A beaker contains a solution of substance 'A'. Precipitations of substance 'A' takes place when small amount of 'A' is added to the solution. The solution is …….

Answer»

Saturated
Super saturated
Unsaturated
Concentrated

SOLUTION :Explanation : A super saturated solution is a solution that contains lesser tham maximum AMOUNT of solute per given amount of solvent at a PARTICULAR temperature. If even a SMALL amount of solute is added to such a solution it precipitates / crystallised rapidly. It should be noted that a super saturated solution differs from unsaturated solution in the sense that NO precipitation or crystallisation would occur by adding even a small amount of solute to it, rather it goes into solution and remains dissolved at a particular temperature.

A beaker containing 20 g sugar in 100 g water and another containing 10 g sugar in 100 g water are placed under a bell - jar and allowed to stand until equilibrium is reached. How much water will be transferred from one beaker to the other ?

Answer»

Solution :At equilibrium, both solutions will have the same VAPOUR pressure which will be so when they have the same molar CONCENTRATION. Thus, some water from dilute solution will be transferred to concentrated solution. Suppose w g of water is transferred from beakder 1 containing 10 g sugar/100 g of water to the beaker 2 containing 20 g sugar/100 g of water. Taking the density of both the solutions to be nearly same `(="d g mL"^(-1))`
Molar concentration of sugar in beaker 1
`=(10)/(342)XX(1)/(((100-w))/(d))xx1000=(10)/(342)xx(1000d)/(1000-w)"mol L"^(-1)`
Molar concentration of sugar in beaker 2
`=(20)/(342)xx(1000d)/(1000+w)"mol L"^(-1)`
`therefore""(10)/(342)xx(1000d)/(100-w)=(20)/(342)xx(1000d)/(1000+w)`
`"or"(10)/(100-w)=(20)/(100+w)"or"(1)/(100-w)=(2)/(100+w)"or"100+w=200-2w`
`"or"3w=100"or"2=33.3g`

Answer»

Solution :WATER vapour will be transferred from the more DILUTE solution to the more CONCENTRATED solution until both SOLUTIONS have the same concentration.

A bcc element (atomic mass 65) has cell edge of 420 pm. Calculate its density in g cm^(-3) .

Answer»

Solution :Atomic mass of element = 65
Edge length , a = 420 pm = `420 xx 10^(-10) cm`
Number of ATOMS per unit CELL = 2 (for bcc structure)
DENSITY of unit cell , (d) `=(ZXX M)/(N_A xx a^3 xx 10^(-30)) g cm^(-3)`
`= (2 xx 65 g "mol"^(-1))/( 6.02 xx 10^(23) "mol"^(-1) xx (420)^3 xx 10^(-30)) cm^3`
` = 2.914 g cm^(-3)`

A basic volatile nitrogen compound give a foul smelling gas when treated with chaloroform and alcoholic potash. A0.295 gm sample of the substance dissolved in aqueous HCl and treated withNaNO_2 solution at0^@C libreated a colourless , odorless gas whose volume corresponded to112 ml atSTP. After the evoltion fo the gas was complte , the aqueous solution was distilled to give an orgfanic liquid which did not coniain nitrogen and wihic on watemiing with alkali and iodine gave a uellow preciptitate , Idntify the orginal substance assuming that it contains one (N) atom per molecule .

Answer»

Solution :A basic , volatile nitrogen compound is primary amine .

`NaNO_2 HCl overset(0^@C) (rarr) NaCl + HNO_2`
` UNDERSET ("It contains one (N) atom")(RNH_2+NHO_2) overset (0^@C)(rarr) R-underset (("Coloruless gas")) (OH +N_2 + N_2O)`
At `STP 112 ml` of colorless gas is evolved with ` 0. 295 gm` sample of substance after treatment with aqueous `HCl` and ` NaNO_2` at ` 0^2C`.
So ,a t ` STP 22400 ml` coloruless fas will be evolved with
` (0. 295 xx 2224000)/( 112) = 59 gm` of sample of such substance after above treatment . Hence , the MOLECULAR weith of ` RNH_2 ` is 59.
`:.` Weightor ` R+ 14 +2 = 59`
Weith of ` R= 43`
So (R ), is ` C_3 H_7 - ( :. "Weigth of"C_3 H_7 -= 43)`. Thus , the GIVE substance is

(a) Based on the nature of intermolecular forces, classify the following solids: Silicon carbide, Argon. (b) ZnO turns yellow on heating. Why? ( c) What is meant by groups 12-16 compounds? Give an example.

Answer»

Solution :These are the compounds prepared by combination of group 12 and group 16 elements and behave like semiconductors, e.g., ZnS, CdS, CdSe, etc. The bonds in these compounds are not PERFECTLY covalent and the IONIC CHARACTER depends on the electronegativities of the two elements.

(a) Based on the nature of intermolecular forces, classify the following solids: Benzene, Silver. (b) AgCl shows Frenkel defect while NaCl does not. Give reason. ( c) What type of semiconductor is formed when Ge is doped with Al?

