1.

Compounds with high heat of formation are less stable because

Answer»

HIGH TEMPERATURE is required to synthesise them
molecules of such compounds are distorted
it is difficult to synthesise them
energy rich state leads to instability

Solution :Heat of formation is the heat evolved or absorbed when one mole of a matter is formed from its constituent elements. POSITIVE value of heat of formation indicates that the compound is less stable than its elements. Negative value of heat of formation indicates that the compound is associated with less energy as compared to its constituents and the compound is more stable. A high energy system is unstable. it tends to undergo SPONTANEOUS change in order to acquire a state of MINIMUM energy and maximum stability.

Compounds 'A' and 'B' react according to the following chemical equation A(g) + 2B(g) to 2C(g) Concentration of either 'A' or 'B' were changed keeping the concentrations of one of the reactants constant and rates were measured as a function of initial concentration. Following results were obtained. Choose the correct option for the rate of equations for this reaction.

Answer»

RATE of = `K[A]^(2)[B]`
Rate = `k[A][B]^(2)`
Rate = `k[A][B]`
Rate = `k[A]^(2)[B]^(-)`

ANSWER :B
42.

Compounds A and B react according to the following chemical equation : A(g) + 2B(g) rarr2C(g) Concentration of either A or B were changed keeping the concentrations of one of the reactantconstants and rates were measured as a function of initial concentration, Following results were obtained. Choose the correct option for the rate equations for this reaction.

Answer»

Rate = `k[A]^(2)[B]`
Rate = `k[A][B]^(2)`
Rate = `k[A][B]`
Rate = `k[A]^(2)[B]^(0)`

Solution :Let Rate law, `r=k[A]^(x)[B]^(y)""....(i)`
On putting values, we get
`0.10 = K [0.30]^(x)[0.30]^(y) ""....(ii)`
`0.40 = K[0.30]^(x)[0.60]^(y)""....(iii)`
`0.20=K[0.60]^(x)[0.30]^(y)""....(iv)`
From EQS. (ii) and (iii), we get
`(0.1)/(0.4)=[(0.30)/(0.30)]^(x)[(0.30)/(0.60)]^(y)`
`(1)/(4)=[(1)/(2)]^(y)implies y = 2`
From Eqs.(iii) and (iv), we get
`(0.40)/(0.20)=((0.30)/(0.60))^(x)((0.60)/(0.30))^(y)`
`2=((1)/(2))^(x)(2)^(y)`
On putting the values of y, we get
`2=((1)/(2))^(x)(2)^(2)`
`implies ""x=1`
On putting the values of x and y in Eq. (i), we get
`r=k[A]^(1)[B]^(2)=k[A][B]^(2)`

Compound X with a molecular formula C_(4)H_(11)N did not react with Hinsberg's reagent, but reacted with one mole of CH_(3)I to form a salt. What is the structure of X ?

Answer»

Solution :The structure of X is `UNDERSET("N, N-Dimethylethanamine")(H_(3)C-overset(C_(2)H_(5))overset("|")underset(CH_(3))underset("|")("N": ))`
Since the compound does not react with `HNO_(2)`, it must be a TERTIARY amine. Tertiary amine reacts with one mole of `CH_(3)I` to from a quaternary SALT i.e. `[(CH_(3))_(3)N^(+)-C_(2)H_(5)]I^(-)`.
