NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 6 The Triangle and its Properties Exercise 6.5
Ex 6.5 Class 7 Maths Question 1.
PQR is a triangle, right angled at P. If PQ = 10 cm and PR = 24 cm, find QR.

Solution:
In right angled triangle PQR, we have
QR2 = PQ2 + PR2 From Pythagoras property)
= (10)2 + (24)2
= 100 + 576 = 676
∴ QR = $$\sqrt{676}$$ = 26 cm
The, the required length of QR = 26 cm.

Ex 6.5 Class 7 Maths Question 2.
ABC is a triangle, right angled at C. If AB = 25 cm and AC = 7 cm, find BC.

Solution:
In right angled∆ABC, we have
BC2 + (7)2 = (25)2 (By Pythagoras property)
⇒ BC2 + 49 = 625
⇒ BC2 = 625 – 49
⇒ BC2 = 576
∴ BC = $$\sqrt{576}$$ = 24 cm
Thus, the required length of BC = 24 cm.

Ex 6.5 Class 7 Maths Question 3.
A 15 m long ladder reached a window 12 m high from the ground on placing it against a wall at a distance a. Find the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall.

Solution:
Here, the ladder forms a right angled triangle.
∴ a2 + (12)2 = (15)2 (By Pythagoras property)
⇒ a2+ 144 = 225
⇒ a2 = 225 – 144
⇒ a2 = 81
∴ a = $$\sqrt{81}$$ = 9 m
Thus, the distance of the foot from the ladder = 9m

Ex 6.5 Class 7 Maths Question 4.
Which of the following can be the sides of a right triangle?
(i) 2.5 cm, 6.5 cm, 6 cm.
(ii) 2 cm, 2 cm, 5 cm.
(iii) 1.5 cm, 2 cm, 2.5 cm
Solution:
(i) Given sides are 2.5 cm, 6.5 cm, 6 cm.
Square of the longer side = (6.5)2 = 42.25 cm.
Sum of the square of other two sides
= (2.5)2 + (6)2 = 6.25 + 36
= 42.25 cm.
Since, the square of the longer side in a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of other two sides.
∴ The given sides form a right triangle.

(ii) Given sides are 2 cm, 2 cm, 5 cm .
Square of the longer side = (5)2 = 25 cm Sum of the square of other two sides
= (2)2 + (2)2 =4 + 4 = 8 cm
Since 25 cm ≠ 8 cm
∴ The given sides do not form a right triangle.

(iii) Given sides are 1.5 cm, 2 cm, 2.5 cm
Square of the longer side = (2.5)2 = 6.25 cm Sum of the square of other two sides
= (1.5)2 + (2)2 = 2.25 + 4
Since 6.25 cm = 6.25 cm = 6.25 cm
Since the square of longer side in a triangle is equal to the sum of square of other two sides.
∴ The given sides form a right triangle.

Ex 6.5 Class 7 Maths Question 5.
A tree is broken at a height of 5 m from the ground and its top touches the ground at a distance of 12 m from the base of the tree . Find the original height of the tree.
Solution:
Let AB be the original height of the tree and broken at C touching the ground at D such that

AC = 5 m
AD2 + AC2 = CD2 (By Pythagoras property)
⇒ (12)2 + (5)2 = CD2
⇒ 144 + 25 = CD2
⇒ 169 = CD2
∴ CD = $$\sqrt{169}$$ = 13 m
But CD = BC
AC + CB = AB
5 m + 13 m = AB
∴ AB = 18 m .
Thus, the original height of the tree = 18 m.

Ex 6.5 Class 7 Maths Question 6.
Angles Q and R of a APQR are 25° and 65°. Write which of the following is true.
(i) PQ2 + QR2 = RP2
(ii) PQ2 + RP2 = QR2
(iii) RP2 + QR2 = PQ2

Solution:
We know that
∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180° (Angle sum property)
∠P + 25° + 65° = 180°
∠P + 90° = 180°
∠P = 180° – 90° – 90°
∆PQR is a right triangle, right angled at P
(i) Not True
∴ PQ2 + QR2 ≠ RP2 (By Pythagoras property)
(ii) True
∴ PQ2 + RP2 = QP2 (By Pythagoras property)
(iii) Not True
∴ RP2 + QR2 ≠ PQ2 (By Pythagoras property)

Ex 6.5 Class 7 Maths Question 7.
Find the perimeter of the rectangle whose length is 40 cm and a diagonal is 41 cm.

Solution:
Given: Length AB = 40 cm
Diagonal AC = 41 cm
In right triangle ABC, we have
AB2 + BC2= AC2 (By Pythagoras property)
⇒ (40)2 + BC2 = (41)2
⇒ 1600 + BC2 = 1681
⇒ BC2 = 1681 – 1600
⇒ BC2 = 81
∴ BC = $$\sqrt{81}$$ = 9 cm
∴ AB = DC = 40 cm and BC = AD = 9 cm (Property of rectangle)
∴ The required perimeter
= AB + BC + CD + DA
= (40 + 9 + 40 + 9) cm
= 98 cm

Ex 6.5 Class 7 Maths Question 8.
The diagonals of a rhombus measure 16 cm and 30 cm. Find its perimeter.

Solution:
Let ABCD be a rhombus whose diagonals intersect each other at O such that AC = 16 cm and BD = 30 cm
Since, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at 90°.
∴ OA = OC = 8 cm and OB = OD = 15 cm
In right ∆OAB,
AB2 = OA2 + OB2 (By Pythagoras property)
= (8)2+ (15)2 = 64 + 225
= 289
∴ AB =$$\sqrt{289}$$= 17 cm
Since AB = BC = CD = DA (Property of rhombus)
∴ Required perimeter of rhombus
= 4 × side = 4 × 17 = 68 cm.

### QUESTIONS FROM TEXTBOOK SOLVED

Q1. Who is Mr Lamb? How does Derry get into his garden?
Ans. Mr Lamb is an old man with a tin leg. His real leg was blown off years ago during the war. He lives all alone in his house. There is a garden near the house. It has ripe crab apples looking orange and golden in colour.
Mr Lamb is sitting in his garden when Derry climbs over the garden wall to get into his garden. Though the gate is open, the boy does not use it.

Q2. Do you think all this will change Derry’s attitude towards Mr Lamb?
Ans. Mr Lamb learns from Derry that the latter does not like being near people. They stare at his face and feel afraid of him as half of it has been burnt by acid and looks very ugly. Mr Lamb offers him a new way bf thinking. He tells him about a person who was afraid of everything and locked himself in a room. A picture fell off the wall on his head and killed him. Derry finds that the old man says peculiar things. He is further surprised to learn about the old man’s habits. He loves to read book. His house has many books. There aren’t any curtains at the windows. He likes the light and the darkness. He keeps the windows open to hear the wind.
Derry says that he too likes to hear the sound of rain on the roof. But he also hears people talking about him and his future. The old man tells him that he has all the God-given organs. He will get on the way he wants, like the rest. He could even get on better than them, if he made a firm decision. He tells Derry that hatred is worse than acid because it can bum man from inside. He should not worry about his burned face or what people say about it. All this brings a positive change in Derry’s attitude towards Mr Lamb. He promises to come back after informing his mother. He asks Mr Lamb about his life and friends and recognises his loneliness and disappointment. He keeps his promise and returns only to find Mr Lamb lying on the ground.

Q1. What is it that draws Derry towards Mr Lamb in spite of himself?
Ans. Both Derry and Mr Lamb suffer from physical impairment. Derry has one side of his face disfigured and burnt by acid. The old man has a tin leg because his real leg got blown off during the war. Apart from these physical disabilities, Derry finds signs of loneliness and disappointment in Mr Lamb’s life. The old man tries to overcome these feelings but the sense of alienation felt by him is more painful than the pain caused by physical disability.
Derry tries to avoid meeting people because they consider his face frightful and ugly. They avoid him as they are afraid of him. His parents seem worried about him and talk about him and his future.
Mr Lamb provides him a new approach to things. He tells him to see, hear, feel and think about things around him. He should not hate others. Hatred is worse than acid because it bums the inside. He has all the God-given limbs. He must take a firm decision and work towards it. He will succeed. He should not be afraid of people and they will not be afraid of him. All these factors draw Derry towards Mr Lamb.

