Find the EMF of the following cell CO1 BTL2 Zn / Zn+ 2(1 M)// Cu2+(1M) / Cu given E0(Zn| Zn2+ ) = 0.76 V & E0( Cu2+ / Cu) = 0.34 V 9. Calculate the electrode potential of copper electrode at 250C, if CO1 BTL2 CuSO4 = 0.001 M and E0(Cu2+ | Cu) = 0.34 V 10. Define single and standard electrode potentials. CO1 BTL1 Single Electrode potential: Tendency of an electrode to lose or gain electrons when it is in contact with its own ionic solution is called as electrode potential. The tendency of an electrode to lose electrons i.e.to get oxidized, is called Oxidation potential, whereas, the tendency of an electrode to gain electrons i.e.to get reduced, is called Reduction potential. Standard electrode potential: “The tendency of a pure metal or pure gas at 1 atm pressure to undergo oxidation or reduction when it is in contact with 1M solution of its ions at 250C, is called as standard electrode potential. 11.

Explain sacrificial anodic method of protecting corrosion. CO2 BTL2 In this method, the metallic structure to be protected is electrically connected to a more active or anodic metal thanthe metallic structure to be protected. The more active metal acts as anode and gets corroded slowly; while the parent structure (metallic structure to be protected)is forced to act as cathode of galvanic cell, hence protected. As this more active metal is sacrificed its life in the process of saving metallic structure from corrosion, it is known assacrificialanodeand,therefore,thismethodiscalledassacrificialanodicprotection 17. What are the specifications of potable water. CO2 BTL1 Specifications of Potable water/Drinking/Municipal water (any four) Water which is safe to drink is said to be potable water or drinking water. Potable water should have following specifications, 1. Should be sparkling clear and odorless 2. Water should be pleasant in taste. 3. Water should be perfectly cool and its turbidity should not exceed10ppm. 4. It should be free of objectionable minerals such as lead, arsenic, chromium and manganese salts. 5. pH should be around 8 6. Dissolved salts should be less than 500ppm 7. It should be free from disease–producing microorganisms. 8. Chloride,Fluoride&Sulphate contents should be less than 250ppm, 1.5ppm and250 ppm respectively 18. How does Zinc protect the Iron from corrosion? CO2 BTL2 Galvanising is a method of rust prevention. The iron or steel object is coated in a thin layer of zinc. This stops oxygen and water reaching the metal underneath – but the zinc also acts as a sacrificial metal. Zinc is more reactive than iron, so it oxidises rather than the iron object. 19. A sample of water gives an analysis 13.6 mg/L of CaSO4 , 7.3 CO2 BTL mg/L of Mg(HCO3)2. Calculate the total hardness and 2 permanent hardness. 20. Define the term “Reverse osmosis”. CO2 BTL1 REVERSEOSMOSIS: When two solutions of unequal concentration are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, flow of solvent takes place from dilute to concentration side, due to increase in osmostic pressure, which is termed as osmosis. However, when a hydrostatic pressure in excess of osmotic pressure is applied on the concentrated side,the solvent flow is reversed from concentrated side to dilute side, across the membrane. This principle is termed as reverse osmosis 21. A Sample of hard water contains the following dissolved salts CO2 BTL per litre. CaCl2 = 111 mgs, CaSO4 = 1.36 mgs, Ca(HCO3)2 = 16.2 2 mgs, Mg(HCO3)2 = 14.6 mgs, Silica = 40 gms, Turbidity = 10 mgs. Calculate the temporary, permanent and total hardness of water in ppm 22. Explain the significance of Break Point Chlorination. CO3 BTL1 