lungs.

C. Internal respiration : Internal respiration takes place in the cells of the body. Oxygen brought by the blood is given to the cells and the tissues during internal respiration. Similarly carbon dioxide passes into the blood cells from the cells and tissues.

D. Cellular respiration : Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell, where oxygen is utilised to liberate energy in the form of ATP molecules.

Question 3.
Describe the respiratory disorders.
Answer:

  1. Following are some respiratory disorders : Emphysema is caused due to alveolar abnormalities. Chronic bronchitis results into coughing and shortness of breath.
  2. Viral and bacterial respiratory diseases. Acute bronchitis, sinusitis, laryngitis and pneumonia are some of the inflammatory diseases caused either due to virus or due to bacteria.
  3. Allergens like pollen or pet dander can cause asthma. In asthma constriction of bronchioles takes place causing periodic wheezing and difficulty in breathing.
  4. Occupational hazards cause respiratory diseases like silicosis or asbestosis. In these disorders there is inflammation fibrosis leading to lung damage.

Treatments of respiratory diseases:

  1. Bacterial diseases can be completely cured by specific antibiotics.
  2. Viral diseases need to be taken care of by using vaporizers and decongestants.
  3. Asthma needs treatment by inhalers and nebulizers.
  4. For occupational disorders proper mask and other protective gear is a must.
  5. Lethal diseases like pneumonia should be controlled by medication and rest.

Question 4.
How does transport of O2 and CO2 take place in man?
Answer:
1. Transport of O2:

  1. Only 3% of the total oxygen is transported in a dissolved state by the plasma.
  2. The remaining 97% is transported in the form of oxyhaemoglobin in the RBCs.
  3. Hemoglobin present is RBCs combines with oxygen to form oxyhaemoglobin.
    Hb + 4O2 → Hb (4O2)
  4. Oxyhaemoglobin is transported from lungs to the tissues where it readily dissociates to release O2.
  5. Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin in the alveoli and release of oxygen into the tissue cells depends upon the difference in partial pressure of O2 and CO2.

2. Transport of CO2: Carbon dioxide is transported by RBCs and plasma in three different forms.

  1. By plasma in solution form (7%) : About 7% of CO2 is transported in a dissolved form as carbonic acid (which can be broken down into CO2 and H2O).
    CO2 + H2O = H2CO3.
  2. By bicarbonate ions (70%) : Nearly 70% of carbon dioxide is transported in the form of sodium bicarbonate/potassium bicarbonate in the plasma.
  3. RBCs contains an enzyme, carbonic anhydrase. In the presence of this enzyme CO2 combines with water to form carbonic acid.
  4. Carbonic anhydrase also brings about dissociation of carbonic acid immediately tending to large accumulation of HCO3- ions inside the RBCs.
    CO2 + H2O Carbonic anhydrese H2CO2 Carbonic anhydrase H+ + HCO3-
  5. The bicarbonate ions moves out of RBCs and this would bring about imbalance of the charge inside the RBCs.
  6. To maintain the ionic balance, Cl ions diffuse from plasma into the RBCs. This movement of chloride ions is known as chloride shift or Hamburger’s phenomenon.
  7. HCO3- ions from the plasma then joins to Na+/K+ forming NaHCO3/KHCO3 (to maintain PH of blood).
    HCO3- + Na+ → NaHCO3 Sodium bicarbonate
  8. H+ is taken up by haemoglobin to form Reduced Hb (HHb).
  9. At the level of the lungs due to the low partial pressure of the alveolar air, hydrogen ion and bicarbonate ions recombine to form carbonic acid and in presence of carbonic anhydrase it again yields carbon dioxide and water.
    H+ + HCO3- Carbonic anhydrase H2CO3 Carbonic anhydrase CO2 + H2O.

3. By red blood cells (23%):

  1. Carbon dioxide binds with the amino group of the haemoglobin and form a loosely bound compound carbaminohaemoglobin Hb + CO2 = HbCO2
  2. Due to low partial pressure of CO2 at alveolus carbaminohaemoglobin decomposes releasing the carbon dioxide.

Question 5.
Describe different types of leucocytes.
OR
Describe five types of leucocytes, with the help of diagrams. Add a note on their functions.
Answer:
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Biology Important Questions Chapter 8 Respiration and Circulation 19

  1. Leucocytes or White Blood Corpuscles (WBCs) are colourless, nucleated, amoeboid and phagocytic cells.
  2. Their size ranges between 8 to 15 pm. Total WBC count is 5000 to 9000 WBCs/cu mm of blood. The average life span of a WBC is about 3 to 4 days.
  3. They are formed by leucopoiesis in red bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, thymus and Payer’s patches, whereas the dead WBCs are destroyed by phagocytosis in blood, liver and lymph nodes.
  4. Leucocytes are mainly divided into two types, viz., granulocytes and agranulocytes.
  5. Granulocytes : Granulocytes are cells with granular cytoplasm and lobed nucleus. Based on their staining properties and shape of nucleus, they are of three types, viz. neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils.

(I) Neutrophils:

  1. In neutrophils, the cytoplasmic granules take up neutral stains.
  2. Their nucleus is three to five lobed.
  3. It may undergo changes in structure hence they are called polymorphonuclear leucocytes or polymorphs.
  4. Neutrophils are about 70% of total WBCs.
  5. They are phagocytic in function and engulf microorganisms.

(II) Eosinophils or acidophils:

  1. Cytoplasmic granules of eosinophils take up acidic dyes such as eosin. They have bilobed nucleus.
  2. Eosinophils are about 3% of total WBCs.
  3. They are non-phagocytic in nature.
  4. Their number increases (i.e. eosinophilia) during allergic conditions.
  5. They have antihistamine property.

(III) Basophils:

  1. The cytoplasmic granules of basophils take up basic stains such as methylene blue.
  2. They have twisted nucleus.
  3. In size, they are smallest and constitute about 0.5% of total WBCs.
  4. They too are non-phagocytic.
  5. Their function is to release heparin which acts as an anticoagulant and histamine that is involved in inflammatory and allergic reaction.

Agranulocytes : There are two types of agranulocytes, viz. monocytes and lymphocytes. Agranulocytes do not show cytoplasmic granules and their nucleus is not lobed. They are of two types, viz. lymphocytes and monocytes.
(I) Lymphocytes:

  1. Agranulocytes with a large round nucleus are called lymphocyte.
  2. They are about 30% of total WBCs.
  3. Agranulocytes are responsible for immune response of the body by producing antibodies.

(II) Monocytes:

  1. Largest of all WBCs having large kidney shaped nucleus are monocytes. They are about 5% of total WBCs.
  2. They are phagocytic in function.
  3. They can differentiate into macrophages for engulfing microorganisms and removing cell debris. Hence they are also called scavengers.
  4. At the site of infections they are seen in more enlarged form.

Question 6.
Give an account of external features of the human heart.
Answer:
(1) The heart is hollow, muscular, conical organ about the size of one’s fist with broad base and narrow apex tilted towards left measuring about 12 cm in length. 9 cm in breadth and weighing about 250 to 300 grams.

(2) The human heart has four chambers, two atria which are superior, small, thin walled receiving chambers and two ventricles which are inferior, large, thick walled, distributing chambers.
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Biology Important Questions Chapter 8 Respiration and Circulation 20

(3) Externally there is a transverse groove between the atria and the ventricles which is known as atrioventricular groove or coronary sulcus.

(4) Between the right and left ventricles there is interventricular sulcus (pi. sulci). In these sulci the coronary arteries and coronary veins are present.

