नील माधव पांडा की आई एम कलाम फिल्म का नायक है छोटू उर्फ कलाम । दस साल का कलाम भाटी सा की चाय की दूकान में काम करता है । उसका सपना है स्कूल जाना और पढ़ लिखकर राष्टपति कलाम-सा बनना । उनकेलिए वह अपना नाम खुद कलाम रखता है। कलाम सीखने में तेज़ है । चाय बनना, ऊँट की दवा करना आदि वह जल्दी ही सीख लेता है । वह इतना होशियार है कि झट से विदेशी टूरिस्टों की बोली सीख जाता है और लूसी मैडम का दिल भी जीत लेता है। कलाम अपने भोलापन से ढाणी के राजकुमार रणविजय का दोस्त बन जाता है। बन इतने अकलमंद है कि कुँवार रणविजय के लिए भाषण तक लिखकर देता है और उसको इनाम मिलने का कारण बन जाता है। कलाम एक ईमानदार लड़का है। चोरी का आरोप भी वह सह लेता है । फिर भी दोस्ती का प्रण तोड़ने केलिए तैयार नही होता है ।

प्रस्तुत पंक्तियाँ आधुनिक हिंदी के प्रमुख कवि श्री. राजोश जोश की सुन्दर कविता बच्चे काम पर जा रहै हैं से ली गई हैं। इसमें कवि बालश्रम पर तीखा प्रहार करते हैं।

छोटे-छोटे बच्चे पढ़ने के बजाय काम करने केलिए जा रहे हैं। इस भयानक दृश्य देखकर कवि पूछते हैं कि क्या सारी गेंदे अंतरिक्ष में गिर गई है ? सारी रंग बिरंगी किताबों को दीमकों ने खा लिया क्या? क्या सारे खिलौने काले पहाड़ के नीचे दब गए हैं ? क्या सारे मदरसों की इमारतें किसी भूकंप में ढह गई हैं? गेंदें, किताबें, खिलौने, स्कूल की इमारतें, बच्चों के मनोरंजन एवं मानसिक विकास का साधन है। इन सब से ये बच्चे वंचित हैं। बच्चों को पढ़ने व खेलने की सुविधाएँ उपलब्ध कराना हमारा कर्तव्य हैं।

समाज की एक बड़ी समस्या को कविता के द्वारा प्रस्तुत करने में कवि को पूर्ण सफलता मिली है। यह कविता बिलकुल प्रासंगिक और अच्छी है। कविता की भाषा अत्यंत सरल एवं हमें चिंतित करने की प्रेरणा देनेवाली है ।

उत्तर:
कवितांश की आशय
प्रस्तुत पंक्तियाँ हिन्दी के प्रमुख कवि नागार्जुन की छोटी कविता अकाल और उसके बाद से ली गई हैं। इसमें कवि ने उनके बिंबों और प्रतीकों से सजाकर अकाल की भीषणता का वर्णन किया है।

अकाल के कारण कई दिनों तक घर में दाना नहीं था। खाना पकाने कोई न जलाने से चूल्हा रो रहा था। और दाना पीसने कोई उपयोग न करने से चक्की उदास पड़ी थी। चूल्हा और चक्की के पास घर की कानी कुतिया अनाज आने की प्रतीक्षा में सो रही थी । भूख से तडपती छिपकलियाँ भी कीड़ों की तलाश में घर की दीवारों पर घूम रही थी।

अकाल में चूहों की हालत भी अनाज के बिना बहुत बुरी थी। कवितांश के ज़रिए कवि यह बताते है कि घर में ग्रस्त अकाल का परिणाम वहाँ के मुष्यों पर ही नहीं सारे जीव-जंतुओं पर भी पड़ रहा है। कवितांश की हर पंक्तियों में कई दिनों तक का प्रयोग अकाल की तीक्षणता को दिखाने के लिए बार बार किया है। कविता में कवि ने अकाल की भीषणता को चित्रित करने में सफल हुए हैं। यह कवितांश बिलकुल प्रासंगिक और अच्छी है । कवितांश में सरल भाषा का प्रयोग किया है।

वहाँ तुम्हारी पढ़ाई कैसे हो रही हैं ? परिवारवालों से मेरा प्रणाम कहना। जवाब पत्र की प्रतीक्षा में ।

We can write scripts in a file and save it as a separate file with the extension .js. The advantage is that this file can be used across multiple HTML files and can enhance the speed of page loading.

Question 22.
What is meant by web hosting? Briefly explain any two pages of web hosting?
Answer:
Web hosting
Buying or renting storage space to store website in a web server and provide service(made available 24×7) to all the computers connected to the Internet. This is called web hosting. Such service providing companies are called web hosts. Programming languages used are PHP, ASP.NET, JSP.NET, etc.

Types of web hosting
Various types of web hosting services are available. We can choose the web hosting services according to our needs depends upon the storage space needed for hosting, the number of visitors expected to visit, etc.

1. Shared Hosting: This type of hosting shares resources, like memory, disk space, and CPU hence the name shared. Several websites share the same server. This is suitable for small websites that have less traffic and it is not suitable for large websites that have large bandwidth, large storage space, and have a large volume of traffic. Eg: Shared hosting is very similar to living in an Apartment(Villas) complex. All residents are in the same location and must share the available resources(Car parking area, Swimming pool, Gymnasium, playground, etc) with everyone.

2. Dedicated Hosting: A web server and its resources are exclusively for one website that has a large volume of traffic means a large volume of requests by visitors. Some Govt, departments or large organizations require uninterrupted services for that round the clock power supply is needed. It is too expensive but it is more reliable and provides good service to the public.
Eg: It is similar to living in an Our own house. All the resources in your house are only for you. No one else’s account resides on the computer and would not be capable of tapping into your resources.

3. Virtual Private Server (VPS): A VPS is a virtual machine sold as a service by an Internet hosting Service. A VPS runs its own copy of an OS(Operating System) and customers have super level access to that OS instance, so they can install almost any s/w that runs on that OS. This type is suitable for websites that require more features than shared hosting but less features than dedicated hosting.
Eg: It is similar to owning a Condo

Question 23.
Explain the different levels of data abstraction in DBMS?
Answer:
Levels of Database Abstraction

Physical Level (Lowest Level) – It describes how the data is actually stored in the storage medium.
Logical Level (Next Higher Level) – It describes what data are stored in the database.
View Level (Highest level) – It is closest to the users. It is concerned with the way in which the individual users view the data.

Question 24.
Which constraints are used to define the following cases in SQL?
a) set a field to uniquely identify rows in a table.
b) increment the value of a field automatically.
c) set the value of a field to be not null
Answer:
a) Primary key
b) auto increment
c) not null

Question 25.
Consider the data given below
Data in first array: 12, 36, 29, 34, 48
Data in Second array: Pen = 35, Pencil = 40, Eraser = 5, Brush = 25.
a) Name the suitable types of arrays to store these data. (1 score)
b) Write the PHP code to create these arrays to store the data. (2 scores)
Answer:
a) first array – Indexed array
second array – Associated array

b) i) $mark=array(12, 36, 29, 34, 48);
ii) $price=array(“Pen”=>”35″,”Pencil”=>”40″, “Eraser”=>”5”, “Brush”=>”25”);

Question 26.
What is meant by distributed computing? Discuss any two distributed computing Paradigms.
Answer:
Distributed computing is a method of computing in which large problems can be divided into smaller ones and these smaller one are distributed among several computers. The solution for the smaller ones are computed separately and simultaneously. Finally, the results are assembled to get the desired overall solution.

1. Parallel computing
In Serial computation, the problem is divided into a series of instructions and these instructions are executed sequentially, i.e. one after another. Here, only one instruction is executed at a time. But in parallel computing, more than one instruction is executed simultaneously at a time.

2. Grid computing
It is a system in which millions of computers, smartphones, satellites, telescopes, cameras, sensors, etc. are connected to each other as a cyber world in which computational power (resources, services, data) is readily available like electric power. Any information at any time at any place can be made available at our fingertips. This is used in disaster management, weather forecasting, market forecasting, bio information, etc.

Question 27.
What are the different types of interaction between stakeholders in e-Governance?
Answer:
e-Governance facilitates interaction between different stakeholders in governance

Government to Government(G2G): Electronically exchanging data or information among Government agencies, departments or organizations.
Government to Citizens(G2C): Exchange information between Government and Citizens Government to Business(G2B): Interaction between the Government and Businessmen.
Government to Employees(G2E): The exchange of information between the Government and its employees

Question 28.
a) Why do we need a dynamic webpage? Give an example.
b) What is the role ofwebservers?
c) Differentiate static webpage and dynamic webpage
Answer:
a) Some pages are displaying the same content(same text, images, etc) every time. Its content is not changing. This type of web page is called a static page. Conventional web pages display static pages and have some limitations.
Advanced tools are used to create web pages dynamic, which means pages are more attractive and interactive. For this JavaScript, VBScript, ASP, JSP, PHP, etc are used.

b) A computer with high storage capacity, high speed, and processing capabilities is called a web server. Hence it is a powerful computer with a server operating system and software for providing services like www, e-mail, etc. Popular server operating systems are Redhat, OpenSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, Sun Solaris, Microsoft Windows Server, etc.

