Question 1.
Sleeping pills are recommended by doctors to the patients suffering from sleeplessness but it is not advisable to take its doses without consultation with the doctor. Why ?
Answer:
Sleeping pills contain drugs that may be tranquilizers or anti-depressant. They affect the nervous system, relieve anxiety, stress, irritability or excitement. But they should strictly be used under the supervision of a doctor. If not, the uncontrolled and overdose can cause harm to the body and mind because in higher doses, these drugs act as poisons.

Question 2.
With reference to which classification has the statement, “ranitidine is an antacid” been given ?
Answer:
This statement refers to the classification of drugs according to pharmacological effects of the drugs because any drug which is used to neutralise the excess acid present in the stomach will be called an antacid and ranitidine prevents the interaction of histamine with the receptors present in the stomach wall. Histamine stimulates the secretion of pepsin and HCl in the stomach.

Question 1.
Why do we need to classify drugs in different ways ?
Answer:
Drugs have been classified in different ways depending

  • upon their pharma – cological effect
  • upon their action on a particular biochemical process
  • on the basis of their chemical structure
  • on the basis of molecular targets.

For example, classification of the drugs based on pharmacological effect is useful for doctors. The classification of drugs based on molecular targets is the most useful classification for medicinal chemists. Thus, drugs are classified in different ways to serve different purposes.

Question 2.
Explain the term, target molecules or drug targets as used in medicinal chemistry.
Answer:
Drugs taken by a patient interact with macro molecules such as proteins, carbo – hydrates, lipids and nucleic acids and these are called drug targets. These macro molecules  or drug targets are known to perform several role in the body.The drugs are designed to interact with specific targets so that these have least chances of effecting the other targets. This minimises the side effects and localises the action of the drug.

Question 3.
Name the macro molecules that are chosen as drug targets.
Answer:
The macro molecules that are chosen as drug targets are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.

Question 4.
Why should not medicines be taken without consulting doctors ?
Answer:
The drugs or medicines have side effects also. These side effects arise because the drug may bind to more than one type of receptor. Further their wrong choice and over dose can cause havoc and even may cause death. Therefore, it is must that the medicines should not be given without consulting doctors.

Question 5.
Define the term chemotherapy.
Answer:
The branch of chemistry which deals with the treatment of diseases using chemicals is called chemotherapy.

MP Board Solutions

Question 6.
Which forces are involved in holding the drugs to the active site of enzymes ?
Answer:
The forces holding drugs to the active sites of enzymes are hydrogen bonding, ionic bonding, dipole-dipole interactions or van derwaals’ forces.

Question 7.
While antacids and anti-allergic drugs interfere with the function of histamines, why do these not interfere with the function of each other ?
Answer:
They do not interfere with the functioning of each other because they work on different receptors in the body. Secretion of histamine causes allergy and acidity while antacid removes only acidity.

Question 8.
Low level of nor – adrenaline is the cause of depression. What type of drugs I are needed to cure this problem ? Name two drugs.
Answer:
Nor-adrenaline induces a feeling of well being and helps in changing the mood. If the level of nor adrenaline is low, then the signal sending activity of the hormone becomes low and the person suffers from depression. In such cases, the patient needs anti depressant drugs which inhibit the enzymes which catalyses the degradation of nor adrena-line. The common drugs used as anti-depressant are iproniazid and phenelzine.

Question 9.
What is meant by the term ‘broad spectrum antibiotics’ ? Explain.
Answer:
The range of bacteria’s or other micro-organisms that are affected by a certain antibiotic is expressed as its spectrum of action. The term broad spectrum antibiotics means an antibiotic which kills or inhibits a  wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.

Question 10.
How do antiseptics differ from disinfectants ? Give one example of each
Answer:
1. Antiseptics are applied to living tissues such as wounds, cuts etc. to kill or prevent the growth of micro – organisms.
Example:
0-2% phenol, tincture iodine, dettol etc.

2. Disinfectants are applied to inanimate (or nonliving) objects such as floors, instrution Disinfectants are applied to inanimate (or nonliving) objects such as floors, instru-ments, drainage system etc.
Example:
1% solution of phenol, chlorine (0-2 to 0-4 ppm) SO2 in low concentration.

Question 11.
Why are cimetidine and ranitidine better antacids than sodium hydrogen-carbonate or magnesium or aluminium hydroxide ?
Answer:
Antacids NaHCO3, Mg(OH)2 or Al(OH)3 neutralize the excess acid produced in the stomach but their prolonged use can cause the production of excess acid in the stomach, which is harmful and may result in ulcers. It means these drugs control only symptoms. Cimetidine and ranitidine work without such side effect (because they control the cause) as they prevent interaction of histamine with the receptors of the stomach wall as histamine stimulates the secretion of acid. Thus, these are better antacids than, NaHCO3, Mg(OH)2 or Al(OH)3.

Question 12.
Name a substance which can be used as an antiseptic as well as disinfectant.
Answer:
Phenol is a substance which can be used as an antiseptic (0 – 2% solution) as well as disinfectant (1% solution).

