Enthalpy and entropy changes of a reaction are 40.63kJmol^(-1) and 108 J K^(-1) mol^(-1) respectively . Predict the feasibility of the reaction at 27^(@)C

Answer»

Solution :Here, we are given `: Delta H =40.63 kJ mol^(-1)= 40630 J mol^(-1) , Delta S = 108 J K^(-1) mol^(-1)`
`T = 27^(@) C = 27 +273 =300K`
`:. Delta G =Delta H = T Delta S = 40630 J mol^(-1) - 300 K xx 108.8 JK^(-1) mol^(-1) = 7990 J mol^(-1)`
Since `Delta G` comes out to be positive ( i.e., ` Delta Ggt 0)` , the reaction is not feasible in the FORWARD DIRECTION.

Enlist the postulates of Bohr's atom model.

Answer»

Solution :Bohr.s atom is based on the following assumptions :
`implies` The energies of electrons are quantised .
`implies` The electron is revolving around the nucleus in a certain fixed CIRCULAR path called stationary ORBIT.
`implies` Electron can revolve only in those orbits in which the angular momentum (mvr) of the electron MUST be equal to an integral multiple of `h//2pi`.
i.e., `mvr = nh//2pi`
Where `n = 1,2,3...` etc.
`implies` As long as an electron revolves in the fixed stationary orbit, it doesn.t LOSE its energy. However, when an electron jumps from higher energy state `(E_2)` to a lower energy state `(E_1)` the excess energy is emitted as radiation. The frequency of the emitted radiation is
`E_2 - E_1 = hv`
and
`v = ((E_2 - E_1))/(h)`
`implies ` Conversely, when suitable energy is supplied to an electron, it will jump from lower energy orbit to a higher energy orbit.

ANSWER :A
26.

Write down the postulates of Bohr atom model.

Answer»


Answer :The energies of electrons are quantised
The electron is REVOLVING around the nucleus in a certain fixed circular PATH called stationary orbit.
Electron can revolve only in those ORBITS in which the angular momentum (mvr) ofthe electron must be equal to an integral multipleof ` h//2pi` .
i.e.mvr` = nh//2pi`
Where n = 1, 2, 3, . . . . etc.
As LONG as an electron revolves in the fixed stationary orbit, it doesn't lose its energy.
However, when an electron jumps from higher energy state `(E_(2))` to a lower energy state `(E_(1))` the excess energy is emitted as radiation . The frequency of the emitted radiation is
`E_(2)-E_(1)=hv`and
`v= ((E_(2)-E_(1)))/(h)`
Conversely, when suitable energy is supplied to an electron, it will jump from lower energy orbit to a higher energy orbit .