Q2. In which section of the play does Mr Lamb display signs of loneliness and disappointment? What are the ways in which Mr Lamb tries to overcome these feelings?
Ans. It is in the middle section of the first scene of the play that Mr Lamb displays signs of loneliness and disappointment. He says that when it is a bit cooler, he will get the ladder and a stick, and pull down those crab apples. He makes jelly. Derry could help him. Then he says he is interested in anybody or anything that God made. It may be a person, flower, fruit, grass, weeds or rubbish. There are plenty of things to look at. Some of them are his crab apples or the weeds or a spider climbing up a silken ladder or his tall sun-flowers. He also likes to talk and have a company. He has a hive of bees. He hears them singing. He sits in the sun and reads books. He likes the light and the darkness. He hears the wind coming through open windows. There aren’t any curtains at the windows as they either shut things out or shut things in. These are the ways in which Mr Lamb tries to overcome his loneliness.

Q3. The actual pain or inconvenience caused by a physical impairment is often much less than the sense of alienation felt by the person with disabilities. What is the kind of behaviour that the person expects from others?
Ans. The play ‘On The Face Of It’ focuses our attention on the physical pain and mental anguish of the persons suffering from some physical impairment. The playwright, Susan Hill, presents the two leading‘characters—an old man and a small boy—having different sorts of physical disabilities.
The old man has a tin leg. It did hurt him when it came off. Then he got used to it. He feels pain now and then in wet weather. He finds it inconvenient to run, to climb a tree or a ladder. He lives all alone in a big house with a garden.
The boy has one side of his face badly burnt by acid. He felt the physical pain then. After discharge from hospital, he feels hurt at the attitude of the people. They regard his face as horrible and ugly, show signs of being scared and avoid his presence. In short, he is disliked, if not hated. He is not accepted as an ordinary member of society. So, he does not like people to look at him.
It is clear that the sense of alienation that these disabled persons feel causes them constant pain. Such persons expect kind and considerate behaviour from others. They do not want tears, sympathy or pity. They dislike being pointed at, nicknamed, mocked at or made a fun •: of. They only demand a reasonable bahaviour from others, full of appreciation of their difficulties.

Q4. Will Derry get back to his old seclusion or will Mr Lamb’s brief association effect a change in the kind of life he will lead in the future?
Ans. (Two different answers are possible. One is being given below)
Derry will not get back to his old seclusion. He has been associated with Mr Lamb for a short time only, but even this brief association will effect a change in the kind of life he will lead in future. Instead of being conscious of what people comment about the ugliness of his face, he will use his head and heart to achieve what he decides to do in life. It is also possible that with his firm determination and zeal to achieve his aim, he might do better than the rest, even those who do not suffer from any physical impairment.
By his persuasive manner and skilful use of anecdotes, Mr Lamb convinces Derry that a life of seclusion and withdrawal from the world is dull as well as risky. The world has many beautiful objects to see and admire, sounds to hear and ideas to think. One should have an open mind and positive attitude. Hatred is worse than acid.
Derry’s mother tries her best to keep Derry with her. But Derry resolves to go back to Mr Lamb to look at things and listen to him. He no longer cares about his face. What he thinks and feels, and what he wants to see and find out and hear is more important. He does not want to remain at his home. He has got clear perception of things. If he does not go back there, he will never go anywhere in that world again. In short, Derry’s coming back to Mr Lamb is indicative of the change in the kind of fife he is likely to lead in future.

### MORE QUESTIONS SOLVED

Q1.“Mind the apples!”, says Mr Lamb. Why do you think, does he issue this instruction, to whom and how many times?
Ans. Mr Lamb issues this instruction to Derry, a boy of fourteen, who climbs over the garden wall and enters the garden. He asks Derry twice to mind the apples which have been blown down by the wind from the trees and strewn in the grass. He (Derry) could put his foot on some apple, fall down and hint himself.

Q2. What is the attitude of Mr Lamb to the small boy who comes to his garden ?
Ans. Mr Lamb’s attitude to the small boy is quite gentle, protective and accommodating. Like an elder in the family offering advice and instructions to the younger members, Mr Lamb advises the young boy to mind the apples lest he should trip. He also advises the boy not to feel afraid.

Q3. What explanation does the small boy offer for coming into the garden? How does Mr Lamb react to it?
Ans. The boy thought that this was an empty place. He did not know there was anybody there. Mr Lamb assures him that it is all right. He asks the boy what he is afraid of. He tells the boy that the house is empty as he is in the garden and is likely to stay there. Such a beautiful day should not be wasted indoors.

Q4. “T ‘m not afraid. People are afraid of me,” says Derry. What do people think on seeing his face? How do they react then?
Ans. On looking at Derry’s face they find it bad and frightful. They think that it is the ugliest thing they have ever seen. They call him a poor boy as one side of his face has been burnt by acid. Some of them are afraid of his ugly and horrible face.

Q5. How does Mr Lamb change the subject from ugly face to ripe apples?
OR
How does Mr Lamb keep himself busy when it is a bit cooler ?
Ans. There is a momentary pause in the conversation. Then Mr Lamb changes the subject. He says that when it is a bit cooler, he will get the ladder and a stick. Then he will pull down those ripe crab apples. He makes jelly. He calls these orange coloured and golden apples magic fruit. September is a good time to make jelly. He tells the boy that he could help him.

Q6. Why, according to Derry, has the old man changed the subject?
Ans. Derry says that people always change the subject. They don’t ask him about his physical impairment. They simply pretend that it is not true and isn’t there. They don’t want the boy to mind and get upset. He thinks that the old man has changed the subject because he is afraid to ask him about his burnt face.

Q7. “You got burned in a fire,” says Mr Lamb. What do you think, had happened to Derry’s face?
Ans. Derry’s face did not get burned in a fire. He got acid all down that side of his face and it burned it all away. Derry says that this acid not only ate his face up, it also ate him up. One side of his face is ugly and it won’t ever be any different.

Q8. How does Mr Lamb react to Derry’s query: ‘Aren’t you interested’?
Ans. Mr Lamb tells Derry that he is interested in anybody and anything. There’s nothing God made that does not interest him. Fruit and flowers, trees and herbs, grass and weeds all interest him. Even stuff or rubbish is interesting. He finds no essential difference between a “weed’ and another ‘flower’ as both represent life—developing or growing.

Q9. “We’re not the same”, says Derry. How does Mr Lamb try to convince him that there is no essential difference between them?
Ans. Derry and Mr Lamb are both of the same species. They represent various stages of growth. Derry is young, Mr Lamb is old. Both suffer from the same physical impairment. Derry has a burnt face. The old man has got a tin leg. But this physical disability is not important. What is important is that both are alive. Derry is standing there whereas Mr Lamb is sitting.

Q10. How, according to Derry, does the tin leg not trouble Mr Lamb? What explanation does the old man offer?
Ans. Derry thinks that the old man can put on trousers and cover up his tin leg. Then no one sees it. So, people don’t have to notice and stare at, as they do at his face. Mr Lamb replies that some people do notice and stare at his disability. Some don’t. In the end, they get tired of it. Moreover, there are plenty of things to stare at.

Q11.“There’s plenty of other things to stare at.” Which ‘things’ are worth staring at and why?
Ans. According to the old man there are plenty of things to stare at. These include crab apples or the weeds or a spider climbing up a silken ladder, or his tall sun-flowers. All of them are beautiful and ‘growing’. Derry is surprised at the mention of ‘things’. Mr Lamb tries to convince him that it is all relative. Then he mentions ‘Beauty and the Beast’.

Q12. How does Derry interpret the fairy stoiy ‘Beauty and the Beast’? What does he feel about himself?
Ans. Derry says that he has been told that story before. It teaches us that outward appearance does not matter. It is what one is inside that is important. Handsome is that handsome does. Beauty loved the monstrous beast for himself. When she kissed him, he changed into a handsome prince. No one except Derry’s mother kisses him. She too kisses him on the other side of the face. He has developed a negative attitude and says he does not care ’ “if nobody ever kissed” him.

