Q3 .

 3.1) Two harmful effects of  depletion of ozone layer a) Ultra violet rays directly reach earth surface and causes skin cancer b) UV radiation hinders the growth of plants .

3.2) Here pressure is constant . Initial temperature T₁ = 300K ,initial volume V₁ = 300 cm³ final temperature T₂ = 0ºC = 273K , final volume V₂ = ? . From Charle' law  V₁/T₁ = V₂ /T₂ 

⇒ 300/300 = V₂/273  Or , V₂ = 273  cm³ 

Or Molecular weight of CO₂ = 12 + 2x16 = 44 , 2.2 g of CO₂ = 2.2/44 = 0.05 mole  . From PV =n RT we get 570/760 V = 0.05 x 0.082x 300 ⇒ V = 760 x 0.05 x 0.082 x 300/570 = 1.64 L

3.4) Resistance is proportional to the length of conductor and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of conductor .

Or 
Fleming's left hand rule : 


If we arrange our thumb , forefinger and middle finger of the left hand perpendicular to each other , then the thumb points towards the direction of the force experienced by the conductor , the forefinger points towards the direction of the magnetic field and the middle finger points towards the direction of the electric current .

                                heat 

2NH₄Cl  + Ca(OH)₂ = CaCl₂ + 2H₂O +2NH₃(g) 

Or 

2FeCl₃ +H₂S →2 FeCl₂ + 2HCl + S 

Here H₂S reduces FeCl₃ to FeCl₂ , Hence it acts as reducing agent .
