*An important message for all those who are in teaching profession*

Dear Teachers, Please read.....

Teachers have a very unique problem with regard to appetite and satiety. On an average, they are speaking loudly for 4-5 hours in addition to the regular daily conversations. Unfortunately, the calories that they burn with speaking do not help in weight management and their fitness levels.
The practical problems:
1. They build up a big appetite because of the constant talking.
2. They develop wind or gas in their stomachs. The wind makes it difficult for them to eat even though they are hungry.
3. Eating on time may not be always possible because they have back to back classes apart from the routine administrative work.
4. Most teachers forget to drink water as they go to different classes and do not carry water bottles with them.
What are the health problems they face?
1. Acidity issues due to the gas formation and inability to eat.
2. Acid reflux which leaves them with a dry cough or a sore throat.
3. Water retention and weight gain due to inadequate water consumption.
4. Skin problems due to less water consumption.
5. Hormonal imbalance due to inadequate water consumption leading to weight gain.
What can you do?
1. As difficult as it may sound, carry a small bottle of water and a small snack like biscuits with you at all times. The chances of you drinking water when it is readily available are much higher.
2. Stay sufficiently hydrated throughout the day. Aim for a minimum of 1 litre of water during work hours.
3. Do a plain water gargle once in the morning and once before bedtime. If you tend to have dry cough or acid reflux frequently, use saunf water for gargling. Saunf or fennel seeds are traditionally used in India to reduce the mouth acidity after a meal. The seeds can be dropped into a glass of water, allowed to stand for 5 mins and then strained. The clear water can be used as a gargle.
4. Eat every 2 hours. You can either split up your lunch into 2 packets or just eat half your lunch as a mid morning snack.
5. Always eat biscuits along with the coffee or tea during your breaks. The biscuits soak up the beverage and do not allow acid reflux.

If you are in the teaching profession, please understand that there will be fewer of you as the years go by. It takes a big heart to be in this profession. For you, you could be just a teacher but to your students you are their hero! Please take care of your health.

5. The types of water are:
(i)Hard water and;
(ii)Soft water.

6. What is hard water?
Hard water is water that does not lather readily with soap. It contains a number of dissolved salts, the most important being calcium tetraoxosulphate (vi) and calcium hydrogentrioxocarbonate (iv).
CaSO4 - Calcium tetraoxosulphate (vi).
Ca(HCO3)2 - Calcium hydrogentrioxocarbonate (iv).

7. State the origin of hard water?
Water acquire hardness when it dissolves gypsum, calcium tetraoxosulphate (vi) dihydrate (CaSO4.2H2O), or limestone, CaCO3, from the soil over which it flows.
Gypsum is sparingly soluble in water but limestone is not.
Water which contains carbon (iv) oxide is capable of dissolving small quantities of limestone.
CaCO3(s) + CO2(g) +H2O(l) ------> Ca(HCO3)2(aq).

8. State the two types of hard water?
(I) Temporary hard water
(ii) Permanent hard water.

9. State the cause and cure of temporary hardness? In what ways can primary hardness be removed?

>> Temporary hardness of water can be easily removed by boiling. This hardness is caused by the presence of dissolved calcium hydrogentrioxocarbonate (iv), Ca(HCO3)2, which decompose on heating.
The calcium trioxocarbonate (iv), CaCO3 formed is insoluble and this brings the calcium ions out of the solution as precipitate.
Ca(HCO3)2(aq) ---boil----> CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

10. Discuss the effect of temporary hardness?
The effect of temporary hardness are:
(i) Furring of kettles and boilers.
(ii) Stalagmites and stalactites.
(a)Furring of kettles and boilers: when a kettle or boiler has been used to boil temporarily hard water for some time, the inner surface becomes coated with a white fur-like layer.
(b)stalagmites and stalactites: these are pillars of limestone found in hot caves. When hard water flows temporarily over the top of a cave, drops of water tend to drip through cracks in the roof. The calcium trioxocarbonate (iv) in the water then becomes decomposed by the heat inside the cave, leaving deposits of calcium trioxocarbonate (iv) on the roof and the floor of the cave. A calcium trioxocarbonate (iv) structure growing downwards from the roof is known as stalactite, while the one growing upwards from the the floor is known as stalagmite. These may grow towards each other and form one solid pillar inside the cave.

11. Define the following:
(i) stalactites (ii) stalagmites (iii)permutit or zeolite.
(i) Stalactites: are pillars of limestones found in hot caves. They are calcium trioxocarbonate (iv) structure growing upwards from the floor.

