Chromic anhydride in H_(2)SO_(4) is not blue by:

Answer»

a.`1^(@)` alcohol
b.`2^(@)` alcohol
c.`3^(@)` alcohol
d.

Solution :Since `3^(@)` alcohols are not oxidised by `("CHROMIC anhydride" + H_(2)SO_(4))` or `(Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)+ H_(2)SO_(4))`, so no change of `Cr^(6+)` to `Cr^(3+)`. Hence, no change of colour.

Choose the major product of the following reaction

Answer»




ANSWER :B
44.

Choose the law that corresponds to data shown for the reaction, A + B rarr products.

Answer»

Rate = `k[B]^(3)`
Rate = `k[B]^(4)`
Rate = `k[A][B]^(3)`
Rate = `k[A]^(3)[B]`

Solution :It is seen that, in EXPERIMENTS (3) and (2), [A] is constant and [B] is doubled and rates becomes 8 times, so ORDER with respect to [B] = 3. In experiments (1) and (3), [B] is constant and [A] is doubled, but rate does not change, so order with respect to [A] = 0Thus, rate = `k[B]^(3)`

Choose the incorrect statement(s).

Answer»

`[CO(NH_(3))_(5)(NO_(2)]Cl_(2)` is OBTAINED as the yellow form, in which the nitrate ligand is bound through oxygen (-ONO) and as the red form in which the nitrate ligand is bound through NITROGEN `(-NO_(2))`
`[Pt(NH_(3))_(2)Cl_(2)][Pt(NH_(3))_(2)Br_(2)]` is a co-ordination isomer of `[Pt(NH_(3))_(4)][PtCl_(2)Br_(2)]`

`CrCl_(3).6NH_(3)` can EXHIBIT solvate isomerism, very similar to ionisation isomerism

Solution :(a) N-donor causes greater splitting, hence lower wavelength is absorbed in case of `-NO_(2)` (violet absorbed, yellow transmitted).
While, O-donor causes lower spitting, hence, larger wavelength is absorbed in case of -ONO (green absorbed, red transmitted).
(b) `[Pt(NH_(3))_(2)Cl_(2)][Pt(NH_(3))_(2)Br_(2)]` is neutral in nature.