(5) Oxygenated blood to the heart is supplied by coronary arteries while coronary veins collect deoxygenated blood from the heart. The coronary veins join to form coronary sinus which opens into the right atrium.

(6) Right atrium is larger in size than the left atrium. Deoxygenated blood from all over the body is brought through superior vena cava and inferior vena cava and poured into right atrium. Oxygenated blood from lungs is brought to heart by two pairs of pulmonary veins which carry it to the left atrium.

(7) Pulmonary trunk is seen arising from the right ventricle, which carries deoxygenated blood to lungs. While systemic aorta arises from the left ventricle and carries oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.

(8) The pulmonary trunk and systemic aorta are connected by ligamentum arteriosum that represents remnant of ductus arteriosus of foetus.

Question 7.
With the help of well labelled diagram describe the internal structure of human heart.
OR
Sketch and label internal view of heart.
Answer:
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Biology Important Questions Chapter 8 Respiration and Circulation 21
The heart shows four chambers with two atria and two ventricles.

I. Atria:
1. Right atrium:

  1. There are two atria which are separated from each other by interatrial septum. They are thin walled receiving chambers on the upper side.
  2. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from upper part of body through superior vena cava and from the lower part of the body by inferior vena cava. In the right atrium opens the coronary sinus.
  3. Eustachian valve guards the opening of inferior vena cava while opening of coronary sinus is guarded by Thebesian valve.
  4. On the right side of interatrial septum is seen an oval depression called the fossa ovalis. In the interatrial septum of the foetus there is an oval opening called foramen ovale. Fossa ovalis is remnant of this foramen ovale.
  5. Right atrium opens into the right ventricle.

2. Left atrium:

  1. The oxygenated blood from the lungs is brought into left atrium through four openings of pulmonary veins.
  2. Left atrium opens into the left ventricle.

II. Ventricles:

  1. There are two ventricles which are separated from each other by interventricular septum. They are two thick walled distributing chambers situated on the lower side of the heart.
  2. Left ventricle has thickest wall as it pumps blood to all parts of the body.
  3. The inner surface of the ventricle is thrown into a series of irregular muscular ridges called columnae carnae or trabeculae carnae.
  4. Each atrium opens into the ventricle of its side through atrioventricular aperture. These apertures are guarded by valves made up of connective tissue. The right atrioventricular valve has three flaps hence called tricuspid valve. Left atrioventricular valve has two flaps hence called bicuspid valve or mitral valve.
  5. Bicuspid and tricuspid valves are attached to papillary muscles of ventricles by chordae tendinae. The chordae tendinae prevent the valves from turning back into the atria during the contraction of ventricles.
  6. From the right ventricle arises pulmonary trunk which carries deoxygenated blood to lungs for oxygenation.
  7. From the left ventricle arise systemic aorta which distributes oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.
  8. Pulmonary aorta and systemic aorta has three semilunar valves at the base which prevent backward flow of blood during ventricular diastole.

Question 8.
With the help of suitable diagram, describe the conducting system of human heart.
Answer:
(1) The human heart is myogenic.

(2) Conducting system of the heart consists of sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, bundles of His and Purkinje’s fibre system.

(3) The pacemaker of the heart is sinoatrial node because here the heartbeat originates. Pacemaker has power of generation of wave of contraction. This is modified cardiac tissue, also called a nodal tissue.

(4) SA node is situated in the wall of right atrium near the opening of superior vena cava. The wave of contraction generated by SA node is conducted by cardiac muscle fibres to both the atria. This results in contraction resulting into atrial systole.
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Biology Important Questions Chapter 8 Respiration and Circulation 22

(5) The atrioventricular node (AV node) is located in the wall of right atrium near the opening of coronary sinus. AV node receives the wave of contraction generated by SA node through intermodal pathways.

(6) Bundle of His arises from AV node and divides into right and left bundle branches. These are located in the interventricular septum.

(7) The bundle branches further form Purkinje fibres which penetrate into myocardium of ventricles.

(8) The bundle of His and Purkinje fibres conduct the wave of contraction from AV node to myocardium of ventricles causing ventricular systole.

Maharashtra Board Class 12 Biology Important Questions Chapter 8 Respiration and Circulation

Question 9.
Describe the detail cardiac cycle.
OR
Explain the working of heart.
Answer:
(1) The working of heart or cardiac cycle is formed by atrial systole, ventricular systole and joint diastole. It takes place in 0.8 second.

(2) During atrial systole from right atrium, the deoxygenated blood is poured into right ventricle through atrioventricular aperture. Similarly, from left atrium, the oxygenated blood enters the left ventricle through atrioventricular aperture. This entire atrial systole lasts for 0.1 second.

(3) After auricular systole follows the ventricular systole. During ventricular systole, the deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle enters the pulmonary trunk, which carries blood to lungs for oxygenation. At the same time, the oxygenated blood from the left ventricle enters the aorta which is then supplied to all parts of the body. The ventricular systole lasts for 0.3 second.

(4) Joint diastole or complete cardiac diastole is the phase taking place after the systole, when the entire heart undergoes relaxation, for 0.4 second.

(5) During joint diastole, the right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body through superior vena cava, inferior vena cava and coronary sinus. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through two pairs of pulmonary veins.

Question 10.
What is blood clotting? How and when does it occur?
Answer:

  1. Blood clotting is coagulation of blood in order to stop the blood flow and resuting blood loss at the time of injury.
  2. When the blood vessel is intact, blood does not clot due to the presence of active anticoagulants like heparin and antithrombin. But when there is an injury causing rupture of a blood vessel, bleeding starts.
  3. This bleeding is stopped by the process of blood clotting during which liquid blood is converted into semisolid jelly.

The events occurring during blood clotting are as follows:

  1. Release of thromboplastin from thrombocytes and injured tissue.
  2. Formation of enzyme prothrombinase in the blood due to initiation of thromboplastin.
  3. Conversion of inactive prothrombin into active thrombin by prothrombinase in the presence of Ca ions.
  4. Conversion of soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin by thrombin.
  5. Formation of a clot by enmeshing platelets, other blood cells and plasma in the fibrin fibres enmesh.

These reactions occur in 2 to 8 minutes. Therefore, clotting time is said to be 2 to 8 minutes.

Question 11.
What is repolarization and depolarization ?
Answer:
Repolarization is a stage of an action potential in which the cell experiences a reduction of voltage due to the efflux of potassium (K+) ions along its electrochemical gradient. This phase occurs after the cell reaches its highest voltage from depolarization.

Depolarization occurs in the four chambers of the heart : both atria first and then both ventricles. The SA node sends the depolarization wave to the atrioventricular (AV) node which-with about a 100 minutes delay to let the atria finish contracting-then causes contraction in both ventricles, seen in the QRS wave.

Question 12.
What is the correlation between depolarization and repolarization as well as contraction and relaxation of the heart?
Answer:
Depolarization and Repolarization:

  1. When cardiac cells are at rest, they are polarized, meaning no electrical activity takes place.
  2. The cell membrane of the cardiac muscle cell separates different concentrations of ions, such as sodium, potassium, and calcium. This is called the resting potential.
  3. Electrical impulses are generated by specialized cardiac cells automatically.
  4. Once an electrical cell generates an electrical impulse, this electrical impulse causes the ions to cross the cell membrane and causes the action potential, also called depolarization.
  5. The movement of ions across the cell membrane through sodium, potassium and calcium channels, is the drive that causes contraction of the cardiac cells/muscle.
  6. Depolarization with corresponding contraction of myocardial muscle moves as a wave through the heart. Depolarization thus corresponds with contraction of heart.
  7. Repolarization is the return of the ions to their previous resting state, which corresponds with relaxation of the myocardial muscle. Repolarization thus corresponds with relaxation of heart.
  8. Depolarization and repolarization are electrical activities which cause muscular activity.
  9. The electrical changes in the myocardial cell during the depolarization – repolarization cycle is detected on ECG.

