Electrolyte : Aqueous solution of the salts of the metal with dilute acid.
2. The metal dissolves from the anode, pass into the solution.
3. At the same amount of metal ions from the solution will be deposited at the cathode.
4. During electrolysis, the less electropositive impurities in the anode, settle down at the bottom and are removed as anode mud.
Example: Electrolytic refining of silver.
Cathode: Pure silver
Anode: lmpure silver rods
Electrolyte: Acidified aqueous solution of silver nitrate
5. When a current is passed through the electrodes the following reactions will take place

(b) Reaction at cathode: \({ Ag }^{ + }_{ (aq) }+{ 1e }^{ - }\longrightarrow { Ag }_{ (s) }\)
6. During electrolysis, at anode silver loses electrons and form silver ions and the silver ions migrate towards the cathode and get discharged and deposited on the cathode.
7. Copper, Zinc etc can also be refined by this process.
24.
Allotropism:
1. Some elements exist in more than one crystalline or molecular forms in the same physical state
(a) In Greek "allos" means ⇒ Another
(b) "trope" means ⇒ Change
2. The different forms of an element are called allotropes.

3. These have many applications in nanoscale electronics, catalysis, polymers and medicine.
Graphene:
It has a single planar sheet of "sp2" hybridised carbon atoms that are densely packed in a "honeycomb crystal" lattice.
25.
Metal excess defect:
(i) It arises due to the presence of more number of metal ions as compared to anions.
(ii) Examples: NaCl, KCl
(iii) The electrical neutrality of the crystal can be maintained by the presence of anionic vacancies equal to the presence of extra cation.
(iii) For example, when NaCI crystals are heated in the presence of sodium vapour, Na+ ions are formed and are deposited on the surface of the crystal.
(iv) Chloride ions (Cl-) diffuse to the surface from the lattice point and combines with Na+ ion.
(v) The electron lost by the sodium vapour diffuse into the vacancy created by the Cl- ions.
(vi) Such anionic vacancies which are occupied by unpaired electrons are called F centers. Hence, the formula of NaCl can be written as Na1+xCl.
Metal deficiency defect:
(i) Metal deficiency defect arises due to the presence of less number of cations than the anions. This defect is observed in a crystal in which, the cations have variable oxidation states.
(ii) For example, In FeO crystal, some of the Fe2+ ions are missing from the crystal lattice. To maintain the electrical neutrality, twice the number of other Fe2+ ions in the crystal is oxidized to Fe3+ ions. In such cases, overall number of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions is less than the O2- ions.
26.
Narcotic drugs: [Opioids]
(i) These are narcotic analgesics. These relieve pain and produce sleep. These drugs are addictive. In poisonous dose, these produces coma and ultimately death.
(ii) They are used for either short-term or long term relief of severe pains. They are mainly used for post operative pain, pain of terminal cancer.
(iii) Eg: Morphine, Codeine
Non-narcotic drugs:
(i) These are non- narcotic analgesics. These reduce the pain without causing impairment of consciousness.
(ii) They alleviate pain by reducing local inflammatory responses.
(iii) These are used for short-term pain relief and for modest pain like headache, muscle strain, bruising or arthritis.
(iv) These drugs have many other effects such as reducing fever (antipyretic) and preventing platelet coagulation (eg. aspirin).
(v) These reduce fever by causing the hypothalamus to over ride a prostaglandin - induced increase in temperature.
(vi) Eg. Aspirin, Paracetamol, Ibuprofen. There are two types in it.

b) Non steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs: (NSAIDs) eg: Ibuprofen
27.
28.

CH2 = CH –O– CH2–CH–CH2(mixed ether)
29.
1. Reduction of oxides of active metals such as sodium, potassium etc., by carbon is thermodynamically not feasible.
2. Such metals are extracted from their ores by using electrochemical methods.
3. In this technique, the metal salts are taken in a fused form or in solution form.
4. The metal ion present can be reduced by some suitable reducing agent or by electrolysis.
5. Gibbs free energy for the electrolysis process is given by
Here,
\(\Delta\)Go = -nFEo
\(\Delta\)Go - Standard Gibb's free energy change
n - number of electrons involved,
F - Faraday,
Eo - Standard electrode potential
6. If Eo is positive then the \(\Delta\)Go is negative and the reduction is spontaneous
7. Hence a redox reaction is planned in such a way that the e.m.f of the net redox reaction is positive.
8. When a more reactive metal is added to less reactive metal salt solution, the more reactive metal will go into the solution.
Example:
\({ Cu }_{ (s) }+2{ Ag }^{ + }_{ (aq) }\longrightarrow { Cu }^{ 2+ }_{ (aq) }+2{ Ag }_{ (s) }\)
\({ Cu }^{ 2+ }_{ (aq) }+{ Zn }_{ (s) }\longrightarrow { Cu }_{ \left( s \right) } +{ Zn }^{ 2+ }_{ (aq) }\)
