(i)Explain the concentration of copper pyrites and galena ores. (ii) Out of Lu(OH)_(3) and La(OH)_(3) which is more basic and why?

Answer»

Solution :(i) froth floatation: This method is commonly used to concentrate sulphide ores such as galena (PbS), zinc blende (ZnS) etc. In this method, the metallic ore particles which are preferentially wetted by oil can be separated from gangue.

In this method, the crushed ore is suspended in water and mixed with frothing agent such as pine oil, eucalyptus oil etc. A small quantity of sodium ethyl xanthate which acts as a collector is also added. A froth is generated by blowing air through this mixture. The collector molecules attach to the ore particle and make them water repellent. As a result, ore particles, wetted by the oil, rise to the surface along with the froth. The froth is skimmed off and dried to recover the concentrated ore. The gangue particles that are preferentially wetted by water settle at the bottom.
When a sulphide ore of a metal of interest contains other sulphides as impurities, depressing agents such as sodium cyanide, sodium carbonate etc are used to selectively prevent other metal sulphides from coming to the froth. For example, when impurities such as ZnS is present in galena (PbS), sodium cyanide (NaCN) is added to depresses the floatation property of ZnS by FORMING a layer of zinc complex `Na_(2)[ZN(CN)_(4)]` on the surface of zinc sulphide.
(ii) 1. As we move from `Ce^(3+)` to `Lu^(3+)`, the basic character of `Lu^(3+)` ions decreases.
2. Due to the DECREASE in the size of `Lu^(3+)` ions, the ionic character of Lu-OH bond decreases, covalent character increases which results in the decrease in the basicity.
3. Hence, `LA(OH)_(3)` is more basic than `Lu(OH)_(3)`.

Answer»

Solution :a.One DU in (A) and unreactivity with cold alk. `KMnO_(4)` (Baeyer's reagent) suggest (A) to be a ring compound. (A) is optically active, suggesting a ttrans epoxide.
or

b.Zero DU in (C) and (D) suggests that both are SATURATED compounds, (C) can be either diol or containinh one (OH) and one (OMe) group since only one mole of MeI reacts with (C) (five C atoms) to give (D) (six C atoms). Compounds (C) contains one (OH) and one (OMe) given at adjacent positions to make (C) chiral.

Another possiblity is:

c.i. Zero DU in (E) and 1 DU in (F). Here, (F) cannot be an ALKENE because it is inert to `KMnO_(4)` . It must be a cyclic be a cyclic ether. THP (tetrahlydropyran ) therefore (E) must be pentan 1,5-diol.

ii. (E) cannot be
or
because `(E_(1))` on REACTION with conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` would give alkene and `(E_(2))` is chiral.

iii. (E) cannot be vicinal diol of the typefor exampleorbecause with
an acide they would undergo pinacol-pinacolone rearrangement reaction to give ketone which would undergo oxidation with `KMnO_(4)` .
d.(G) must be a symmetrical ether since on reaction with excess of HI, it gives single RI (G), di-n-propyl ether, or di-isopropyl ether.
e.Williamson's synthesis cannot be carried out in the following six types.
i. Both C atoms are `2^(@)``R_(2)CH--O--CHR_(2)`
ii.One C is `2^(@)` and one is `3^(@)``R_(2)CH--O--CR_(3)`
iii.Both C atoms are `3^(@)``R_(3)C--O--CR_(3)`
iv. Both aryl GROUPS`Ar--O--Ar`
v.Both vinyl groups`H_(2)C=CH--O--CH=CH_(2)`
vi.Both neopntyl groups

Satured ether (I) with fewest C atom is `(Me_(2)CH--O--CHMe_(2))`(Di-isopropyl ether).
f.Unsaturated ether (II) with fewest C atoms is divinyl ether `(H_(2)C=CH--O--CH=CH_(2))`.