Q13. How, according to Derry, do people try to console those suffering from some physical impairment?
Ans. They ask the person to look at all those people who are in pain and brave. They never cry or complain. They don’t feel sorry for themselves. Then the person is asked to think of all
those persons worse off than him. One might have been blinded or bom deaf, or confined to a wheelchair, or be crazy and dribble. Since Derry has none of these disabilities he is far better placed.

Q14. Why do these arguments fail to console Derry ?
Ans. Derry has developed negative attitude. He says that the arguments to console him will not make his face change. He feels more hurt and pained by the comments of persons or what he overhears. Once he heard a woman in the street whispering to another, “Look at that, that’s a terrible thing. That’s a face only a mother could love.” Derry calls it cruel of them.

Q15. How does Mr Lamb try to remove the baseless fears of Derry’?
Ans. Derry has developed withdrawal symptoms. He doesn’t like being near people. Mr Lamb tells him the story of a person who was afraid of everything in the world. So he went into his room and locked the door. He got into his bed and stayed there for a while. Then a picture fell off the wall on to his head and killed him.

Q16. Which fears did the man suffer from? What is the common factor in all of them?
Ans. The man feared that a bus might run him over, or a man might breathe deadly germs onto him, or a donkey might kick him to death or lightning might strike him down, or he might love a girl and the girl would leave him, and he might slip on a banana skin and fall and people who saw him would laugh their heads off. Most of these fears are imaginary.

Q17. What peculiar things does Derry notice about the old man?
Ans. Derry thinks that the old man is peculiar. He says peculiar things. He asks questions which Derry does not understand. There are no curtains at the windows in his house. He likes the light and darkness and hears the wind with the windows open.

Q18. What does Derry listen about himself? How does he react to it?
Ans. Derry listens to what his parents talk about him downstairs when he is not there. They seem to be anxious about him and his future. What he will ever do and how will he ever get on in that world. What is going to happen to him with that bum mark on his face. They say what is going to happen to him when they have died.

Q19. In what ways does Mr Lamb inspire Derry to overcome his physical disability?
Ans. Mr Lamb tells Derry that he ‘has got two arms, two legs and eyes and ears. He has got a tongue and a brain. He will get on the way he wants, like all the rest. And if he chooses and sets his mind to it, he could get on even better than all the rest.

Q20. “People are never just nothing. Never.” Why does Mr Lamb say so? Why does he advise Derry not to hate anyone?
Ans. Mr Lamb says that he has friends every where. Derry says that the people passing us in the street are not our friends. Mr Lamb tells him that they are not enemies either. When Derry says they are “Just nothing”, Mr Lamb makes this remark. He tells Derrry that hatred does more harm than any bottle of acid. Acid only bums the face, but hatred may bum a person away inside.

Q21. How should people be judged?
Ans. People should not be judged by what they look like. They must be judged by their actions. Appearances may be deceptive. On the other hand, people with physical impairments overcome their disabilities and perform wonderful feats in different spheres.

Q22. How, according to Mr Lamb, can one overcome of sense of hurt or humiliation caused by remarks at one’s physical disability?
Ans. Mr Lamb does not provide a straight forward solution. He says that in the street kids shout “Lamey-Lamb” at him. Still they come to his garden. They are not afraid of him because he is not afraid of them. He simply ignores their comments. He concentrates on other things which are encouraging and positive.

Q23. What possibility does Derry indicate in the old man’s act of getting the crab apples down? What is its dramatic importance?
Ans. Derry says that if the old man fell down the ladder and broke his neck, he might lie on the grass and die, in case he was alone in the garden. This observation proves prophetic. The last scene shows the ladder falling back with Mr Lamb. The playwright uses the device of foreshadowing to prepare us for the eventual end.

Q24. What does Deny want to know? How, according to the old man, can he know that?
Ans. Derry wants to know what he could do. The old man tells him that he does not know everything. He can’t tell the boy what to do. He has to find it out himself by waiting, watching, listening sitting here or going there. Derry says that he wants something no one else has got or ever will be. Something just his own.

Q25. What makes Derry think that the old man is always alone and miserable? What does he tell the old man?
Ans. Derry asks Mr Lamb whether the persons who come there talk to him and ask him things. As usual, Mr Lamb says that some do, some don’t. He asks them as he likes to learn. This makes Derry think that nobody ever comes there.
He tells the old man that he is there all alone by himself and miserable. He says no one would know if he were alive or dead and nobody cares.

Q26. Why does Derry’s mother oppose his going back to the old man’s garden?
Ans. Derry’s mother tells him that she has heard things about the old man. In fact, she has been warned. Though they have lived there for three months, she knows what is worth knowing and Derry is not to go back there.

Q27. What argument does Derry give to convince his mother why he wants to go to the old man’s garden?
Ans. Derry says that the old m^n has a tin leg. He lives in a huge house without curtains. He has a garden. Derry wants to be there and listen to things that matter. Things nobody else has ever said. Things he wants to think about. They are not about his face and how he looks.

Q28.What makes Derry resolve to go to the old man?
Ans.He no longer cares about his face and looks. He is more concerned with what he thinks and feels, what he wants to see and find out and hear. He knows that if he does not go back there, he will never go anywhere in that world again. He wants the world. He no longer shuns it or avoids the people.

Q29. Comment on the ending of the play ‘On The Face Of If.
Ans.The play has a pathetic but dramatic ending. Mr Lamb who works actively in spite of his physical disability loses balance and falls down along with the ladder. Derry enters and tries to converse with Mr Lamb, who does not respond. Mr Lamb’s “exit” is exactly the same as envisaged by Derry earlier in the play.

Q30.What other ending would you suggest to the above story ?
Ans.I would like the play to end on a happy note. Derry’s efforts will revive the old man. After regaining his consciousness, Mr Lamb will grant permission to Derry to live with him and see, hear and learn things.

Q1. How does Derry behave on entering Mr Lamb’s garden?
Ans. Derry does not use the gate to enter the garden. He climbs over the garden wall. His footsteps are heard as he walks slowly and hesitantly through the long grass. He is startled when Mr Lamb asks him to mind the apples and warns that he might trip. Deny shows signs of fear and nervousness. He explains that he took it for an empty place. Mr Lamb, the old man, tells him that the house is empty till he goes inside. That beautiful day is not to be spent inside. Derry panics and says he has got to go. He becomes angry to learn that the old man was watching him. He explains his intentions. He has not come there to steal anything. When Mr Lamb again asks him not to be afraid, Derry remarks that people are afraid of him because his face is ugly and frightful.

Q2. What efforts does Mr Lamb make to strike up a friendship with Derry, the small boy, who enters his garden ?
Ans. Mr Lamb is quite gentle, accommodating and protective. He asks Derry to mind the apples as he might trip. Instead of feeling angry over the way of his entry, he points out that the gate is always open and he is welcome. His cordial manner and conciliatory tone touch the inner most chords of a defiant boy like Derry who does not want to mix up with others. On learning about his burnt face, he does not react like others. Instead of exhibit¬ing fear and revulsion, he shows understanding and affection. He admits that he is the same as the boy. If the boy has a burnt face, he has got a tin leg. Gradually, he tries to win over the confidence of Derry by reminding him of ‘Beauty and the Beast’. He then tells him the story of a man who feared everything and shut himself in a room. His positive attitude towards life inspires the boy to talk to him like a friend.