Significance Involves in addition of sufficient amt. of chlorine to oxidise :organic matter, reducing substances. Dosage of applied chlorine to water rich inorganic compound or ammonia is gradually increased. All tastes, odour disappear at breakpoint water free from bad tastes and odours 23. Explain the principle of cathodic reaction of corrosion. CO3 BTL2 Catholic protection: The principle involved in this method is to force the metal to be protected (Parent metal) to behave like cathode. Therefore, corrosion of the parent metal is prevented. There are two types of cathodic protections, (a)Sacrificial anodic protection (b)Impressed current cathodic protection. 24. When copper is in contact with Iron what will be corroded and why? CO3 BTL2 When copper comes in contact with iron, it makes the process of rusting faster. This is because copper has higher reduction potential than iron, and makes the oxidation of iron faster hence rusting 25. 50 ml of sample water consumed 20 ml of 0.01 M EDTA before CO2 BTL3 boiling and 5 ml of the same EDTA after boiling. Calculate the total, permanent and temporary hardness. 26 What is hardness of water? Write its unit. CO3 BTL2 Hardness of Water: Hardness of water is “the characteristic that prevents lathering of soap”.(Or)It is defined as“ the soap consuming capacity of water”. Units of hardness: Parts per million(ppm Milligrams per litre (mg/L) Clarke’s degree(°Cl): Degree French(°Fr): Relationship betweenvariousunitsof hardness: 1ppm=1mg/L=0.1°Fr=0.07°Cl;1mg/L= 1ppm= 0.1°Fr=0.07°Cl; 27. How can the cation and anion exchanger can be regenerated? CO3 BTL2 REGENERATION OF RESINS: 28. What is the electroless nickel plating process? CO3 BTL2 Electroless Nickel Plating (ENP) is the deposit of a nickel -alloy coating by chemical reduction – without the electric current that’s used in electroplating processes. The majority of ENP for engineering purposes is a nickel phosphorus deposit containing 2 to 14% phosphorus. The higher the phosphorus content the greater the corrosion resistance, however the compromise on increased phosphorus content is a decrease in hardness. 29. What do you mean by break point chlorination? CO2 BTL1 Involves in addition of sufficient amt. of chlorine to oxidise :organic matter, reducing substances. Dosage of applied chlorine to water rich inorganic compound or ammonia is gradually increased. All tastes, odour disappear at breakpoint water free from bad tastes and odours 30. Calculate the total hardness of 1000 litre of a water sample CO2 BTL containing the following impurities:16.2 mg/L -Ca(HCO3) 2, 11.1 3 mg/L -CaCl2, 60 mg/L - MgSo4 & 19 mg/L - MgCl2 UNIT: III ENGINEERIN GMATERIALS 31.

UNIT- II WATER CHEMISTRY AND CORROSION 53. Explain principle and method of determination of hardness of water CO2 BTL3 by EDTA method. I. Principle: Hardness of water is estimated by a complexometric titration which involvesEDTA(EtheleneDiamineAceticAcid)asacomplexingagent.EDTAf orms1:1stable,colourlesscomplexeswithCa+2/Mg+2 ionsatpH =9-10. In this titration, Eriochrome Black-T (EBT) is used as indicator which shows blue colour in itsfree state. When EBT is added to Hard water sample buffered to pH = 10, the water sampleturnstowine- redcolourduetotheformationofunstable[Ca-EBT]/[Mg-EBT] complex. During titration, EDTA first combines with freely available Ca+2/ Mg +2 ions of sample water to form stable and colourless [Ca-EDTA]/[Mg-EDTA] complex and when all freely available Ca +2/ Mg +2 ions are complexed with EDTA; further added EDTA displaces EBT from [Ca-EBT/Mg- EBT]complex.Thus,attheendpointthecolourofthesolutionchangesfromwineredtoblue.

