8.

Ionisation enthalpies of Ce, Pr and Nd are higher than Th, Pa and U. Why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :In the beginning when 5f orbitals begin to be OCCUPIED, they penetrate LESS into the inner core of electrons and so 5f-electrons are more effectively shielded from the nuclear charge than 4f-electrons in lanthanoids. Hence, outer electrons in ACTINOIDS are easily available for chemical bonding and so Th, pa and U have lower ionization ENTHALPIES.
9.

Ionisation enthalpies of Ce, Pr and Nd are higher than Th, Pa and U. Why ?

Answer»

Solution :Ce, PR and Nd BELONG to4f series ( langthanoids) wheras Th, Pa and U belong to 5f series ( actinoids). When filling of 4f and 5f starts, ELECTRONS in 5f penetrate less intothe inner core. THEREFORE, they are more effectively shielded from the nuclear charge than 4f electrons of langthanoids. As a result, outer electrons of 5f series experience less force of attraction by the nucleus and hence have LOWER ionization enthalpies.
10.

Ionisation enthalphy of group - 16 elements decreases down the group Why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :It is DUE to INCREASE in SIZE.

Ionisation energy and electron affinity of fluorine are respectively 17.42 and 3.45 eV. Calculate electronegativity of fluorine atom.

Answer»


Solution :ACCORDING to Mulliken's electronegativity `(chi_(M)) = ("IONISATION energy +ELECTRON affinity")/(2)`
`= (17.42 +3.45)/(2) = 10.435`
THEREFORE, electronegativity on Pauling's SCALE `(chi_(P)) = (10.435)/(2.8) = 3.726`

ionisation constant of CH_(3)COOH is 1.7xx10^(-5)and concentration of H^(+) is 3.4xx10^(-4). Then the initial concentration of CH_(3)COOH molecules is :

Answer»

`3.4xx10^(-4)`
`3.4xx10^(-3)`
`6.8xx10^(-3)`
`1.7xx10^(-3)`

Solution :`CH_(3)COOH hArr CH_(3)COO^(-)+H^(+)`
If `alpha` is the INITIAL CONCENTRATION of `CH_(3)COOH`, then at equilibrium.
`(alpha-3.4xx10^(-4)) ""3.4xx10^(-4) ""3.4xx10^(-4)`
`K=((3.4xx10^(-4))xx(3.4xx10^(-4)))/((alpha-3.4xx10^(-4)))=1.7xx10^(-5)`
`(alpha-3.4xx10^(-4))=((3.4xx10^(-4))^(2))/(1.7xx10^(-5))`
`=6.8xx10^(-3)`
`THEREFORE alpha = 6.8xx10^(-3)+3.4xx10^(-4)~~ 6.8xx10^(-3)`

Ionic solids, which have anionic vacancies due to metal excess defect develop colour. Explain with the help of suitable example.

Answer»

Solution :Taking the example of NaCl, when its crystals are heated in presence of sodium vapour some chloride ion leave their lattice sites to combine with sodium to form NaCl. For this reaction to occur Na atoms lose electrons to form `Na^(+)` ions. The electron that has been released diffuses into the crystal to occupy the ANION vacancies created by `Cl^(-)` ions. The crystal now has EXCESS of sodium. The sites occupied by unpaired electrons are called F-centres. They impart yellow colour to the crystal because they ABSORB ENERGY from the visible light and get EXCITED.

Ionic solid B^+A^(-) crystallizes in rock salt type of structure.1.296 gm ionic solid salt B^+A^(-) is dissolved in water to make one litre solution.The pH of the solution is measured to be 6.0.if the value of face diagonal in the unit cell of B^+A^(-) be 600sqrt2 pm.Calculate the density of ionic solid in gm/cc.(T=298 K, K_b "for" BOH "is" 10^(-6),(Avogadro Number =6.0xx10^(23)))

Answer»


Solution :`pH=1/2{pK_w -pK_b- log C} IMPLIES square6=7.0-5/2-1/2"log C" " " implies " " C=0.01 M`
`:. C=1.296/("MOLAR MASS")=1/100 " " implies ` molar mass of salt =129.6
For rock salt, `600sqrt2=sqrt2a`
a=600 pm=`600xx10^(-10) cm`
effective number of formula units z=4
Now density `=Z/N_A (M/a^3)=4/(6.0xx10^23)[129.6/((600)^3xx10^(-30))]=4` gm/cc.