Q3. What is the bond that unites the two—old Mr Lamb and Derry, the small boy ? How does the old man inspire the small boy?
Ans. It is the bond of physical impairment that unites old Mr Lamb and the small boy, Derry. He got his leg blown off during the war and since then he has a tin leg. Derry got one side of his face burnt by acid. Their respective disabilities have not only caused pain and suffer¬ing to the body but to their mind and soul as well. They have to live with their physical impairment. Mr Lamb has adjusted himself to the ways of the world and stopped bother¬ing about what people call him. He keeps himself busy in meaningful activities like pick¬ing apples, making jelly, bee-keeping and preparing toffee from honey. He loves reading books, hearing music, observing beautiful things and thinking about them. He inspires the small boy by saying that he has all the God-given organs intact. He has to decide what to do. He must work for it and then he can outshine even the others. Derry admits that ‘Handsome is he who handsome does.’ For him his face or how he looks does not matter now. He has become positive and has started thinking differently.

Q4. What is the theme of the play ‘On The Face Of It’? How has it been worked out?
Ans. The theme of the play is the consequences of physical impairment on the affected person’s body, mind and soul. The actual pain and inconvenience caused by the disabilities is often much less than the sense of alienation felt by the disabled person. People think that a person who has lost an organ or suffered some deformity such as a disfigured face should either be confined to the hospital or allowed to move in the company of people having the same disability. The playwright does not approve of this idea as it will create a strange sort of world. The attitude of persons towards the victims of accidents or disasters needs com¬plete change. They must be considerate and thoughtful. They must appreciate the efforts of the physically challenged persons to overcome their disability and compete with others. The theme has been worked out through the interaction of two characters—old Mr Lamb and a young boy, Derry. Through his peculiar way of looking at things and asking ques¬tions, Mr Lamb persuades Derry to have a positive approach to fife. Only positive attitude towards life will give one true happiness.

Q5. Compare and contrast the characters of Mr. Lamb and Derry.
Ans. Both Mr. Lamb and the young boy Derry have one thing in common—their physical im¬pairment. Both are victims of these disabilities after birth. The leg of Mr. Lamb was blown off during the war. Derry’s face was burnt by acid. One side of his face looked very ugly and frightful.
Apart from this, they have nothing in common. Mr. Lamb is old, Derry is a young boy of fourteen. Mr. Lamb enjoys company and wants to talk. Derry is very withdrawn and defiant. He does not want to come in contact with people.
Mr Lamb does not bother about his lameness. He has developed love for reading books, hearing music, seeing beautiful things and thinking about them. He is calm and patient. He asks peculiar questions. He forces Derry to see that actions are more important than mere looks. In spite of his lameness he picks apples, makes jelly, maintains a beehive and makes toffees from honey. The gate of his garden is always open. Derry develops a new vision of life under his guidance. He becomes positive and looks happy.

Q6. What impression do you form of Derry, the small boy, in the play ‘On The Face Of It’ ?
Ans. Derry is a fourteen year old boy who is very withdrawn and defiant. One side of his face has been burnt by acid and it looks very ugly and frightful. This incident has made him a victim of inferiority complex.
Derry is highly sensitive to what others—his parents, family friends, well-wishers or even total strangerssay about him. Their anxiety, concern, fear and revulsion pains him more than the bum did.
Derry is quite intelligent. When Mr Lamb mentions the story ‘Beauty and the Beast’, Derry at once comes out with its moral: ‘Handsome is as handsome does.’ He, however, evokes self-pity by saying, “I won’t change… and no one’ll kiss me ever.”
Derry is sensitive to the sufferings of others. He arouses sympathy for himself by making enquiries about the old man’s leg, pain and how he passes his life alone. Derry has the capacity to learn. He is impressed by the old man’s way of life in spite of physical handicap. In the end, he does not bother about his face or looks and wants to see, hear, learn and think and do what no one else has done. In short, Derry is a developing character.

Q7. Which qualities of Mr Lamb have impressed you most?
OR
Draw a character sketch of old Mr Lamb.
Ans. Mr Lamb is the protagonist in the play. He dominates the play from beginning to end. He impresses us as a sensitive, watchful, kind, considerate and sympathetic person. He is quite gentle, accommodating and protective. He is more concerned about the boy’s well-being than the apples.
He is a victim of alienation due to his physical impairment. Though he keeps his gates open and says he has many friends, actually he lives alone and is quite miserable. He loves company and wants to talk. He shares his thoughts even with the young boy.
Mr Lamb is like a modem communicator and a psychologist who believes in drawing out the best of an individual. His tactful handling and peculiar questions make Derry shed some of his firmly fixed notions and respond to the things of the world around him. Thus he is a source of inspiration to the depressed and gloomy.
Mr Lamb is pragmatic. His way of life is an object lesson for all who suffer some physical handicap or the other. One can always undertake some meaningful activities which give life some purpose and aim and save it from boredom. Even in his fall with the ladder, he exhibits Christ-like grace.

Q8. Comment on the ending of the play ‘On The Face Of It’. How far do you find it effective ?
Ans. The ending of the play is quite suggestive. Mr Lamb, who has been picking apples, falls down along with the ladder. As Derry enters the garden, he finds total silence pervading there. He is surprised and shocked to see Mr Lamb on the ground. He hopes it is all right. He kneels near Mr Lamb and announces that he has come back and he is there. He implores the old man to get up and talk. As the old man does not respond to Derry’s repeated requests, he begins to weep.
The ending is quite dramatic and stageworthy. The old man with the ladder under him is a Christ-like figure. It is a pathetic ending, no doubt, but it does not spread gloom. Rather, it acts like a beacon light. The old generation has handed over the charge to the younger one. It is like a soldier making an exit with the satisfaction of mission accomplished. The old man has handed over his philosophy of life to Derry and inspired him to find out what he wants to be. Thus, though the old man expires physically, his ideas inspire Derry to pursue higher goals and Achieve them. In this sense, the ending is quite effective and meaningful.

Q9. What do you understand by ‘On The Face Of If ? Do you think the title ‘On the Face of If is appropriate? Give reasons in support of your answer.
Ans. ‘On The Face Of It’ is used to say that something seems to be good, true, etc. but that this opinion may need to be changed when you know more about it.
Apparently, the play seems to be an interaction between two persons suffering from physi¬cal impairment. Being a drama of ideas, it has minimum physical action. The old man’s efforts to strike up a friendship with a young boy of fourteen, who is very withdrawn and defiant, seems to be the main issue. The old man’s effort is worth appreciation.
However, as we go on reading further, more is in store for us. We learn the mental anguish, emotional starvation and physical distress of the physically challenged who are unable to lead normal life among normal persons. The play is not didactic but it inspires people like Derry, who have some physical blemish, to ignore it as well as comments of people about it. They should set goals for themselves and strive to outshine even the other normal persons. Thus, the title is quite appropriate and highly suggestive.

Q10. Both Derry and Lamb are physically impaired and lonely. It is the responsibility of society to understand and support people with infirmities so that they do not suffer from a sense of alienation. As a responsible citizen, write, in about 100 words what you would do to bring about a change in the lives of such people. [All India 2014]
Ans. Both Mr. Lamb and the young boy Derry have one thing in common—they are physically impaired. Both are victims of these disabilities after birth. Such type of people should not be reprimanded but they must be honoured with. They must be given respect and honour in the society. If somebody looks upon them with pessimistic approach, they may never be able to come out of their sorrow. But they will go into the world of alienation. As a responsible citizen, it must be our duty to provide them a respectable place in the society. Then only they can come into the mainstream of the society and live like a normal people. They must not be reminded of their disabilities. Only then we can play the role of a responsible citizen.

## Chemistry Qualitative Analysis

Analytical chemistry deals with qualitative and quantitative analysis of the substances. In qualitative analysis, the given compound is analyzed for the radicals, i.e., cation and the anion, that it contains. Physical procedures like noting the colour, smell or taste of the substance have very limited scope because of the corrosive, poisonous nature of the chemical compounds. Therefore, what one has to resort to is the chemical analysis of the substance that has to be carried out along with the physical examination of the compound under consideration.
The common procedure for testing any unknown sample is to make its solution and then test this solution for the ions present in it. There are separate procedures for detecting cations and anions, therefore qualitative analysis is studied under cation analysis and anion analysis. The systematic procedure for qualitative analysis of an inorganic salt involves the following steps:
(а) Preliminary tests

1. Physical appearance (colour and smell).
2. Dry heating test.
3. Charcoal cavity test.
4. Charcoal cavity and cobalt nitrate test.
5. Flame test.
7. Dilute acid test.
8. Potassium permanganate test.
9. Concentrated sulphuric acid test.
10. Tests for sulphate, phosphate and borate.