Kerala Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 3 Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry-
branch of chemistry which deals with the inter-relationship between electrical energy and chemical changes.

Electrolysis – The chemical reaction occuring due to the passage of electric current (i.e., electrical energy is converted into chemical energy).

Electrochemical reaction –
The chemical reaction in which electric current is produced (i.e., chemical energy is converted into electrical energy). Example: Galvanic cell

Electrochemical Cell: – (Galvanic Cell/Voltaic Cell) :
It converts chemical energy into electrical energy during redox reaction, e.g. Daniell Cell
The cell reaction is
Zn(s) + Cu²⁺ (aq) Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu(s)
It has a potential equal to 1.1 V.
3 Electrochemistry
If an external opposite potential is applied in the Daniell ce|l, the following features are noted:
a) When E_ext < 1.1 V,
(i) electrons flow from Zn rod to Cu rod and hence current flows from Cu rod to Zn rod.
(ii) Zn dissolves at anode and Cu deposits at cathode.

b) When E_ext= 1.1 V,
(i) No flow of electrons or current,
(ii) No chemical reaction.

c) When E_ext > 1.1 V
(i) Electrons flow from Cu to Zn and current flows from Zn to Cu.
(ii) Zn is deposited at the Zn electrode and Cu dissolves at Cu electrode.

Galvanic Cells :
In this device, the Gibbs energy of the spontaneous redox reaction is converted into electrical work.

The cell reaction in Daniell cell is a combination of the following two half reactions:

Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 $\overline { e } $ (oxidation half reaction/ anode reaction)
Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 $\overline { e } $ → Cu(s) (reduction half-reaction/ cathode reaction)

These reactions occur in two different vessels of the Daniell cell. The oxidation half reaction takes place at Zn electrode and reduction half reaction takes place at Cu electrode. The two vessels are called half cells or redox couple. Zn electrode is called oxidation half cell and Cu electrode is called reduction half cell. The two half-cells are connected externally by a metallic wire through a voltmeter and switch. The electrolyte of the two half-cells are connected internally through a salt bridge.

Salt Bridge :
It is a U-shaped glass tube filled with agar-agar filled with inert electrolytes like KCl, KNO₃, NH₄NO₃.

Functions of Salt Bridge :

It maintains the electrical neutrality of the solution by intermigration of ions into two half-cells.
It reduces the liquid-junction potential.
It permits electrical contact between the electrode solutions but prevents them from mixing.

Electrode potential –
potential difference developed between the electrode and the electrolyte. According to IUPAC convention, the reduction potential alone is called electrode potential and is represented as $E_{M^{n+} / M}$

Standard Electrode Potential :
The electrode potential understandard conditions, (i.e., at 298 K, 1 atm pressure and 1M concentrated solution) is called standard electrode potential. It is represented as E^Θ.

Representation of a Galvanic Cell :
A galvanic cell is generally represented by putting a vertical line between metal and electrolyte solution and putting a double vertical line between the two electrolytes connected by a salt bridge.

For example, the Galvanic cell can be represented as,
Zn (s)|Zn²⁺(aq)||Cu²⁺(aq)|Cu(s)

Cell Potential or EMF of a Cell :
The potential difference between the two electrodes of a galvanic cell is called cell potential (EMF) and is measured in volts.
EMF = E_cell = E_cathode – E_anode = E_Rjght – E_Left
Consider a cell, Cu(s) | Cu2²⁺ (aq) || Ag⁺ (aq) | Ag(s)
E_cell = E_cathode – E_anode = E_Ag⁺/Ag – E_Cu²⁺/Cu

How to calculate EMF of a cell – Chemistry – Redox Reactions.

Measurement of Electrode Potential using Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE)/Normal Hydrogen Electrode :
SHE or NHE consists of a platinum electrode coated with platinum black. The electrode is dipped in an exactly 1 M HCl solution and pure H₂ gas at 1 bar is bubbled through it at 298 K. The electrode potential is arbitrarily fixed as zero at all temperatures.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 3 Electrochemistry 2

Representation of SHE/NHE :
When SHE acts as anode:
Pt(s), Hsub>2(g, 1 bar) / H⁺(aq, 1 M)
When SHE acts as cathode:
H⁺(aq, 1 M)/H₂(g, 1 bar), Pt(s)

Electrochemical Series/Activity series :
The arrangement of various elements in the increasing or decreasing order of their standard electrode potentials.

Applications of Electrochemical Series:
1. To calculate the emf of an electrochemical cell – The electrode with higher electrode potential is taken as cathode and the other as anode.
$E_{\mathrm{cell}}^{\Theta}=E_{\mathrm{cathode}}^{\Theta}-E_{\mathrm{anodo}}^{\Theta}$

2. To compare the reactivity of elements – Any metal having lower reduction potential (electode potential) can displace the metal having higher reduction potential from the solutions of their salt, e.g. Zn can displace Cu from solution.
Zn(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → ZnSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

3. To predict the feasibility of cell reactions -If EMF is positive, the cell reaction is feasible and if it is negative the cell reaction is not feasible.

4. To predict whether H₂ gas will be evolved by reaction of metal with acids – All the metals which have lower reduction potentials compared to that of H₂ electrode can liberate H₂ gas from acids.

5. To predict the products of electrolysis.

Nernst Equation :
It gives a relationship between electrode potential and ionic concentration of the electrolyte. For the electrode reaction,
Mⁿ⁺ (aq) + n $\overline { e } $ → M(s)
the electrode potential at any concentration measured with respect to SHE can be represented by,
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 3 Electrochemistry 3
R = gas constant (8.314 J K^-1 mol^-1), T=temperaturein kelvin, n = number of electrons taking part in the electrode reaction, F = Faraday constant (96487 C mol^-1)

By converting the natural logarithm to the base 10 and subsitituting the values of R(8.314 J K^-1 mol^-1),T (298 K) and F (96487 C mol^-1) we get,

Conductance of Electrolytic Solutions: .Conductors:
A substance which allows the passage of electricity through it. Conductor are classified as,

Metallic or Electronic Conductors:
In these the conductance is due to the movement of electrons and it depends on:

The nature and structure of the metal
Number of valence electrons per atom
Temperature (it decreases with increase in temperature)
e.g. Ag, Cu, Al etc.

ii. Electrolytic Conductors
Electrolytes – The substances which conduct electricity either in molten state or in solution, e.g. NaCl, NaOH, HCl, H₂SO₄ etc. The conductance is due to the movement of ions. This is also known as ionic conductance and it depends on:

Nature of the electrolyte
Size of the ions and their solvation
Nature of the solvent and its viscosity
Concentration of the electrolyte
Temperature (it increases with increase in temperature)

Ohm’s law – It states that the current passing through a conductor (I) is directly proportional to the potential difference (V) applied.
i.e., I ∝ V or I = $\frac{V}{R}$
where R – resistance of the conductor- unit ohm. In SI base units it is equal to kg m²/s³ A²

The electrical resistance of any substance/object is directly proportional to its length T, and inversly proportional to its area of cross section ‘A’.
R ∝ $\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{A}}$ or R = ρ$\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{A}}$ where,

ρ – (Greek, rho) – resistivity/specific resistance – SI unit ohm metre (Ω m) or ohm cm (Ω cm).

Conductance (G):
inverse or reciprocal of resistance (R).
$G=\frac{1}{R}=\frac{A}{\rho \ell}=\kappa \frac{A}{\ell}$
where K = $\frac{1}{\rho}$ called conductivity or specific conductance (K – Greek, kappa)

SI unit of conductance – S (siemens) or ohm^-1.
SI unit of conductivity – S m^-1
1 S cm^-1 = 100 S m^-1

Molar Conductance of a Solution (Λ_m):
It is the conductance of the solution containing one mole of the electrolyte when placed between two parallel electrodes 1 cm apart. It is the product of specific conductance (K) and volume (V) in cm³ of the solution containing one mole of the electrolyte.

where M is molarity of the solution.
Unit of Λ_m is ohm’1 cm2 mol’1 Or S cm² mol^-1
Λ_m = $\frac{K}{C}$ [C-Concentration of the solution.]

Measurement of the Conductivity of Ionic Solutions :
The measurement of an unknown resistance can be done by Wheatstone bridge. To measure resitance of the electrolyte it is taken in a conductivity cell. The resistance of the conductivity cell is given by the equation.
$R=\rho \frac{\ell}{A}=\frac{1}{\kappa A}$
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 3 Electrochemistry 11
The quantity $\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{A}}$ is called cell constant and isdenoted A by G*. It depends on the distance (/) between the electrodes and their area of cross-section (A).

Variation of Conductivity and Molar Conductivity with Concentration :
Conductivity (K) always decreases with decrease in concentration both for weak and strong electrolytes. This is because the number of ions per unit volume that carry the current in a solution decreases on dilution.

Molar conductivity (Λ_m) increases with decrease in concentration. This is because the total volume, V of the solution containing one mole of electrolyte also increases.

