Ozone is triatomic allotropic form of oxygen.It is an unstable , dark blue diamagnetic gas, O_3 is thermodyanamically unstable and decomposes to O_2(O_3toO_2+O) . Due to the ease with which it liberates atoms of nascent oxygen, it acts as a powerful oxidising agent second only to F_2 is oxidising power. A binary compound of oxygen with anotherelement is called oxide.The oxides vary widely in their nature and properties. KOH+O_2 to[X]+O_2+H_2O [X] is :

A binary compound of oxygen with anotherelement is called oxide.The oxides vary widely in their nature and properties. The correct order of acidic strength is :

Answer»

`K_2O LT CAO lt SiO_2 lt CuO lt CO_2 lt N_2O_5`
`K_2O lt CaOlt CuO lt SiO_2 lt CO_2 lt N_2O_5`
`CaO lt K_2Olt SiO_2 lt CuO lt CO_2 lt N_2O_5`
`K_2O ltSiO_2 lt CaO lt CuO lt CO_2 lt N_2O_5`

Solution :As difference in ELECTRONEGATIVITY between element and oxygen INCREASES, ACIDIC character decreases and basic character increases.
23.

Ozone is thermodynamically unstable. Give reasons.

Answer»

Solution :`O_(3)` on decomposition gives. `O_(2)` i.e., `2 O_(3) rarr 3 O_(2) , DELTA H^(@) (298 K) = - 142 kJ mol^(-)`.
Since `DeltaH` is negative (because `O_(3)` is an endothermic compound) and `DELTAS` is positive (because degree of RANDOMNESS increases on decomposition), therefore, according to Gibbs equation, `Delta G = Delta H - T Delta S, Delta G` is -ve and HENCE decomposition of `O_(3)` is spontaneous. In other words, ozone is themodynamically UNSTABLE.

Oxygen shows catenation behaviour less than sulphur.

Answer»

Solution :Bond energy of `S-S` bond `("213 KJ MOL"^(-1))` is greater than `O-O` bond `("138 KJ mol"^(-1))`. DUE to small SIZE of oxygen atom there is greater LP - bp repulsion in `O-O`, resulting in weakening of `O-O` bond more than in `S-S` bond. Therefore the tendency of catenation in Oxygen is LOWER than sulphur.