(b) Wet tests for acid radical.
(c) Wet tests (group analysis) for basic radical.

Physical examination of the salt
The physical examination of the unknown salt involves the study of colour, smell and density. The test is not much reliable, but is certainly helpful in identifying some coloured cations. Characteristic smell helps to identify some ions such as ammonium, acetate and sulphide. (See Table 12.1 on next page)
Note:

1. If you have touched any salt, wash your hands at once. It may be corrosive to skin.
2. Never taste any salt, it may be poisonous. Salts of arsenic and mercury are highly poisonous.
3. Salts like sodium sulphide, sodium nitrite, potassium nitrite, develop a yellow colour.

Dry heating test
This test is performed by heating a small amount of salt in a dry test tube. Quite valuable information can be gathered by carefully performing and noting the observations here. On heating, some salts undergo decomposition, thus, evolving the gases or may undergo characteristic changes in the colour of residue. These observations are tabulated in Table 12.2 along with the inferences that you can draw.
Table 12.2. Dry Heating Test

Note:

1. Use a perfectly dry test-tube for performing this test. While drying a test-tube, keep it in slanting position with its mouth slightly downwards so that the drops of water which condense on the upper cooler parts, do not fall back on the hot bottom, as this may break the tube.
2. For testing a gas, a filter paper strip dipped in the appropriate reagent is brought near the mouth of the test tube or alternatively the reagent is taken in a gas-detector and the gas is passed through it.
3. Do not heat the tube strongly at one point as it may break.

Charcoal cavity test
This test is based on the fact that metallic carbonates when heated in a charcoal cavity decom¬pose to give corresponding oxides. The oxides appear as coloured incrustation or residue in the cavity. In certain cases, the oxides formed partially undergo reduction to the metallic state producing metallic beads or scales.
Examples:

Procedure
While performing charcoal cavity test, make a small cavity on a charcoal block with the help of borer as shown in Fig. 12.2. Mix small amount of salt with double its quantity of sodium carbonate. Place it in the cavity made on the block of charcoal. Moisten with a drop of water and direct the reducing flame of the bunsen burner on the cavity by means of a mouth blowpipe as shown in Fig. 12.3. Heat strongly for sometime and draw inference according to the Table 12.3.

To obtain a reducing flame with the help of a mouth blow pipe, make the bunsen burner flame luminous by closing the air holes of the burner. Keep the nozzle of the blow pipe just outside the flame (Fig. 12.4) and blow gently on to the cavity.

Cobalt nitrate test
This test is applied to those salts which leave white residue in charcoal cavity test. The test is based on the fact that cobalt nitrate decomposes on heating to give cobalt oxide, CoO. This combines with the metallic-oxides, present as white residue in the charcoal cavity forming coloured compounds. For example, when a magnesium salt undergoes charcoal cavity test, a white residue of MgO is left behind. This on treatment with cobalt nitrate and subsequent heating forms a double salt of the formula MgO.CoO which is pink in colour. In addition to metallic oxides, phosphates and borates also react with cobalt oxide to form CO3(PO4)2 and CO3(BO3)2 which are blue in colour.
Some of the reactions involved are given below:

Procedure
Put one or two drops of cobalt nitrate solution on the white residue left after charcoal cavity test. Heat for one or two minutes by means of a blow pipe in oxidising flame. Observe the colour of the residue and draw inferences
Note:

1. Perform this test only if the residue in the charcoal cavity test is white.
2. Do not put more than 2 drops of cobalt nitrate on the white residue. Excess cobalt nitrate may decompose to give cobalt oxide which is black in colour.
3. Use dilute solution of cobalt nitrate.

Flame test
Certain salts on reacting with cone. HCl from their chlorides, that are volatile in non-luminous flame. Their vapours impart characteristic colour to the flame. This colour cfan give reliable information of the presence of certain basic radicals.
For proceeding to this test, the paste of the mixture with cone. HCl is introduced into the flame with the help of platinum wire (Fig. 12.5).

Procedure
Clean the platinum wire by dipping it in some cone. HCl taken on a watch glass and then heating strongly in the flame. This process is repeated till the wire imparts no colour to the flame. Now prepare a paste of the mixture with cone. HCl on a deem watch glass. Place small amount of this paste on platinum wire loop and introduce it into the flame. Note the colour imparted to the flame.

This test is performed only for coloured salts.
Borax, Na2B4O7.10H2O, on heating gets fused and loses water of crystallisation. It swells up into a fluffy white porous mass which then melts into a colourless liquid which later forms , a clear transparent glassy bead consisting of boric anhydride and sodium metaborate.

Procedure
Borax, Na2B4O7.10H2O is heated in the loop of platinum wire, it swells and forms transparent colourless glassy bead. When this hot bead is touched with small amount of coloured salt and is heated again, it acquires a characteristic colour. The colour of bead gives indication of the type of the cation present. The colour of the bead is noted separately in oxidising and in reducing flame (Fig. 12.6).

To remove the head from platinum wire, heat the head to redness. Tap the rod with finger stroke, till the bead jumps off (Fig. 12.7).

The identification of the acid radicals is first done on the basis of preliminary tests. Dry heating test is one of the preliminary tests performed earlier which may give some important information about the acid radical present. The other preliminary tests are based upon the fact that:

Take a small quantity of the salt in a test-tube and add 1-2 ml of dilute sulphuric add. Identify the gas and draw
Note:

1. Do not treat the salt with a large quantity of dilute acid.
2. Do not heat the salt with dilute acid.

Chemical Reactions Involved in Dil. H2SO4 Test
Dilute H2SO4 (or dilute HCl) decomposes carbonates, sulphides and nitrites in cold to give gases. These gases on identification indicate the nature of the add radical present in the salt.

Potassium permanganate test
To a pinch of salt in test tube add about 2 ml of dilute sulphuric acid. Boil off any gas evolved, add little more of dilute acid and then potassium permanganate solution dropwise. Note the changes as given in Table 12.8. This test helps in detection of Cl, Br, I, C2O42- and Fe2+ radicals.

Note:

1. As sulphides are oxidised by KMnO4 so they have to be completely decomposed by heating with dilute sulphuric acid before this test is performed.
2. Potassium permanganate oxidises Fe2+ salts in cold. Oil H2SO4 acid is added to the salt and heated till sulphides, sulphites and nitrites are completely decomposed. Then KMnO4 is added dropwise to cold solution.

Chemical Reactions Involved

Concentrated sulphuric acid test
This test is performed by treating small quantity of salt with cone, sulphuric acid (2-3 ml) in a test tube. Identify the gas evolved in cold and then on heating. Draw inferences from Table 12.9

Note:

1. Do not boil the salt with cone, sulphuric acid. On boiling, the acid may decompose to give SO2 gas.
2. Nitrates give vapours of nitric acid (colourless) when heated with cone, sulphuric acid. When a paper pellet or copper chips is added, dense brown fumes evolve. Paper pellet acts as a reducing agent and reduces nitric acid to NO2 (Reddish brown gas).

Chemical Reactions Involved in conc. H2SO4 Test

Tests for independent radicals (SO42- and PO43-)
As already diseussed these radicals are not detected by dilute or concentrated H2SO4 .They are tested individually.

1. Sulphate (SO42- )
Boil a small amount of salt with dilute HCl in a test tube. Filter the contents, and to the filtrate add few drops of BaCl2 solution. A white ppt. insoluble in cone. HCl indicates presence of sulphate.
2. Phosphate (PO43-)
Add cone. HNOs to the salt in a test tube. Boil the contents and add excess of ammonium molybdate solution. A yellow precipitate indicates presence of phosphate.

Confirmation of acid radicals by wet tests
The acid radical indicated by dil. H2SO4 or cone. H2SO4 tests is further confirmed by wet tests.

