Q:

Order of basicity of amines

Answer

The order of basicity for primary, secondary and tertiary amines are:


Secondary > Primary > Tertiary > NH3


 


* Amines are basic in nature as they have lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. Therefore, they have a strong tendency to donate this lone pair of electrons to electron acceptors.


* The stability of conjugate acids formed is dependent on the extent of H-bonding,and greater the number of H-atoms on N more stable is the conjugate acid.


* The conjugate acid of primary amine is the most stable with greater number (3) of H-bonds than > Secondary > tertiary. But primary amines are less basic than secondary as the electron density on the N atom is less and lone pair of electrons are not readily available for protonation.


* The two opposing factors i.e. the stability of conjugate acids formed and ease of availability of electrons for Protonation, balance each other in case of secondary amines and it is most basic.

Q:

The greenhouse effect is caused by

A) Deforestation B) Burning of Fossil Fuels
C) Increase in Population D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

The major greenhouse gases (GHG’s) solely responsible for greenhouse effect are Carbon dioxide, Ozone, Methane and Water vapor. Although these gases comprise 1% of our atmosphere, they act like a thick warm blanket outside that surrounds this planet and regulate climate control. Greenhouse effect is not bad. In fact, it is needed for all of us to survive on planet Earth. In short, the greenhouse effect is nothing but a naturally occurring process designed by nature that aids in heating earth’s surface and helps to maintain ecological balance.

Now, while some of that heat dissipates into space, some of it burns along the atmosphere, and some of it penetrates the atmosphere and finds its way into the lower atmosphere and the planet’s surface. This in turn raises the average temperature of the Earth. Therefore, the increase in the Earth’s surface temperature due to increase in the number of greenhouse gases leads to global warming.

 

Causes of Green House Effects ::

 

* Burning of Fossil Fuels

* Deforestation 

* Increase in Population

* Farming

* Industrial Waste and Landfills.
