(I) State the trends in the variation of electronegativity in period and group. (II) The electron gain enthalpy of chlorine is 348 kJ mol-1 . How much energy in kJ is released when 17.5 g of chlorine is completely converted into Cl-1 ions in the gaseous state?

Answer»

(I) Variation of electronegativity in a period: 

The electronegativity increases across a period from left to right. Since the atomic radius decreases in a period, the attraction between the valence electron and the nucleus increases. Hence the tendency to attract shared pair of electrons increases, ‘therefore, electronegativity increases in a period.

(II) Water is amphoteric in nature and it behaves both as an acid as well as base. With acids stronger than itself (e.g., H2S) it behaves as a base and with bases stronger than itself (e.g., NH, ) it acts as an acid.

22553.

Which of the following amino acids may or may not be protonated at neutral pH?(a) Glutamate(b) Lysine(c) Histidine(d) Arginine

Answer» Right option is (c) Histidine

To explain: The amino acids may be negatively charged, positively charged or neutral at a neutral pH. Here, Arginine and Lysine are positively charged or protonated at neutral pH, while Glutamate is negatively charged at neutral pH. However, Histidine may or may not be protonated at normal pH. The side chain of Histidine has a pKa of 6.5, which means only 10% of Histidine is protonated.

0.0333 M `KMnO_4` is used for the following titration.What volume of the solution in ml will be required to read with 0.158 g of `Na_2S_2O_3`? (Mol. Wt. of `Na_2S_2O_3=158`) `S_2O_3^(2-)+MnO_4^(-)+H_2O to MnO_2(s)+SO_4^(2-)+OH^(-)` (not balanced)

Answer» Correct Answer - 80
`S_2O_3^(2-)to2SO_4^(2-)`
Change in oxidation number of sulphur per molecule of `S_2O_3^(2-)=2xx(6-2)=8`
Change in oxidation number of Mn per molecule of `MnO_4^(-)=7-4=3`
No of moles in 0.158 g of `Na_2S_2O_3=0.158/158=1xx10^(-3)`
No of equivalents =`8xx10^(-3)`
Normality of 0.0333 M `KMnO_4` solution =`0.0333xx3=0.1`
Let V ml of volume of `KMnO_4` be required, then
`V/1000xx0.1=8xx10^(-3)`
or V=80 ml

Derive the Meyer’s relationship.

Answer»

We have, q = C × ∆T 

At constant volume, qv = Cv × ∆T = ∆U 

At constant pressure, qp = Cp × ∆T = ∆H 

For 1 mole of an ideal gas, 

∆H = ∆U + ∆(pV) = ∆U + ∆(RT) = ∆U + R∆T 

∴ ∆H = ∆U + R∆T 

On putting the values of ∆H and ∆U, 

Cp ∆T = Cv ∆T + R∆T 

Cp = Cv + R 

Cp – Cv = R, which is the Meyer’s relationship.

22569.

In a process, 701 J of heat is absorbed by a system and 394 J of work is done by the system. What is the change in internal energy for the process?

Answer»

Heat absorbed by the system, (q) = + 701 J

 Work done by the system (w) = – 304 J 

Change in internal energy (∆U) = q + w 

= 701 – 394 

= 307 J

Answer»

1. ∆U= q + w = 9 + w = 701J – 394 J = 307J 

2. Expansion of a gas in vacuum is called free expansion. No work is done during free expansion of an ideal gas whether the process is reversible or irreversible.

Do you think Indian films have certain basic weaknesses? Illustrate your answer citing examples from the films you have seen. 

Answer»

Yes, Indian films have some weaknesses like they put songs in the movie when there is no need at all. Even they look far away from reality and commonhoods because of the baseless scenes and dialogues. The same thing I found in the film—'Bade-Miyan Chote-Miyan'. The characters, the story and even dialogues are not impressive. It also lacks some connectivity factor.

Implications of price floor

Answer»

A price floor is the lowest legal price that can be paid in a market for goods and services, labor, or financial capital. Perhaps the best-known example of a price floor is the minimum wage, which is based on the normative view that someone working full time ought to be able to afford a basic standard of living.

Price floors are sometimes called price supports because they support a price by preventing it from falling below a certain level.

Price floors prevent a price from falling below a certain level.

When a price floor is set above the equilibrium price, quantity supplied will exceed quantity demanded, and excess supply or surpluses will result.

When government laws regulate prices instead of letting market forces determine prices, it is known as price control.

Effects of Price Floor: 

(i) Minimum Return: Farmers are ensured with the minimum returns as their products are completely sold in the market at comparatively higher price. This leads to an increase in their level of income. 

(ii) Maximum Level of output: The government ensures to buy the full produce of the farmers which are not sold in the market at the price floor. Hence, they are able to produce the maximum level of output. 

(iii) Burden on Government: It also puts extra burden on the government revenues. It becomes mandatory for the government to purchase the excess produce, even if it runs a sufficient volume of buffer stocks. 

(iv) Higher Taxes: The government also tries to shift the burden (associated with purchasing the excess produce at higher price) to the consumers and the traders in form of higher taxes.
