Draw a sketch to show the splitting of d-orbitals in an octahedral crystal field. State for a d^(6) configuration, how the actual configuration of the split d-orbitals in an octahedral crystal field is decided by the relative values of Delta_(0) and P ?

Answer»

Solution :Splitting of d-orbitals in an octahedral field.
For `d^(6)` configuration, three electrons will first enter into `t_(2g)`. Now, if `P lt Delta_(0)`, electrons will PAIR up in `t_(2g)` orbitals, giving the configuration `t_(2g)^(6)` and if `Delta_(0)ltP`, two electrons will first enter into `e_(g)` orbitals and one will pair up in `t_(2g)` giving the configuration `t_(2g)^(4) e_(g)^(2)`.

Draw a neat diagram of sodium chloride structure and then describe it.

Answer»

Solution :The structure of NaCl is as shown below. In this case, the `Cl^(-)` ions from the cubic CLOSE PACKED arrangements. Therefore,`Cl^(-)`ions are present at all the corners and the centre of each face of the cube. The ARRANGEMENT is also regarded as face centred cubic arrangement of `Cl^(-)` ions.
The `Na^(+)` ions occupy all the octahedral SITES.
As we know that there is one octahedral site per atom in a close packed arrangement, therefore, there will be one`Na^(+)` ion for every `Cl^(-)` ion. Thus, the ratio of `Na^(+)` and `Cl^(-)` ions in this structure is 1:1.

In this structure, each `Na^(+)` ion is surrounded by 6 `Cl^(-)` ions which are disposed towards the corners REGULAR octahedron. This is also shown in the figure. Similarly, each `Cl^(-)` ion is surrounded by six `Na^(+)` ions. Thus, the coordination number of `Na^(+)` and `Cl^(-)` ions in NaCl structure is 6 and 6.

Dry air was passed through a solution containing 20g of a substance in 100-0g of water and then through pure water. The loss in mass of the solution was 2.945g and that of pure water was 0.059g. Calculate the molar mass of the substance.

Answer»

SOLUTION :We have,
`("loss in mass of PURE water")/("loss in mass of solution")=(p^(0)-p)/(p)`
or `(p^(0)-p)/(p)=(0.059)/(2.945)=0.02`
or `(p^(0))/(p)-1=0.02`
or `(p^(0))/(p)=1.02`
`(p)/(p^(0))=(1)/(1.02)`
`(p^(0)-p)/(p^(0))=1-(1)/(1.02)=0.0196`
`:.(N)/(N)=(20//M)/(100//18)=0.0196`, `M=183.6g//"MOLES"`

Answer»

<P>50
180
100
25

SOLUTION :Loss in WEIGHT of solution `prop` V.P. of solution `(p_(s))`
Loss in weight of solvent `prop=p^(@)-p_(s)`
`THEREFORE""(p^(@)-p_(s))/(p_(s))=("Loss in weight of solvent")/("Loss in weight of solution")`
`=(w_(2)//M_(2))/(w_(1)//M_(1))=(w_(2)M_(1))/(w_(1)M_(2))`
`=(0.05)/(2.5)=(10//M_(2))/(90//18)=(2)/(M_(2)) or M_(2)=100`
