Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen that causes ventilator-associated pneumoniae, bacteraemia, and wound and skin infections in immunocompromised individuals. A. baumannii can be multi-drug resistant and has become a concern for the global health care community, which must contain contamination and prescribe successful treatment for affected patients. The success of A. baumannii can be attributed to its plastic genome, which enables antimicrobial resistance, the ability to survive desiccation for extended periods, biofilm formation and capsule production to protect it from the human immune system.
Capsule production by A. baumannii has been linked to antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation, immune system evasion and desiccation persistence. Across the A. baumannii species, there are numerous capsule types that incorporate different sugars and configure them in different orientations. These capsule regions have been mapped and located across numerous strains, which suggests that the capsule locus is conserved. All capsule regions are flanked by the same genes: fkpA and lldP. To date, there has been no investigation of the possibility of the different capsule types affecting desiccation persistence, antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation and immune evasion differently without background genetics influencing the results.
The first aim of this study was to construct an operon assembly vector (OAV) system to investigate whether different capsule types will affect desiccation persistence, antimicrobial resistant, biofilm formation and immune evasion differently. OAV system construction involves three mains steps: (i) cloning an origin of replication specific to Acinetobacter spp., (ii) homologous recombination of the fkpA and lldP genes in yeast that will act as hook regions and (iii) reassembling the capsule biosynthesis operon (cps) locus from American type culture collection (ATCC) 17978 into the vector using homologous recombination in yeast. The first step of OAV system construction was achieved.
The second aim of this study was to knockout the cps gene region in ATCC 17978 to create an isogenic mutant, ∆cps2, to enable the analysis of different capsule types using the OAV system. The isogenic mutant ∆cps2 was also characterised for resistance to desiccation, disinfectants and lysozyme to determine whether, without the capsule protecting the cell, the strain has reduced survival and therefore reduced persistence.

Oil palm by-products as lightweight aggregate in concrete - a reviewUniversity of Malaya
This document reviews research on the use of oil-palm boiler clinker (OPBC) as a lightweight aggregate in concrete mixtures. OPBC is a waste material from palm oil extraction that has physical and chemical properties making it suitable for use as a concrete aggregate. Studies found that concrete made with OPBC as a coarse or fine aggregate had compressive strengths from 17 to 47 MPa and densities from 1440 to 1850 kg/m3. Partial replacement of OPBC in oil palm shell concrete improved compressive strength by about 40%. The review identifies gaps in research on developing innovative lightweight concretes considering financial and environmental factors.

This masters project report describes molecular dynamics simulations performed to study liquid crystals and their potential use in biosensors. Over 50 nanoseconds of simulations were carried out using different atomistic force fields to model the liquid crystal 5CB. The force fields were characterized and compared to experimental data on the phase behavior and properties of bulk 5CB. Simulations were also conducted to study 5CB interactions across water interfaces and observe conformational changes in polypeptides to assess the ability to predict protein structure changes relevant for biosensor applications. Issues encountered are discussed. The work aims to further understanding of liquid crystals at the molecular level to aid the development of liquid crystal-based biosensing technologies.

Q. Give Bosch method to separate hydrogen gas from water gas
2. Separation of H2 by Oxidation (Bosch Process):
This is the most suitable method for the separation of H2 gas from water gas, in this process more steam passes through water gas at 500 oC in the presence of iron oxide (FeO) or chromium oxide (Cr2O3) catalyst. Carbon monoxide gas in water gas oxidizes to CO2 gas, which is soluble in water under pressure, lib- erating H2 gas.

Q - 7) What do you understand by the anomalous behaviour of water? And what is the significant of this unusual behaviour of water? Anomalous behaviour of Water: water does not obey the law of expansion and contrac- tion between 0 oC to 4 oC and shows anomalous or unusual behaviour because water is polar molecule and due to greater polarity all water molecules are associated by means of hydrogen bonding. It expands when cooled form 4 to 0 oC and contracts from 0 to 4 oC. Due to this ice (Solid Water) floats over water and aquatic animals in winter seasons in the region where temperature reaches below 0 oC.

