61. What are inert gases? Why they are inert? Give the names of 4 inert gases.

• An inert gas is a gas which does not undergo chemical reactions under a set of given conditions.

• Inert gases are generally used to avoid unwanted chemical reactions degrading the sample. These undesirable chemical reactions are often oxidation & hydrolysis with oxygen and moisture in air.

• Examples

1. Purified ARGON
2. NITROGEN 
3. NEON
4. HELIUM
5. CO2.

62. Define : Corrosion and erosion

Corrosion
It is natural process in  which  degraded the  useful  property of material  such as strength, structure. It occurs in metal but sometimes in polymer.

Erosion
It is action of surface process that removes soil, rocks or dissolves  material from the one location to another.

63. Define : Saponification

When an oil or fat is boiled with a solution of caustic  soda, the resultant product are soap and glycerin. The chemical reaction is called saponification.

Oil + NaOH -------- > Soap + Glycerin

64. Give difference between aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Aromatic Compound	Aliphatic Compound
They are containing aromatic ring or benzene ring.	They are organic chemical compound without benzene ring.
They are always cyclic.	They are linear and cyclic.
They are always unsaturated.	They are saturated and unsaturated.
They are conjugated due to the presence of alternating double bond.	The majority of aliphatic compound are not conjugated.

65. Write difference between Forward feed and Backward feed evaporation.

Forward Feed Evaporator	Backward Feed evaporator
Flow of solution and steam is in parallel direction.	-Flow of solution and steam is in counter current direction.
-It’s not required pump.
	-In this process heating of feed in each effect.
-Maintenance cost and power cost is less.	-Maintenance charge and power cost is high.
-Get less thick liquor.

66. Write difference between single effect and multiple effect evaporator.
