2nd PUC Chemistry Chemistry in Everyday Life NCERT Textbook Questions<\/h3>\n

Question 1.
\nWhy do we need to classify drugs in different ways?
\nAnswer:
\nThe classification of drugs and the reason for classification are as follows:
\n1. On the basis of pharmacological effect: This classification provides doctor the whole range of drugs available for the treatment of a particular type of problem Hence, such a classification is very useful to doctors.<\/p>\n

2. On the basis of drug action: This classification is based on the action of a drug on a particular biochemical process Thus, this classification is important.<\/p>\n

3. On the basis of chemical structure: This classification provides the range of drugs sharing common structural features and often having similar pharmacological activity.<\/p>\n

4. On the basis of molecular targets: This classification provides medicinal chemists the drugs having the same mechanism of action on targets Hence, is the most useful to medicinal chemists.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nExplain the term, target molecules or drug targets as used in medicinal chemistry
\nAnswer:
\nIn medicinal chemistry, drug targets refer to the key molecules involve in certain metabolic pathways that result in specific diseases Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids are example of drug targets.<\/p>\n

Drugs are chemical agents designed to inhibit these target molecules by binding with the active sites of the key molecules.<\/p>\n

\"KSEEB<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nName the macromolecules that are chosen as drug targets
\nAnswer:
\nThe macromolecules chosen as drug targets are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nWhy should not medicines be taken without consulting doctors?
\nAnswer:
\nA medicine can bind to more than one receptor site, thus a medicine may be toxic for some receptor site Further, in most cases, medicines cause harmful effects when taken in higher dose than recommended As a result, medicines may be poisonours in such cases Hence, medicines should not be taken without consulting doctors.<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nDefine the term chemotherapy
\nAnswer:
\nThe use of chemicals for therapeutic effect is called chemotherapy For example the use of chemicals in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases.<\/p>\n

Question 6.
\nWhich forces are involved in holding the drugs to the active site of enzymes?
\nAnswer:
\nEither of the following forces can be involved in holding drugs to the active sites of enzymes.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Ionic bonding<\/li>\n
  • Hydrogen bonding<\/li>\n
  • Dipole-dipole interaction<\/li>\n
  • Van der Waals forces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Question 7.
    \nWhile antacids and antiallergic drugs interfere with the function of histamines, why do these not interfere with the function of each other ?
    \nAnswer:
    \nSpecific drugs affect particular receptors Antacids and anti-allergic drugs work at different receptors This is the reason why antacids and anti-allergic drugs do not interfere with each others functions, but interfere with the functions of histamines.<\/p>\n

    Question 8.
    \nLow level of noradrenaline is the cause of depression What type of drugs are needed to cure this problem? Name two drugs
    \nAnswer:
    \nAnti-depressant drugs are needed to counteract the effect of depression These drugs inhibit enzymes catalysing the degradation of the neurotransmitters, nor adrenaline As a result, the important neurotransmitters is slowly metabolised and then it can activate its receptor for longer periods of time.
    \nTwo anti-depressant drugs are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Iproniazid<\/li>\n
    2. Phenelzine<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Question 9.
      \nWhat is meant by the term \u2018broad spectrum antibiotics? Explain
      \nAnswer:
      \nAntibiotics that are effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria are known as broad spectrum antibiotics, chloramphenicol is a broad spectrum antibiotics.<\/p>\n

      \"2nd
      \nIt can be used for the treatment of typhoid, dysentery, acute fever, pneumonia, meningitis, and certain forms of urinary infections Two other broad spectrum antibiotics are vancomycin and ofloxacin Ampicillin and amoxycillin-synthetically modified from penicillin – are also broad spectrum antibiotics<\/p>\n

      Question 10.
      \nHow do antiseptics differ from disinfectants ? Give one example of each
      \nAnswer:
      \nAntiseptics and disinfectants are effective against micro-organisms However antiseptics are applied to the living tissues such as wounds, cuts, ulcers, and diseased skin surfaces, while disinfectants are applied to inanimate objects such as floors, drainage system, instruments, etc Disinfectants are harmful to the living tissues.<\/p>\n

      Iodine is an example of a strong antiseptic Tincture of iodine (2-3 percent of solution of iodine in alcohol – water mixture) is applied to wounds 1 percent solution of phenol is used as a disinfectant.<\/p>\n

      Question 11.
      \nWhy are cimetidine and ranitidine better antacids than sodium hydrogen carbonate or magnesium or aluminium hydroxide ?
      \nAnswer:
      \nAntacids such as sodium hydrogen carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and aluminium hydroxide work by neutralising the excess hydrochloric acid present in the stomach However, the root cause for the release of excess acid remains untreated.<\/p>\n

