In which of the following molecules mu(oberved) is found to be greater than mu (theoretical):

Answer»

`CHCl_(3)`


Solution :
Due to steric repulsion AMONG Cl-atoms observed `angleClCCl` is found to be greater than expected.

BOND angle between both `C-Cl` bonds is greater than `60^(@)` due to steric repulsion between both Cl-atom, HENCE `mu_(D)("observed")ltu_(D)("theoretical")`

Observed bond angle between both `C-NO_(2)` bonds is found to be greater than `60^(@)` due to steric repulsion between `NO_(2)` groups, hence `mu_(D)("observed")ltu_(D)("theoretical")`

Observed bond angle between both `C-O and C-Cl ` bonds is found to be less than `60^(@)` due to intramolecular H-bonding present in it, hence `mu_(D)("observed")ltu_(D)("theoretical")`
35.

In what way, is the electronic configuration of transition elements different from that of non- transition elements ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The transition ELEMENTS INVOLVE the filled d- orbitals whereas the representative elements involve the filling of s or p-orbitals.
General electronic configuration of transition element :`(n-1) d^(1) - 10 s^(1 - 2)`
General electronic configuration of representative elements : `ns^(1 - 2)` or `ns^(2)NP^(1-6)`. On comparison of the above electronic configurations, we FIND that in the representative elements, only the last shell is incomplete whereas in transition elements the last but one shell is also incomplete.

In what volume ratio should you mix 1.00 M solution NH_(4)Cl and 1.00 M NH_(3) to produce a buffersolution of pH 9.80 ? [pK_(b)(NH_(3))=4.74]

Answer»

`1:1.35`
`3.5 :1`
`2:1`
`1:2`

Solution :`[NH_(4)Cl]=V_(1)mL =V_(1)` millimol
`[NH_(3)]=V_(2)mL =V_(2)` millimol
`=pH =9.80 , POH =4.2`
`pOH =pK_(a)+LOG.(V_(1))/(V_(2))`
`4.2 =4.74 +log. (V_(1))/(V_(2))`
`-0.54=log. (V_(1))/(V_(2))`
or `log.(V_(2))/(V_(1))=0.54`
`(V_(2))/(V_(1))=` antilog `0.54=3.5`
Thusl, `(V_(2))/(V_(1))=(3.5 )/(1)`