The variation of molar conductance is different for strong and weak electrolytes,

1. Variation of Λ_m with Concentration for Strong Electrolytes:
The molar conductance increases slowly with decrease in concentration (or increase in dilution) as shown below:
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 3 Electrochemistry 12
There is a tendency for Λ_m to approach a certain limiting value when concentration approaches zero i. e., dilution is infinite. The molar conductance of an electrolyte when the concentration approaches zero is called molar conductance at infinite dilution, Λ_m^∞ or Λ°_m. The molar conductance of strong electrolytes obeys the relationship.
Λ_m = Λ°_m -AC^1/2 where C = Molar concentration, A = constant for a particular type of electrolyte.
This equation is known as Debye-Huckel-Onsagar equation.

2. Variation of Λ_m with Concentration for Weak Electrolytes :
For weak electrolytes the change in Λ_m with dilution is due to increase in the degree of dissociation and consequently increase in the number of ions in total volume of solution that contains 1 mol of electrolyte. Here, Λ_m increases steeply on dilution, especially near lower concentrations.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 3 Electrochemistry 13
Thus, the variation of Λ_m with √c is very large so that we cannot obtain molar conductance at infinite dilution Λ°_m by the extrapolation of the graph.

Kohlrausch’s Law:
The law states that, the molar conductivity of an electrolyte at infinite dilution is equal to the sum of the molar ionic conductivities of the cations and anions at infinite dilution.
Λ°_m = γ₊ λ°₊ + γ_– λ°_–
λ°₊ and λ°_– are the molar conductivities of cations and anions respectively at infinite dilution, Y+ and V. are number of cations and anions from a formula unit of the electrolyte.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 3 Electrochemistry 14

Applications of Kohlaransch’s Law
1) To calculate Λ°_m of weak electrolytes

2) To calculate degree of dissociation of weak electrolytes
$\alpha=\frac{\Lambda_{m}}{\Lambda_{m}^{0}}$

3) To determine the dissociation constant of weak electrolytes

Electrolytic Cell and Electrolysis:
In an electrolytic cell, external source of voltage is used to bring about a chemical reaction. Electrolysis is the phenomenon of chemical decomposition of the electrolyte caused by the passage of electricity through its molten or dissolved state from an external source.

Quantitative Aspects of Electrolysis
Faraday’s Laws of Electrolysis First Law:
The amount of any substance liberated or deposited at an electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passing through the
electrolyte.
w α Q where ‘Q’ is the quantity of electric charge in coulombs.
w = ZQ .
w = Zlt
(∵ Q = It) where T is the current in amperes , ‘t’ is the time in seconds and ‘Z’ is a constant called electrochemical equivalent.

Second Law:
The amounts of different substances liberated by the same quantity of electricity passing through the electrolytic solution are proportional to their chemical equivalent weights.

The quantity of electricity required to liberate/deposit 1 gram equivalent of any substance is called Faraday constant ‘F’.
1 F = 96487 C/mol ≈ 96500 C/mol

Products of Electrolysis:
It depend on the nature of the material being electrolysed and the type of electrodes being used.

Electrolysis of Sodium Chloride:
When electricity is passed through molten NaCl, Na is deposited at the cathode and Cl₂ is liberated at the anode.
Na+(aq) + $\overline { e } $ → Na(s) (Reduction at cathode)
Cl^–(aq) → ½ Cl₂(g) + $\overline { e } $ (Oxidation at anode)

When concentrated aqueous solution of NaCl is electrolysed, Cl₂ is liberated at anode, but at cathode H₂ is liberated instead of Na deposition due to the high reduction potential of hydrogen.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 3 Electrochemistry 17
The resultant solution is alkaline due to the formation of NaOH.

Electrolysis of CuSO₄ :
When aqueous CuSO₄ solution is electrolysed using Pt electrodes, Cu is deposited at the cathode and O₂ is liberated at the anode.
Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 $\overline { e } $ → Cu(s) (at cathode)
H₂O(l) → 2H⁺(aq) + 1/2 O₂(g) + 2 $\overline { e } $ (at anode)

If Cu electrode is used, Cu is deposited at cathode and an equivalent amount of Cu dissolves in solution from the anode (because oxidation potential of Cu is higherthan that of water).
Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 $\overline { e } $ → Cu(s) (at cathode)
Cu(s) → Cu²⁺(aq) + 2$\overline { e } $ (atanode)

Commercial Cells (Batteries)
The electrochemical cells can be used to generate electricity. They are two types:
i) Primary Cells:
Cells in which the electrode reactions cannot be reversed by external energy. These cells cannot be recharged, e.g. Dry cell, Mercury cell.

ii) Secondary Cells :
Cells which can be recharged by passing current through them in the opposite direction so that they can be used again.
e.g. Lead storage battery, Nickel-Cadmium cell.

Primary Cells
a) Dry Cell:
Anode – Zn container
Cathode – Carbon (graphite) rod surrounded by powdered MnO₂ and carbon.
Electrolyte – moist paste of NH₄Cl and ZnCl₂
The electrode reactions are :
Anode : Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2 $\overline { e } $
Cathode: MnO₂ + NH₄⁺ + $\overline { e } $ → MnO(OH) + NH₃
Dry cell has a potential of nearly 1.5 V.

b) Mercury Cell:
Anode – Zn amalgam (Zn/Hg)
Cathode – paste of HgO and carbon
Eelectrolyte – paste of KOH and ZnO. The electrode reactions are,
Anode : Zn/Hg + 2OH^– → ZnO(s) + H₂O + 2 $\overline { e } $
Cathode : HgO + H₂O + 2 $\overline { e } $ → Hg(l) + 2 OH^–
Overall reaction : Zn/Hg + HgO(s) → ZnO(s)+ Hg(l)
The cell potential = 1.35 V

2. Secondary Cells
a) Lead Storage Battery :
Anode – lead plates
Cathode – grids of lead plates packed with lead dioxide (PbO₂)
Electrolyte – 38% (by weight) soution of H₂SO₄.
The cell reactions when the battery is in use are,
Anode: Pb(s) + SO₄^2-(aq) → PbSO₄ + 2 $\overline { e } $
Cathode: PbO₂(s) + SO₄^2-(aq) + 4H⁺(aq) + 2 $\overline { e } $ → PbSO₄(s) + 2H₂O(I)
The overall cell reaction is,
Pb(s) + PbO₂(s) + 2H₂SO₄(aq) → 2PbSO₄(s) + 2H₂O(l)

The emf of the cell depends on the concentration of H₂SO₄. On recharging the battery the reaction is reversed and PbSO₄(s) on anode is converted to Pb and PbSO₄(s) at cathode is converted into PbO₂.

b) Nickel-Cadmium Cell:
Anode- Cd
Cathode – metal grid containing nickel (IV) oxide. Electrolyte – KOH solution. The overall cell reaction during discharge is,
Cd(s) +2 Ni(OH)₃(s) → CdO(s) + 2Ni(OH)₂(s) + H₂O(l)

3) Fuel Cells :
These are Galvanic cells designed to convert the energy of combustion of fuels directly into electrical energy.

H₂ – O₂ fuel cell – In this, hydrogen and oxygen are bubbled through porous carbon electrodes into concentrated aqueous NaOH solution, which acts as the electrolyte.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 3 Electrochemistry 18
The electrode reactions are,
Anode : 2H₂(g) + 4OH^–(aq) → 4H₂O(l) + 4$\overline { e } $
Cathode : O₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) + 4$\overline { e } $ → 4OH^–(aq)
Overall reaction : 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l)

Advantages of Fuel Cells –
pollution free, more efficient than conventional methods, Runs continuously as long as the reactants are supplied, electrodes are not affected.

Other examples:
CH₄ – O₂ fuel cell, CH₃OH – O₂ fuel cell

Corrosion :
Any process of destruction and consequent loss of a solid metallic material by reaction with moisture and other gases present in the atmosphere. More reactive metals are corroded more easily. Corrosion is enhanced by the presence of impurities, air & moisture, electrolytes and defects in metals.
Examples: Rusting of iron, tarnishing of Ag.

Mechanism:
In corrosion a metal is oxidised by loss of electrons to O₂ and form oxides. It is essentially an electro chemical phenomenon. At a particular spot of an object made of iron, oxidation take place and that spot behaves as anode.
2 Fe(s) → 2 Fe²⁺ + 4$\overline { e } $E° = -0.44 V

Electrons released at anodic spot move through metal and go to another spot on the metal and reduce 02 in presence of H+. This spot behaves as cathode.
O₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq) + 4$\overline { e } $ → 2 H₂O(l) E° = 1.23 V

The overall reaction is,
2 Fe(s) + O₂(g)+ 4H⁺(aq) → 2 Fe²⁺ + 2H₂O(I) E° = 1,67V

The ferrous ions are further oxidised by atmospheric 02 to ferric ions and form hydrated ferric oxide (rust) Fe₂O₃.xH₂O

Prevention of Corrosion
1) Barrier Protection:
Coating the surface with paints, grease, metals like Ni, Cr, Cu etc.

2) Sacrificial Protection:
Coating the surface of iron with a layer of more active metals like Zn, Mg, Al etc. The process of coating a thin film of Zn on iron is known as galvanisation.

