3 M
1 (d) What is the function of plasticiser in the compounding of plastic? Give two examples.
3 M
1 (e) Two samples of water A and B were analysis for their salt content :
(i) Sample A was found to contain 168 mg MgCO3 per litre.
(ii) Sample B was found to contain 820 mg Ca(NO3)2 per litre and 2 mg SiO2 per litre. Calculate the total hardness of each sample and state which sample is more hard.
3 M
1 (f) Discuss the condition under which semisolid lubricants are used.
3 M
1 (g) Distinguish between thermoplastics and thermosetting resins.
3 M

2 (a) 50 ml of standard hard water containing 1 mg of pure CaCO3 per ml consued 20 ml of EDTA. 50 ml of the water sample consumed 30 ml of same EDTA solution using Erichrome Black T indicator. After boiling and filtering, 50 ml of the water sample required 10 ml of the same EDTA for titration. Calculate the total and permanent hardness of water sample.
6 M
2 (b) Draw a neat phase diagram of the one component water system and explain with reference to (i) curves (ii) Triple point
5 M
2 (c) What are carbon nano tubes ? What are their types? Discuss their Electrical and Mechanical properties.
4 M

3 (a) Discuss the mechanism of thick- film lubrication.
6 M
3 (b) Discuss moduling and discuss the Injection moduling method of fabrication of plastic.
5 M
3 (c) Discuss the Limitations of phase rule.
4 M

4 (a) Give the preperation, properties and uses of : (i) PMMA (ii) Buna-s
6 M
4 (b) Give well balanced equation of the reactions that takes place in the Lime soda process.
5 M
4 (c) Find the saponification value of an oil sample 1.5g refluxed with 25 ml of 0.5 N KOH required 15 ml of 0.5 N HCI for the residual titration. The blank titration reading was 25 ml of 0.5 N HCI.
4 M

5 (a) Discuss the setting and hardening of portland cement as well as the function of gypsum with balanced equations.
