Calculate the total pressure in a mixture of 8g of dioxygen and 4g of dihydrogen confined in a vessel of 1 at 27°C. R = 0.083 bar . |
|
Answer» r to calculate the total pressure of a mixture of two or more gases, we NEED to use the IDEAL gas EQUATION formula, PV = nRT where N stands for the number of moles. Since it is a mixture of gases, we need to add the moles of Oxygen and hydrogen in order to GET the total moles present in the mixture and therefore we can calculate the total pressure of the mixtureP = 12.45 Pa |

Among the second period elements the actual ionization enthalpies are in the order Li < B < Be < C < O < N < F < Ne. Explain why: (i) Be has higher H than B (ii) O has lower H than N and F |
|
Answer» of IONISATION” enthalpies as given, “Li” < “B” < “Be” < “C” < “O” < “N” < “F” < “Ne” (i) ELECTRONIC configuration of Beryllium Be is Electronic configuration of Boron B is From the electronic configuration, we can see that the last electron of Be is in 2s while last electron of B is in 2p. It means “2s electron” in Beryllium is “strongly attracted” by the nucleus than “2p electron” in the Boron. Energy REQUIRED to remove 2s electron is higher than removing the 2p electron. Therefore, the Ionisation enthalpy of Beryllium is higher than Boron. (II) Electronic configuration of Oxygen is Electronic configuration of Nitrogen is Electronic configuration of Flourine is Due to decreasing atomic size ionisation enthalpy increases when we move toward RIGHT. Half-filled and fully filled orbitals have more stability that is why Nitrogen and Fluorine are more stable than Oxygen and it is difficult to remove an electron from Nitrogen and Fluorine than Oxygen. Hence, Oxygen has lower ionisation enthalpy than Nitrogen and Fluorine. |

Aluminium dissolves in mineral acids and aqueous alkalies and thus shows amphoteric character. A piece of aluminium foil is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sodium hydroxide solution in a test tube and on bringing a burning matchstick near the mouth of the rest tube, a pop sound indicates the evolution of hydrogen gas. The same activity when performed with concentrated nitric acid, reaction doesn’t proceed. Explain the reason. |
|
Answer» lowing reaction takes place in the test tube i) When Aluminium is treated with dilute HYDROCHLORIC acid. ii) When Aluminium is treated with dilute sodium hydroxide solution. In both the cases the Hydrogen atoms are evolved. So, when a BURNING match stick is brought near the test tube we HEAR a pop sound. Aluminium does not react with concentrated nitric acid. A "LAYER" of "Aluminium Oxide" is formed, when aluminium reacts with the nitric acid because "nitric acid" is an oxidising AGENT. Due to the "layer" of “Aluminium oxide”, nitric acid cannot react with the “inner aluminium metal”. |

Aluminium trifluoride is insoluble in anhydrous HF but dissolves on addition of NaF. Aluminium trifluoride precipitates out of the resulting solution when gaseous is bubbled through. Give reasons. |
|
Answer» us HF molecule will not give the F IONS, DUE to the "covalent nature" of "HF molecule", i.e., it has Strong hydrogen bonds. Hence, "Aluminium trifluoride" is INSOLUBLE in "anhydrous HF". NaF molecule gives the F ions, due to its IONIC nature. These ions combines with Aluminium trifluoride and FORMS "Sodium hexa flouro aluminate (III)". When the gaseous is passed through the solution of Sodium hexa flouro aluminate (III), precipitation of Aluminium triflouride takes place. Since Boron has a higher tendency than Aluminium to form complexes due to its small size and higher electro negativity. |

Although most of the elements in 'd' block has 2 electrons in their valence 's' shell yet their ionization energies are higher than Group 2 elements. |
|
Answer» m's size decreases across the PERIOD. So, the "ionization ENERGY" of elements "increases" as we move towards right from left in the "Periodic table". Due to the increased "nuclear charge", the valence electrons move "closer to the nucleus" of the atom when moving from "left to right". This MAKES the "force of attraction" between the "nucleus" and "electrons" to increase, so that to "REMOVE an electron" from the "valence shell" more energy is required. Hence, the ionization energy of "'d' BLOCK elements" is "higher" than the Group 2 elements. |

Although geometries of and molecules are distorted tetrahedral, bond angle in water is less than that of ammonia. Discuss. |
|
Answer» rahedral geometry of Ammonia is,In the structure of Ammonia , the atom "N" is surrounded by "three (N-H) bond" PAIRS and only one "lone pair" of ELECTRON on the N atom. The "NUMBER of BONDING electrons" is more as compared to "lone pair" of electron, therefore, "repulsion" shown by one "lone pair" in is very less towards the three bond pairs. Hence, the "bond angle is 107°", nearer to "normal tetrahedral" "bond angle of 109°".The tetrahedral geometry of is given below.In this structure of , O atom is surrounded by the two O-H bond pairs and two lone pair of electrons. Therfore, repulsion is stronger between the bond and the lone pairs. Bond pairs is repelled "more" by the "lone pairs" which RESULTS in the decrease of "bond angle to 104°".Both the Ammonia and water have the tetrahedral geometry, but they have different bond angles. Hence, bond angle of "water" is less than "Ammonia". |