3) Anti-rust Solutions:
Applying alkaline phosphate/ alkaline chromate on iron objects which provide a protectve insoluble film. Also, the alkaline nature of the solutions decreases the availability of H⁺ ions and thus decreases the rate of corrosion.

Kerala Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions

Solutions:
homogeneous mixtures of two or more pure substances, having uniform composition and properties throughout. The substances forming a solution are called components.

Solvent and Solute:
The component that is present in the largest quantity is known as solvent.

One or more components present in the solution other than solvent are called solutes. e.g. In sugar solution, water is the solvent and sugar is the solute.

Binary solution:
A solution containing only two components.

Aqueous solutions:
solutions in which the solvent is water.

Types of Solutions
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 1

Expressing Concentration of Solutions :
The concentration of a solution is defined as the amount of solute present in the given quantity of the solution.

1. Mass percentage (w/w) :
The mass % of a component in a given solution is the mass of the component (solute) per 100 g of solution.

e.g. 10% glucose solution means 10 g of glucose dissolved in 90 g of water resulting in a 100 g solution.

2. Volume percentage (v/v) :
The volume % of a component in a given solution is the volume of the component per 100 volume of solution.

Example:
10% ethanol solution means 10 mL of ethanol dissolved in 90 mL of water.

3. Mass by volume percentage (w/v):
It is the mass of solute dissolved in 100 mL of the solution. Used in medicine and pharmacy.

4. Parts per million (ppm):
It is the parts of a solute (component) per million parts of the solution. When a solute is present in very minute amounts, parts per million (ppm) is used.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 4

This osmotic pressure calculator is a tool that helps you calculate the pressure required to completely stop the osmosis process.

5. Mole fraction (X):
ratio of number of moles of one component to the total number of moles of all the components present in the solution.

For a binary solution, n_A be the number of moles of A and n_B be the number of moles of B.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 6

The sum of mole fractions of all the components present in the solution is always equal to 1.
i.e., χ_A + χ_B = 1
Fora solution containing ‘i’ number of components,
χ₁ + χ₂ +……………… + χ_i = 1
Mole fraction is independent of temperature.

6. Molarity (M):
number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of the solution.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 7

7. Molality (m):
number of moles of solute per kilogram of the solvent.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 8

The mole fraction equation tells you that the mole fraction of carbon tetrachloride is 2/9 = 0.22.

Solubility:
Solubility of a substance is its maximum amount that can be dissolved in a specified amount of solvent at a particular temperature.

Factors affecting solubility
Nature of the solute, nature of the solvent, temperature ‘ and pressure

Solubility of Solids in Liquids :
Like dissolves like:
Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents and non-polar solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents.

Unsaturated solution:
Solution in which more solute can be dissolved at the same temperature.

Saturated solution:
Solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at the same temperature and pressure.

Effect of temperature :
Solubility increases with temperature if the reaction is endothermic. Solubility decreases with temperature if the reation is exothermic.

Effect of pressure :
Pressure does not have any significant effect on solubility of solids in liquids because solids and liquids are highly incompressible and practically remain unaffected by changes in pressure.

Solubility of a Gas in a Liquid :
It is greately affected by pressure and temperature.

Effect of pressure
Henry’s law :
The law states that at a constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas.
The most commonly used form of Henry’s law states that the partial pressure of the gas in the vapour phase (p) is proportional to the molefraction of the gas (χ) in the solution.
P = K_H.χ
where K_H is the Henry’s law constant.
Different gases have different K_H values at the same temperature. Thus, K_H is a function of the nature of the gas.

Higher the value of K_H at a given pressure, the lower is the solubility of the gas in the liquid.

The solubility of gases increase with decrease of temperature. Therefore, aquatic species are more comfortable in cold waters rather than in hot waters.

Applications of Henry’s law
1. To increase the solubility of CO₂ in soft drinks and soda water, the bottle is sealed under high pressure.
2. To avoid bends (a medical condition which is painful and dangerous to life caused by the formation of bubbles of N₂ in the blood) the tanks used by scuba divers are filled with air diluted with He (11.7% He, 56.2% N₂ and 32.1% O₂).
3. At high altitudes, low pressure leads to low concentrations of O₂ in blood. It causes climbers to become weak and unable to think clearly (anoxia).

Effect of temperature :
Dissoloution of gases in liquids is an exothermic process. Hence, according to Le Chatelier’s principle solubility of gases in liquids decreases with rise in temperature.

Vapour Pressure of Liquid Solutions

Vapour Pressure of Liquid-Liquid Solutions:
Consider the two volatile liquids denoted as ‘A’ and ‘B’. When both liquids are taken in a closed vessel, both components would evaporate and an equilibrium would be established between liquid and vapour phase.
Let, P_A– Partial vapour pressure of component A’
P_B – Partial vapour pressure of component ‘B’
χ_A Mole fraction of A
χ_B Moiefraction of B

Raoult’s Law :
The law states that fora solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour pressure of each component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction.
For component ‘A’
P_A ∝ χ_A.
P_A= P°_A χ_A
where P°_A is the vapour pressure of pure component ‘A’ at the same temperature.
Similarly, for component ‘B’
P_B ∝ χ_B
P_B= P°_B χ_B
where P_B° is the vapour pressure of pure component ‘B’. Rauolt’s law also states that, at a given temperature for a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour pressure of each component is equal to the product of the vapour pressure of pure component and its mole fraction.

According to Dalton’s law of partial pressures,
Total pressure, P_[Total] = P_A + P_B

A plot of P_A or P_B versus the mole fractions χ_A and χ_B for a solution gives a linear plot as shown in the figure.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 10

Raoult’s Law as a special case of Henry’s Law:
According to Raoult’s law, the vapour pressure of volatile liquid in a solution is proportional to its mole fraction, i.e., P_i = P_i° χ_i

According to Henry’s law, the vapour pressure of a gas in a liquid is proportional to its mole fraction, i. e., p=K_Hχ

Thus, Raoult’s law becomes a special case of Henry ’s law in which K_H becomes equal to P_i°.

Vapour Pressure of Solution of Solids in Liquids:
If a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent to give a solution, the surface of solution has both solute and solvent molecules; thereby the fraction of surface covered by the solvent molecules gets reduced. Consequently, the number of solvent molecules escaping from the surface is reduced. Hence, the vapour pressure of solution is lower than vapour pressure of pure solvent.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 11

General form of Raoult’s Law:
For any solution, the partial vapour pressure of each volatile component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction.

In a binary solution, let us denote the solvent by ‘A’ and solute by ‘B’.
According to Raoult’s law,
P_A ∝ χ_A
P_A = P_A° χ_A
Total pressure, P = P_A Here, P_B = 0
(∵ solute is non-volatile)
P = P_A° χ_A
For binary solution,
χ_A + χ_B = 1
χ_A = 1 – χ_B
Thus, the above equation becomes,
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 12
lowering of vapour pressure.

Ideal and Non-ideal Solutions :
Ideal Solutions:
The solutions which obey Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentrations.

Important properties of Ideal Solutions
i. P_A = P°_A χ_A ; P_B = P°_B χ_B
ii. Enthalpy of mixing is zero (∆_mixH = 0)
iii. Volume of mixing is zero (∆_mixV = 0)

If the intermolecular attractive forces between A – A and B – Bare nearly equal to those between A – B, it leads to the formation of ideal solution.

Examples:

Solution of n-hexane and n-heptane
Solution of bromoethane and chloroethane
Solution of benzene and toluene

Non-ideal Solutions :
solutions which do not obey Raoult’s law overthe entire range of concentration. The vapour pressure of such solutions is either higher or lower than that predicted by Raoult’s law.

If the vapour pressure is higher, it exhibits positive deviation and if the vapour pressure is lower it exhibits negative deviation from the Raoult’s law.

Solutions showing positive deviation :
the intermolecular attractive forces between the solute- solvent molecules are weaker than those between the solute-solute and solvent-solvent molecules. Thus, in such solutions molecules will find it easier to escape than in pure state. This will increase the vapour pressure and results in the positive deviation.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 13
(dotted line represents graph for ideal solution).
Examples:
Ethanol + Water, Ethanol + Acetone, CCl₄ + Chloroform, C₆H₆ + Acetone , n-Hexane + Ethanol

Solution showing negative deviation:
In the case of negative deviation, the intermolecular attractive forces between solvent-solute molecules are greater than those between solvent-solvent and solute-solute molecules and leads to decrease in the vapour pressure.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 14

Examples:
1. Mixture of phenol and aniline – In this case the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between phenolic proton and lone pair on nitrogen atom of aniline is stronger than the respective intermolecular hydrogen bonding between similar molecules.
2. Mixture of acetone and chloroform – Here chloroform molecule is able to form hydrogen bond with acetone molecule.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 15

3. H₂O + HCl, (4) H₂O + HNO₃, (5) CHCl₃ + (C₂H₅)₂O

Azeotropes:
binary mixtures having same composition in liquid and vapour phase and boil at a constant temperature. It is not possible to separate the components of azeotropes by fractional distillation.

Solutions which show large positve deviation from Raoult’s law form minimum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition. For example, ethanol-water mixture forms a minimum boiling azeotrope (b.p. 351.1 K) when approximately 95% by volume of ethanol is reached.

