ANSWER :C
6.

Lanthanide contraction occurs because (1) f-orbital are incompletely filled (2) f-orbital electrons are easily lost (3) f-orbital do not come out on the surface of atom and are buried inside (4) f-orbital electron are poor sheilders of nuclear charge

Answer»

SOLUTION :Key: 4
The size of lanthanides are smaller than expected.
This is associated with the filling up of 4f orbitals which MUST be filled before the 5d orbitals. The electrons in f-orbitals are not EFFECTIVE in screening other electrons from the nuclear charge.

Langmuir adsorption isotherm is deduced using at assumption

Answer»

The adsorbed molecules interact with each other
The ADSORPTION takes place in multi layers
The adsorption sites are equivalent in their ability to adsorb the particles
The heat of adsorption varies with the coverage

13.

Lantanide series arises due to

Answer»

stability of 6s-orbitals
stability of 5D-orbitals
stability of 4f-orbitals
EQUAL stability of 5d and 4f-orbitals

Solution :We know that, in `6^(th)` row after 6s-orbitals. At this stage 5d-orbitals stop its spliting and 4f-orbitals, split into 7 orbitals, and BECOME lower energy than, 5d-orbitals. Hence 4f-orbital are progressively filled and 14 new ELEMENTS are added called as lanthanides.

Lamda_(m)^(@)(H_(2)O) is equal to ______

Answer»

`Lamda_(m(HCL))^(@)+Lamda_(m(NaOH))^(@)-Lamda_(m(NaCl))^(@)`
`Lamda_(m(HNO_(3)))^(@)+Lamda_(m(NaNO_(3)))^(@)-Lamda_(m(NaOH))^(@)`

`Lamda_(m(NH_(4)OH))^(@)+Lamda_(m(HCl))^(@)-Lamda_(m(NH_(4)Cl))^(@)`

Solution :This problem is based on the concept of Kohlrausch law of independent MIGRATION of IONS : `(lamda_(m)^(@))` is the sum of limiting MOLAR conductivities of cation `lamda_(+)^(@)` and anion `lamda_(-)^(@)`.
`Lamda_(m(H_(2)O))^(@)=lamda_(m(H^(+)))^(@)+lamda_(m(OH^(-)))^(@)`
The value of `lamda_(m(H^(+)))^(@)` is OBTAINED from the `Lamda_(m(HCl))^(@)` and value of `lamda_(m(OH^(-)))^(@)` is obtained from the `Lamda_(m(NaOH))^(@)` but by doing so `lamda_(m(Na^(+)))^(@)` and `lamda_(m(Cl^(-)))^(@)` are added. So to eliminate them `Lamda_(m(NaCl))^(@)` should be subtracted.