Maharashtra Board Class 12 Biology Important Questions Chapter 8 Respiration and Circulation

Question 13.
How are the signals detected and amplified by electrocardiograph?
Answer:

  1. The action potential created by contractions of the heart wall spreads electrical currents from the heart throughout the body.
  2. The spreading electrical currents create different potentials at points in the body, which can be sensed by electrodes placed on the skin.
  3. The electrodes are made of metals and salts and they act as biological transducers.
  4. Ten electrodes are attached to different points on the body while taking ECG.
  5. There Eire three main leads responsible for measuring the electrical potential difference between arms and legs.
  6. Electrical potential difference between electrodes is recorded.
  7. As in all ECG lead measurements, the electrode connected to the right leg is considered the ground node.
  8. These ECG signals are acquired using a biopotential amplifier and then displayed using instrumentation software. This is recorded on ECG machine or electrocardiograph. The recorded ECG is anailysed by an expert.

Maharashtra State Board 12th Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics

Question 1.
Define the term energy.
Answer:
The energy of a system is defined as its capacity to perform the work. A system with higher energy can perform more work.

Question 2.
What are different forms of energy ?
Answer:
The energy of a system has many different forms as follows :

  • Kinetic energy which arises due to motion, like rotational, vibrational and translational.
  • Potential energy which arises due to position and state of a matter. If depends upon the temperature of the system.
  • Heat energy (or thermal energy) which is transferred from the hotter body to the colder body.
  • Radiant energy which is associated with electro-magnetic or light radiation.
  • Electrical energy produced in the galvanic cells.
  • Chemical energy stored in chemical substances.

All these various forms of energy can be converted from one form to another without any loss.

Question 3.
Explain the concept of interconversion of different forms of energy.
Answer:
There are various forms of energy like kinetic energy, potential energy, heat or thermal energy, radiant energy, electrical energy and chemical energy.

All these forms of energy are interconvertible. For example, a body at very high level possesses higher potential energy. When it falls down, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Falling of water from high level is used to drive turbines converting potential energy into kinetic energy which is further converted into electrical energy.

In galvanic cells, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
In electrolytic cells, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy. But during interconversion, the energy can neither be created nor destroyed, and there is a conservation of energy.

In this, ΔT = 0.

Features :

  • In this process, the temperature at initial state, final state and throughout the process remains constant.
  • In this process, system exchanges heat energy with its surroundings to maintain constant temperature. E.g., in case of exothermic process liberated heat is given to the surroundings and in case of endothermic process heat is absorbed from the surroundings so that temperature of the system remains constant and ΔT = 0.
  • Isothermal process is carried out with a closed system.
  • Internal energy (U) of the system remains constant, hence, Δ U = 0.
  • In this process, pressure and volume of a gaseous system change.

Features :

  • An adiabatic process is carried out in an isolated system.
  • In this process, temperature and internal energy of a system change, ΔT ≠ 0, Δ U ≠ 0.
  • During expansion, temperature and energy decrease and during compression, temperature and energy increase.
  • If the process is exothermic, the temperature rises and if the process is endothermic the temperature decreases in the adiabatic process.

  • This is a hypothetical process.
  • Driving force is infinitesimally greater than the opposing force throughout the change.
  • The process can be reversed at any point by making infinitesimal changes in the conditions.
  • The process takes place infinitesimally slowly involving infinite number of steps.
  • At the end of every step of the process, the system attains mechanical equilibrium, hence, throughout the process, the system exists in temperature-pressure equilibrium with its surroundings.
  • In this process, maximum work is obtained.
  • Temperature remains constant throughout the isothermal reversible process.

(6) Irreversible process : it is defined as the unidirectional process which proceeds in a definite direction and cannot be reversed at any stage and in which driving force and opposing force differ in a large magnitude. It is also called a spontaneous process.

Question 20.
Show that pressure times volume (PV) is equal to work.
Answer:
The work is defined as the energy by which a body is displaced through a distance d by applying a force f.
∴ W = f × d
If area is A = d2 and volume V = d3 then,
PV = \(\frac{f}{A}\) × d3 = \(\frac{f}{d^{2}}\) × d3 = f × d = W
∴ The term PV represents the pressure-volume work.

Answer:
(A ) Expansion : Consider an ideal cylinder fitted with a piston and filled with H2O2(l).
2H2O2(l) → 2H2O(l) + O2(l)
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 4
Fig. 4.5 : Decomposition of H2O2
The oxygen gas produced pushes the piston upwards lifting the mass. Thus, the system performs the work on the surroundings and loses energy by expansion. In this work is done by the system.

(B) Compression : Consider an ideal cylinder fitted with a piston and containing gaseous NH3(g) and HCl(g).
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 5
Fig. 4.6 : Reaction between NH3(g) and HCl(g)

(9) Carbon monoxide expands isothermally and reversibly at 300 K doing 4.754 kJ of work. If the initial volume changes from 10 dm3 to 20 dm3, calculate the number of moles of carbon monoxide. (R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1)
Solution :
Wmax = -2.303 nRT log10 \(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}\)
Wmax = Maximum work done = -4.754 kJ
= -4754 J, n = Number of moles = ?,
= 8.314 JK-1 mol-1
T = 300 K, V1 = Initial volume of carbon monoxide = 10 dm3
V2 = Final volume of carbon monoxide = 20 dm3
∴ -4754 = 22.303 × n × 8.314 × 300 log10 \(\frac {20}{10}\)
∴ -4754 = – 2.303 × n × 8.314 × 300 × log102
∴ – 4754 = – 2.303 × n × 8.314 × 300 × 0.3010
∴ n = \(\frac{-4754}{-2.303 \times 8.314 \times 300 \times 0.3010}\)
= 2.75 mol
Ans. Number of mol = 2.75 mol

∴ W = -Pex × ΔV
= -0.2 × 3
= -0.6 dm3 bar
= -0.6 × 100 J
= -60 J

(b) For isothermal reversible process,
Wmax = 2.303 nRT log10 \(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}\)
Now, V2 = V1 + ΔV = 13 + 3 = 16 dm3
Wmax = – 2.303 × 0.3 × 8.314 × 320 log10 \(\frac {16}{13}\)
= -165.4 J

(c) In vacuum, Pex = 0

Question 27.
Define and explain the term internal energy.
Answer:
Internal energy : It is defined as the total energy constituting potential energy and kinetic energy of the molecules present in the system.
Explanation :

  • The internal energy of a system is a state function and thermodynamic function. It is denoted by U.
  • Its value depends on the state of a system.
  • The change in internal energy (Δ U) depends only on the initial state and the final state of the system.
    Δ U = U2 – U1
  • It is an extensive property of the system.
  • It has same unit as heat and work.
  • Total internal energy U of the system is,
    Total energy = Potential energy + Kinetic energy

Question 28.
Explain the formulation of first law of thermodynamics.
OR
Deduce mathematical equation for the first law of thermodynamics. Justify its expression.
Answer:
(1) The first law of thermodynamics is based on the principle of conservation of energy.
(2) If Q is the heat absorbed by the system and if W is the work done by surroundings on the system then the internal energy of the system will increase by Δ U.
(3) From the conservation of energy we can write,
Increase in internal energy of the system = Quantity of heat absorbed by the system + Work done on the system
∴ ΔU = Q + W
(4) For an infinitesimal change,
dU = dQ + dW

Question 29.
Deduce the mathematical expression of first law of thermodynamics for the following processes :
(1) Isothermal process
(2) Isobaric process
(3) Isochoric process
(4) Adiabatic process.
Answer:
(1) Isothermal process :This is a process which is carried out at constant temperature. Since internal energy, U of the system depends on temperature there is no change in the internal energy U of the system. Hence ΔU = 0.
By first law of thermodynamics,
ΔU = Q +W
∴ 0 = Q + W
∴ Q = -W or W = -Q.