(ii) Stalagmites: are pillars of limestone found in hot caves. They are calcium trioxocarbonate (iv) structure growing upwards from the floor.
(iii) Permutit or Zeolite: is an ion - exchange resin used industrially and in the home for softening water. It is naturally occurring sodium aluminum trioxocarbonate (iv) (commonly known as zeolite) which can also be prepared artificially.

12. How can hardness of water be removed?
(i) Permanent hardness of water can be removed by precipitating the calcium and magnesium ions from solution. The chemicals employed are all soluble sodium compounds which will form insoluble precipitates with the calcium and magnesium ions.
(ii) Washing soda, caustic soda and Permutit or zeolite are some of the common chemicals used in the removal of permanent hardness.
The addition of washing soda removes the calcium and magnesium trioxocarbonate (iv) respectively.
Na2CO3(aq) + CaSO4(aq) --------> CACO3(s) + Na2SO4(aq).
Na2CO3(aq) + MgSO4(aq) ---------> MgCO3(s) + Na2SO4(aq).

13. State four advantages of hard water?
(i) Hard water taste better than soft water because of the dissolved mineral in it.
(ii) Hard water helps animals such as snails and crabs to make their shells.
(iii) Hard water can be supplied in pipes made of lead as this type of water does not dissolve lead. Soft water dissolves lead. If supplied in lead pipes, it will cause lead poisoning.
(iv) The calcium salt present in hard water when taken in by animals, helps to build strong teeth and bones.

14. State three disadvantages of Hard water?
(i) it does not lather readily with soap.
(ii) it cause Furring of kettles and boilers while soft water does not.
(iii) hard water cannot be used in dyeing and tanning as the salts in it interfere with the mode of action of these processes.

15. What is water pollution?
Water pollution is the indiscriminate dumping of refuse, sewage, industrial and agricultural wastes into water bodies. It threatens aquatic life and changes water bodies into foul-smelling.

16 ______ is a universal solvent. It is polar in nature and dissolves most organic solutes to form aqueous solutions.
>> __water__

17. What are pollutants?
Pollutants are substances that have the capacity of causing pollution when disposed to the environment.

18. List three common pollutants?
(i) Sewage and Refuse.
(ii) Industrial and agricultural wastes.
(iii) Cruse oil spills.

19. What is a solution?
A solution is a homogeneous (uniform) mixture of two or more substances.
A Solution is a homogeneous mixture of a solute and a solvent.

20. What is a true solution?
A true solution is formed when solute particles dissolve such that they are able to get in between the solvent particles. Examples of true solutions are aqueous solutions of sodium chloride and cupper (ii) tetraoxosulphate (vi).

21. What is a false solution?
A false solution is also called a colloidal solution. In a false solution, the individual solute particles are larger than the particles of the true solution, but not large enough to be seen by the naked eyes. Examples of colloids are: starch and albumen, fog, smoke, emulsions, sols and foam/lather.

22 (a). List three types of colloids?
(i) Sols and gels
(ii) Aerosols
(iii) Emulsion.

(b). The most important colloid is the protoplasm, the living matter in cells.

(c). Defines the three types of colloids?
(a) Sols and gels: the most common type of colloid is one where solid particles are dispersed in liquid medium. Such solid-liquid colloidal system at called sols.
Most sols solidify under certain conditions to form gel.
Examples of sols are: starch, glue, agar, jelly, gelatin and clay.
(ii) Aerosols: These are systems where liquid particles are dispersed in a gas.
Fog and smoke are aerosols. Examples of are aerosols are the spray of insecticides and deodorants from aerosol cans.
(iii) Emulsion: in this colloidal system, a liquid is dispersed in another liquid. Examples of emulsions are milk, hair cream and cod liver emulsion.

(d). The cleaning action of detergents is due to their ability to form emulsions.

23. What is a suspension?
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of undissolved particles in a medium. The particles are usually large enough to be seen without the aid of an instrument and they eventually settle down if left standing.

24. Differentiate between a saturated and supersaturated solution?
A saturated solution of a solute at a particular temperature is one which contains as much solute as it can dissolve at that temperature in the presence of undissolved solute particles. Whereas;
A supersaturated solution is one which contains more of the solute than it can normally hold at that temperature.

25. What is solubility?
Solubility of a solute in a solvent at a particular temperature is the maximum amount of the solute in moles or grams that will saturate 1dm³ of the solvent at that temperature.