Q - 8) What is water of crystallization? What happens when hydrates are heated? Define heat of hydration also write formulas of some of hydrates. Water of Crystallization: Water of crystallization is water that contains few molecules of water as a part of the crystal lattice. Crystal salts containing water of crystallization are called hydrates. When hydrates are heated:
When hydrates are heated, the molecules of water of crystallization are easily dissociated form their salts crystals. The residue left behind is then said to be anhydrous (shapeless) or anhydrite.

1. It should be free form germs, bacteria and all sorts of pollutants.
2. It should be moderately soft and its hardness should be under 150 ppm (parts per million)
3. It should be free from corrosive substances.
4. It should be colour less odourless and tasteless and have pH rage of 7 – 8.5.
Q - 10) What do you mean by soft water, hard water and heavy water? Soft water: The water that containing dissolved impurities but in small quantities and easily produces lather with soap is known as soft water. Hard water: The water that containing dissolved impurities of hydrogen car- bonates, chlorides and Sulphate of calcium and magnesium is called hard water. It does not give lather with soap. Heavy water: The water that containing compound of oxygen with heavy hydrogen i.e. deuterium is known as soft water. Its formula is D2O.

Q - 11) What do you mean by hard water and describes the types of hardness? Also write causes of hardness. Hard water: The water that containing dissolved impurities of hydrogen car- bonates, chlorides and Sulphate of calcium and magnesium is called hard water. It does not give lather with soap. Types of Hardness:
There are two types of hardness in water. 1. Temporary hardness 2. Permanent hardness Temporary Hardness:
Temporary hardness is due to the presence of dissolved hydrogen carbonates of calcium and magnesium. These salts are water soluble and ionize into water as:
Ca(HCO3)2(aq)
⇌
Ca2+ (aq) + 2HCO– 3(aq)
Mg(HCO3)2(aq)
⇌
Ma2+ (aq) + 2HCO– 3(aq) Permanent Hardness:
Permanent hardness is due to dissolved chlorides and Sulphates of calcium and magnesium. These salts are also water soluble and ionize into water as:
CaCl2(aq)
⇌
Ca2+ (aq) + 2Cl– (aq)
Mg(SO4)(aq)
⇌
Ma2+ (aq) + SO42– 3(aq)
Causes of Hardness:
1. Presence of bicarbonates of chlorides or Sulphates of calcium or magnesium in water is the main causes of hardness of water.
2. Water hardness is caused by the presence of calcium Sulphate (Ca2+) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg2+) ions, when they occur in very high concentra- tions.
13. 12
Q - 12) How is the hardness of water removed? Describe various meth- ods to remove hardness of water? Method to remove hardness of water: The hardness of water can be removed by the following methods.
1. Temporary hardness
a) By heating
b) By Clark’s method
2. Permanent hardness
a) By Ion – exchange method
b) By using washing Soda
c) By using caustic Soda
d) By using zeolite or permutit
Removing Temporary Hardness a) By Heating:
Temporary hardness is due to the presence of dissolved hydrogen carbonates of calcium and magnesium which decompose on heating to CaCO3 and MgCO3 which are insoluble in water and easily remove by filtration.
Ca(HCO3)2(aq)
퐵표푖푙 →
CaCO3 ( ↓ 푠)(insoluble) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Mg(HCO3)2(aq)
퐵표푖푙 →
MgCO3 ( ↓ 푠) (insoluble) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Once Ca2+ ions or Mg2+ ions are out of water, any soap when added to water becomes soft, the water and lather formation occurs. b) By Clark’s method:
Temporary hardness can also be by using Clark’s method. In this method temporary hard water containing hydrogen carbonates of Ca and Mg is treated with slaked lime in the tanks to convert them into their insoluble carbonates.
These insoluble carbonates settle down at the bottom of tanks while soft water is drained off for the use.
Ca(HCO3)2(aq) + Ca(OH)2aq
2CaCO3 (insoluble) + 2H2O(l)
Mg(HCO3)2(aq) + Ca(OH)2aq
MgCO3 (insoluble) + 2CaCO3 (insoluble) + 2H2O(l)
Removing Permanent Hardness a) By Ion – exchange method:
In this method in which calcium and magnesium ion from water are removed as insoluble precipitates. The chemicals employed are mostly soluble sodium com- pounds. These form insoluble precipitates of Ca and Mg ions. b) By Using washing soda: (Na2CO3 10H2O)
When washing soda is added to permanent hard water, insoluble CaCO3 and MCO3 are precipitated from the soluble salts of Ca and Mg.
CaSO4 (aq) + Na2CO3(aq)
CaCO3(s) (insoluble) + Na2SO4(aq)
MgCl2 (aq) + Na2CO3(aq)
MaCO3(s) (insoluble) + 2NaCl (aq)
14. 13 c) By Using Caustic Soda: (NaOH)
When caustic soda is added to permanent hard water, insoluble hydroxide of Mg2+ ion is precipitated from the salts of Ca(OH)2 is partially soluble in water.
MgSO4 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq)
Ma(OH)2(s) (insoluble) + Na2SO4(aq) d) By Using Zeolite or Permutit:
This is a modern method employed for the softening of hard water. Hydrated sodium Aluminium silicate (Na2Al2Si2O8.xH2O) is called permutit. These complex salts are also known as zeolites.
The permutit as loosely packed in a big tank over a layer of coarse sand. Hard water is introduced into the tank from the top. Water reaches the bot- tom of the tank and then slowly rises through the permutit layer in the tank and hardness is removed. The cat ions present in hard water are exchanged for sodium ions. Therefore this method is also called ion exchange method.
Where Z = Al2Si2O8.nH2O
CaSO4 (aq) + Na2Z(zeo- lite)
CaZ(s) (insoluble) + Na2SO4(aq)
Sodium zeolite can be regenerated by passing a strong NaCl solution through Ca – Zeolite.
CaZ (zeolite) + 2NaCl(aq)
Na2Z(s) (Sod – zeolite) + CaCl2(aq)