Preparation of solution for wet tests of acid radicals
The confirmatory tests for acid radicals are performed with salt solutions. The solution used for the purpose is any one of the following:

1. Aqueous solution or ‘water extract: Shake a little of the salt with water. If the salt dissolves, this aqueous solution obtained is used for the wet tests of acid radical and is called ‘water extract’ or ‘W.E.’. If the salt is not completely soluble in water, the salt is shaken with water and is filtered. The filtrate is treated as water extract.
2. Sodium carbonate extract: This is prepared only if the salt is insoluble in water.

Preparation of Sodium Carbonate Extract. Mix about 1 g of the salt with about 2 g of pure sodium carbonate and boil it for 10-15 minutes with 20-25 ml of distilled water in a small conical flask having a funnel in its mouth (Fig. 12.8). The funnel acts as a condenser. This arrangement prevents the loss of water due to evaporation. Filter the solution, cool it and label it as sodium carbonate extract or S.E.
Alternatively, sodium carbonate extract can be prepared in a test tube. A pinch of salt is mixed with double the amount of sodium carbonate and is boiled with distilled water for sometime. The suspension obtained is filtered.The filtrate is sodium carbonate extract. p.g 12 8. Preparation of sodium carbonate extract.
Theory of Preparation of Sodium Carbon-ate Extract.
When the salts are boiled with strong solution of sodium carbonate, double decompo-sition takes place resulting in the formation of the carbonates of heavy metallic radicals and sodium salts of the acid radicals. The sodium salts of corresponding add radicals being soluble in water pass into the solution and carbonates of heavy metals are predpitated

How to Use Sodium Carbonate Extract
Sodium carbonate extract always contains unreacted sodium carbonate in solution which has to be destroyed before using the extract for various tests. To do this, the extract is addified with some suitable acid and is boiled to expel carbon dioxide. The selection of add used for destroying excess Na2CO3depends upon the radical to be identified.
Now we describe in detail the confirmatory tests for various add radicals discussed so far.
Confirmation of Carbonate, CO32-
(Indicated in dilute acid test by occurrence of brisk effervescence and evolution of carbon dioxide).

Note:

1. Do not use sodium carbonate extract for performing the tests of carbonates because it contains sodium carbonate.
2. Perform magnesium sulphate test only in case of soluble carbonates.

Confirmation of Sulphide, S2-
(Indicated in dilute acid test by the evolution of hydrogen sulphide).

Confirmation of Sulphide, S2-
(Indicated in dilute acid test by the evolution of hydrogen sulphide).

Confirmation of Nitrite, NO2
(Indicated in dilute acid test by the evolution of brown vapours of nitrogen peroxide)

Chemical Reactions Involved in the Confirmation of Carbonate, Sulphide and Nitrite
Carbonate (CO32- )

1. Reaction with dil. HCl
Carbonates on reaction with dil. HCl give CO2 gas which turns lime water milky. In case of soluble carbonates this test is performed with water extract and in case of insoluble carbonates this test is performed with the solid salt.

Confirmation of Chloride,Cl
(No action with dilute H2SO4 but decomposed by cone. H2SO4 with the evolution of HCl gas).

Confirmation of Bromide, Br
(No action with dilute H2SO4 but decomposed by cone. H2SO4 with the evolution of bromine vapours).

Note. Chlorine water is prepared by adding dropwise cone. HCl to a small volume of KMnO4 solution till the pink colour is just discharged, the resulting solutio/i is chlorine water.
Confirmation of Iodide, I
(No action with dilute H2SO4 but decomposed by cone. H2SO4 with the evolution of vapours
of iodine).

Confirmation of Nitrate, NO3
(No action with dilute acids but decomposed by cone. H2SO4 with the evolution of brown vapours of nitrogen peroxide).

Confirmation of Acetate, CH3COO
(No action with dilute acids but decomposed by cone. H2SO4 with the evolution of CH3COOH vapours

Confirmation of Oxalate, C2O4
(No action with dilute acids but decomposed by cone. H2SO4with the evolution of COand CO gas)

Chemical Reactions Involved in the Confirmation of Chloride, Bromide, Iodide, Nitrate Acetate and Oxalate

Confirmation of Sulphate, SO42-
(Not indicated in dilute and concentrated H2SO4 acid tests).

Confirmation of Phosphate, PO43-
(Not indicated in dilute and concentrated H2SO acid test).

Chemical reactions involved in the confirmation of SO42- and PO43-

Wet tests for basic (cations)
Preliminary tests such as dry heating test, charcoal cavity test, flame test and borax bead test may give us some indication about the cation present in the salt. However, the cation is finally detected and confirmed through a systematic analysis involving wet tests. For the sake of qualitative analysis the cations are classified into the following groups (Table 12.10).

Before carrying out the wet tests for the analysis of cation, the salt has to be dissolved in some suitable solvent to prepare its solution.

Preparation of solution for wet tests of basic radicals
The very first essential step is to prepare a clear and transparent solution of the salt under investigation. For this purpose, the under noted solvents are tried one after another in a systematic order. In case the salt does not dissolve in a particular solvent even on heating, try the next solvent. The following solvents are tried:

1. Distilled water (cold or hot).
2. Dilute HCl (cold or hot).
3. Cone. HCl (cold or hot).

Procedure for the preparation of solution
Take a small quantity of the given salt in a test tube. Add some suitable solvent into it and shake. If it does not dissolve even after heating for sometime, take the fresh quantity of the salt again and treat it in a similar manner with next solvent. The clear solution thus obtained is labelled as Original Solution (O.S.).

Important Notes:

1. In case some gas is evolved during the preparation of solution, let the reaction cease. Gas must be completely expelled by heating.
2. In case solution is prepared in dilute HCl, group I is absent. Proceed with group II.
3. If the salt is soluble in hot water, and on cooling white precipitates appear, lead chloride is indicated.
4. It is necessary to dilute the solution if it is made in concentrated acid before proceeding with the analysis.

The following table will help the students in the choice of a suitable solvent:

The separation of cations into various groups by making use of suitable reagents (known as group reagents) is based on the differences in chemical properties of cations. For example, if hydrochloric acid is added to a solution containing all cations, only the chlorides of lead, silver and mercury (ous) will precipitate, since all other chlorides are soluble. Thus, these cations form a group of ions which may be precipitated from solution by addition of group reagent HCl. Similarly, H2S is a group reagent for group II. The following Table 12.11 clearly shows the group reagents for different groups and the form in which cations of the particular group are precipitated out.

Theory of precipitation of different groups
The classification of cations into different groups in the inorganic qualitative analysis is based upon the knowledge of solubility products of salts of these basic radicals. For example, chlorides
of Hg22+, Pb2+ and Aghave very low solubility products. On the basis of this knowledge these radicals are grouped together in group-I and are precipitated as their chlorides by adding dilute HCl to their solutions. For adjusting the conditions for precipitation, another concept called common ion effect plays very important role. Before we consider the precipitation of radicals of other groups, let us discuss in brief the concept of common ion effect.

Common ion effect
Weak acids and weak bases are ionised only to small extent in their aqueous solutions. In their solutions, unionised molecules are in dynamic equilibrium with ions. The degree of ionisation of a weak electrolyte (weak acid or weak base) is further suppressed if some strong electrolyte which can furnish some ion common with the ions furnished by weak electrolyte, is added to its solution. This effect is called common ion effect. For example, degree of ionisation of NH4OH (a weak base) is suppressed by the addition of NH4Cl (a strong electrolyte). The ionisation of NH4OH and NH4Cl in solution is represented as follows:

Due to the addition of NH4Cl, which is strongly ionised in the solution, concentration of NH4+ ions increases in the solution. Therefore, according to Le-Chatelier’s principle equilibrium in equation (12.1) shifts in the backward direction in favour of unionised NH4OH. In this way, addi¬tion of NH4Cl suppresses the degree of ionisation of NH4OH. Thus, the concentration of OH ions in the solution is considerably reduced and the weak base NH4OH becomes a still weaker base.
The suppression of the degree of ionisation of a weak electrolyte (weak acid or weak base) by the addition of some strong electrolyte having a common ion, is called the common ion effect.
Application of concept of common ion effect in the qualitative analysis is illustrated as follows:
The cations of group II (Pb2+, Cu2+, AS3+) are precipitated as their sulphides. Solubility products of sulphides of group II radicals are very low. Therefore, even with low concentration of S2- ions, the ionic products (Qsp) exceed the value of their solubility products (KSp) and the radicals of group II get precipitated. The low concentration of S2- ions is obtained by passing H2S gas through the solution of the salts in the presence of dil. HCl which suppresses degree of ionisation of H2S by common ion effect.

