1.

Benzene favours ……………. Substitution reaction.

Answer»


ANSWER :ELECTROPHILIC
2.

Benzene, ethane and ethylene belong to the family of hydrocarbons. Show how the data given below is in consistent with the law of Multiple Proportions. {:("Compound",underset("in 5.0 g of the sample")("Mass of carbon"),underset("in 5.0 g of the sample")("Mass of hydrogen")),("Benzene","4.61 g","0.39 g"),("Ethane","4.00 g","1.00 g"),("Ethylene","4.29 g","0.71 g"):} .

Answer»

Solution :Let 1 g of hydrogen be the fixed MASS of hydrogen
In benzene :
1.00 g of hydrogen are combined with carbon = 4.61 g
1.00 g of hydrogen are combined with carbon `= ((4.61g))/((0.39g))xx(1.0g)=11.82g`
In ethane :
1.00 g of hydrogen are combined with carbon = 4.00 g
In ethylene :
0.71 g of hydrogen are combined carbon = 4.29 g
1.00 g of hydrogen are combined with carbon `= ((4.29g))/((0.71g))xx(1g)=6.04g`
Ratio by mass of carbon combined with 1 g of hydrogen in the three samples
`11 : 82 : : 4.00 : 6.04 ::6 : 2 : 3`
Since it is a simple whole number ratio, the LAW of MULTIPLE Proportions is obeyed.
3.

Be and Mg from amongst the p-block elements and most of the d-block elements give metallic or interstitial hydrides on reacting with hydrogen. The density of each compound is less than that of the metal itself and the properties are not much different from that of the metal. They give out hydrogen easily and are strong reducing agents. This suggests that hydrogen is present in the atomic state. these compounds are non-stoichiometric. the f-block elements (i.e., lanthanide and actinides) also form non-stoichiometric hydrides. These hydrides have lower densities than their respective metals. The metals of group 7,8 and 9 do not form hydrides. This region of the periodic table is called 'hydride gap'. Interstitial hydride can not be used as,