  • Hence in expansion, the heat absorbed by the system is entirely converted into work on the surroundings.
  • In compression, the work done on the system is converted into heat which is transferred to the surroundings by the system, keeping temperature constant.

(2) Isobaric process : In this, throughout the process pressure remains constant. Hence the system performs the work of expansion due to volume change ΔV.
W= -Pext × ΔV
Let QP be the heat absorbed by the system at constant pressure.
By first law of thermodynamics,
ΔU = QP + W.
∴ ΔU = QP – PexΔV
or QP = ΔU + PexΔV
In this process, the heat absorbed QP is used to increase the internal energy (ΔU) of the system.

(3) Isochoric process : In this process the volume of the system remains constant. Hence ΔV = 0. Therefore, the system does not perform mechanical work.
∴ W = -PΔV = -P × (0) = 0
Let QV be the heat absorbed at constant volume.
By first law of thermodynamics,
ΔU = Q + W
∴ ΔU = QV.

(4) Adiabatic process : In this process, the system does not exchange heat, Q with its surroundings.
∴ Q = 0.
Since by first law of thermodynamics,
ΔU = Q + W
∴ ΔU = Wad.
Hence,
(i) the increase in internal energy ΔU is due to the work done on the system by surroundings. This results in increase in energy and temperature of the system.
(ii) if the work is done by the system on surroundings, like expansion, then there is a decrease in internal energy (-ΔU) and temperature of the system decreases.

Question 30.
What are the IUPAC sign conventions of Q, U and W?
Answer:
In thermodynamics, the sign conventions are adopted according to IUPAC convention, based on acquisition of energy.
(i) Heat absorbed = +Q
Heat evolved = -Q
(ii) Internal energy change :
Increase in energy = + Δ U
Decrease in energy = – Δ U
(iii) Work done by the system = – W
Work done on the system = + W

Question 31.
Define and explain the term enthalpy.
OR
What is meant by enthalpy of a system ?
Answer:
Enthalpy (H) : It is defined as the total energy of a system consisting of internal energy (U) and pressure – volume (P × V) type of energy, i.e. enthalpy represents the sum of internal energy U and product PV energy. It is denoted by H and is represented as
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 10

Explanation :

  • Enthalpy represents total heat content of the system.
  • Enthalpy is a thermodynamic state function.
  • Enthalpy is an extensive property.
  • The absorption of heat by a system increases its enthalpy. Hence enthalpy is called heat content of the system.

Question 32.
Derive the expression, ΔH = ΔU + PΔV.
Answer:
Enthalpy (H) of a system is defined as
H = U + PV
where U is internal energy
P is pressure and V is volume.
Consider a process in which a state of a system changes from an initial state A to a final state B. Let H1, U1, P1, V1 and H2, U2, P2, V2 be the state functions of the system in initial and final states.
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 11
Then,
H1 = U1 + P2V2 and H2 = U2 + P2V2
The enthalpy change ΔH is given by,
ΔH = H2 – H1
= (U2 + P2V2) – (U1 + P1V1)
= (U2 – U1) + (P2V2 – P1V1)
= ΔU + ΔPV
where ΔU = U2 – U1
At constant pressure, P1 = P2 = P
∴ P2V2 – P1V1 = PV2 – PV1
= P(V2 – V1)
= P × ΔV
Hence, ΔH = ΔU + PΔV
This is a relation for enthalpy change.

Question 33.
Show that the heat absorbed at constant pressure is equal to the change in enthalpy of the system.
OR
Why is enthalpy called heat content of the system?
Answer:
By the first law of thermodynamics,
ΔU = Q + W
where ΔU is the change in internal energy
Q is heat supplied to the system
W is the work obtained.
∴ Q = ΔU – W
If QP is the heat absorbed at constant pressure by the system, so that the volume changes by Δ V against constant pressure P then,
W = -PΔV
∴ QP = ΔU – (-PΔV)
∴ QP = ΔU + PΔV ……… (1)
If ΔH is the enthalpy change for the system, then
ΔH = ΔU + PΔV ……….. (2)
By comparing above equations, (1) and (2), we can write, QP = ΔH
Hence heat absorbed at constant pressure is equal to the enthalpy change for the system.
Since by increase in enthalpy heat content of the system increases, enthalpy is also called as the heat content of the system.

Question 34.
What are the conditions under which ΔH = ΔU?
Answer:

  1. For any thermodynamic process or a chemical reaction at constant volume, Δ V = 0.
  2. Since ΔH = ΔU + PΔV, at constant volume ΔH = ΔU.
  3. In the reactions, involving only solids and liquids, Δ V is negligibly small, hence ΔH = ΔH.
  4. In a chemical reaction, in which number of moles of gaseous reactants and gaseous products are equal, then change in number of moles, Δ n = n2 – n1 = 0. Since ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT, as Δn = 0, ΔH = ΔU.

n = Number of moles of helium = 5 moles
R = Gas constant = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1
T = 300 K
P1 = Initial pressure = 40 × 10-5 Nm-2
P2 = Final pressure = 4 × 10-5 Nm-2
∴ Wmax = -2.303 × 5 × 8.314 × 300 × log \(\frac {40}{4}\)
= – 2.303 × 5 × 8.314 × 300 × log 10

∴ Δn = (n2)gaseous products – (n1)gaseous reactants
= 1 – (1 + \(\frac {1}{2}\))
= -0.5 mol
Since there is decrease in number of moles of gases, there will be compression, hence, the work will be done on the system by the surroundings.

∴ Change in number of moles,
Δn = (n2)gaseous products – (n1)gaseous reactants
= (2 + 4) – 0
= 6 mol
Since there is an increase in number of moles of gases, work of expansion is done by the system on the surroundings.

ΔH = ? Δ U = ? for given ethane.
Number of moles of C2H6 = n = \(\frac{m \mathrm{~kg}}{M \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}\)
= \(\frac{12 \times 10^{-3}}{30 \times 10^{-3}}\)
= 0.4 mol
For the given reaction,
C2H6(g) + \(\frac {7}{2}\)O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)
Δn = (n2)gaseous products – (n1)gaseous reactants
= 2 – (1 + \(\frac {7}{2}\)) = -2.5 mol
For 1 mol of C2H6, Δn = -2.5 mol

= -1 mol
Since there is a decrease in number of moles, the work is of compression on the system.
W = -ΔnRT
= – (-1) × 8.314 × 300
= + 2494 J
= + 2.494 kJ
For 1 mol of C2H6 ΔH = -900 kJ
∴ For 0.4 mol of C2H6, ΔH= – 900 × 0.4
= – 360 kJ
ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT
ΔU = ΔH – ΔnRT
= -360 – (-1) × 8.314 × 300× 10-3
= – 360 + 2.494
= – 357.506 kJ

H2O(l) → H2O(g)
5.556 mol 5.556 mol
Change in number of moles = Δn = 5.556 – 0
= 5.556 mol
For evaporation of 1 mol H2O, ΔH = 80 kJ
For 5.556 mol H2O, ΔH= 80 × 5.556 = 444.5 kJ
In this reaction, the work will be of expansion.
W= -ΔnRT

Enthalpy of freezing (ΔfreezH) : The enthalpy change that accompanies the solidification of one mole of a liquid into solid at constant temperature and pressure is called enthalpy of freezing.
For example,
\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})} \stackrel{1 \mathrm{~atm}, 273 \mathrm{~K}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{s})}\)
ΔfreezH = -6.01 kJ mol-1
This equation describes that when one mole of water freezes (solidifies) at 0 °C (273 K) and 1 atmosphere, 6.01 kJ of heat will be released to the surroundings.