It is necessary to suppress the concentration of S2- ions, otherwise radicals of group IV will also get precipitated along with group II radicals.
Radicals of group IV (Ni2+, CO2+, Mn2+, Zn2+) are also precipitated as their sulphides. But solubility products of their sulphides are quite high. In order that ionic products exceed solubility products, concentration of S2- ions should be high in this case. High concentration of sulphide ions is achieved by passing H2S gas through the solutions of the salts in the presence of NH4OH. Hydroxyl ions from NH4OH combine with H+ ions from H2S. Due to the removal of H+ions the equilibrium of H2S shifts in favour of ionised form.

Hence, concentration of S2- ions increases. With this increased concentration of S2- ions ionic products exceed solubility products and radicals of group IV get precipitated.
Radicals of group III (Fe3+, Al3+) are precipitated as their hydroxides by NH4OH in the presence of NH4Cl. The purpose of NH4Cl is to suppress the degree of ionisation of NH4OH by common ion effect in order to decrease the concentration of OH ions.

The solubility products of hydroxides of group III radicals are quite low. Therefore, even with this suppressed concentration of OH ions their ionic products exceed solubility products and hence they get precipitated. If the concentration of OH ions is not suppressed, the radicals of groups IV, V and Mg2+ will also be precipitated along with radicals of group III.
Radicals of group V (Ba2+, Sa2+, Ca2+) are precipitated as their carbonates by the addition of (NH4)2 CO3 in the presence of NH4Cl and NH4OH. NH4Cl suppresses the degree of ionisation of (NH4)2 CO3 by common ion effect and hence decreases the concentration of CO32- ions.

But solubility products of carbonates of group V radicals are quite low and hence even with the suppressed concentration of CO32- ions their ionic products exceed solubility products and they get precipitated whereas Mg2+ and other radicals of group VI having relatively high solubility products are not precipitated.

Analysis of group Zero(NH4+)
This group includes NH4+ cation. During the analysis of cations NH4Cl and NH4OH are added in many steps. Therefore, H4+ ion is detected in the beginning using solid salt.

Procedure
The solid salt is heated with concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide. In case, ammonia gas is evolved, NH4+ is present. Evolution of NH3 gas is confirmed by the following tests:

1. Characteristic ammoniacal smell.
2. The gas gives white fumes when a glass rod dipped in dil. HCl is brought near the mouth of the test tube.
3. When the gas is passed through Nessler’s reagent, it would give brown ppt. in case of NH3.

Chemical Reactions Involved in Group-Zero Analysis

Analysis of group I (Silver Group)
This group includes Pb2+, Ag+ and Hg22+. But in the present context, we shall study only Pb2+. Group reagent for this group is dil. hydrochloric acid.

Procedure

1. To the original solution add dil. hydrochloric acid. If a white precipitate is formed, first group (Pb2+) is present.
2. Filter and wash the ppt. with cold water and examine as in Table 12.12.

Note:

1. If the original solution is prepared in cold dilute hydrochloric acid, first group is absent.
2. If the original solution is prepared in cone, hydrochloric acid, simply add water. White ppt. shows the presence of first group.

Chemical Reactions Involved in Group I Analysis

Analysis of group II (copper group)
This group includes Pb2+ and Cu2+ in IIA group and As3+ in IIB Group. These are precipitated as their sulphides. If group I is absent, the tests for radicals of group II are carried out. Group reagent for this group is H2Sgas in the presence of dil. HCl.

Procedure
Take about 2 ml of the original solution in a test tube’. Make it acidic with dil. HCl and warm the contents. Through this solution pass H2S gas from the Kipp’s apparatus by turning
the stop cock as shown in Fig. 12.10, Formation of the black or yellow precipitates indicates the presence of group II radical. If this is observed, pass more of H2S gas to ensure complete precipitation of the radical sulphide. Centrifuge and separate the precipitates.

Identification of IIA and IIB Groups. Note the colour of the precipitate. If the precipitate is black in colour, it indicates Pb2+ or Cu2+. If the colour of precipitate is yellow this indicates As3+.

Chemical Reactions Involved in the Analysis of Group II

Analysis of group III (iron group)
The cations present in this group are Fe2+, Fe3+, Cr3+ and Al3+. Only Fe2+/Fe3+ and Al3+ are included  in the syllabus of this class. These cations are precipitated as hydroxides by adding ammonium hydroxide in presence of ammonium chloride. Thus, group reagent for this group is  NH4OH in the presence of  NH4Cl.
Procedure
In case, first and second groups are absent proceed for group III with the original solution. Take about 5 ml of the original solution and add 4-5 drops of cone, nitric acid. Boil the solution for sometime. Add to it about 2 g of solid  NH4Cl and boil again. Cool the solution under tap water. Add excess of ammonium hydroxide to it and shake. A ppt. shows the presence of some cation of group III. Filter the ppt. and wash with water. Note the colour of the ppt. If the ppt. is reddish brown in colour, it indicates the presence of Fe3+ and if the colour is white, it indicates the presence of Al3+. Analyse the ppt. and draw inferences as in Table 12.14.

Note:

1. Test of Fe2+. The addition of cone, nitric acid in the analysis of group III serves to oxidise Fe2+ions to Fe3+ ions. Add cone, nitric acid only if the cation is Fe2+ otherwise the addition of nitric acid may be avoided. To test this, add a few drops of potassium ferricyanide solution to the original salt solution. A deep blue colouration shows Fe2+.
2. Use sufficient quantity of ammonium chloride, otherwise the hydroxides of higher group may be precipitated along with the radicals of third group.
3. Add NH4OH until the solution gives the smell of ammonia.

Chemical Reactions Involved in the Analysis of Group III

Analysis of group IV (Zinc group)
The radicals present in this group are CO2+, Ni2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+. These are precipitated as sulphides by passing H2S gas through the ammonical solution of the salt.
The group reagent for this group is H2S  gas in the presence of NH4Cl and NH4OH.

Procedure
If there is no ppt. in the third group, then use the same ammonical solution for the fourth group. Pass H2S gas through the solution. If some ppt. is formed, presence of some radical of group IV is indicated. Filter the ppt. and wash it with water. Note the colour of the ppt. and analyse the ppt. according to the Table 12.15.

Chemical Reactions Involved in the Analysis of Group IV
Passing of H2S gas through the group III solution will precipitate the radicals CO2+, Ni2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ as their sulphides. Formation of black ppt. (CoS or NiS) indicates cobalt or nickel. Formation of buff-coloured ppt. (MnS) indicates manganese and dirty white ppt. (ZnS) indictes zinc

2.Ammonium thiocyanate ether test
On addition of ether and a crystal of ammonium thiocyanate (shaking and allowing to stand), a blue colour due to the formation of ammonium cobhlti thiocyanate, is obtained in the ethereal layer.

Analysis of group V (calcium group)
Group V consists of three radicals: Ba2+, Sr2+ and Ca2+. These cations are precipitated as their carbonates.
Group reagent for this group is (NH4)2CO3 in the presence ofNH4Cl and NH4OH.

Procedure
If the fourth group is absent, then proceed for radicals of group V.
To the O.S. add 2-3 gins of solid NH4Cl, boil, cool and add NH4OH till the solution smells of ammonia. Then add (NH4)2CO3 solution. Appearance of white ppt. indicates the presence of group V cation. Filter and wash the ppt. with water. Dissolve the ppt. in hot dil. acetic acid. Divide the solution into three parts and proceed as in Table 12.16.