Calculate temporary and permanent hardness in the following water CO2 BTL2 sample containing Ca(HCO3)2 = 10.5 ppm ,Mg(HCO3)2 = 12.5 ppm, CaSO4 = 7.5 ppm, CaCl2 = 8.2 ppm, MgSO4 = 2.6 ppm. 55. Explain Ion – exchange method for softening of water CO2 BTL3 Softening of water by ionexchange method: This method is also known as de- mineralization process. Principle: When a sample of water containing different salts (Electrolytes) come in contact with anion-exchange resin,the ions of same sign are exchanged between the resin and the water sample. The ion-exchange resins are insoluble, porous; cross linked polymeric materials (generally these areco-polymers of styrene and di-vinyl benzene). The functional groups attached to the chains of the polymers are responsible for ion-exchange properties. Ion exchange resins are of two types; 1. Cation exchange resins: It consists of fixed anions(SO–,COO-3) and exchangeable cations (H+ions). 2. Anionexchangeresins: Itconsistsoffixedcations (N+R3 ION EXCHANGE PROCESS/DETERMINERALISATION PROCESS: Ion exchange resins are insoluble, cross-linked, long chain organic polymers. The functional groups attached to the chains can exchange hardness producing cat-ions and an-ions present in the water PROCESS: The process involves the following steps: 1) The first chamber is packed with cat-ion exchange resin (RH+). When the hard water is passed through a bed of cation exchange resin it exchanges H+ with Ca+, Mg+2, K+, Na+ etc of hard water. + 2+ 2+ + - 2RH + Mg Cl2à R2Mg + 2H Cl + 2+ 2+ + - 2RH + Ca Cl2 à R2Ca + 2H Cl + 2+ +2 + - 2RH + CaSO4 à R2Ca + 2H + SO4 2+ Thus, the hardness producing cations (Ca , 2+ Mg etc) are removed 1) The second chamber is packed with anion exchange resin. The water coming + - out of the first chamber contains H , Cl , 2 - SO4 - and HCO3 ions. It is now passed through anion exchange resin bed which - can exchange OH ions with anions like 2- - Cl-, SO4 and HCO3 l - l - R OH + Cl à R Cl + OH l 2R OH + 2 SO4 - 56 à l R 2S 2- O4 + 2OH - l RO + 3) Thus, H ions produced from first chamber - combine with OH ions produced from second chamber to form water. + - H + OH à H2O Hence, the water produced from ion-exchange process is completely free from all cations and anions of salts. Regeneration of resins: When resins get saturated they need to be regenerated. The cation exchange resin is regenerated by using dil. HCl, where as anion exchange resin is regenerated by dil. NaOH. Advantages: 1. This method is capable reducing hardness to almost zero. 2. It can be used to soften acidic/alkaline water. Disadvantages: 1. This method is expensive. 2. It can’t remove organic impurities and colloidal impurities. What is Chlorination? Explain different methods of chlorination? CO2 BTL 2 Chlorination : The process of killing pathogenic bacteria and other micro-organisms by adding cholrine is called‘Disinfection or Sterilisation’ by chlorination. The chemicals used for killing bacteria are called ‘DISINFECTANTS’. METHODS OF CHLORINATION: A) By adding Cl2: Clorine gas added to water.it form hypochlorous acid. HOCl is a powerful disinfectant Cl2 + H2O --→HOCl (Hypo Chlorous Acid) + HCl Germs + HOCl ---→ Germs are killed B) By adding Chloramines When chlorine and ammonia are mixed in the ratio 2:1, a compound called Chloramine is formed. Cl2 + NH3 -----→ ClNH2 + HCl ClNH2 + H2O -----→ HOCl + NH3 Germs + HOCl à Germs are killed By adding Bleaching Powder: Water is mixed with required amount of bleaching powder, and the mixture is allowed to stand for several hours CaOCl2 + H2O ---→ Ca(OH)2 + Cl2 Cl2 + H2O -----→ HOCl (Hypo Chlorous Acid) + HCl Germs + HOCl ----→Germs are killed The disinfection action of bleaching powder is due to available chlorine in it. It forms hypochlorous acid which act as a powerful germicide (disinfectant) 57. What is hardness of water? Describe the complexometric method CO2 BTL3 using EDTA for the determination of hardness of water. Hardness of Water: Hardness of water is “the characteristic that prevents lathering of soap”. (Or) Itisdefined as “the soap consuming capacity of water”. Cause of Hardness: Hardness of water is caused by the presence of certain soluble salts of Ca, Mg,and salts of some other heavy metals I. Principle: Hardness of water is estimated by a complexometric titration which involves EDTA (Ethelene Diamine Acetic Acid) as a complexing agent. EDTA forms 1:1 stable, colourless complexes with Ca+2/Mg+2 ions at pH = 9 -10. In this titration, Eriochrome Black-T (EBT) is used as indicator which shows blue colour in its free state. When EBT is added to Hard water sample buffered to pH = 10, the water sample turns to wine-red colour due to the formation of unstable [Ca-EBT]/[Mg-EBT] complex. During titration, EDTA first combines with freely available Ca +2/ Mg +2 ions of sample water to form stable and colourless [Ca-EDTA]/[Mg-EDTA] complex and when all freely available Ca +2 / Mg +2 ions are complexed with EDTA; further added EDTA displaces EBT from [Ca- EBT/Mg- EBT] complex. Thus, at the end point the colour of the solution changes from winered to blue.