The solutions that show large negative deviation from Raoult’s law form maximum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition. For example, nitric acid and water form a maximum boiling azeotrope (b.p. 393.5 K) at the approximate composition, 68% nitric acid and 32% water by mass.

Colligative Properties :
properties which depend on the number of solute particles irrespective of their nature relative to the total number of particles present in the solution. These are,
i. Relative lowering of vapour pressure of the solvent $\left(\frac{\Delta p_{1}}{p_{1}^{0}}\right)$
ii. Elevation of boiling point of the solvent (∆T_b)
iii. Depression of freezing point of the solvent (∆T_f)
iv. Osmotic pressure of the solution (π)

Relative Lowering of Vapour Pressure:
When a non-volatile solute (B) is dissolved in a liquid solvent (A), the vapour pressure of the solvent is lowered. This phenomenon is called lowering of vapour pressure. It depends only on the concentration of the solute particles and it is independent of their identity. The relation between vapour pressure of solution, mole fraction and vapour pressure of the solvent is given as,
P_A = χ_AP°_A ……………(1)
The lowering of vapour pressure of solvent ∆ P_A is given as,
∆ P_A = P°_A – P_A ……………(2)
Substitute the equation (1) in (2)
∆ P_A = P°_A – P°_Aχ_A
= P°_A(1 – χ_A)
∆ P_A = P°_Aχ_B …………..(3) ∵ (1 – χ_A) = χ_B
The relative lowering of vapour pressure is given as,
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 16
of vapour pressure and is equal to the mole fraction of solute.
From equation (4),

For dilute solutions n_B < < n_A, hence neglecting nB In the denominator, the above equation becomes,

where w_A and w_B are the masses and M_A and M_B are the molar masses of solvent and solute respectively.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 19

Elevation of boiling point (∆T_b):
The boiling point of a solution is higher than that of the pure solvent. The elevation in the boiling point depends ‘ on the number of solute molecules rather than on their nature.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 20

Let T°_b be the boiling point of pure solvent and T_b be the boiling point of solution. The increase in the boiling point ∆T_b = T_b – T°_b is known as elevation of boiling point.

For a dilute solution, the elevation of boiling point ( ∆T_b) is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solute in a solution (i.e., molality).
∆T_b ∝ m
∆T_b = K_bm …………(1)

where, m → molality and K_b → Boiling Point Elevation Constant/Molal Elevation Constant/ Ebullioscopic Constant.
Unit of Kb is K kg mol^-1 Or K m^-1
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 21
Substituting the value of‘m’ in equation (1),

Depression of Freezing point (∆T_f) :
The lowering of vapour pressure of a solution causes a lowering of the freezing point compared to that of the pure solvent.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 23
Let T°_f be the freezing point of pure solvent and T_f be the freezing point of solution.
Depression in freezing point ∆T_f= T°_f – T_f
For a dilute solution, depression of freezing point (∆T_f) is directly proportioned to molality (m) of the solution. Thus,
∆T_f ∝ m
∆T_f = K_fm ………………(1)
where, K_f – Freezing Point Depression Constant/ Molal Depression Constant/Cryoscopic Constant.
Unit of K_f is K kg mol^-1 Or K m^-1
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 24
[Note: The values of K_b and K_f, depend upon the nature of the solvent. They Can be ascertained from the following equations:

where,
R → Gas constant, MA → Molar mass of solvent
T_b → Boiling point of pure solvent of kelvin
T_f → Freezing point of pure solvent in kelvin
∆_fusH → Enthalpy of fusion, ∆_vapH → enthalpy of vapourisation.
For water, K_b = 0.52 K kg mol^-1 and K_f = 1.86 K kg mol^-1]

Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure:
The process of flow of the solvent molecules from pure solvent to the solution through semipermeable membrane (SPM) is called osmosis.

Semi Permeable Membrane :
The membrane which allows the passage of solvent molecules but ’ not the solute molecule is called SPM.

Example:
Parchment paper, Pig’s bladder, Cell wall, Film of cupric ferrocyanide.

Osmotic Pressure (π):
the excess pressure which must be applied to a solution to prevent osmosis or the pressure that just stops the flow of solvent.

Osmotic pressure (π) is proportional to the molarity (C) of the solution at a given temperature (T K).
π = CRT, where R is the gas constant.
π = $\frac{n_{B}}{V}$RT, where nc is the number of moles of the solute and V is the volume of the solution in litres.
π = n_BRT
π V= $\frac{\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{B}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{B}}}$RT , where w_B is the mass of the solute and M_B is the molar mass of the solute.
Or M_B = $\frac{\mathbf{w}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{RT}}{\pi \mathrm{V}}$

Osmotic pressure measurement is widely used to determine molar mass of proteins, polymers and other macro molecules.

Advantages of osmotic pressure method:
i) pressure measurement is around the room temperature
ii) molarity of the solution is used instead of molality
iii) the magnitude of osmotic pressure is large compared to other colligative properties even for very dilute solutions.

Isotonic Solution :
Two solutions having same (equal) osmotic pressure at a given temperature. A 0.9% solution of NaCI (normal saline solution) is isotonic with human blood, and it is safe to inject intravenously.

Hypertonic Solution :
A solution having higher osmotic pressure than another solution.
Hypotonic Solution :
A solution having lower osmotic pressure than another solution.

Reverse Osmosis:
flow of the pure solvent from solution side to solvent side through semipermeable membrane when a pressure larger than the osmotic pressure is applied to the solution side.

Uses of reverse osmosis:
Desalination of sea water, Purification of water.

Abnormal Molar Mass :
In some cases, the molar mass determined by colligative properties do not agree with the theoretical values. This is due to association ordissociation of the solute particles in the solution.

Association of Solute Particles :
When solute particles undergo association the number of the solute particles in the solution decreases. Consequently, the experimental values of colligative properties are less than the expected values, e.g. Molecules of ethanoic acid (acetic acid) dimerise in benzene due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 26
Similarly, benzoic acid undergo dimerisation when dissolved in benzene.

Dilution Factor Formula (Equation) … We can cancel each side down using their largest common factor to get the simplest integer expression of the dilution

Dissociation of Solute Particles :
When the solute particles dissociate or ionise in the solvent, the number of particles in solution increases and so the experimental values of the colligative properties are higher than the calculated values.
e.g. KCl in water ionises as
KCl → K⁺ + C^–
Molar mass either lower or higher than the expected or normal value is called as abnormal molar mass.

van’t Hoff factor (i):
It accounts for the extent of association or dissociation.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 2 Solutions 27

Significance of van’t Hoff factor.
i > 1 ⇒ there is dissociation of solute particles.
i < 1 ⇒ there is association of solute particles.
i < 1 ⇒ there is no dissociation and association of solute particles.

Inclusion of van’t Hoff factor modifies the equations for colligative properties as follows:

Plus One Chemistry Equilibrium Two Mark Questions and Answers

Question 1.
“High pressure and low temperature favours the formation of ammonia in Haber’s process.” Analyse the statement and illustrate the conditions using Le-Chatliers principle?
Answer:
The given statement is correct.
N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) $\rightleftharpoons $ 2NH₃(g); ∆_rH =-91.8 kJ mol^-1 Since the number of moles decreases in the forward reaction a high pressure of ~ 200 atm is applied. Since the forward reaction is exothermic the optimum temperature of ~ 700 K is employed for maximum yield of ammonia.

Question 2.
“Chemical equilibrium is dynamic in nature”. Analyse the statement and justify your answer.
Answer:
At equilibrium the reaction does not stop. Both forward and backward reactions are taking place at equal rates. Thus, at equilibrium two exactly opposite changes occur at the same rate. Hence, chemical equilibrium is dynamic in nature.

Question 3.
Pressure has no influence in the following equilibrium: N₂(g) + O₂(g) $\rightleftharpoons $ 2NO(g)

Do you agree with this?
What is the reason for this?

Answer:

Yes.
Here the total number of moles of the reactants is equal to that of the products. Hence pressure is having no influence in this equilibrium.

Question 4.
During a class room discussion a student is of the view that the value of equilibrium constant can be influenced by catalyst.

Question 13.
The equilibrium constant can be expressed in terms of partial pressure as well as concentration.
1. Give the relation between K_p and K_c.
2. What is the relation between K_p and K_c for the reaction, N₂(g) + O₂(g) $\rightleftharpoons $ 2NO(g)?
Answer:
1. K_p = K_c(RT)^∆n, where ∆n = (number of moles of gaseous products) – (number of moles of gaseous reactants).

2. Here, ∆n = 2 – 2 = 0
K_p = K_c(RT)^∆n , K_p = K_c (RT)°
∴ K_p = K_c

Question 14.