Note:

1. Proceed to test for group V cations in the order, Ba2+, Sr2+ and Ca2+. If Ba2+ is confirmed, do not test for Sr2+ or Ca2+ Similarly if Sr2+ is confirmed, do not test for Ca2+.
2. Original solution can be preferably used for testing Sr2+ and Ca2+.

Chemical Reactions Involved in the Analysis of Group V Radicals

When (NH4)2CO3 is added to a salt solution containing NH4Cl and NH4OH, the carbonates of Ba2+, Sr2+ and Ca2+ are precipitated.

Analysis of group VI (Magnesium group)

Extra Questions On Mensuration For Class 6 Question 13.
A rectangle and a square have the same perimeter 100 cm. Find the side of the square. If the rectangle has a breadth 2 cm less than that of the square. Find the breadth, length and area of the rectangle.
Solution:
Perimeter of the square = 100 cm
Perimeter 100

= 25 cm.
∴ Breadth of the rectangle = 25 cm – 2 cm = 23 cm
Now perimeter of the rectangle = 100 cm
∴ 2 [length + breadth] = 100
length + breadth = 100 ÷ 2 = 50 cm
∴ Length = 50 cm – 23 cm = 27 cm
Now, Area of the rectangle
= length x breadth = 27 cm x 23 cm
= 621 sq cm.

Mensuration Class 6 Question Bank Question 14.
Fencing the compound of a house costs ₹5452. If the rate is ₹94 per metre, find the perimeter of the compound. If the breadth is 10 m, find its length.
Solution:
Cost of fencing the compound = ₹5452
and the rate of fencing = ₹94 per metre
∴ Perimeter of the compound = 5452 ÷ 94 = 58 metres
Now breadth of the compound = 10 m.
2 [length + breadth] = 58 m
∴ length + breadth = 58 + 2 m = 29 m
∴ Length of the compound = 29 m – 10 m = 19 m.

Answer Goodwill is an intangible asset of a firm that is earned by the efforts of all the partners of the firm.

Question 4. Discuss the various methods of computing the share in profits in the event of death of a partner.
Answer Computation of profit will be different in case of death of a partner as compare to the retirement. The reason is that in case of retirement everything is pre-planned but in case of death nothing is planned. In case of death, the share of profit.can be calculated by one of the two methods.
(i) On the Basis of Time
In this method, profit upto the date of the death of the partner is calculated on the basis of time passed till the death of the partner from the beginning of the year on the bases of the last year’s/years’ profit or average profit of last few years.
The assumption in this method is that the profit will be uniform throughout the current year. The share of the deceased partner profit will be calculated as follows

Example A, B, C and D are equal partners. The profit of the firm for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011 are ? 5,00,000, ? 7,00.000 and <9,00,000 respectively. C dies on June 30, 2012. The share of C in the firm’s profit will be calculated on the basis of average profit of last three years. Firm closes its books every year on December 31.
In this case, C’s share in the profits will be calculated for four months. i e., from January 1. 2012

(ii) On the Basis of Sale
In this method, profit up to the date of the death of the partner is calculated on the basis of sales affected till the date of the’ death of the partner from the beginning of the year. The assumption in this method is that the net profit margin for current year will be same as the previous year. The share of the deceased partner profit will be calculated as follows

Example A, B and C are equal partners. The last year’s sales and profit were ? 40,00,000 and ? 4,00,000. C died on June, 2012. Sales of the current year till the date of C’s death amounts to ? 15,00,000. Firm closes its books on December 31 every year.

The persistent build-up of toxic compounds in the soil is defined as soil pollution. To prevent soil pollution, its causes must be controlled.

1. Reduce the use of plastics: Plastics and polythene bags destroy the fertility of soil. Hence, these should be disposed off properly and if possible, their use should be avoided.
2. Industrial pollutants: Some waste products from industries and homes pollute soil. These pollutants should be treated chemically to make them harmless before they are disposed off.
3. Insecticides: Other pollutants of soil include pesticides and insecticides. Therefore, excessive use of these substances should be avoided.

Prevention of soil erosion:
Removal of the upper fertile layer of the soil (top soil) by strong wind and flowing water is known as soil erosion. Following steps can be taken to reduce soil erosion:

1. Mass awareness to reduce deforestation for industrial purposes.
2. Helping local people to regenerate degrading forest.
3. Planting trees.

Exercise 14.2

Ex 14.2 Class 6 Maths Question 1.
Draw a line segment of length 7.3 cm using ruler.
Solution:
Step I: Mark at point P.
Step II : Place the O mark of the ruler against the point P.
Step III : Mark a point Q at a distance of 7.3 cm from P.
Step IV : Join P and Q.

Thus $$\overline { PQ }$$ is the line segment of length 7.3 cm.

Ex 14.2 Class 6 Maths Question 2.
Construct a line segment of length 5.6 cm using ruler and compass.
Solution:
Step I: Draw any line L of suitable lengths.
Step II : Place the needle of the compass on the zero mark of the ruler and open it upto 5.6 mark.
Step III : Place the needle at any point A at the line and draw an arc to cut l at B.

Thus, $$\overline { AB }$$ is the required line segment of length 5.6 cm.

Ex 14.2 Class 6 Maths Question 3.
Construct $$\overline { AB }$$ of length 7.8 cm. From this, cut off $$\overline { AC }$$ of length 4.7 cm. Measure $$\overline { BC }$$ .
Solution:
Given that $$\overline { AB }$$ = 7.8 cm and $$\overline { AC }$$ = 4.7 cm.
Step I : Place zero mark of the ruler at A.
Step II : Mark a point B at a distance of 7.8 cm from A.
Step III : Mark another point C at a distance of 4.7 cm from A such that AC = 4.7 cm.
Step IV : On measuring the length of BC, we find that $$\overline { BC }$$ = 3.1 cm.

Ex 14.2 Class 6 Maths Question 4.
Given $$\overline { AB }$$ of length 3.9 cm. Construct $$\overline { PQ }$$ such that the length of $$\overline { PQ }$$ is twice that of $$\overline { AB }$$. Verify by measurement.

(Hint : Construct $$\overline { PX }$$ such that the length of $$\overline { PX }$$ = length of $$\overline { AB }$$ then cut off $$\overline { XQ }$$ such that $$\overline { XQ }$$ also has the length of $$\overline { AB }$$.
Solution:
Step I: Draw a line l of suitable length.
Step II: Draw $$\overline { AB }$$ = 3.9 cm
Step III: From the line, construct $$\overline { PX }$$ = $$\overline { AB }$$ = 3.9 cm.
Step IV: Again construct $$\overline { XQ }$$= $$\overline { AB }$$ =3.9 cm
Verification: $$\overline { PX }$$ + $$\overline { XQ }$$ = $$\overline { AB }$$ + $$\overline { AB }$$

Thus twice of $$\overline { AB }$$ is equal to $$\overline { PQ }$$

Ex 14.2 Class 6 Maths Question 5.
Given $$\overline { AB }$$ of length 7.3 cm and $$\overline { CD }$$ of length 3.4 cm, construct a line segment $$\overline { XY }$$ such that the length of XY is equal to the difference between the length of $$\overline { AB }$$ and $$\overline { CD }$$ . Verify the measurement.
Solution:
Step I : Construct $$\overline { AB }$$ = 7.3 cm and $$\overline { CD }$$ = 3.4 cm.

Step II: Take a point P on the given line l.
Step III: Construct $$\overline { PR }$$ such that $$\overline { PR }$$ = $$\overline { AB }$$ = $$\overline { AB }$$ = 7.3 cm.
Step IV:Construct $$\overline { RQ }$$ = $$\overline { CD }$$ = 3.4 cm such that PQ = $$\overline { AB }$$ – $$\overline { CD }$$ .
Verification : On measuring, we observe that $$\overline { PQ }$$ = 3.9 cm = 7.3 cm 3.4 cm.
= $$\overline { AB }$$ – $$\overline { CD }$$
Thus, $$\overline { PQ }$$ = $$\overline { AB }$$ – $$\overline { CD }$$.
