(10 X10= 100 Marks)
1 Write a note on the formation of scales and sludges with the help of possible
chemical equations. Discuss any three internal treatment methods to prevent
scale formation.
2. Explain howzeolites and ion exchange resins can help in water softening with
possible figures of the set ups. Once the zeolite and ion exchange beds are
exhausted, is it possible to regenerate them? If yes, explain in detail.
3.
a) 0.5 g of CaCO3 was dissolved in HCl and the solution made up to 500 ml with (5]
distilled water. 50 ml of the solution required 48 ml of EDTAsolution for
titration. 50ml of hard water sample required 15 ml EDTA and after boiling
and filtering required 10 ml of EDTA solution. Calculate the temporary,
permanent and total hardness of sampie water in ppm.
b) How does ozone help in the disinfection of water? Discuss the applications (5]
and benefits of this process.
4.
Discuss on the corrosion behavior of an iren bar in different environmental
conditions such as (a) acidic edium and (b) attached to Zn rod (c) partially
dipped in water.
5.
Delineate proper procedures for protecting iron pipe from corrosion which
carries oil from one country to another country and for imparting coating of Cu
inside a hollow plastic pipe.
6.
a) CVD can be used to give a coating of Nion iron rod using Ni(CO)4. Explain the !
statement in details.
behaviour 5
b) How do different factors of environment infiuence the corrosion
of metals? (Mention the iniluence of any five factors)