Answer»

Solution :(a) Benzene: MOLECULAR solid, Silver: metallic solid.
AGCL shows Frenkel DEFECT, while NaCl does not, this is because size of `Ag^(+)` ion is smaller than `Na^(+)` ion. So, `Ag^(+)` ion can easily fit into interstitial site of crystal lattice while `Na^(+)` does not.
( c) p-type semiconductor is formed as Al is TRIVALENT (group-13 ELEMENT).

A base type indicator B differs in colour from its conjugate acid.(BH^(+)) .Acidic form is red in colour while basic form is blue in colour. Human eye can sense blue colour distincity when ratio of blue form concentration to red form cocnentration is (a)/(b). or more.However ,red colour can be sensed by human eye distinctly when ratio of red form concentration of blue form concentration is (c)/(d) or more. Determine the pH range of solution in which human eyes will be unable to observe distinct red or distinctly blue colour.Take ionisation of B as K_(eq).

Answer»

SOLUTION :`:.pOH=pK_(eq)+log((["Acidic form"])/(["Baic form"]))=pK_(eq)+log((["Red"])/([BLUE]))`
`(pOH)_(blue)=pK_(eq)+log((B)/(a))` and `p(OH)_(red)=pK_(eq)+pK_(eq)+log((C)/(d))`
so RANGE `=pH_(blue)` to `pH_(red)=14-pK_(eq)-log((b)/(a))` to `14-pK_(eq)-log((c)/(d))`

Butan-2-one gives sodium bisulphite addition product, whereas pentan-3-one does not. Why? (Test to differentiate Butan-2-one and pentan-3-one) f. h. There are two (-NH_(2)) groups in semicarbazide, of them which group reacts with (C=O) group and why?

Answer»

Solution :a.
b.
With one equivalent of LAH at low temperature, the reaction can be used to avoid over-reduction and proceed only upto aldehyde stage. Deactivated reducing agents such as lithium triethoxyaluminium hydride or DBAH may also be used.
Mechanism:

c. i.
ii.
It gives geometrical isomers (disastereomers) which can be separated. Similar reactions are possible with other derivatives of ammonia, i.e., `NH_(2)NH_(2), PhNHNH_(2), 2,4-DNP`, semicarbazide `(H_(2)N NHCONH_(2))`, etc. SIMILARLY, `HCHO`, `PhCOPh` (benzophenone),`MeCH_(2)COCH_(2)Me` (pentan`-3-`one), etc.,will GIVE one compound, whereas `MeCHO`,`PhCOMe` (acetophenone),`PhCHO`, and `MeCH_(2)COMw` (butan`-2-`one) will give two geometrical isomers.
d. i.
ii.
It gives enantiomers (optical isomers) due to the chiral centre. They arae difficult to separate since the chemical and physical properties of enantiomers are same. HOWEVER, they can be separated by biochemical method using enzymes and making their diastereomers.
Similarly, `HCHO, MeCOMe, PhCOPh` (benzopehenone), `MeCH_(2)COCH_(2)Me` (pentan`-3-`one) will give only one compound, whereas `MeCHO, PhCOMe` (acetophenone), and `MeCOCH_(2)Me` (butan`-2-`one) will give two optical isomers.
e. 3-Pentanone undergoes `NA` reaction with `HCN`, `NH_(3)`, `ROH`, etc., but with `NaHSO_(3)`, it does not react. This is due to the following:
i. Large-sized nucleophile `(SO_(3)^(2-))`.
ii. Due to steric hindrance by two bulky ethyl group.

f. No reaction, since ketone does not react with monohydric alcohol.
h. Semicarbazide `(overset(a)NH_(2)NHCOoverset(b)NH_(2))` reacts with `(C=O)` with `(overset(a)NH_(2))` group, since `(overset(b)NH_(2))` group closer to `(C=O)` group is deactivated by resonance stabilisation. Hence, `(overset(b)NH_(2))` group no longer acts as nucleophile. So, `(overset(a)NH_(2))` group is more nucleophilic than the `(overset(b)NH_(2))` group.

`A:C_(6)H_(5)-CH(OH)-NH-C_(6)H_(5)`
`B:C_(6)H_(5)-NC`
`C:C_(6)H_(5)-C(OH)=N-C_(6)H_(5)`

Answer :B
91350.

(A), (B) and (C) are three non-cyclic functional isomers of a carbonyl compound with molecular formula C_4H_(8)O. Isomers (A) and (C) give positive Tollens' test whereas isomer (B) does not give Tollens' test but gives positive Iodoform test. Isomers (A) and (B) on reduction with Zn(Hg)/conc. HCl give the same product (D). (a) Write the structures of (A), (B), (C) and (D). (b) Out of (A), (B) and (C) isomers, which one is least reactive towards addition of HCN ?

Answer»

Solution :(a) STRUCTURES of A, B, C and D are given below :
`UNDERSET("Butanal-1")(A=CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO)`
`underset("Butan-2-one")(B=CH_(3)COCH_(2)CH_(3))`
`underset("2-Methylpropanal")(C=CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-CHO)`
`underset("Butane")(D=CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3))`
(b) B i.e., `CH_3COCH_2CH_3` is the LEAST reactive towards addition of HCN.
