    This document appears to be a chemistry project report submitted by a 12th grade student named Vakul Singh. The project investigates the presence of nitrogen-containing pesticides in various fruits and vegetables. The introduction provides background on pesticide use and health effects. The procedure describes preparing fruit and vegetable extracts using alcohol, evaporating the alcohol, performing a sodium fusion test to detect nitrogen, and indicating a positive result with blue or green precipitation from additions of ferrous sulfate and ferric chloride. Observations from applying this test to different fruit and vegetable residues are to be recorded. The report includes the standard sections of certificate, acknowledgment, aim, materials, and bibliography.

    ACKNOWLEDGEME
    NT
    I place my sincere thanks to my chemistry teacher VIBHA
    JAIN maam for her guidance and advices to complete my
    work successfully. I also thank Mr. OMPAL sir for providing
    me all the facilities to finish the project on time. I also
    take this opportunity to place on record my deep
    gratitude to lord almighty for the countless blessings
    showered on me while doing the work and to complete it.
    Last but not least I thank my parents for their
    encouragement and support.

    INTRODUCTI
    ON
    In the past decade there has been a tremendous increase
    in the yields of various crops to meet the demand of
    overgrowing population, achieved by using pesticides and
    insecticides. These are chemicals that are sprayed over
    crop to protect it from pests. For example, DDT, BHC, zinc
    phosphide, Mercuric chloride, dinitrophenol, etc. All
    pesticides are poisonous chemicals and are used in small
    quantities with care. Pesticides are proven to be effective
    against variety of insects, weeds and fungi and are
    respectively called insecticides, herbicides and
    fungicides. Most of the pesticides are non-biodegradable
    and remain penetrated as such into plants, fruits and
    vegetables . From plants they transfer to animals , birds
    and human beings who eat these polluted fruits and
    vegetables. Inside the body they get accumulated and
    cause serious health problems. These days preference is
    given to biodegradable insecticides like malathion. The
    presence of Insecticides residues in even raw samples of
    wheat, fish, meat , butter etc. have aroused the concern
    of agricultural administrators, scientists and health

    officials all over the world to put a check over the use of
    insecticides and to search for non insecticidal means of
    pest control.

    AIM
    To study the presence of insecticides or pesticides
    (nitrogen containing) in various fruits and vegetables.

    MATERIALS
    REQUIRED
    Beakers, funnel , glass rod , filter paper china dish ,
    water bath, tripod stand, fusion tube, knife, test tube.
    Samples of various fruits and vegetables, alcohol, sodium
    metal, ferric chloride, ferrous sulphate crystals, distilled
    water and dil. Sulphuric acid.

    PROCEDURE
    Take different types of fruits and vegetables and cut them
    into small pieces separately. Transfer the cut pieces of
    various fruits and vegetables into it separately and crush
    them . Take different kinds for each kind of fruits and
    vegetables and place the crushed fruits and vegetables in
    these beakers and add 100 ml of alcohol to each of
    these . Stir well and filter. Collect the filtrate in separate
    china dishes, Evaporate the alcohol by heating the china
    dishes one by one over a water bath and let the residue
    dry in the oven . Heat a small piece of sodium in a fusion
    tube , till it melts. Then add one of the above residues
    from the china dish to this fusion tube and heat it till red
    hot. Drop the hot fusion tube in a china dish containing
    about 10 ml of distilled water. Break the tube and boil the
    contents of the china dish for about 5 minutes . Cool and
    filter the solution. Collect the filtrate . To the filtrate add 1

    ml of freshly prepared ferrous sulphate solution and warm


    the contents. Then add 2-3 drops of ferric chloride
    solution and acidify with dilute HCl. If a blue or green ppt.
    or colouration is obtained it indicates the presence of
    nitrogen containing insecticides. Repeat the test of
    nitrogen for residues obtained from other fruits and
    vegetables and record the observation.