Question 39.
Define and explain the following :
(A) Enthalpy of vaporisation.
(B) Enthalpy of sublimation.
Answer:
(A) Enthalpy of vaporisation (ΔvapH) : The enthalpy change that accompanies the vaporisation of one mole of a liquid at constant temperature and pressure is called heat of vaporisation or evaporation. For example,
\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})} \stackrel{1 \mathrm{~atm}, 373 \mathrm{~K}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{g})}\)
ΔvapH = +40.7 kJ mol-1
This equation describes that when one mole of water is evaporated at 100 °C (373 K) and 1 atmosphere, 40.7 kJ of heat will be absorbed.

(B) Enthalpy of sublimation (ΔsubH) : The enthalpy change or the amount of heat absorbed that accompanies the sublimation of one mole of a solid directly into its vapour at constant temperature and pressure is called enthalpy of sublimation.
For example,
\(\mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~s})} \stackrel{1 \mathrm{~atm}, 195 \mathrm{~K}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\)
ΔsubH = 25.2 kJ mol-1
This equation describes that when 1 mole of dry solid carbon dioxide, CO2(s) sublimes forming gaseous CO2(g), 25.2 kJ of heat will be absorbed.

Question 40.
Explain process of sublimation and enthalpy of sublimation ?
OR
How is enthalpy of sublimation related to enthalpy of fusion and enthalpy of vaporisation ?
Answer:
(1) The sublimation involves the conversion of a solid into vapour at constant temperature and pressure. For example,
H2O(s) → H2O(g), ΔsubH = 51.08 kJ mol-1 at 0°C.
(2) This conversion takes place in two steps, first melting of solid into liquid and second vaporisation of the liquid.
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 12
Hence we can write,
ΔsubH = ΔfusH + ΔvapH

Question 41.
Arrange the following in order of increasing enthalpy :
H2O(s), H2O(g), H2O(l)
Answer:
The increasing order of enthalpy of the given substance will be,
HH2O(g), < HH2O(l), < HH2O(s)
This is because the conversion of H2O(s) to H2O(l) and further to H2O(g) involves absorption of heat.

Question 42.
Define and explain :
(A) Enthalpy of atomisation
(B) Enthalpy of ionisation.
Answer:
(A) Enthalpy of atomisation (ΔatoH) : The enthalpy change or amount of heat absorbed accompanying the dissociation of the molecules in one mole of a gaseous substance into free gaseous atoms at constant temperature and pressure is called enthalpy of atomisation.
For example,
Cl2(g) → 2Cl(g), ΔatoH = 242 kJ mol-1
CH4(g) → C(g) + 4H(g), ΔatoH = 1660 kJ mol-1.

(B) Enthalpy of ionisation (ΔionH) : The enthalpy change or amount of heat absorbed accompanying the removal of one electron from each atom or ion in one mole of gaseous atoms or ions is called enthalpy of ionisation.
For example,
Na(g) → Na+(g) + e ΔionH = 494 kJ mol-1
This equation describes that when one mole of gaseous sodium atoms, Na(g) are ionised forming gaseous ions, Na+(g), the energy required is 494 kJ.

Question 43.
Define and explain electron gain enthalpy.
Answer:
Electron gain enthalpy (ΔegH) : It is defined as the enthalpy change, when mole of gaseous atoms of an element accept electrons to form gaseous ion.
E.g. Cl(g) + e → Cl(g) ΔegH = – 349 kJ mol-1.
It is the reverse of ionisation process.

Question 44.
Define enthalpy of solution.
Answer:
Enthalpy of solution : It is defined as the enthalpy change in a process when one mole of a substance is dissolved in specified amount of a solvent.
NaCl(s) + aq ⇌ NaCl(aq) ΔsolnH = 4 kJ mol-1

Question 45.
Define enthalpy of solution at infinite dilution.
Answer:
Enthalpy of solution (ΔsolnH) : It is defined as the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is dissolved in a large excess of a solvent, so that further dilution will not change the enthalpy at constant temperature and pressure.
For example,
HCl(g) + aq → HCl(aq) ΔsolnH
= -75.14 kJ mol-1

Question 46.
Explain the enthalpy of solution of an ionic compound.
Answer:
An ionic compound dissolves in a polar solvent like water in two steps as follows :
Step-I : The ions are separated from the molecule involving crystal lattice enthalpy ΔLH.
\(\mathrm{MX}_{(\mathrm{s})} \rightarrow \mathrm{M}_{(\mathrm{g})}^{+}+\mathrm{X}_{(\mathrm{g})}^{-} \quad \Delta_{\mathrm{L}} H\)
ΔLH is always positive.

Step-II : The gaseous ions are hydrated with water molecules involving hydration energy, ΔhydH.
\(\mathbf{M}_{(\mathrm{g})}^{+}\) + xH2O(l) → [M(H2O)x]+
\(\mathrm{X}_{(\mathrm{g})}^{-}\) + yH2O(l) → [X(H2O)y]
ΔhydH is always negative.
The enthalpy change ΔsolnH of solution is given by,
ΔsolnH = ΔLH + ΔhydH
For example, consider enthalpy of solution of NaCl(s).
ΔLHNaCl = 790 kJ mol-1
ΔhydHNaCl = -786 kJ mol-1
Hence enthalpy change for solution of NaCl(s) is,
ΔsolnH = ΔLHNaCl + ΔhydHNaCl
= 790 + (-786)
= + 4 kJ mol-1
Therefore dissolution of NaCl in water is an endothermic process.

Question 48.
What is thermochemistry ? Explain.
Answer:
Thermochemistry : Thermodynamic study of heat changes or enthalpy changes during the chemical reactions is called thermochemistry.
Consider a reaction, Reactants → Products
The heat changes ΔH for the reaction may be represented as,
ΔHreaction = Σ Hproducts – Σ Hreactants
where H represents enthalpy.
The energy released or absorbed during a chemical change appears in the form of heat energy.

Question 49.
Define and explain the term, enthalpy or heat of reaction.
Answer:
Enthalpy or heat of reaction : The enthalpy of a chemical reaction is the difference between the sum of the enthalpies of products and that of the reactants with every substance in a definite physical state and in the amounts (moles) represented by the coefficients in the balanced equation.
Explanation : Consider the following general reaction,
aA + bB → cC + dD
The heat of the reaction ΔH is the difference in sum of enthalpies of products and sum of enthalpies of reactants.
∴ ΔH = Σ Hproducts – Σ Hreactants
= [cHC + dHD] – [aHA + bHB]
= ΣPH – ΣRZ
where H represents enthalpy of the substance.
For endothermic reaction, ΔH is positive, (ΔH > 0).
For exothermic reaction, ΔH is negative, (ΔH < 0).