What is corrosion of metals? Describe the mechanism of CO3 BTL3 electrochemical corrosion by a) Hydrogen evolution and b) Oxygen absorption Corrosion of Metals: Corrosion is a process of gradual deterioration or destruction of metals or alloys from its surfacedueto unwanted chemical or electrochemical interaction of metal with its environment. Examples: 1. Formation of a layer of reddish brown scale of hydrated ferric oxide on the surface of iron.Formation of a green film of basic carbonate [CuCO3+Cu (OH)2] on the surface of Copper Wet or Electrochemical corrosion: Wet or electro chemical corrosion is common type of corrosion which occurs under wet ormoist conditions. It is observed when (i) a metal is in contact with a conducting liquid , and/or (ii) dissimilarmetals are dipped partially in aqueous corrosive environment. 59. What is the principle involved in Cathodic protection? Discuss the CO3 BTL3 two types of cathodic protection. Cathodic protection: The principle involved in this method is to force the metal to be protected (Parent metal) to behave like cathode. Therefore, corrosion of the parent metal is prevented. There are two types of cathodic protections, (a) Sacrificial anodic protection (b) Impressed current cathodic protection. sacrificial anode method In this method, the metallic structure to be protected is electrically connected to a more active or anodic metal than the metallic structure to be protected. The more active metal acts as anode and gets corroded slowly; while the parent structure (metallic structure to be protected) is forced to act as cathode of galvanic cell, hence protected. As this more active metal is sacrificed its life in the process of saving metallic structure from corrosion, it is known as sacrificial anode and, therefore, thismethod is called as sacrificial anodic protection a) Impressed current cathodic protection In this method, an impressed D.C current is applied, through D.C current source by a battery, between the metallic structure to be protected which is forced to act as cathode and an insoluble electrode like platinum, graphite or nickel which is buried in conducting medium adjacent to the metallic structure to be protected and acts as anode of an electrolytic cell as shown in the figure. The impressed D.C current applied nullifies the corrosion current thus the metallic structure is protected from corrosion. The metals which are commonly used as insoluble anodes are Graphite, Scrap iron, etc.This type of cathodic protection is applied to buried structures such as tanks and pipelines, since, their operating and maintenance costs are less, and they are well suited for large structures and long term operations..60 What are the disadvantages of hard water? Explain the methods of CO2 BTL3 removal of hardness of water by Ion – Exchange method. a) DISADVANTAGES OF HARDWATER / CAUSES OF HARDNESS: The following are the disadvantages when hard water is used for various purpose: (i) DOMESTIC USE: (a) Washing and Bathing : Hard water does not form lather easily with soap is wasted (b) Drinking : Hard water causes bad effects on our digestive system. Sometimes, stone formation takes place in kidneys (c) Cooking : The boiling point of water is increased due to the presence of salts. Hence, more fuel and timeare required for cooking. (c) Textile Industry : Hard water causes wastage of soap. Precipitates of calcium and magnesiumsoap adhere to the fabrics and cause problem (d) Paper Industry : Calcium and Magnesium salts in water may effect the quality of paper. (e) Sugar Industry : Water containing sulphates, carbonates, nitrates (f) affects the crystallisation of sugar. Softening of water by ion exchange method: This method is also known as