What do you understand by the term, “Ph scale”? What is the important use of this in our daily lives?

Hide | Show

જવાબ : pH scale is a scale for measuring hydrogen ions concentration. pH range between 0 to 14 thus, pH is a number which indicate the acidic or basic nature of a solution. The neutral value of pH is 7. A value less than 7 represent an acidic solution, while a value of more than 7 represent the basic nature of the solution.
Importance of pH in our daily life:
(i) pH of soil in the backyard: Every plant requires a specific pH for healthy growth. The optimum pH required for growth of a plant can be known by finding the pH of the place where such plant grow.

(ii) pH of our digestive system: Our stomach produces HCL which helps in the digestion of food. When the stomach has produced too much acid we feel pain and irrigation which are the indication of indigestion. To face this problem we take antacid which neutralize excess acid and bring relief.

(iii) pH changes as cause of tooth decay: Tooth enamel is calcium phosphate and is the hardest substance in the body. It does not dissolve with water buts gets corrode at pH below 5.5. Bacteria present in the mouth produce acid by dehydration of food particle left in the mouth after eating and thus spoil the teeth.

(iv) Plants and animal are pH sensitive: Living organism can survive in the narrow range (7.0 to 7.8) of pH. When acid rain flows into the river its lower the pH value and makes survival of aquatic life difficult.

(b) Fresh milk has pH of 6. When it changes to curd (yogurt), will its pH value increase or decrease? Why?
(c) What will be the color of blue litmus in a solution of sodium carbonate?

Hide | Show

જવાબ : (a) Upon heating sodium chloride with cone. H2SO4, hydrogen chloride gas evolves.
NaCl(s) + H2SO4(aq) ———> NaHSO4 (aq) + HCl (g)
In the gaseous state, the acidic character is not shown because HCl does not release any H+ ions. In the presence of moisture (moist litmus paper), the gas changes to hydrochloric acid i.e., HCl(aq). The acid releases H+ ions and thus, shows acidic character. Therefore, moist blue litmus paper becomes red.
(b) When fresh milk changes to curd, the pH of the solution is likely to decrease. Actually, lactose present in milk gets converted to lactic acid when curd or yogurt is formed from milk. Therefore, the medium becomes more acidic and its pH decreases.
(c) The solution of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is of basic nature. Actually, the salt dissolves in water to produce NaOH (strong base) and H2CO3(weak acid). The blue litmus will not undergo any change in the basic medium. It will remain blue.

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Sodium chloride (NaCl) also called common salt or table salt is the most essential part of our diet. Chemically it is formed by the reaction between solutions of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. Sea water is the major source of sodium chloride where it is present in the dissolved form along with other soluble salts such as chlorides and sulphates of calcium and magnesium. It is separated by some suitable method. Deposits of the salt are found in different parts of the world and are known as rock salt. The formation of rock salt is due to the slow evaporation of sea water which takes ages. When pure, it is a white crystalline solid. However, it is often brown due to the presence of impurities.
• Sodium Chloride — Essential for Life
Sodium chloride is quite essential for life. Biologically, it has a number of functions to perform such as in muscle contraction, in conduction of nerve impulses in the nervous system and is also converted into hydrochloric acid in the stomach which helps in the digestion of food. When we sweat, there is loss of sodium chloride and some. Other salts along with water. This leads to muscle cramps. The loss has to be compensated suitably by giving certain salt preparations to the patients. These are called electrolytes. Electoral powder is a very popular electrolyte.
• Chemicals from Common Salt
Sodium chloride is also a very useful raw material for different chemicals. A few out of these are : hydrochloric acid (HCl), washing soda (Na2CO3-10H2O), baking soda (NaHCO3) etc. Upon electrolysis, a strong solution of the salt (brine), sodium hydroxide, chlorine and hydrogen are obtained.
Apart from these, it is used in leather industry for the leather tanning. In severe cold, rock salt is spread on icy roads to melt ice. It is also, a fertilizer for sugar beet.