Q - 3) Discus amorphous forms of Carbon. Or Short note Amorphous For Carbon: The amorphous forms of carbon are not considered as allo- tropes of carbon because x-rays analysis have revealed that they have structures like graphite with the exception of coal which is mined directly from natural depos- its. The other amorphous forms can be prepared in various ways. Coal: It is originates from the vegetation of the carboniferous era. It is said that the decomposition of plants and trees occurred gradually under the earth in the absence of air and under pressure CO2 water and methane were liberated leaving behind a material containing high percentage of carbon.
During this process under the earth the vegetable material was converted in stages into peat, lignite (Brown Coal), bituminous coal (Soft) and finally to anthracite (Hard Coal). Coal can be mined at various depths from the earth surface and mainly used as fuel. Coke: it is prefaced by heating bituminous coal to very high temperature about 1300 0C in the absence of air to remove all the volatile constituents present in coal. The process is called destructive distillation of coal.
The other non – volatile products obtained by this process would be Coal-Tar and Coke. It burns in air with no smoke and leaves very little residue. Coke is used as fuel and also as reducing agent in the extraction of metals especially iron. Charcoal: It can be produced by heating wood, nut shells, bones, sugar etc.
Wood charcoal is most common and prepared by burning wood in the limited supply of air. It may contain impurities such as Sulphur. It is mainly used as domestic fuel.
Animal charcoal is produced when animal bones and refuse are heated in the lim- ited supply of air it contains high percentage of calcium phosphate Ca3 (PO4)2 as impurity. It is used sugar industries to remove the brown colour from cane sugar and also in decolorizing petroleum Gel.
Q - 4) Define catenation: Catenation: It is the ability of the atoms of carbon to bond itself forming long chains and rings and also to from compounds chain and ring together. This is the unique properties of carbon.

1. From Air
The isolation of oxygen from air involves two steps.
(a) Liquefaction of air (b) Fractional distillation of liquid air. a. Liquefaction of air
1. Air in the gaseous form is first passed through caustic soda to remove CO2 present in air.
2. It is then compressed under very high pressure about 200 atm in the compressor.
3. It is then cooled and allowed to expand rapidly through a nozzle.
4. The process of compression and expansion are repeated over and over again due to which temperature falls up to – 200 0C at which air liquefies. b. Fractional distillation of liquid air
1. The liquid air is then led to a fractionating column through a filter in order to remove the traces of CO2 solid if left behind.
2. On distillation nitrogen with lower boiling point of -190 0C, evolves first leaving behind a liquid very rich in oxygen.
3. On heating turns liquid argon into gas which boils out at – 185.7 0C and passes off from the middle of the column and liquid oxygen.
4. The least volatile component in the air turns into oxygen gas at -183 0C.
2. In laboratory