de- mineralization process. Principle: When a sample of water containing different salts (Electrolytes) come in contact with anion-exchange resin, the ions of same sign are exchanged between the resin and the water sample. The ion-exchange resins are insoluble, porous; cross linked polymeric materials (generally these are co-polymers of styrene and di-vinyl benzene). The functional groups attached to the chains of the polymers are responsible for ion-exchange properties. Ion exchange resins are of two types; 3. Cation exchange resins: It consists of fixed anions (SO3–,COO-)and exchangeable cations (H+ions). 4. Anion exchange resins: Itconsistsoffixedcations (N+R3 ION EXCHANGE PROCESS/DETERMINERALISATION PROCESS: Ion exchange resins are insoluble, cross-linked, long chain organic polymers. The functional groups attached to the chains can exchange hardness producing cat-ions and an-ions present in the water PROCESS: The process involves the following steps: 1) The first chamber is packed with cat- ion exchange resin (RH+). When the hard water is passed through a bed of cation exchange resin it exchanges H+ with Ca+, Mg+2, K+, Na+ etc of hard water. + 2+ 2+ + - 2RH + Mg Cl2à R2Mg + 2H Cl + 2+ 2+ + - 2RH + Ca Cl2 à R2Ca + 2H Cl + 2+ +2 + - 2RH + CaSO4 à R2Ca + 2H + SO4 2+ Thus, the hardness producing cations (Ca , 2+ Mg etc) are removed 1) The second chamber is packed with anion exchange resin. The water coming + - out of the first chamber contains H , Cl , 2 - SO4 - and HCO3 ions. It is now passed through anion exchange resin bed which - can exchange OH ions with anions like 2- - Cl-, SO4 and HCO3 l - l - R OH + Cl à R Cl + OH l 2R OH + 2 SO4 - à l R 2S 2- O4 + 2OH - l RO + 3) Thus, H ions produced from first chamber - combine with OH ions produced from second chamber to form water. + - H + OH à H2O Hence, the water produced from ion-exchange process is completely free from all cations and anions of salts. Regeneration of resins: When resins get saturated they need to be regenerated. The cation exchange resin is regenerated byusingdil. HCl, whereasanionexchange resinis regeneratedbydil. NaOH. Advantages: 3. This method is capable reducing hardness to almost zero. 4. It can be used to soften acidic/alkaline water. Disadvantages: 3. This method is expensive. 4. It can’t remove organic impurities and colloida limpurities. 62 1 gm of CaCO3 was dissolved in HCl and the solution was made CO2 BTL4 upto one litre with distilled water. 50 ml of the above solution required 30 ml of EDTA solution on titration. 50 ml of hard water sample required 40 ml of the same solution of EDTA for titration. 50 ml of the hard water after boiling, filtering etc. required 30 ml of the same EDTA solution for titration. Calculate the temporary hardness of the water Molarity of CaCO3 solution (M1) = wt. of CaCO3 x 1000 = M.Wt. of CaCO3 Vml 1 x 1000 = 0.01 M 100 Molarity of EDTA solution (M2) = V1 M1 V2 V1= volume of CaCO3 solution = 50 ml M1= Molarity of CaCO3 solution = 0.01 M V2= volume of EDTA = 30 ml M2= V1 M1 = 50 x 0.01 = 0.016 M V2 30 Molarity of Hard Water Sample (M3) = V2 M2 V3 V2= volume of EDTA = 40 ml M2= Molarity of EDTA = 0.016 M V3= volume of hard water sample = 50 ml M3= 40 x 0.016 = 0.0128 M 50 Total Hardness of water sample = M3 x 100 x 1000 = 0.0128 x 100 x 1000 = 1280 ppm Permanent hardness of water sample: V4 M4 = V2 M2 M 4 = V2 M 2 V4 V2= volume of EDTA = 30 ml M2= molarity of EDTA = 0.016 V4= volume of permanent hardness containing water = 50 M4 = 30 x 0.016 = 0.0096 M 50 Permanent hardness of water = M4 x 100 x 1000 = 0.0096 x 100 x 1000 = 960 ppm Temporary hardness = Total hardness – Permanent hardness = 1280 – 960 = 320 ppM 63 Explain reverse Osmosis method of water softening. CO3 BTL4 REVERSEOSMOSIS: