Answer :B
16.

At room temperature, the eclipsed and staggered forms of ethane can not be isolated because

Answer»

Theyinterconvert rapidly
Both the conformers are equally stable
The ENERGY difference between the conformers is large
There is a large energy barrier of rotation about the `sigma` bond

Solution :In STAGGERED and eclipsed conformation of ethane, the basic structure of the ethane molecule and its various bond angles and bond lengths remain same.
Since the repulsion between the non-bonded HYDROGEN atoms on the two carbons are minimum in the staggered conformation, hence staggered conformation is more stable than the eclipsed conformation by about `12.55 kJ mol^(-1)`. Further since this energy barrier of `12.55 kJ mol^(-1)` is very small and can be easily MET by the collisions of the molecules at room TEMPERATURE, hence these two conformation of ethane are readily interconvertible and hence cannot be separated at room temperature.

At room temperature ammonia gas at 1 atm pressure and hydrogen chloride at p atmospheric pressure are allowed to diffuse through identical pin holes from opposite ends of a glass tube of 1 metre length and of uniform cross-section. Ammonium chloride is first formed at a distance of 60 cm from the end through which HCl gas is sent in. what is the value of p ?

Answer»

<P>

Solution :In this problem the pressure under which the two gases are DIFFUSING are different.
`(r_(NH_(3)))/(r_(HCl)) = sqrt((M_(HCl))/(M_(NH_(3)))) xx (p_(NH_(3)))/(p_(HCl)) = (40)/(60)`
or `sqrt((36.5)/(17)) xx (1)/(p_(HCl)) = (40)/(60)`
`p_(HCl) = 2.198` atm.

At normal temperature the barometric pressure is 76 cm, then the height of water column if water is used instead of mercury is (Give: density of mercury and water at the same temperature is 13.6 g/cc and 0.999 g/cc)

Answer»

1034.6 cm
9230.2cm
10346 .08 cm
103.46 cm

Solution :The barometer contains mercury, so the pressure =DGH
As the presure is CONSTANT, so we can write the equation
`d_(1)gh_(1)=d_(2)gh_(2)`
where `d_(1)=` density of mercury `=13.6` g/cc
`h_(1)=` height of mercury column =76 cm
`d_(2)=` density of water =0.999g/cc
`h_(2)=` height of water column =?
g=acceleration due to GRAVITY
`implies76xx13.6=h_(2)xx0.999`
`impliesh_(2)=(76xx13.6)/0.999=1034.6cm`
