Solve any one question from Q1 & Q2
1 (a) Give the chemical reactions involved in lime-soda process of softening of water.
6 M
1 (b) Why is water soften before using in boiler?
2 M
1 (c) The hardness of 10000 litres of a sample of water was removed by passing it through a zeolite softener. The zeolite softner then required 200 litre of sodiumchloride solution containing 150 gm/litre of NaCI for regeneration. Find out the hardness of Water sample.

Solve any one question from Q5 & Q6
5 (a) What do you mean by viscosity index?
5 M
5 (b) What are refractories, give their classification?
5 M
5 (c) Write a short note on portland cement.
4 M

6 (a) Define flash point and fire point.
2 M
6 (b) What are the raw material of refractory?
4 M
6 (c) An oil of unknown viscosity index has saybolt universal viscosity of 58 seconds at 210°F and 580 seconds at 100°F.
The high viscosity index standard oil has saybolt viscosity of 58 seconds at 210°F and 430 seconds at 100°F. The low viscosity index standard has saybolt universal viscosity of 58 seconds at 210°F and 780 seconds at 100°F. Determine V.I. of unknown oil.

Solve any one question from Q9 & Q10
9 (a) Write short note on UV spectroscopy.
2 M
9 (b) (i) Give reason:
Alkalinity due to OH- and HCO3- ions can not be present simultaneously in water.
6 M
9 (b) (ii) If Na2SO4 dissolve in water. It will create the alkalinity in water.
solution was made to one litre by dilution. 50 ml of this solution required 40 ml of EDTA solution, while 50 ml of the sample of water required 20 ml of EDTA. Calculate total hardness of water sample.
6 M

10 (a) Write short notes on any two of the following:
(i) DO
(ii) BOD
(iii) Lambert's and Beer's Law
7 M
10 (b) 100 ml of a water sample required 20 ml of N/50 H2SO4 for neutralization to phenolphthalein end point. After this methyl orange indicator was added to this and further acid required was 15 ml calculate the type and extent of alkalinity.