When two solutions of unequal concentration are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, flow of solvent takes place from dilute to concentration side, due to increase in osmostic pressure, which is termed as osmosis. However, when a hydrostatic pressure in excess of osmotic pressure is applied on the concentrated side,the solvent flow is reversed from concentrated side to dilute side, across the membrane. This principle is termed as reverse osmosis METHOD OF PURIFICATION The reverse osmosis cell consists of a chamber fitted with a semi-permeable membrane, above which sea water/impure water is taken and a pressure of 15 to 40 kg/cm2 is applied on the sea water/impure water. The pure water is forced through the semi permeable membrane which is made of very thin films of cellulose acelate. However superior membrane made of Polymethacrylate and Polyamide polymers have come to use 64. How do the following factors influence the rate of corrosion? CO2 BTL3 a) Position in galvanic series b) Purity of metal c) Humidity in air d). Nature of surface film Nature of metal Position of the metal in Galvanic Series: Galvanic series gives real and useful information regarding the corrosion behaviour of metals and alloys in a given environment. When two metals are electrically combined and exposed to corrosive environment the metal with lower potential acts as anode and undergoes corrosion where as the metal with higher potential acts as cathode. b)Purity of metal: In general higher the purity of the metal, lesser the rate of corrosion. Thus zinc of 99.95 % purity undergoes corrosion at rate of about 5000 times more compared to zinc of 99.999% purity c)humidity in air: Higher the humidity (moisture content) higher will be the rate of corrosion. Moisture acts as solvent for O2, H2S, SO2 etc to furnish the electrolyte essential for setting corrosion cell. Gases like H2S and SO2 increase the acidity of the medium by their dissolution in water. Therefore, the rate of corrosion increases as humidity increases Nature of surface oxide film If the corrosion product formed is stable, non-porous and strongly adherent layer it prevents further corrosion. If corrosion product formed is highly unstable the metals do not undergo corrosion. If the corrosion product formed is porous or volatile metals undergo severe corrosion. If the corrosion product is soluble in medium to which it is immersed, corrosion of the metal occurs with a faster rate 65.

HCl & diluted to 1000 ml. 50 ml of this solution required 48 ml of EDTA solution for titration. 50 ml of hard water sample required 15 ml of EDTA solution for titration. 50 ml of same water sample on boiling, filtering etc. required 10 ml of EDTA solution 66. 0.5 gm of CaCO3 was dissolved 0.1m HCl and diluted to 100 ml. BTL 50ml of this solution required 48 ml of EDTA solution for titration. 4 CO2 50 m1 of same sample required 15 ml of EDTA solution. 50 ml of the same on boiling, filtering required 10 ml of EDTA solution.

Disinfection by Chlorination a) By adding Bleaching Powder: Water is mixed with required amount of bleaching powder, and the mixture is allowed to stand for several hours CaOCl2 + H2O à Ca(OH)2 + Cl2 Cl2 + H2O à HOCl (Hypo Chlorous Acid) + HCl Germs + HOCl à Germs are killed The disinfection action of bleaching powder is due to available chlorine in it. It forms hypochlorous acid which act as a powerful germicide (disinfectant) BREAK-POINT CHLORINATION Involves in addition of sufficient amt. of chlorine to oxidise :organic matter, reducing substances. Dosage of applied chlorine to water rich in organic compound or ammonia is gradually increased.Four stages: The addition of chlorine at the dip or break : ’ breakpoint’ chlorination.
