V. Answer in detail.
1. Draw the cell diagram of Daniel cell. Give its reactions.
It is a type of galvanic cell in which zinc metal acts as anode and copper metal as cathode. Aqueous zinc sulphate solution makes the anodic electrolyte whereas aqueous copper sulphate solution makes the cathodic electrolyte. Saturated solution of potassium chloride (KCl) acts as salt bridge. The following figure depicts the construction of Daniel cell.
At anode, zinc undergoes oxidation losing its electrons.
Zn(s) → Zn2+ + 2e– (Oxidation)
At cathode, copper ions from cathodic electrolyte gain electrons at the surface of cathode and get reduced to copper metal.
Cu2+ + 2e– → Cu(s) (Reduction)
Net reaction: Zn(s) + Cu2+ → Zn2+ + Cu(s)
Cell potential of Daniel cell is 1.1 V
2. Explain the types of dyes based on their method of application.
Acid dyes:
These are acidic in nature and used for dyeing animal fibres and synthetic fibres. These can be used for protein fibre such as wool and silk.
E.g. Picric acid, Naphthol yellow-s
Basic dyes:
These are basic dyes containing basic group (-NH2,- NHR, – NR2). They are used for dyeing animal fibres and plant fibres.
Mordant dyes or Indirect dyes:
These dyes have a poor affinity for cotton fabrics and hence do not dye directly. They require pretreatment of the fibre with a mordant. Mordant (latin : mordere = to bite) is a substance which can be fixed to the fibre and then can be combined with the dye to form an insoluble complex called lake. Aluminium, chromium, and iron salts are widely used as mordants.
E.g. alizarin.
Direct dyes:
They have high affinity for cotton, rayon and other cellulose fibre. So they are applied directly as they fix firmly on the fabric.
E.g. Congo red
Vat dyes :
It can be used only on cotton and, not on silk and wool. This dyeing is a continuous process and is carried out in a large vessel called vat. So it is called as vat dye.
E.g. Indigo
3. Name various food additives and explain their functions.
Type of additive |
Function of the additive |
Example |
Preservatives |
They protect food from spoilage by microorganism in storage. |
Vinegar, Sodium benzoate, benzoic acid, sodium nitrite |
Colourants |
They give pleasant colours to food |
Carotenoids, Anthocyanin, Curcumin |
Artificial Sweeteners |
They add sweet taste to food |
Saccharin, Cyclamate |
Flavor enhancers |
They are used to enhance the flavour of food items |
Monosodium glutamate, Calcium diglutamate |
Antioxidants |
They prevent the oxidation of food. They protect us against cardiovascular disease. |
Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Carotene |
VI. HOTS
1. Batteries that are used in mobile phone can be recharged. Likewise, can you recharge the batteries used in watches? Justify your answer.
- A watch battery is a primary cell,that is designed to be used once, and discarded,and hence it is not rechargable.
2. Sudha met with a fire accident. What kind of drug(s), she must take?
- Neosporin,Bacitracin,Silvadene are used for the treatement of fire accident.
3. The soil pH of a crop land is 5. What kind of fertilizers should be used in that land?
- The soil pH of a crop land is 5.it is relative acidity of the soil,so we use the alkaline lime fertilizer in that land.