Question 50.
Explain the sign convention used for ΔH.
Answer:
The change in enthalpy or heat of reaction ΔH is given by,
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 18
(i) If the sum of enthalpies of products, ΣH and reactants, ΣRH are equal then ΔH for the reaction is zero, (ΔH = 0).
i. e. ΣPH = ΣRH
∴ ΔH = ΣPH – ΣRH = 0
(ii) If the sum of enthalpies of products ΣPH is greater than the sum of enthalpies of reactants ΣRH, then ΔH is positive, (ΔH > 0). Since such reactions take place with the absorption of heat from surroundings, they are called endothermic reactions.
∴ ΣHproducts > ΣHreactants
∴ ΔH > 0
(iii) If the sum of enthalpies of products ΣPH is less than the sum of enthalpies of reactants, ΣRH then ΔH is negative, (ΔH < 0). Since in such reactions heat is given out to the surroundings, they are called exothermic reactions.
∴ ΣPH < ΣRH
∴ ΔH < 0

Question 51.
Define : (i) Exothermic process (ii) Endothermic process.
Answer:
(i) Exothermic process : A process taking place with the evolution of heat is called exothermic process.
For this process, Q is -ve, ΔH is -ve.
(ii) Endothermic process : A process taking place with the absorption of heat (from the surroundings) is called endothermic process.
For this process, Q is +ve, ΔH is +ve.

Question 52.
Distinguish between Endothermic reaction and Exothermic reaction.
Answer:
Endothermic reaction:

  • In endothermic reaction heat is absorbed from suroundings.
  • Sum of enthalpies of products is greater than sum of enthalpies of reactants i.e. ΣPH > ΣRH
  • Heat of reaction, ΔH is positive.
  • Products are less stable than reactants.
  • C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g)
    ΔH = -394 kJ
  • This reaction requires supply of thermal energy.

Exothermic reaction:

  • In exothermic reaction heat is given out to surroundings.
  • Sum of enthalpies of products is less than sum of enthalpies of reactants.
    i.e. ΣPH < ΣRH
  • Heat of reaction, ΔH is negative.
  • Products are more stable than reactants.
  • N2(g) + O2(g) → 2NO
    ΔH = + 180 kJ
  • This reaction does not require supply of thermal energy.

Answer:
Standard state of an element : It is defined as the most stable state of an element at 298 K and 1 atmosphere (or 1 bar).
In this state, the enthalpy of the element is assumed to be zero.
∴ H0element or in general Helement = 0
∴ H0graphite = HH2(g) = 0; HNa(s) = 0; HHg(l) = 0

Question 54.
What is a thermochemical equation? Explain with an example.
Answer:
Thermochemical equation : It is defined as a balanced chemical equation along with the corresponding heat of reaction (ΔH) and physical states and number of moles of all reactants and all products appropriately mentioned.
E.g. C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) = 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)
ΔH = -2808 kJ mol-1

Question 55.
What are the guidelines followed for writing thermochemical equations?
Answer:
According to IUPAC conventions, while writing thermochemical equations, following rules must be followed :
(1) Reaction is represented by balanced chemical equation for the number of moles of the reactants and the products. E.g.
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) = CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
ΔrH°= -890 kJ mol-1
(2) The physical states of all the substances in the reaction must be mentioned. E.g. (s) for solid, (l) for liquid and (g) for gas.
(3) Heat or enthalpy changes are measured at 298 K and 1 atmosphere (or 1 bar).
(4) ΔH0 is written at right hand side of thermochemical equation.
(5) Proper sign must be indicated for ΔH0. For endothermic reaction ΔH0 is positive, (+ΔH0) and for exothermic reaction ΔH is negative, (-ΔH0).
(6) The enthalpy of the elements in their standard states is taken as zero. (H0Element = 0; H0C(s) = 0, H0H2(g) = 0)
(7) When all the substances taking part in the reaction are in their standard states, the enthalpy change is written as ΔH0.
(8) The enthalpy of any compound is equal to its heat of formation.
(9) In case of elements, the allotropic form must be mentioned. E.g. C(graphite), S(rhombic), Sn(white)
(10) For the reverse reaction, ΔH0 value has equal magnitude but opposite sign.

Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 19

Question 57.
Show that the standard heat of formation of a compound is equal to its enthalpy.
Answer:
Consider the formation of one mole of gaseous CO2 in the standard state at 298 K and 1 atmosphere. The thermochemical equation for formation can be represented as,
C(s) + O2(g) = CO2(g) ΔfH0 = -394 kJ mol-1
Now heat of this reaction, ΔH0 is,
ΔH0reaction = ΣPH0 – ΣRH0
∴ ΔfH0co2(g) = H0co2(g) – [H0c(s) + H0O2(g)]
Since the enthalpies of elements in their standard states are zero,
i.e.
H0c(s) = o, H0O2(g) = 0
∴ ΔfH0co2(g) = H0co2(g) – [0 + 0]
∴ ΔfH0co2 = Hco2(g)
Therefore standard heat of formation of a compound is equal to its enthalpy.

How does addition of heat to a system at different temperatures changes disorder or ΔS ?
Answer:

  • The amount of heat added to a system at higher temperature causes less disorder than when the heat is added at lower temperature.
  • Since disorder depends on the temperature at which heat is added, ΔS relates reciprocally to temperature.
  • This can also be explained from equation,
    ΔS = \(\frac{Q_{\text {rev }}}{T}\)

Question 75.
Explain the change in entropy for the following processes :
(i) 2H2O2(l) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
(ii) 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)
(iii) When ice melts at 0 °C and water vaporises at 100 °C.
Answer:
(i) In the following reaction,
2H2O2(l) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g) ΔS = + 126 JK
Due to formation of O2 gas from liquid, entropy increases.
(ii) In the reaction, entropy decreases due to formation of liquid H2O from gaseous H2 and O2.
(iii) \(\text { Ice } \stackrel{0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\longrightarrow} \text { water } \stackrel{100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\longrightarrow} \text { vapour }\)
In these two steps, entropy increases due to increase in disorder from solid ice to liquid water and further to gaseous state.

Question 76.
How does entropy change in the following processes ? Explain.
(a) freezing of a liquid
(b) sublimation of a solid
(c) dissolving sugar in water
(d) condensation of vapour.
Answer:
(a) Freezing of a liquid results in decrease in randomness and disorder, hence entropy decreases, ΔS < 0.
(b) Sublimation of a solid converts it into vapour where the molecules or atoms are free to move randomly. Hence disorder increases accompanying increase in entropy, ΔS > 0.
(c) Dissolving sugar in water separates the molecules of sugar in the solution increasing disorder and entropy, ΔS > 0.
(d) Condensation of vapour decreases the disorder and randomness, hence entropy, ΔS < 0.

Question 77.
Predict the sign of ΔS in the following processes. Give reasons for your answer :
OR
Explain with reason sign conventions of ΔS in the following reactions.
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 51
Answer:
(a) N2O4(g) → 2NO2(g)
Since 1 mole N2O4 on dissociation gives two moles of NO2, the number of molecules increase, disorder increases hence entropy increases, ΔS > 0.

(b) Fe2O3(s) + 3H2(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3H2O(g)
In the reaction number of moles of gaseous reactants and products are same, hence ΔS = 0.

(c) N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)
In the reaction, 4 moles of gaseous reactants form 2 moles of gaseous products (Δn < 0). Therefore disorder decreases and hence entropy decreases, ΔS < 0.

(d) MgCO3(s) → MgO(s) + CO2(g)
In this 1 mole of orderly solid MgCO3 gives 1 mole of solid MgO and 1 mole of gaseous CO2 (Δn > 0) with more disorder. Hence entropy increases, ΔS > 0.

(e) CO2(g) → CO2(s)
In this system from higher disorder in gaseous state changes to less disorder in the solid state, hence entropy decreases, ΔS < 0.