Question 15.
What are food preservatives ?
Answer:
Chemical substances which are used to protect the food against bacteria, yeasts and moulds are called food preservatives e.g., sodium metabisulphite, sodium benzoate.

Question 16.
Why is use of aspartame limited to cold foods and soft drinks ?
Answer:
Use of aspartame is limited to cold foods and soft drinks because it is unstable at cooking temperature.

Question 22.
What are bio-degradable and non-biodegra-dable detergents ? Give one example of each.
Answer:
Bio-degradable detergents are degraded by bacteria. In them, hydrocarbon chain is unbranded. They do not cause water pollution and are bitter. Example: Sodium lauryl sulphate.

Non-biodegradable detergents possess highly branched hydrocarbon chain so bacteria cannot degrade them easily. They cause water pollution. Example: Sodium 4-(l, 3, 5, 7-tetramethyl-actyl) benzene sulphonate.

MP Board Solutions

Question 23.
Why do soaps not work in hard water ?
Answer:
Hard water contains calcium and magnesium salts. Therefore, in hard water, soaps get precipitated as insoluble calcium and magnesium soaps which being insoluble stick to the cloth as gummy mass and blocks the ability of soap to move oil or grease from the cloth.

Question 24.
Can you use soaps and synthetic detergents to check the hardness of water ?
Answer:
Soaps can be used to check the hardness of water as they give insoluble precipitates of calcium and magnesium soaps in hard water but synthetic detergents do not give precipitate, so they can not check the hardness of water.

Question 25.
Explain the cleansing action of soaps.
Answer:
Cleaning action of soaps:
Cleaning action of soap and detergents are based on miceller activity. Soaps are sodium salt of higher fatty acids e.g., sodium stearate which ionises as:
MP Board Class 12th Chemistry Solutions Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life - 21
The anionic head of stearate ion (- COO) is hydrophilic and hence has great affinity for water. The hydrocarbon part is hydrophobic and has great affinity for oil, grease etc.

When soap dissolves in water the anions (C17H35COO) form micelle encapsulating oil or grease inside. These micelles are removed by rinsing with water. Thus the main function of soap is to convert oily and greasy dirt to colloidal particles by forming an emulsion. Soaps therefore, act as emulsifying agents. This mechanism of cleaning is also applicable to synthetic detergents like sodium lauryl sulphate CH3(CH2)11 SO4 Na+. Repulsion of similar charge -COO or -SO4 covering each oil (grease) micelle prevents them to come together. Thus oil or grease remains in the suspension.

Question 26.
If water contains dissolved calcium hydrogen carbonate, out of soaps and synthetic detergents which one will you use for cleaning clothes ?
Answer:
Calcium bicarbonate makes water hard. Soap will give precipitate with this hard water and therefore, cannot be used for cleaning clothes. On the other hand, a synthetic detergents does not give precipitate in hard water because its calcium salt is also soluble in water. Therefore, synthetic detergents can be used for cleaning clothes in hard water.

Write short notes on:

  1. Antifertility drugs
  2. Detergents
  3. Antacids
  4. Sedatives
  5. Sulpha drugs.

Answer:
1. Antifertility drugs:
Drugs which are used to check pregnancy in women are called antifertility drugs. Actually, these drugs control the female menstrual cycle and ovulation. The antifertility agent in these drugs are steroids and these drugs are used in the form of oral pills. A mixture of synthetic estrogen and progesterone derivative are used as birth control pill. These are more effective than the natural hormone. Ethynylestradiol and norethindrone are the content of common contraceptive pills.
MP Board Class 12th Chemistry Solutions Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life - 14

2. Detergents:
Unsaturated hydrocarbon of ethylene type containing 10 to 18 carbon atoms on treatment with sulphuric acid forms organic acid. Sodium salt of organic acid have moisture absorbing and purification property. This compound is called synthetic detergent. Example: Sodium w-dodecyl benzene sulphonate, Sodium n – dodecyl sulphate.

MP Board Class 12th Chemistry Solutions Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life - 15

CH3 – (CH2)10 – CH2 – SO4Na+
Sodium n-dodecyl sulphate

Synthetic detergents have two parts:

  • A long chain of hydrocarbon which is hydrophobic (Water repellent).
  • Small ionic chain is hydrophilic (Water attracting).

Ionic chain is generally of sulphonate (SO3Na) or sodium sulphate (SO4Na). Detergents are surface active compounds which decreases surface tension of water. When these compounds are dissolved in water they scatter dirt particles leaving the surface clean.

Properties of detergents:
Detergents are superior to soap.
1. Detergents can be used in hard as well as soft water because they do not form insoluble salt with calcium and magnesium ions of hard water while soap cannot be used in hard water.

2. Aqueous solution of detergent is neutral. Therefore, detergents can clean soft fibres without damaging them. Soap solution is alkaline due to hydrolysis and is harmful for washing soft fibres.

Uses of detergents:
Detergensts act as cleansing agent. Like soap it can be used for cleaning cotton, woollen, silky and synthetic fibre cloth and for cleaning other domestic items.
