Which one of these is NOT true for benzene

Answer»

it forms only one type of monosbustituted product
There are three carbon-carbon SINGLE bonds double bonds
The heat of hydrogenation of benzene is less than the theoretical VALUE
The BOND angle between the carbon -carbon bonds is `120^@`

Solution :Resonance gives each C-C bond in benzene some double bond character and this has been confimed by measuring bond length between two adjacent carbon atom in various compounds of benzene . The bond length C-C (`sigma` bond as in ethane) is 1.54 Å and C=C (double bond as in ethene ) is 1.33 Å.The carbon to carbon bond length in benzene has been found to be 1.39 Å which lies between single and double bond length values

Using the calculated emf value of zinc and copper electrode, calculate the emf of the following cell at 25^@C Zn(s)|Zn^(2+)(aq, 1M)|Cu^(2+)(aq, 1M)|Cu(s)

Answer»

Solution :`E_("CELL")^(@) = E_R^@ - E_L^@`
`E_(Zn//Zn^(2+)) = 0.76 V`
`E_(CU^(2+)//Cu) = -0.34V`
`E_("cell")^(@) = 0.76 - (-034)`
`E_("cell")^(@) = +1.1V`.

The stability of dihalides of Si, Ge, Sn and Pb increase steadity in the sequence

Answer»

`PbX_(2)ltltSnX_(2)ltltGeX_(2)ltltSiX_(2)`
`GeX_(2)ltltSiX_(2)ltltSnX_(2)ltltPbX_(2)`
`SiX_(2)ltltGeX_(2)ltltPbX_(2)ltltSnX_(2)`
`SiX_(2)ltltGeX_(2)ltltSnX_(2)ltltPbX_(2)`

The values of DeltaH for the combustion of ethene and ethyne are -341.1 and -310.0 kcal respectively. Which of the following is a better fuel

Answer»

`C_(2)H_(2)`
`C_(2)H_(4)`
Both of these
None of these

Solution :`DELTAH" for "C_(2)H_(4)=-341.1 K cal`
its calorific value = `(-341.1)/(28)=-12.1 KCAL//g`.
`DeltaH` for `C_(2)H_(2)` =-310.0 kcal
its Calorific value = `(-310.0)/(26)=-11.92`,
hence `C_(2)H_(2)` is a better FUEL.