(f) Cl2(g) → 2Cl(g)
Since the dissociation of Cl2 gas gives double Cl atoms, the number of atoms increases (Δn >0) increasing the disorder of the system. Hence ΔS > 0.

Question 78.
Identify which of the following pairs has larger entropy ? Why ?
(a) He(g) in a volume of 1 L or He(g) in a volume of 5 L both at 25 °C.
(b) O2(g) at 1 atm or O2(g) at 10 atm both at the same temperature.
(c) C2H5OH(l) or C2H5OH(g)
(d) 5 mol of Ne or 2 mol of Ne.
Answer:
(a) Atoms of He in 5 L at 25 °C occupy more volume than in 1 L. Hence, the randomness and disorder is more in 5 L. Expansion of a gas always increases its entropy. Therefore He(g) in 5L will have larger entropy.

(b) O2(g) at 1 atm will occupy more volume than O2(g) at 10 atm at the same temperature. Hence at 1 atm O2(g) will have higher disorder and hence higher entropy.

(c) The molecules of gaseous C2H5OH(g) will have more disorder and randomness due to free motion of molecules than C2H5OH(l). Hence entropy of C2H5OH(g) will be larger.

(d) 5 mol Ne will contain more Ne atoms than 2 mol Ne. Hence disorder in 5 mol will be more. Therefore 5 mol Ne will have larger entropy.

Question 79.
Mention entropy change (ΔS) for :
(i) spontaneous process
(ii) nonspontaneous process
(iii) at equilibrium.
Answer:
(a) ΔStotal > 0, the process is spontaneous
(b) ΔStotal < 0, the process is non-spontaneous
(c) ΔStotal = 0, the process is at equilibrium.

Question 80.
Define Gibbs free energy and change in free energy. What are the units of Gibbs free energy ?
OR
Derive the relation between ΔG and ΔS Total.
Answer:
(i) Gibbs free energy, G is defined as,
G = H – TS
where H is the enthalpy, S is the entropy of the system at absolute temperature T.
Since H, T and S are state functions, G is a state function and a thermodynamic function.

(ii) At constant temperature and pressure, change in free energy ΔG for the system is represented as, ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 52
This is called Gibbs free energy equation for ΔG. In this ΔS is total entropy change, i.e., ΔSTotal.

(iii) The SI units of ΔG are J or kJ (or Jmol-1 or kJmol-1).
The c.g.s. units of ΔG are cal or kcal (or cal mol-1 or kcal mol-1.)

Question 81.
Explain Gibbs free energy and spontaneity of the process.
Answer:
The total entropy change for a system and its surroundings accompanying a process is given by,
ΔSTotal = ΔSsystem + ΔSsurr
By second law, for a spontaneous process,
ΔSTotal > 0. If + ΔH is the enthalpy change (or enthalpy increase) for the process, or a reaction at constant temperature (T) and pressure, then enthalpy change (or enthalpy decrease) for the surroundings will be -ΔH.
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 53
By Gibbs equation,
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
By comparing above two equations,
∴ ΔG = -TΔSTotal
As ΔSTotal increases, ΔG decreases.
For a spontaneous process, ΔSTotal > 0
which is according to second law of thermodynamics.
∴ ΔG < 0.
Hence in a spontaneous process, Gibbs free energy decreases (ΔG < 0) while entropy increases (ΔS > 0).
Therefore for a non-spontaneous process Gibbs free energy increases (Δ G > 0).
It can be concluded that for a process at equilibrium, ΔG=0.
Hence,

  • For the spontaneous process, Δ G < 0
  • For the non-spontaneous process, Δ G > 0
  • For the process at equilibrium, Δ G = 0.

Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics

Question 82.
How does second law of thermodynamics explain the conditions of spontaneity ?
Answer:
The second law explains the conditions of spontaneity as below :
(i) ΔStotal  > 0 and ΔG < 0, the process is spontaneous.
(ii) ΔStotal  < 0 and ΔG > 0, the process is nonspontaneous.
(iii) ΔStotal = 0 and ΔG = 0, the process is at equilibrium.

Question 83.
Discuss the factors, ΔH, ΔS and ΔG for spontaneous and non-spontaneous processes.
OR
What can be said about the spontaneity of reactions when (1) ΔH and ΔS are both positive (2) ΔH and ΔS are both negative (3) ΔH is positive and ΔS is negative (4) ΔH is negative and ΔS is positive.
Answer:
For a spontaneous or a non-spontaneous process, ΔH and ΔS may be positive or negative (ΔH < 0 or ΔH > 0; ΔS < 0 or ΔS > 0). But ΔG must decrease, i.e., ΔG < 0. If ΔG > 0, the process or a reaction will definitely be non-spontaneous. This can be explained by Gibbs equation, ΔG = ΔH – TΔS.
(1) If ΔH and ΔS are both negative, then ΔG will be negative only when TΔS < ΔH or when temperature T is low. Such reactions must be carried out at low temperatures.
(2) If ΔH and ΔS are both positive then ΔG will be negative if, TΔS > ΔH; such reactions must be carried out at high temperature.
(3) If ΔH is negative (ΔH < 0) and ΔS is positive (ΔS > 0) then for all temperatures ΔG will be negative and the reaction will be spontaneous. But as temperature increase, ΔG will be more negative, hence the reaction will be more spontaneous at higher temperature.
(4) If ΔH is positive, (ΔH > 0) and ΔS is negative (ΔS < 0), ΔG will be always positive (ΔG > 0) and hence the reaction will be non-spontaneous at all temperatures.

This can be summarised in the following table :
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 54

Question 84.
Obtain a temperature condition for equilibrium.
Answer:
For a system at equilibrium, free energy change ΔG is,
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
where ΔH is enthalpy change, ΔS is entropy change at temperature, T. Since ΔG = 0 at equilibrium,
O = ΔH – TΔS
∴ TΔS = ΔH
OR T = \(\frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}\)
Hence at temperature T, changeover between forward spontaneous step and backward non-spontaneous step occurs and the system attains an equilibrium.
Here ΔH and ΔS are assumed to be independent of temperature.

Question 85.
Predict the signs of ΔH, ΔS and ΔG of the system when a solid melts at 1 atmosphere and at (a) -55 °C (b) -95 °C (c) -77 °C, if the normal melting point of the solid is -77 °C.
Answer:
Since the normal melting point of the solid is -77°C, to melt the solid at any temperature other than at -77 °C, the pressure is required to be changed. During the phase change, the system will be at equilibrium, hence Δ G = 0.
(a) In case a solid at -55 °C, the temperature should be decreased (ΔH < 0, ΔS < 0) to -77 °C and then it will melt, so ΔH > 0, ΔS > 0, ΔG = 0.
(b) In case of a solid at -95 °C, it represents supercooled system and the temperature should be raised to -77 °C (ΔH > 0, ΔS > 0) and then it will melt so ΔH > 0, ΔS > 0, ΔG = 0.
(c) At -77 °C, solid will melt, solid and liquid will be at equilibrium. Melting involves absorption of heat,
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 55
ΔH >0, ΔS > 0, ΔG = 0.