Nitric acid acts as a powerful oxidizing agent because it is an electron acceptor and has nitrogen at its highest oxidation state (+5) and can un- dergo reduction in many ways.
The oxidizing property of nitric acid depends upon the following factors.
(i) Concentration of the acid
(ii) Nature of the reducing agent
(iii) Temperature
Due to these factors nitric acid gives variety of reduction products, such as NO2, NO, N2O, N2, HNO2, NH2HO3 etc.
7. Nitration Reaction (as nitrating agent):
Hot conc. Nitric acid reacts with organic compounds like benzene (C6H6) to replace hydrogen atom by the nitro (–NO2) group to form substituted product, nitro benzene (C6H5NO2).

2. As an Oxidizing Agent:
Sulphuric acid acts as oxidizing agent. The oxidizing properties of H2SO4 depends upon (i) con- centration of the acid (ii) Nature of the metal or reducing agent (iii) Temperature
(i) Oxidizing of Metal:
Less electropositive metals like Zn, Fe, Al react with dilute Sulphuric to liberate H2 gas and forming their Sulphates.
a. Zn(s)+H2SO4(aq) dilute → ZnSO4(aq)+H2(g)
b. Fe(s)+H2SO4(aq) dilute → FeSO4(aq)+H2(g)
c. 2Al(s)+3H2SO4(aq) dilute → Al2(SO4)3(aq)+3H2(g)

Q - 4) Describe and explain how Sulphuric Acid is prepared by Contact process, what catalyst used in the process? Contact Process: Sulphuric is prepared on large scale by contact process. This method was developed in Germany. In this process, SO2 is produced mainly by burning Sulphur in dry air or iron pyrite in pyrite burners.
Preparation of H2SO4
The given steps involves in preparation of H2SO4.
1. Preparation of SO2
2. Purification of SO2
3. Oxidation of SO2.
4. Absorption of SO3
5. Dilution of Oleum.
(i) Preparation Of SO2:
SO2 is produced mainly by burning Sulphur in dry air or iron pyrite in pyrite burners. S(s)+O2 → SO2(g) 4FeS2(s)⏟ Iron pyrite+11O2(g) → 2Fe2O3(s)+8SO2(g)
(ii) Purification Of SO2:
SO2 contains a number of impurities such as dust particles, Arsenous oxide, vapours, Sulphur etc. These impurities must be removed otherwise catalyst loses its efficiency (catalyst poi- soning).
DUST CHAMBER:
SO2 is first passed through the dust chamber where steam is spread over the gas to remove dust particles, which settle down. Fe(OH)3 also sprayed over to remove ox- ides of Arsenic.
46. 45
WASHING TOWER:
SO2 is then passed through a washing tower after cool- ing. Here it is sprayed by water to remove any other soluble impurities.
DRYING TOWER:
The gas is now dried by passing through drying tower where conc. H2SO4 (dehydrating agent) is sprayed. H2SO4 removes moisture from SO2.
TYNDALL BOX (TEST BOX):
Arsenic oxide is a poison for the catalyst. It is removed when the gas is passed over ferric hydroxide. As2O3 + 2Fe(OH)3 → 2FeAsO3+ 3H2O.
In order to remove traces of As2O3, it is passed through a test box, where a strong beam of light is thrown against the gas. If there is no scattering of light in the box, it indicates that gas is free from As2O3.
(iii) Oxidation Of SO2 to SO3:
Contact Tower: Oxidation of SO2 is carried out in contact tower where V2O5 is filled in different pipes. SO2 here reacts with air (O2) to produce SO3. Under above conditions 98% SO2 is converted into SO3. 2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3 +45Kcal
Conditions necessary for maximum yield of SO3:
Oxidation of SO2 is a reversible and exothermic process in which volume of product is less than the volumes of reactants. In order to obtain maximum amount of SO3, According to Le-Chatelier’s Principle following conditions are necessary.
Concentration, Excess of O2, Temperature
A decrease in temperature favours reaction in forward direction. Optimum tempera- ture for this process is 450oC to 500oC.
Pressure: Since volumes of reactants are greater than the product (3:2).Therefore, Accord- ing to Le-Chatelier’s Principle a high pressure is favourable. Optimum pressure is about 1.5 to 1.7 atmosphere.
USE of catalyst: At low temperature, rate of reaction decreases. To increase rate of reaction a catalyst Vanadium Penta-oxide (V2O5) is used.
(iv) ABSORPTION OF SO3 IN H2SO4
SO3 is not directly passed in water, because a dense fog of minute particles of H2SO4 is produced. It is therefore, dissolved in Conc. H2SO4 to form Pyro-Sulphuric acid (Oleum).
SO3 + H2SO4 → H2S2O7 ← (Oleum)
(v) DILUTION OF OLEUM
Oleum is now diluted with water to form H2SO4 of required concentration. H2S2O7 + H2O → 2H2SO4 ⇠푆푢푙푝ℎ푢푟푖푐 퐴푐푖푑

