Environmental Chemistry

In "Environmental Chemistry" lesson, two 2 marks questions are appearing in every year exams. Mention the 2 names of green chemists who won the Nobel prize in 2005, Explain the terms TLV, BOD (and values of clean and polluted water), COD, Sink, Pollutant, Contaminant, Green house effect, (def., gases, causes, harmful effects), ozone depletion (def., causes, ill effects, where was it first observed), Acid rains (def., causes, pH, gases causing acid rains, harmful effects).

IPE Junior Inter Chemistry Important Questions - Acids, Bases and Hydrozen

Thermodynamics: Most of the times two 2 marks or one 4 marks questions are asked from "Thermodynamics". Learn all
the basics of the lesson as they are inter related with chemical equilibrium and electro chemistry.

Hess's law of constant heat summation, Born-Haber Cycle are important for 4 marks.
Enthalpy, Entropy, Gibbs energy, 1st, 2nd, 3rd laws of thermodynamics, relationship between CP and CV, extensive & intensive properties, heat capacity, problems on ΔH = Δ U + Δn R T, heat of formation, heat of combustion,
heat of ionisation, ΔG, ΔS, effect of temperature on spontaneity of reactions are important for 2 marks.

Chemical Equilibrium, Acids - Bases

Even in March 2013 exam one 2 marks and one 4 marks question is asked, there is a possibility of one 8 marks question from "Chemical Equilibrium and Acids-Bases". Learn Lechatlier's principle, and Synthesis of SO3 &
NH3 for 8 Marks.

Stoichiometry

Though one 2 marks and one 4 marks questions were given from 'Stoichiometry' till now, all the concepts are to be learned. One can say "Stoichiometry" is the heart of Chemistry.

Without clarity, perfection in this lesson, one cannot understand most of the physical chemistry topics.
Mole, equivalent weight, oxidation number concepts, balancing of equations in acid & base medium by ion-electron method, problems of E.F., M.F., weight-weight, weight-volume, volume-volume relations, types of redox reactions are very important.

Practice all the questions from the boxes given in every lesson as they may be asked in board examination.
One must prepare for all the competitive examinations parallel to IPE.
