(a)
Interpretation:
Structure of Luminol and the various
Concept introduction:
Functional group: They are certain substitutes in the organic molecules which determine the characteristic reactions taking place in it.
Different types of functional groups are present and it includes
Primary and secondary amine:
Primary amine refers to the functional group that contains one nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one carbon containing group and the secondary amine contains nitrogen bonded to one hydrogen atom and two carbon containing groups.
Carbonyl group: The functional group that contains carbon atom which is doubly bonded with the oxygen atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
Component of blood that catalyzes the fluorescence of Luminol has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Luminol:
- It is a solid which is soluble in polar organic solvents.
- It is important in
forensic studies since it can be used to determine trace amounts of blood at crime scenes. - Luminol on reaction with iron in the blood produces a blue glow.
(c)
Interpretation:
The purpose of the oxidizing agent in the Luminol solution has to be given.
Concept introduction:

Absorptionarrow_forwardCathode Ray Discharge Tube Demonstration An Exploration (Because of the DANGER involved and the fragile nature of the device, this is a demonstration rather than a true Exploration) Background information: Until recently, almost all televisions used a device known as the cathode ray tube, or CRT, to display the images. In a cathode ray tube, the "cathode" is a heated filament (not unlike the filament in a normal light bulb). The heated filament is in a vacuum created inside a glass envelope or "tube." The "ray" is a stream of electrons that naturally pour off the heated cathode into the vacuum. The Cathode Ray Tube is powered by an extremely high voltage DC current system and is dangerous! Electrons are negative. The anode is positive, so the anode attracts the electrons pouring off the cathode. The electrons hit the phosphorus screen and generate green photons, which we can see. Safety: The cathode ray discharge tube is not a toy and should be handled with a lot of precaution.
