Answer»

Conductivity of ANODE solution decreases
Concentration of `PB^(2+)` increases at anode solution and decreases at cathode
`E_("cell")^(@)` depends on `K_(sp)` of `PbSO_(4)` and `K_(sp)` of `PbCl_(2)`
`E_("cell")^(@)` is zero

Solution :Anode: `Pb(s)+SO_(4)^(2-)toPbSO_(4)(s)+2e^(-)`
Cathode: `Cl_(2)+2e^(-)to2Cl^(-)`
`2Cl^(-)+Pb^(2+)toPbCl_(2)(s)`
At anode, concentration of `SO_(4)^(2-)` FALLS, so conductivity of anode solution decreases.
As `[SO_(4)^(2)]` decreases `[Pb^(2+)]` increase at anode to satisfy `K_(sp)`. At cathode concentration of `Pb^(2+)` decreases.
`E_("cell")^(@)=E_(Pb^((2+))/(Pb))^(@)+(0.059)/(2)logK_(sp)(PbCl_(2))-`
`(E_((Pb^(2+))/(Pb))+(0.059)/(2)logK_(sp)(PbSO_(4)))`
`=(0.059)/(2)log(K_(sp)(PbCl_(2)))/(K_(sp)(PbSO_(4))): E_("cell")^(@)ne0`

PbO_(2) is a stronger oxidising agent than SnO_(2). Or PbO_(2) can act an oxidiside agent.

Answer»


ANSWER :In `PbO_(2)` and `SnO_(2)` both lead and tin present in `+4` oxidation state.But due to STRONGER INERT pair effect,`Pb^(2+)` ion is more STABLE than `Sn^(2+)` ion. In other words, `Pb^(4+)` IONS i.e. `PbO_(2)`, is more easily reduced to `Pb^(2+)` ions than `Sn^(4+)` ions are reduced to `Sn^(2+)` ions.Thus, `PbO_(2)` acts as a stronger oxidising agent than `SnO_(2)`.

Paul Walden, the brilliant son of a farmer succeeded in finding a concept that is now widely known as umbrella effect in S_N2 reactions. In an S_N2 reaction, the configuration at the reaction centre is inverted as a umbrella turns inside out in a strong wind. An ideal S_N1 reaction, on the other hand, yield nearly racemised product as it proceeds through planar carbocation. S_N2 reactions proceed smoothly on primary alkyl halide whereas tertiary halides are fit for S_N1 mechanism. However, evidences indicate that all the molecules of particular substances do not necessarily react by a single mechanism.After all, the intention of the molecule is very clear, they want to follow the low energy path.If both paths have nearly the same energy barrier, then follow a mixed mechanism.For example, secondary alkyl halides follow a mixed mechanism, say 60% molecule react by S_N2 and rest 40%by S_N1 Stereochemical features, as mentioned above, are noticeable only when the reaction is carried out on a particular enantiomer.Even the reaction centres, which are paths of suitably substituted rings, also exemplify the said features. There are two basic mechanisms S_N1 and S_N2 All except one of the following substances give at least one of these two reactions enthusiastically in the absence of catalyst Identify the odd out that reacts sluggish under both the mechanisms.

Answer»

`R-CH_3-x`
`R_3C_X`
`R_3C-CH_2-X`
`R-CO-CH_2-X`

Solution :The susbstrate through is a primary halide but it is excessively branced at the `beta`-position.Such SUBSTRATE fails miserable in `S_N2` reactions even though it's a primary halide. Being a primary halide it does not react actively in `S_N1` mechanism as well.However, it reacts quite FLUENTLY by `S_N1` mechanism in PRESENCE of `Ag^+` CATALYST.

A reaction gives the following results. What should be the % age of back side attack assuming complete reactions ?

Answer»

`65%`
`30%`
`35%`
`85%`

Solution :PERCENTAGE of BACKSIDE attack=Percentage of inversion + 1/2 (Percentage of racemisation) 70% racemisation and rest 30% inversion gives 65% backside attack.
