Environmental Chemistry JEE Main Pattern SOLUTIONS SECTION-A Ans. (3) Environmental pollution is the effect of undesirable changes in our surroundings that have harmful effects on plants, animals and human beings. Ans. (4) Acid rain consist of oxides of nitrogen and sulphur. Ans, (1) Oxides of sulphur are produced when sulphur containing fossil fuel is burnt. Ans. (3) In Cold places flowers, vegetables and fruits are grown in glass covered areas called greenhouse. ‘Ans. (4) Acid rain consist of oxides of nitrogen and sulphur. ‘Ans. (1) Some of the heat (obtained from solar energy) is trapped by gases such as CO, « Ans. (4) {civo,sa-0,| Ans. (3) Classical smog > Occurs in cool, humid climate Photochemical smog — Occurs in warm, dry and sunny climate. ‘The main components of the photochemical smog result from the action of Sunlight on unsaturated hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxides. Ans, (2) PANN stands for peroxyacetyl nitrate 0 Cll — ¢— 9 —0— NE No 0 Ans, (3) When the compounds (like diethyl hydroxyl amine) are sprayed to the atmosphere they generate free radicals which readily combine with free radical precursors of photochemical smog, Ans. (2) Sulphur dioxide produces acid rain which affect marble of Taj mahal CaCO; + HzSO, + CaSO, + H30 + COyEnvironmental Chemistry JEE Main Pattern 12. Ans. (3) With the depletion of ozone layer, more ULV, radiation filters into troposphere which leads to ageing of skin, sunburn, skin cancer etc. Ans. (1) Itis air pollutant. Ans. (1) More oxygen will be required to break it down biologically. ‘Ans. (1) F ion concentration above 2ppm causes brown mottling of teeth. Ans. (1) Nutrient enriched water bodies support a dense plant population, which kills animal life by depriving it of oxygen. Ans. (4) DDT can convert into DDE Dichloro Diphenyl Dichloro ethylene and both can persist in body and environment. Ans. (3) Farmers normally flood rice fields throughout the growing season meaning that methane is produced by microbes underwater as they help to decay any flooded organic matter. Ans. (4) Heat is trapped by gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, chloroflooro carbon compounds. Ans. (2) CO is converted to CO2 by the microorganisms, SECTION-B Ans, (5) When the pH of the rain water drops below 5.6, itis called acid rain. Ans.