1. pH is a logarithmic scale used to express the hydronium ion concenration in molarity more conveniently. The pH of a solution is defined as negative logarithm to the base 10 of the activity of hydrogen ion. pH = — log ${ { a }_{ { H }^{ + } } }$ = —log[H⁺]

2. [H⁺] = 3.8 × 10^-3
pH = -log[H⁺]
= -log [3.8 × 10^-3] = -(-2.42) = 2.42

Question 12.
1. State the Le-Chatelier’s principle.
2. Apply the above principle in the following equilibrium and predict the effect of pressure.
CO(g) + 3H₂(g) $\rightleftharpoons $ CH₄(g) + H₂O(g)
Answer:
1. The Le Chateliers principle states that a change in any of the factors that determine the equilibrium conditions of a system will cause the system to change in such a manner so as to reduce or to counteract the effect of the change.

2. On increasing pressure the rate of forward reaction increases. This is because number of moles decreases in the forward reaction. In other words, the value of Q_c decreases on increasing pressure. As Q_c < K_c, the reaction proceeds in the forward direction.

Question 16.
1. Predict whether an aqueous solution of (NH₄)₂SO₄ is acidic, basic or neutral?
2. Justify your answer.
Answer:
1. An aqueous solution of (NH₄)₂SC₄ is acidic in nature.

2. (NH₄)₂SO₄ is formed from weak base, NH₄OH, and strong acid, H₂SO₄. In water, it dissociates completely
(NH₄)₂SO₄(aq) → 2NH₄⁺ (aq) + SO₄^2- (aq)
NH₄⁺ ions undergoes hydrolysis to form NH₄OH and H⁺ ions.
NH₄+(aq) + H₂O(l) $\rightleftharpoons $ NH₄OH(aq) + H⁺(aq)
NH₄OH is a weak base and therefore remains almost unionised in solution. This results in increased H⁺ ion concentration in solution making the solution acidic.

Question 18.
The Le Chatelier’s principle is applicable to physical and chemical equilibria.
1. What are the factors which can influence the equilibrium state of a system?
2. Explain the factors affecting the chemical equilibrium on the basis of Le Chatelier’s principle taking Haber’s process for the manufacture of ammonia as an example.
Answer:
1. The following factors can influence the equilibrium state of a system:

Change in concentration of the reactants or products.
Change in temperature.
Change in pressure.
Addition of inert gas.
Presence of catalyst.

2. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) $\rightleftharpoons $ 2NH₃(g); ∆_rH = -91.8 kJ mol^-1
When concentration of N₂ or H₂ is increased, a good yield of NH₃ can be achieved. The rate of forward reaction can also be increased by removing NH₃ from the reaction mixture.

When pressure is increased, the system will try to decrease pressure and for this system will proceed in that direction where there is minimum number of moles i.e., forward reaction. Thus, a good yield of NH₃ can be achieved by increasing pressure.

Since the formation of NH₃ is an exothermic reaction, a good yield of NH₃ can be achieved by decreasing the temperature. But if the temperature is decreased to very low value the reactant molecules do not have sufficient energy to interact. Hence, an optimum temperature of 500°C is used.

2. What is meant by reaction quotient, Q_c?
3. Predict the direction of net reaction in the following cases:
i) Q_c < K_c
ii) Q_c > K_c
iii) Q_c = K_c
Answer:
1. The applications of equilibrium constant are:
• To predict the extent of a reaction on the basis of its magnitude.
• To predict the direction of the reaction.
• To calculate equilibrium concentrations.

2. Reaction quotient, Q_c at a given temperature is defined as the ratio of the product of concentrations of the reaction products to that of the reactants, each concentration term being raised to their individual stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation, where the concentrations are not necessarily equilibrium values.

3. i) When Q_c > K_c, the reaction will proceed in the
direction of reactants (reverse reaction), i.e., net reaction goes from right to left.
ii) When Q_c < K_c, the reaction will proceed in the direction of products (forward reaction), i.e., net reaction goes from left to right.
iii) When Q_c = K_c, the reaction mixture will be at equilibrium, i.e., no net reaction occurs.

CaF₂(s) $\rightleftharpoons $ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2F^–(aq)
K_sp = [Ca²⁺][F^–]² = S.(2S)₂ = 4S³
The equilibrium in the saturated solution of zirconium phosphate can be represented as,
Zr₃(PO₄)₄(s) $\rightleftharpoons $ 3Zr⁴⁺(aq) + 4PO₄^3-(aq)
K_sp = [Zr⁴⁺]³[PO₄^3-]⁴ = (3S)³.(4S)⁴ = 6912S⁷

Question 25.
a) How common ion effect can influence the solubility of ionic salts?
b) What is the application of common ion effect in gravimetric estimation?
Answer:
1. In a salt solution, if we increase the concentration of any one of the ions, according to Le Chatelier’s principle, it should combine with the ion of its opposite charge and some of the salt will be precipitated till K_sp = Q_sp. Similarly, if the concentration of one of the ions is decreased, more salt will dissolve to increase the concentration of both the ions till K_sp = Q_sp.

2. The common ion effect is used for almost complete precipitation of a particular ion as its sparingly soluble salt, with very low value of solubility product for gravimetric estimation.

Activity 2

→ To be done by students after listening to the TED speech.

Activity 3

Question 2.
Critically analyse the speech of Chimamande Ngozi Adikie and discuss the dangers of a single story in perceiving people and events in the world. Prepare a write-up based on the points of your discussion.
Answer:
The Danger of a Single Story A single story creates stereo types. The problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but they are incomplete. The experience of Chimamanda Adichie, while she was a student in the USA, proves the point. Her American roommate was surprised to hear Adichie speak English so well and she liked the songs of Mariah Carey. The American roommate could never imagine that a girl from Nigeria would speak English or listen to singers like Mariah Carey. Many British, Canadians or Australians feel surprised when Indians speak fluent English because they think that Indians can’t speak English well.

misinform and misguide people. They had a servant, whose name was Fide. Her mother always talked about the poverty of Fide. Adichie once visited Fide’s home and found his brother was a fine craftsman who could make beautifully patterned baskets. But she knew only of their poverty and not their artistic skills. This is what happens to many of us. We hear just one thing about a person or about a country. We don’t hear other things about him or the country. And so our opinion about the person and the country remains prejudiced. In India there are many street magicians an snake charmers. Many people in Africa and Europe think that all Indians know magic and they can handle snakes like Vava Suresh.

We all have heard the story of six blind men going to ‘see’ the elephant. Each of them felt with their hands a different hart of the elephant. The person who felt the leg of the elephant said that an elephant is like a pillar. The one who felt the ear said that an elephant is like a hand-fan. To the one who felt the tail an elephant was like a stick! They all were right in their own limited way, but they were all wrong about their concept of the elephant.

So before coming to conclusions we should hear not a single story about something, but different stories about it. Otherwise we will remain prejudiced like the blind men in the story.

Let’s find out how language elements work.

Activity 1

Question 2.
Consider the following sentence from the story “The Best Investment I Ever Made”:
“Excuse me, doctor, I wonder if I might introduce myself.”
This is a very formal way of introducing oneself.
Can you complete the following table with formal and informal expressions wherever necessary?

Language function	Formal	Informal
Making a request	I would like to have a word with you.
Offering help		I’ll help you.
Giving advice	You’d better consult a doctor.	Consult a doctor today.
Asking for permission		Can I have a pen?
Asking for direction
Giving options
Agreeing
Disagreeing

Answer:

Language Function	Formal	Informal
Making a request	I would like to have a word with you.	I want to talk to you.
Offering help	May I help you?	I’ll help you.
Giving advice	You’d better consult a doctor.	Consult a doctor today.
Asking per permission	May I borrow your pen?	Can I have a pen?
Asking for direction	Would you mind telling me how to get to the railway station?	How can I get to the railway station?
Giving options	You may choose this or that.	Take what you like.
Agreeing	I do agree with you.	I quite agree.
Disagreeing	I beg to differ on this.	I don’t agree here.

Question 3.
Now, complete the following conversation between Mr and Mrs John and DrCronin using formal expressions.
Mr John : Excuse me, doctor, I wonder if I might introduce myself.
Dr. Cronin : Of course. _____________________________________________.
Mr.John : ________________________________________. I am afraid you
may not remember me.

Dr. Cronin : Of course, you may do so.
Mr. John : I am John whom you once helped. I am afraid you may not remember me.
Dr. Cronin : Oh Yes, now I remember. That was long ago, isn’t it? How are you now?
Mr. John : By the way, may I take the privilege of introducing my wife?
Dr. Cronin : Pleased to meet you, Mrs. John.
Mr. John : Good morning doctor. John has always been speaking about you.
Dr. Cronin !t is good of him. I didn’t do anything great for him.
Mr. John : No, doctor. You did really something great for me. You changed my life entirely for the better.

Activity 2

Question 4.
1. f you spare a few minutes with me, I can convey the message.
2. If the sergeant refused to oblige, the young man would go to the prison.
3. If I had prepared well, I would have performed well on the stage.

Discuss:
Can split the above sentences into two? Yes, I can.

Is there a subject and a verb in both the parts? Yes, there is.
What will you call the two parts with verbs in each of them? Clauses.
Identify the verb forms in both the parts of the sentences:
1. spare – simple present; can convey – future
2. refused – simple past; would go – conditional
3. had prepared – past perfect; would have performed – conditional perfect

Now complete the following sentences suitably:
Answer:

If you had enough money, you would buy a car.
I will come if you invite me.
If you had informed me, I would have come in time.

