1 a Combustion of 36 g of carbon in presence of insufficient amount of oxygen [1.5+1.

produced only 66 g of CO2 and another gaseous product without any solid
5
carbon left. Calculate the oxygen used in the combustion process. Also
calculate the total amount of flue gas. =3]
(Hint: carbon has two types of oxides, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide)

Ans:
66 g CO2 is produced from 18 g Carbon
18 g C requires 48 g oxygen to produce 66 g CO2
Remaining 18 g C produced CO (gaseous product)
18 g C requires 24 g oxygen to produce 42 g CO
Total oxygen= 72 g
Total flue gas= 108 g
b In which hypothetical condition the HCV and LCV of a coal sample are [0.5+0.
equal? Justify your answer.
5+1
Ans:
Coal free from hydrogen and moisture. =2]
Dulong formula or concept of latent heat of veporization

2 a Suggest a process in brief which can be employed to separate the following [0.5+0.
hydrocarbons: n-hexane; cetane; n-octane; n-dodecane.in a mixture. What is
5+1
the basis of the process?
Ans: =2]
Fractional distillation.
Boiling point order:
Cetane> n-dodecane> n-octane> n-hexane.
Difference in boiling point
b 2.8 g of a coal sample was reacted with conc. H2SO4. The resulting mixture [2+1=
was then treated with conc. NaOH solution. The evolved pungent smelling
3]
gas was collected in 70 mL of 0.1N sulfuric acid solution. To neutralize excess
acid, 15 mL of 0.2 N sodium hydroxide solution was required. Identify the
element present in coal sample and report the % of the element in the sample.
Ans:
2%
Nitrogen
3 a Propose and describe in brief a method to produce synthetic petrol from coal and [2]
heavy oil.
Ans:
Bergius process with short description
b If a polymer has population as: 20% molecules of molecular mass 20,000; 30 [1+1+
% molecules of molecular mass 30,000; 50 % molecules of molecular mass
1=3]
each 5,000. Calculate its number average and weight-average molecular mass
of polymer and poly dispersity index.
(all % values are in number)
 Ans:
Mn 15500
Mw 23387.1
PDI 1.508845
4. a What are the components of Ziegler-Natta catalyst? Describe the mechanism [1+2
involved in the polymerization process. =3]
Ans:

b Draw the structures of isotactic and atactic polymers obtained from the [1+1
following monomer. = 2]
Cl CH2 C CH2

Ans:

H H H H H H
CH2Cl CH2Cl CH2Cl CH2Cl CH2Cl CH2Cl

Isotactic: all CH2Cl groups are in same direction

H ClH2C ClH2C ClH C H H

CH2Cl H H 2 H CH2Cl CH2Cl

Atactic: all CH2Cl groups are in random direction