Entropy change = ΔS = ?
ΔS = \(\frac{Q_{\text {rev }}}{T}=\frac{6000}{300}\) = 20 JK-1
Ans. Entropy change = ΔS = 20 JK-1

Solution :
Given : Latent heat of evaporation = ΔvapH0
= 2.26 kJ g-1
Temperature = T = 273 + 100 = 373 K
Molar mass of water = 18 g mol-1
ΔS = ?
For 1g H2O(l) ΔvapH0 = 2.26 KJ
∴ For 1 mol H2O(l) = 18 g H2O(l)
ΔvapH0 = 2.26 × 18
= 40.68 kJ
= 40680 J
Entropy change, ΔS is given by,

(4) The standard entropies of H2(g), O2(g) and H2O(g) in JK-1 mol-1 are 130, 205 and 189 respectively. The heat of formation of H2O(g) is -242 kJ mol-1. Calculate ΔS for formation of H2O(g), for the surroundings and the universe at 298 K. Mention whether the reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous.
Solution :
Given :

Substance H2(g) O2(g) H2O(g)
Standard entropy S0 JK-1 mol-1 130 205 189

ΔfH0 = -242 kJ mol-1
ΔSuniverse = ?, ΔSsurr = ?
Thermochemical equation for the formation of H2O(g)
H2(g) + \(\frac {1}{2}\)O2(g) → H2O(g)
ΔS0 = [S0H2O] – [H0H2 + \(\frac {1}{2}\) H0O2]
= 189 – [130 + \(\frac {1}{2}\)(205)]
= 189 – [232.5]
= -43.5 JK-1 mol-1
Hence, ΔSsystem = -43.5 JK-1 mol-1
Since for the formation of H2O(g)
ΔfH0 = -242 kJmol-1 = -242 × 103 Jmol-1, the reaction is exothermic. Hence the surroundings gains heat energy 242 × 103J. Therefore entropy of the system decreases while entropy of surroundings increases.
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Thermodynamics 57
Hence, ΔSsys < 0 but ΔSuniverse > 0, hence the reaction is spontaneous.
Ans. ΔSH2O(g) = -43.5 JK-1 mol-1
ΔSsurr = 813 JK-1 mol-1
ΔSuniverse = 769.5 JK-1.

Solution :
Given : Hg(s) + O2(g) → Hg(l) + SO2(g)
ΔrH0 = – 238.6 kJ
ΔS0 = +36.7 JK-1
T = 273 + 25 = 298 K
ΔSTotal = ?
ΔSTotal = ΔSsys + Δ Ssurr
Now, ΔSsys = 36.7 JK-1
Since the reaction is exothermic, system loses heat to surroundings. Hence the entropy of the surroundings increases.
ΔHsurr = + 238.6 kJ = 238600 J

Solution :
Given :
6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) → C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g),
ΔG0 = 2879 kJmol-1;
ΔS0 = -210 JK-1mol-1 = -0.210 kJ K-1 mol-1
T = 298 K ΔH0 = ?
ΔG0 = ΔH0 – TΔS0
∴ ΔH0 = ΔG0 + TΔS0
= 2879 + 298(-0.210)
= 2879 – 62.58
= 2816.42 kJ mol-1
Since ΔH0 > 0, the reaction is endothermic, and system absorbs heat from surroundings. Hence surroundings loses heat,

Ans. ΔS0surr = -9.45 kJ K-1

(7) Calculate ΔSsurr when on mole of methanol (CH3OH) is formed from its elements under standard conditions if ΔfH0(CH3OH) = -238.9 J mol-1.
Solution :
Given : Number of moles of ethanol,
(C2H5OH) = n = 1 mol
ΔfH0(CH3OH) = -238.9 kJ mol-1
= -238.9 × 103J mol-1
Temperature = T = 298 K
ΔS = ?
ΔSsurr = ?
Since ΔfH0 is negative, the reaction for the formation of one mole of C2H5OH is exothermic.
As heat is released to the surroundings,
ΔH0surr = + 238.9 kJ mol-1
∴ ΔSsurr = \(\frac{\Delta H_{\text {surr }}^{0}}{T}=\frac{+238.9 \times 10^{3}}{298}\)
= +801.7 JK-1
Thus entropy of the surroundings increases.

Given that: ΔG° = 2879 KJ mol-1
ΔS0 = -210 J K-1 mol-1
Solution :
Given : ΔG0 = 2879 KJ mol-1 = 2879 × 103 J mol-1
ΔS0 = -210 JK-1 mol-1
ΔSsurr = ?
ΔG0 = ΔH0 – TΔS0
∴ ΔH0 = ΔG0 + TΔS0
= 2879 × 103 + 298 × (- 210)
= 2879 × 103 – 62580
= 2816420 J
Since, for a system, ΔH0 is +2816420 J, the surrounding loses heat to system,
∴ ΔH0surr = – 2816420 J
∴ ΔS0surr = \(\frac{\Delta H_{\text {surr }}^{0}}{T}\)
= \(\frac{-2816420}{298}\)
= -9451 JK-1
= -9.451 kJ K-1
Ans. ΔSsurr = -9.451 kJ K-1

∴ ΔS = \(\frac{\Delta H}{T}=\frac{3.344 \times 10^{3}}{273}\) = 12.25 JK-1
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
= 3.344 – 273 × 12.25 ×10-3 kJ
= 3.344 – 3.344
= 0
Since ΔG = 0, the system is at equilibrium.
Ans. ΔH = 3.344 kJ; ΔS = 12.25 JK-1; ΔG = 0

Maharashtra Board 12th BK Important Questions Chapter 6 Dissolution of Partnership Firm

Question 3.
Account to which the ultimate unpaid balances on the outside liability accounts are transferred on dissolution.
Answer:
Deficiency Account

C. State whether the following statements are True or False with reasons.

Question 1.
The cash and bank balances are not transferred to the Realisation A/c.
Answer:
This statement is True.
Cash or bank balance are liquid assets. They cannot be sold or realised. The cash and/or bank balances are recorded in the Cash and/or Bank Account. All cash and/or bank transactions, at the time of Realisation, are recorded in the Cash and Bank Accounts. Therefore, Cash and Bank balances are not transferred to Realisation Account.

Question 2.
On dissolution, sundry debtors are transferred to Realisation A/c at their net figure.
Answer:
This statement is False.
On dissolution, sundry debtors are transferred to Realisation A/c at their Gross value book value and not at their net figure. R.D.D. which is deducted from debtors is not an asset and therefore R.D.D. is transferred to the credit side of Realisation A/c and the remaining debtors are transferred to the debit side of Realisation A/c.

Question 3.
On dissolution of the firm, the partner’s wife loan is transferred to Realisation A/c.
Answer:
This statement is True.
A loan taken from the partner’s wife is an external liability and it is a third party’s liability. So, the partner’s wife’s loan is transferred to Realisation A/c at the time of dissolution of the firm.

Question 4.
A liability that is not shown in the Balance Sheet on the date of dissolution cannot be repaid.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Liability of the firm which is not yet recorded in the book of accounts is called unrecorded liability. At the time of dissolution unrecorded liability is supposed to be paid though it is not shown in the Balance Sheet.

Maharashtra Board 12th BK Important Questions Chapter 6 Dissolution of Partnership Firm

Question 5.
A debit balance of Realisation A/c indicates profit on realisation.
Answer:
This statement is False.
A debit balance of Realisation A/c means payment is more than the receipt. When payments exceed receipts there is a loss. Hence, debit balance on realisation account indicates loss on realisation and not profit.

D. Answer in one sentence only.

Question 1.
What is Realisation Account?
Answer:
An account that is opened by the firm at the time of its dissolution to determine profit or loss on realisation of assets and payment of liabilities is known as Realisation Account.

Question 2.
Why is the Realisation Account opened?
Answer:
Realisation Account is opened to find out profit or loss made on the sale of assets and discharge of liabilities of the partnership firm.

Question 3.
What are realisation or dissolution expenses?
Answer:
The expenses incurred by the firm to realise the assets and to liquidate the liabilities of the firm on its dissolution are called realisation or dissolution expenses.