What was the second event? the coming of the doctor.
Did the second event happen immediately or after some time? Immediately after.
How have we linked the two events?

By using no sooner…. than.

Note: When the second event occurs immediately after the first, they can be connected with “No sooner …. than”. “No sooner” should be added to the event that occurred first. ‘Had’ or ‘did’ is used along with ‘No sooner’.

Read the following sentences and complete them suitably:
1. No sooner had I reached the station than the train left.

The Danger Of A Single Story Summary in English

Page – 95
I am a story teller. I would like to tell you a few personal stories to show you the danger of a single story. I grew up in a university campus in Eastern Nigeria. My mother says I started reading at 2. But I think I did it when I was 4.1 am a reader and I used to read mostly British and American children’s books.

I was also an early writer. I started writing when I was 7.1 wrote stories in pencil with crayon drawings. My poor mother had to read them. I wrote exactly like the kind of stories I read. All my characters were white and blue-eyed. They played in the snow. They ate apples. They talked a lot about the weather and how lovely it was when the sun came out. I had never been outside Nigeria. We did not have snow. We ate mangoes and we never talked about the weather as there was no need to.

Page – 96
This shows how impressionable and vulnerable we are to a story, especially when we are children. Since I read books whose characters were foreign, I thought books should have foreigners in them and should be about things I could not personally identify. Things changed when I found African books. Not many were available and they were not easy to find. When I read Chinua Achebe (Nigerian writer) and Camara Laye (writer from Guinea), I realised that people like me could also exist in literature. We have skin colour like chocolate and hair kinky which could not form pony tails. Now I started writing about things I recognized. I loved the American and British books I read. They stirred my imagination and opened a new world for me. African writers showed me that books can be about different things.

Kerala Syllabus 10th Standard English Solutions Unit 3 Chapter 3 The Danger of a Single Story 3

Page – 97
I come from a conventional middle-class family. My father was a professor. My mother was an administrator. We had a live-in domestic help, who came from a village nearby. Wheh I was 8, we got a new houseboy, Fide. My mothertold us that his family was very poor. My mother sent yams (“kachil”), rice and old clothes to his family. When I could not finish my food, my mother would say. “Finish it. Don’t you know that people like Fide’s family have nothing to eat?” I felt pity for Fide’s family.

One Saturday we went to Fide’s village. His mother showed us a beautifully patterned basket of dyed raffia that his brother had made. I was surprised. I never thought a member of his family could make something. I had heard enough of their poverty, I simply knew only one thing about them – they were poor. Their poverty was my single story of them.

Years later, I thought about this when I left Nigeria to study in the USA. I was 19. My American roommate was shocked by me. She asked me where I had learned to speak English so well. She was confused when I told her that English was the official language of Nigeria. She asked me to play for her some ‘tribal music’ and was disappointed to see that my tape had Mariah Carey.

She had felt sorry for me even before she saw me. She had pity for me as I was an African. My roommate had a single story of Africa. I n this single story she could not imagine that anybody in Africa could be like her in anyway.

Page – 98
Before I went to the US, I did not consciously identify as African. But in the US whenever Africa has mentioned people turned to me. I got the identity of an African. But I get angry when people refer to Africa as if it is just one country. After living for some years in the US, I understood my roommate’s response to me. If I did not grow up in Nigeria and if all I knew about Africa was from popular images I too would think like her. To people like her Africa was a place of beautiful landscapes, animals and incomprehensible people. The Africans, they thought, were unable to think for themselves. They were waiting to be saved by some white foreigners. They saw Africa, in the same way, I saw Fide’s family when I was young.

My American roommate must have heard different versions of a single story about Africa. A professor once told me that my novel was not ‘authentically African’. He told me that my characters were too much like him, educated and middle class. My characters drove cars. They were not starving. Therefore, he thought, they were not authentically African.

I learned that writers were to have unhappy childhoods to be successful. If that is true, I had to invent horrible things my parents had done to me. But the truth is I had a happy childhood full of love and laughter. Mine was a close knit family.

But I also had grandfathers who died in refugee camps. My cousin Polle died because he could not get adequate healthcare. One of my closest friends, Okoloma, died in a plane crash because our fire trucks did not have water. I grew up under repressive military governments that devalued education so that sometimes my parents were not paid their salaries.

All of these stories make me who I am. Giving importance only to the negative things is not good. The single story creates stereotypes. Stereotypes . may be true, but they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.

Write a script for a short video on any one of the following themes. (Or, you may choose a theme other than those listed.) You may shoot it using a digital camera and upload it on YouTube.

Answer:
The following points may help you.

1. Watch other people’s films You can teach yourself a lot about filmmaking by watching: short online videos, advertisements, feature films, etc. Look at what you like, and what you don’t like, and try and work out how and why the filmmaker made it that way.

2. Build your skills Learn how to use a camera and find out what it can do when you place it in different angles or use different lens settings. Try shooting different kinds of shots with your camera, recording good sound, and editing them. Watch a short scene from a film you like and see if you can copy it exactly.

3. Get organised Once you’ve got your idea, create a script and storyboards or shot lists. Use a digital still camera if you are not able to prepare the storyboard.

4. Keep it short and simple Have you got a strong idea? Write the idea down for your film in 50 to 75 words. If you can’t do that, it’s not clear enough. Keep the film short. People are more likely to watch an online video if they know it’s only 60 econds long.

5. Shoot separate shots Learn the different shot sizes. Use a variety of shots rather than just panning and zooming. Use plenty of close up shots to show the important things. Place your camera in different angles and not just from the front.

6. Get the sound right A good movie with a bad sound track will lose viewers faster than bad movies with good sound track. Use a microphone to record the sound right. If the sound cannot be recorded right, then fake it using sound effects, or edit our film to a recorded voiceover.

7. Edit it right Editing is an interesting job. It’s not about just getting rid of the bad stuff, it’s where your film will really come together. Get the pace right: make sure your film doesn’t drag, or that shots don’t flash past too quickly. Make sure your film makes sense. You can seek the help of technicians in this field if necessary.

Question 4.
How did Hitchcock manage to get a large number of ravens for his film?

Answer:

Question 6.
Identify the main topic of the article from para 8.

Shooting films using tigers.

Question 7.
What other details are given about the topic in the paragraph?
Answer:
In the film ‘Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne’, Goopy and Bagha suddenly come across a tiger that is walking about in the forest without paying them any attention.

Question 8.
How did Ray manage to get a tiger?
Answer:
He managed to get one from ‘Bharat Circus’ which was performing in Calcutta at that time.

Question 9.
What is the role of a ringmaster in a circus?
Answer:
A ringmaster is a master of ceremonies. He introduces the various acts in a circus show and guides the audience through the experience, directing their attention to the various areas of the circus arena. In some places, the name ringmaster is used to mean the person who arranges the various performances by trained animals.

Question 10.
What were the difficulties faced in bringing the tiger before the camera?
Answer:
The main problem was how to keep the people safe from the tiger, once it is let out of the cage. In the shots for the film, the trainer should not be seen. On the first occasion, the tiger pranced about. Later, the scenes that were shot were not good enough. The second time the tiger charged towards the crowd, terrifying them.

Question 11.
What does the expression ‘to go down the drain’ mean?
Answer:
It means the efforts were wasted. There was no gain from the work one did.

Question 12.
What was Mr. Thorat’s suggestion to control the tiger?
Answer:
He suggested putting a ring made of thin wire around the neck of the tiger. The ring would be hooked to a length of wire so that the tiger does not go out of control.

Question 13.
What made Ray think of a collar made of tiger skin?
Answer:
The scene to be shot was Goopy and Bagha getting terrified at the sight of a tiger. If the tiger has a ring on its neck, and it seen in the shot, the scene will have no meaning as people don’t get frightened when they see a tiger under the control of a trainer. Ray wanted to hide the wire and that is why he thought of a collar made of tiger skin. The wire will be hidden in the collar.

Question 14.
Why did Mr. Thorat bring two tigers instead of one?
Answer:
He brought two so that in case one does not behave properly, the other could be used for shooting the scene.

Question 15.
Why was Mr. Thorat taken aback?
Answer:
Mr. Thorat was taken aback because of the unexpected behaviour of the tiger. Instead of walking quietly in a dignified manner, it started jumping and running about with a lot of energy.

Question 16.
What might be the reason for the tiger’s unexpected behaviour?
Answer:
The reason was ‘the call of the wild’. When it saw itself in the open forest, he must have forgotten for a while that he is a circus animal! Probably he was showing his original instinct to be free.

Question 17.
How does Ray describe the situation humorously?
Answer:
Ray describes the situation humorously by saying that they were getting to see a strange kind of circus for free.

Question 18.
What did Ray mean when he said, This should have been the end of the story?
Answer:
When the tiger calmed down, they took a few shots as needed. This should have been the end f the story. But when they went back to Calcutta, they found the shots were not clear and they had to reshoot the scenes again at another time.

Question 19.
Why was Mr Thorat asked‘to give it another go?
Answer:
Mr Thorat was asked ‘to give it another go’ because the first shots were not clear and they had to shoot the scenes again.

