What is meant by 'Chelate effect' ? Give an example.

Answer»

Solution :When a BIDENTATE or a POLYDENTATE attaches itself to a metal ion, the complex formed is much more STABLE compared to when a monodentate attaches itself the metal ion.This is called chelate effect.
Example :
Ethylenediamine which is bidentate LIGAND attaches to the metal ion from TWO points as shown and ring is formed which makes the complex stable.

when 1.8 g of steam at the normal boiling point of water is converted inot water ,at the same temperature , enthalpy and entropy changes respectively will be[given , DeltaH_("vap")for water =40.8 KJ mol^(-1) ]

Answer»

`-8.12kJ,11 .89Jk^(-1)`
`10.25 kJ,12 .95 Jk ^(-1)`
`- 4.08 kJ,-10.93 JK^(-1)`

The standar reduction potentials of Zn^(2+)|Zn,Cu^(2+)||Cu^(2+)|Cu| Zn |Zn^(2+)||Ag^(+)|AgIIICu|Cu^(2+)||Ag^(+)|Ag What is the correctorder of E_(cell)^(@)of thesecells ?

Answer»

`II gt IIII`
`IIgtIgtIII`
`IgtIIgtIII`
`IIIgtIgtII`

SOLUTION :Given `Zn^(2+) rarrr Zn`
`CU^(2+) rarr Cu`
`Ag^(+) rarr Ag`
Cell reaction of Iis `Zn + Cu^(2+) rarr Zn^(2+) +Cu`
`E_(cell)^(@)=E_("oxidation" + E_("reduction")=+0.76 +0.34 =+1.10 V `
cellreactionof (III)is `Cu+Ag^(+) rarr Cu^(2+) +Ag`
`E_(cell)^(@) =- 0.34 +0.8 =+0.46 V`