An electron and a proton are possessing the same amount of kinetic energy. Which of the two have greater wavelength? |
|
Answer» actually considering that the particles are non-relativistic. The mass of a proton is approximately about 1800 TIMES the mass of an electron Given that, the kinetic energies of the electron and proton are equal, we can use the formula On simplification we get TAKING square ROOT on both sides, we get Formula for momentum, (p) = mv So, So, The "de Broglie WAVELENGTH" of a particle is "dependent" on its "momentum". From (1) and (2), we can conclude that the electron's wavelength is AROUND 42 times the proton's wavelength and hence, the electron's wavelength is longer than the proton's wavelength. |

An astronaut in an orbiting space-ships spilled a few drops of his drink, and the liquid floated around the cabin. In what geometric shape is each drop most likely to be found ? Explain. |
|
Answer» space ship which are in orbit, the objects in it would be in freefall. This means that the only force ACTING on these objects is GRAVITY and there would be no other force (like friction, tension, air resistance ETC.) acting on them because of this free-fall, the objects render themselves as weightless. THUS in this scenario, surface tension shapes the drops of the drink into spheres. Each molecule in the DROP is pulled with equal tension by its neighbours. This spherical shape yields the "smallest surface area" per unit "volume" due to surface tension. |

An alkene 'A' contains three C–C, eight C–H σ–bonds, one C–C π –bond. 'A' on ozonolysis gives two moles of an aldehyde of molar mass 44 u. Write the IUPAC name of 'A'. |
|
Answer» a given in the question is that 'A' on ozonolysis yields 2 moles of an ALDEHYDE. As there are two moles of aldehyde being formed, it denotes that on both sides of the double bond having CARBON ATOMS, there exists identical structural units. This is represented as XC=CXBut we also know that the molar mass of the aldehyde is 44 u. So, it should be ethanalNow, we need to write two moles of ethanal next to each other such that their oxygen atoms point each other.If we "remove the oxygen" atoms and join the two moles of ethanal by a double bond, we will get the "structure of alkene" 'A' containing 3 C-C, 8 C-H σ-bonds and 1 C-C π -bond.The IUPAC Name of 'A' is But-2-ene. |

What is vsepr theory ? describe it's rule and limitations.( explain 300 words) |
|
Answer» s a theory that chemists apply in order to determine the shape of a molecule. This principle says that in order to minimize repulsion interactions by electrons, molecules will adopt a shape in such a way that the bonds and lone pairs of electrons are as far away from each other as possible.Chemical bonds are made up of electrons which are negatively charged. Since like-charges repel one another, the bonds and electrons want to have as much space in between them as possible so they aren't repelling one another. It's kind of like someone getting really close to you and 'getting in your bubble,' your natural reaction is to back up right?Let's use methane as an example. Methane contains four hydrogen atoms bonded to a central carbon atom. In order to maximize the distance between the four bonds in methane, it adopts a geometrical shape called a tetrahedron.Methane adopts a tetrahedral shape according to VSEPR theorynullVSEPR theory can be used to predict the shape of virtually any molecule PROVIDED we know how many bonds and lone pairs of electrons the central atoms contains. The term lone pairs is used to describe a pair or pairs of electrons that reside on the central atom but aren't involved in chemical bonding.Limitations of VSEPRAlthough VSEPR is a great tool for determining molecular shape, there are two big limitations to this theory.BOND Angle DeviationsOne of the main limitations of VSEPR theory is that it cannot predict the degree to which bond angles may deviate from idealized cases. For instance let's look at methane and water side-by-side. VSEPR theory predicts that both molecules should have a tetrahedral shape since they both contain four groups of electrons around their central atoms (carbon for methane and oxygen for water).Water actually adopts a bent shape instead of a tetrahedral shape. The fact that the bond angle for water is so different from methane is not something that VSEPR theory is able to predict or explain, especially from a numerical standpoint. ORSteps to Using VSEPR Draw a Lewis structure for the ion or molecule in question. Determine the number of ELECTRON groups around the central atom. Each lone pair of electrons counts as a single group. Each bond counts as a single group, even if it is a double or triple bond. Find the corresponding electron geometry from the table. Determine the number of lone pairs and the number of bonding pairs around the central atom, and use that to find the molecular geometry.VSEPR Notation VSEPR notation gives a general formula for classifying chemical species based on the number of electron pairs around a central atom. Note, however, that not all species have the same molecular geometry. For example, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide are both species, but one is linear and the other is bent. Sometimes, the notation is expanded to INCLUDE lone pair electrons. This can get confusing because water can be referred to as a species depending on the conventions the author or text chooses. In general, A is used to represent the central atom. B or X is used to represent the number of atoms bonded to the central atom. E represents the number of lone pairs on the central atom (ignore lone pairs on bonded atoms). Again, this theory is also not void of any limitations. We will now discuss the common limitations of the VSEPR theory.Limitations of the VSEPR theory The VSEPR model is not a theory. It does not explain or attempt to explain any observations or predictions. Rather, it is an algorithm that accurately predicts the structures of a large number of compounds. VSEPR is simple and useful but does not work for all chemical species. First, the idealized bond angles do not always match the measured values. For example, VSEPR predicts that and will have the same bond angles, but structural studies have shown the bonds in the two molecules are different by 12 degrees. VSEPR also predicts that group-2 halides such as will be linear when they are actually bent. Quantum mechanics and atomic orbitals can give more sophisticated predictions when VSEPR is INADEQUATE.