      Cimetidine and ranitidine are better antacids as they control the root cause of acidity These drugs prevent the interaction of histamine with the receptors present in the stomach walls Consequently there is a decrease in the amount of acid release by the stomach This is why cimetidine and ranitidine are better antacids than sodium hydrogen carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and aluminium hydroxide.<\/p>\n

      Question 12.
      \nName a substance which can be used as an antiseptic as well as disinfectant
      \nAnswer:
      \nPhenol can be used as an antiseptic as well as a disinfectant 0.2 percent solution of phenol is used as an antiseptic, while 1 percent of its solution is used as a disinfectant.<\/p>\n

      Question 22.
      \nWhat are biodegradable and non- biodegradable detergents ? Give one example of each
      \nExplain the cleansing action of soaps
      \nAnswer:
      \nDetergents that can be degraded by bacteria are called biodegradable detergents Such detergents have straight hydrocarbon chains For example: Sodium Lauryl sulphate.<\/p>\n

      Detergents that cannot be degraded have highly branched hydrocarbon chains For example: Sodium – 4- (1, 3, 5,7 – tetra methyl octyl) benzene sulphonate.<\/p>\n

      Soap molecules form micelles around an oil droplet (dirt) in such a way that the hydrophobic parts of the stearate ions attach themselves to the oil droplet and the hydrophilic parts project outside the oil droplet Due to the polar nature of the hydrophilic parts, the stearate ions (along with the dirt) are pulled into water, thereby removing the dirt from the cloth.<\/p>\n

      Question 23.
      \nWhy do soaps not work in hard water?
      \nAnswer:
      \nSoaps are sodium or potassium salts of long-chain fatty acids Hard water contains calcium and magnesium ions When soaps are dissolved in hard water, these ions displace sodium or potassium from their salts and form insoluble calcium or magnesium salts of fatty acids The insoluble salts separate as scum.<\/p>\n

      \"2nd
      \nthis is the reason why soaps do not work in hard water.<\/p>\n

      Question 24.
      \nCan you use soaps and synthetic detergents to check the hardness of water?
      \nAnswer:
      \nSoaps get precipitated in hard water, but not in soft water Therefore, soaps can be used for checking the hardness of water However, synthetic detergents do not get precipitated either cationic part of these detergents contains a long hydrocarbon chain and a positive charge on the N atom
      \nFor example:
      \n\"2nd<\/p>\n

      1. Anionic detergents: Anionic detergents are of two types
      \n(a) Sodium alkyl sulphates: These detergents are sodium salts of long chain alcohols, they are prepared by first treating these alcohols with concentrated sulphuric acid and then with sodium hydroxide Examples of these detergents include sodium lauryl sulphate (C11<\/sub>H23<\/sub>CH2<\/sub>OSO3<\/sub> Na+<\/sup>) and sodium stearyl sulphate (C17<\/sub>H35<\/sub>CH2<\/sub>OSO3<\/sub> Na+<\/sup>)<\/p>\n

      (b) Sodium alkyl benzene sulphonates: These detergents are sodium salts of long chain alkyl benzene sulphonic acids They are prepared by Friedd-crafts alkylation of benzene with long chain alkyl halides or alkenes The obtained product is first treated with concentrated sulphuric acid and then with in sodium hydroxide Sodium 4 – (1 – dodecy) benzene sulphonate (SDS) is an example of anionic detergents.<\/p>\n

      2. Non-ionic detergents Molecules of these detergents do not contain any ions These detergents are esters of alcohols having high molecular mass They are obtained by reacting polyethylene glycol and stearic acid.<\/p>\n

      Question 25.
      \nIf water contains dissolved calcium hydrogen carbonate, out of soaps and synthetic detergents which one will you use for cleaning clothes?
      \nAnswer:
      \nSynthetic detergents are preferred for cleaning clothes When soaps are dissolved in water containing calcium ions, these ions form insoluble salts that are of no further use, however when synthetic detergents are dissolved in water containing calcium ions, these ions from soluble salts that act as cleaning agents.<\/p>\n

      Question 28.
      \nWith reference to which classification has the statement, \u201cranitidine is an antacid\u201d been given?
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe given statement refers to the classification of pharmacological effects of the drug This is because any drug that is used to counteract the effects of excess acid in the stomach is called an antacid.<\/p>\n

      Question 29.
      \nWhy do we require artificial sweetening agents
      \nAnswer:
      \nA large number of people are suffering from diseases such as diabetes and obesity These people cannot take normal sugar ie sucrose as it is harmful for them Therefore artificial sweetening agents that do not add to the caloric intake of a person are required, Saccharin, aspartame, and ulitame are a few examples of artificial sweeteners.<\/p>\n