Its melting point is 113 0C and its density is 2.08g/cm3 at 20 0C.
It is insoluble in water but dissolve in carbon disulphide, benzene, disulphur di- chloride.
Preparation:
It is prepared by slow evaporation of ordinary Sulphur solution in carbon disul- phide or S2Cl2.
Which is filtered first to remove insoluble impurities present in Sulphur.
The filtrate on evaporation produces octahedral crystals of rhombic Sulphur.
Structure:
Rhombic Sulphur consists eight Sulphur molecules. These molecules have single covalent bonds.
(ii) Monoclinic Sulphur (훽 표푟 푝푟푖푠푚푎푡푖푐 푠푢푙푝ℎ푢푟)
It is stable between 6 to 119 0C and hence it changes
slowly to rhombic Sulphur at ordinary temperature.
It consists of dark yellow transparent needle-like crystals.
On standing the crystals become opaque, brittle and lemon yellow.
Its melting point is 119 0C and density is 1.96 g/cm3.
It is soluble in Carbon disulphide but insoluble in water.
Preparation:
It is prepared by slow cooling molten Sulphur until a crust is formed on the surface of it.
Pierce two holes through the crust and pour off the remaining molten Sulphur form inside.
On removing the rust the long needle shaped crystals of Monoclinic Sulphur is formed.
48. 47
Structure:
Monoclinic Sulphur also consists eight Sulphur molecules. The only difference is the shapes of the crystals.
The monoclinic Sulphur molecules unite together to give long, needle – shaped crystals as shown in figure.
(iii) Plastic Sulphur (훾−푠푢푙푝ℎ푢푟)
It is a super cooled form of Sulphur.
It is the non-crystalline allotrope of Sulphur.
Its boiling point is 444.6 0C and melting point is 113 0C.
It is not considered as a true allotrope of Sulphur because it is unstable and re- verts to rhombic Sulphur on standing.
Preparation:
It is prepared when ordinary Sulphur is heated carefully up to its boing point about 444.6 0C then the molten Sul- phur is poured into very cold water, a soft rubber like mass is obtained which looks if it made of plastic material.
Structure:
It has Zig –Zag arrangements of Sulphur atoms as shown in figure.
Q - 6) What is plastic Sulphur? Why is it elastic? Plastic Sulphur: Plastic Sulphur is a soft rubber like mass which is prepared when ordinary sulphur is heated carefully up to its boing point about 444.6 0C then the molten Sulphur is poured into very cold water. It is elastic because it is soft rubber like material.
Q - 7) Explain why SO2 is purified before it is passed into the contact tower for its oxidation to SO3? Ans: SO2 is purified before it is passed into the contact tower for this oxidation to SO3 because at this stage it has impurities that poison the crystals.
Q - 8) Describe what happens when:
(a) Sulphur is heated in the absence of air
(b) Sulphur is heated in presence of air
(a) When sulphur is heated in absence of air it changes into molten sulphur and if it is powered in cold water it changes to plastic sulphur.
(b) When sulphur is heated in presence of air it burns with blue flame to form Sul- phur dioxide (SO2).