Question 20.
What was the ‘magic’ performed by the tiger?
Answer:
There were nearly 150 villagers who had come to see the shooting. They were told to keep a safe distance because of the tiger. But they ignored instructions and came as close to the camera as they could. When the cage was opened, the tiger jumped down with a roar and charged towards the crowd. They melted away as if my magic.

Question 21.
What was really required of the tiger in that scene?
Answer:
The tiger was required to pace quietly about without paying any attention to the characters Goopy and Bagha who were exiled into the forest by their king.

Question 22.
What did Ray and his team realize two days later?
Answer:
They realized that this time the tiger and the camera had behaved well and they got the type of shots they had wanted.

Description of the shooting:
We found a suitable bamboo grove in Notun Gram. As arranged with Mr. Thorat of Bharat Circus, a lorry arrived with two well-fed tigers. He brought two so that if one did not do things properly the other could be used. Atripod was placed facing the bamboo grove to mount the camera. The audience was instructed to get behind the camera. Goopy and Bagha were placed close to the bamboo grove so that they could be seen along with the tiger. A five-foot iron rod was fixed to the ground, some 30 feet from the area where the tiger was to walk. A tiger-skin collar with a thin wire inside was placed in the neck of the tiger. The door of the cage was opened and the tiger jumped out. But instead of walking calmly it started running and jumping about. When it became calm some shots were taken.

The scenes had to be shot a second time. A bamboo grove near Calcutta in Boral was found. The lorry arrived with Thorat, the tiger, the steel wire, the special collar and the iron rod. The whole village came to watch the shooting. The villagers were told to keep at least 70 feet away from the scene of the shot. Without listening to the instructions, the entire crowd got as close to the camera as they could. Thorat opened the cage. With a roar the tiger charged towards the crowd. The crowd disappeared as if my magic. Soon the tiger calmed down and the shots were taken as required. This time the tiger and the camera behaved well.

Question 5.
Ray begins his article with the topic sentences, “No one can beat Hollywood when it comes to making films with animals in them. How does Ray substantiate his argument?
Answer:
Ray substantiates his argument by giving the examples of two dogs. He talks the films in which there was an Alsatian named Rin-tin-tin. It acted even better than humans. Later there were some films with a collie called Lassie. It looked as if the director could make Lassie act the way he wanted it to act. These dogs were like stars and they were paid like any other big actor. Their owners could easily get one lakh rupees from just one film. Later we also see how stand-ins are provided even for dogs which are as famous as the celebrity actors.

1. No one can beat Hollywood when it comes to making films with animals in them. I remember many such films in which there was an Alsatian named Rin-tin- tin. It acted even better than humans. Later there were some films with a collie called Lassie. It looked as if the director could make Lassie act the way he wanted it to act. These dogs were like stars and they were paid like any other big actor. Their owners could easily get one lakh rupees from just one film.

2. I saw how these animal actors were reverently treated when I went to the Disney Studio in Hollywood. The main character in this particular film was a large dog. When I went to the studio, the shooting had not started.

Page – 44
The cameraman was getting the lights ready. It is usual for the actors to be present when the lights are arranged. This is to show the cameraman how they will walk, or where they will stand in a particular shot. In the case of big stars, this job is done by their stand-ins. A stand-in is usually physically similar to the star. The stars come when the lights are ready to take the shots.

Kerala Syllabus 10th Standard English Solutions Unit 2 Chapter 1 Project Tiger 4

3. I saw some actors moving about in the set. On one side there was a large dog. The cameraman shouted to everyone to take their positions. The dog stayed where it was. This puzzled me. Was it not required in the next shot?

4. Before I could ask someone, something strange happened. From nowhere, there appeared a little dwarf, followed by another man carrying a hairy dog skin. Then, to my surprise, the dwarf went down on all the fours on a chalk mark on the floor. The dog skin was draped over him. Then he crawled from one mark to another. The cameraman got busy with the lights. The dwarf was the dog’s stand-in!

Page – 45
Every animal in a Hollywood film is well trained. It is easy to train horses and dogs. But in Hollywood there were even nearly a hundred trained ravens! Alfred Hitchcock, the creator of some qf the best suspense films, used them in his film ‘Birds’. Hitchcock wanted different kinds of birds. He needed many ravens. Advertisements were placed all over the USA, asking people to contact Hitchcock if they knew how to get trained ravens.

He got a response from a man soon. The man was asked to come with his birds. He came with nearly a hundred trained ravens. The ravens would not do many wonderful things. But if 50 ravens were asked to perch quietly in a row on a specified spot, they would do it immediately.

In India it is not easy to find trained animals. It is true that some films were made in Bombay and Madras using trained elephants, horses and tigers. Their performance showed that they just obeyed commands. In Bengal, it is possible to find clever dogs, particularly police dogs, that are very intelligent. If one is patient, we can use them nicely as I did with Bhulo in ‘Pather Panchali’.

A dog might be difficult, not impossible, to handle. What is to be done if there is a need for a tiger in a film? When shooting the film ‘Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne’ (The Adventures of Goopy and Bagha), we had this problem. Goopy is banished by the king. Goopy wanders in the forest and meets Bagha who is also banished. They see a tiger and are terrified. But the tiger simply walks about in the forest without paying them any attention.

Page – 46
I decided to make this film. But the problem was how to find a tiger. The solution was to contact a circus as they have trained tigers. At that time Bharat Circus was giving shows in the Marcus Square in Calcutta. Its manager was a Tamilian. We went to meet him. He greeted us warmly and gave us South Indian coffee. When he came to know the reason for our visit, he called MrThorat, vi/ho was the ringmaster. He was also a South Indian, very strong, with features like a Nepali. He was about 40. He showed us a scar on his forearm. It was caused by a tiger.

We told him why we came. The shooting was at Shiuri in Birbhoom. We wanted to show a tiger in a thick bamboo grove. The tiger had to do only one simple thing. It had to come out of the bamboo grove into the open space, walk gently for a while, look at the camera if possible, and then go back. Could the tigerfrom Bharat Circus do it? Thorat said yes. The manager asked us how long we would need the tiger.

I said only two hours forthe shooting and the additional time needed for travel. The travel would take about 2 days. The manager agreed to put the tiger in a cage and send it in a lorry. He then asked us to go and have a look at the tiger. I asked him if it would be okay to let the tiger out of the cage in the bamboo grove.

11. Thorat was not sure. He said that he had never let the tiger out of the cage on his own. I was worried. We could not let the tiger be seen with the trainer in the film. How could Goopy and Bagha get frightened if the tiger is accompanied by a man? We could not allow that.

12. Thorat found a solution. He would tie a thin but strong wire round the tiger’s neck. If the wire was very thin, it would not be seen in the shot. But if the hair on the tiger’s neck was flattened by the wire, the wire would be seen. I suggested to get a collar made of tiger skin, fix the wire to this collar, and then tie it around the neck of the tiger.

13. In a village named Notun Gram we found a suitable bamboo grove to shoot the first meeting between Goopy and Bagha and the tiger. Thorat came to the location with the tiger. There were some 25 people there. A few villagers took our permission to come and watch the shooting.

14. The cage on the lorry was covered. When the cover was removed we saw two well-fed and strong tigers. Thorat said that he brought two because if one failed, the other could be used for the shot.

15. The camera was placed on the tripod and it faced the bamboo grove. The audience was asked to be behind the camera so that they are far away from the tiger. We had to stay close to the bamboo grove. Goopy and Bagha had to be within yards of the camera. At least in one shot they should be seen with the tiger.

16. Thorat’s men had fixed a five foot iron rod to the ground. It was about 30 feet from the area where the tiger was to take a walk. They took a thin long wire and fixed one end to the tiger skin collar. The other end was tied to the rod. The door of one cage was opened and Thorat called out to the tiger. It responded quickly and jumped out of its cage to land on the open space. What followed was totally unexpected. We were all shocked and so was Thorat. Instead of walking calmly, the tiger started running around with great energy. It ran fast, jumped and rolled about, dragging the poor trainer with it. He was trying to control the tiger with the wire he held. But he was not succeeding. We all stood around foolishly, watching the free show! The camera was still on the tripod, facing the grove. The tiger was showing no sign of making its way there.

17. When the tiger calmed down, we took a few shots. But when we returned to Calcutta, we found that the camera had failed to record the scenes with the tiger. The shots were so dark that the tiger could not be seen distinctly from the trees and leaves. We had to reshoot the scenes again. We spoke to Thorat and he agreed to give us another chance. This time we found a bamboo grove in a village called Boral, near Calcutta. The lorry once again came with Thorat, the tiger, the steel wire, the special collar and the rod. The whole village came to see the shooting. We told the villagers to keep themselves at least 70 feet away from the scene of shooting. But nobody paid attention. The people came as close to the camera as they could. We had no time to explain and argue. We got the camera ready and signaled to Thorat.

18. He opened the door of the cage. The tiger came out with a loud roar, and charged straight at the villagers. The crowd, some 150 people, melted away as if by magic. After that the tiger calmed down. Like an obedient child, it walked over to the spot we had chosen, paced about as it was required to do, and then went back to its trainer. The camera also behaved well and the scenes were properly shot.
