Giving proper justification categorise the following molecules/ions as nucleophile or electrophile : HS^(-), BF_(3), C_(2)H_(5)O^(-), (CH_(3))_(3)N, Cl^(+), CH_(3)overset(+)(C) = O, H_(2)N:^(-), overset(+)(N)O_(2).

Answer»

SOLUTION :(i) Nucleophiles : `Hunderset(..)overset(..)(S):^(-), C_(2)H_(5)UNDERSET(..)overset(..)(O):^(-), (CH_(3))_(3)N:, H_(2)overset(..)(N):^(-)`
All these species have one or more lone pairs of electrons which it can easily donate to an ELECTROPHILE and hence behave as nucleophiles.
(ii) Electrophiles : `BF_(3), Cl^(+), CH_(3)overset(+)(C) = O, overset(+)(N)O_(2)`
All the POSITIVELY charged species have a sextet of electrons around the positively charged atom and hence can accept a pair of electrons and them behave as electrophiles.
Similarly, B has only a sextet of electrons in the valence shell and hence `BF_(3)`, though neutral, also ACTS as an electrophile.
4.

Giving justification, catogories the following species as Nuclophile or Electrophile . (i) SO_(3) (ii) C_(2)H_(5)O

Answer»

SOLUTION :(i) `SO_(3)`- Electoplite, because it is an electron deficient and accepts a pair of electrons.
(II) `C_(2)H_(5)O`- Nucleophile because it is electron rich and donates electrons.

Given two unfair assumptions of Kinetic theory of gas. Justify them.

Answer»

Solution :We find that two assumptions of the kinetic theory do not hold good.
There is no force of attraction between the molecules of a GAS : If assumption is CORRECT, the gas will NEVER liquify. However, we know that GASES do liquify when cooled and compressed. Also, liquids formed are very difficult to compress. This means that forces of repulsdion are powerful enough ad prevent squashing of molecules in tiny volume.
`therefore` There must be attraction force present between molecules of gases.
Volume of the molecules of a gas is negligibly small in comparison to the space occupied by the gas : If assumption is correct, the presure vs volume graph of experimental DATA (real gas) and that theoretically calculated from Boyle.s law (ideal gas) should coincide But such thing is not possible so Assumptions are unfair.

Phenolphthalein : eq. `HCl=(1)/(2)` eq. `Na_(2)CO_(3)`
`y=d`
Methyl orange :
eq. HCl = eq. `NaHCO_(3)+` eq. `Na_(2)CO_(3)`
`z=c+2d`
`IMPLIES d=yimplies[Na_(2)CO_(3)]=(y)/(100)M`
`c=z-2dimplies[NaHCO_(3)]=(z-2y)/(100)M`

Giventhat the solubility product of BaSO_(4) is 1xx10^(-10). Will a precipitate form when (i) Equal volumes of 2xx10^(-3)M BaCl_(2) solution and 2xx10^(-4) M Na_(2)SO_(4) solution are mixed ? (ii) Equal volumes of 2xx10^(-8) MBaCl_(2) solution and 2xx10^(-3)M Na_(2)SO_(4) solution are mixed ?

Answer»

Solution : (i) `BaCl_(2)` ionizes completely in the solution as :
`BaCl_(2) rarr Ba^(2) + 2 Cl^(-) :. [Ba^(2+)]=[BaCl_(2)]=2xx10^(-3)M` (Given)
`Na_(2)SO_(4)` ionizes completely in the solution as :
`Na_(2)SO_(4) rarr 2Na^(+)+SO_(4)^(2-) :. [SO^(4)^(2-) :. [SO_(4)^(2-)] = [ Na_(2)SO_(4)]=2xx10^(-4)M` (Given)
Since equal volumes of the two solutions are mixed together, therefore, the concentrations of `Ba^(2+)` ions and `SO_(4)^(2-)` ions after mixing will be
`[Ba^(2+)]=(2xx10^(-3))/(2) = 10^(-3) M and [SO_(4)^(2-)]=(2xx10^(-4))/(2) = 10^(-4)M`
`:. ` Ionic PRODUCT of `BaSO_(4) = [ Ba^(2+)][SO_(4)^(2-)]=10^(-3)xx10^(-4)=10^(-7)`
which is greater than the solubility product `(1xx10^(-10))` of `BaSO_(4)` . Hence, a precipitate of `BaSO_(4)` will be FORMED.
(ii) Here, the concentrations before mixing are :
`[Ba^(2+)]=[BaCl_(2)]=2xx10^(-8) M ` (Given), `[SO_(4)^(2-)]=[Na_(2)SO_(4)]=2xx10^(-3)M ` (Given)
`:.` Concentrations after mixing equal volumes willbe :
`[Ba^(2+)]= (2xx10^(-8))/(2) = 10^(-8)M and [SO_(4)^(2-)] = (2xx10^(-3))/(2) = 10^(-3) M`
`:.` Ionic product of `BaSO_(4) = [ Ba^(2+)][SO_(4)^(2-)]=10^(-8) xx 10^(-3)=10^(-11)`
which is less than the solubility product `(1xx10^(-10))`. Hence, no ppt. will be formed in this case.

` Z_(+), Z_(-) = `CHARGE on the cation and anion respectively
`d = r_(+) + r_(-)`, i.e., SUM of ionic radii in pm
`U_(L)` = LATTICE ENERGY in kJ `mol^(-1)`
Here,` v = 2 , z_(+) = + 2, z_(-) = - 2, z_(-) = 2 , i.e., |z_(+)| = 2 , |z_(-)| = 2 `
` d = r_(+) + r_(-) = 144 + 185 = 299 pm`
`U_(L) = 120250 ((2xx2xx2)/(299))(1 - (34.5)/(299)) = 2846 " kJ mol "^(-1)`.

Given that for He^(+) ion, the difference between the longest wavelength line of Balmer series and Lymen series is 133.8 nm, calculate the value of Rydberg constant.

Answer»

Solution :For H-like PARTICLE.
`bar(v) = (1)/(lamda) = RZ^(2) ((1)/(n_(1)^(2)) - (1)/(n_(2)^(2)))`
where R is Rydberg constant
For `He^(+), Z = 2` and for LONGEST wavelength line of Balmer series, `n_(1) = 2, n_(2) =3`. Hence,
`(1)/(lamda_("Balmer")) = R (2)^(2) ((1)/(2^(2)) - (1)/(3^(2))) = 4R ((1)/(4) - (1)/(9)) = 4R xx (5)/(36) = (5R)/(9) or lamda_("Balmer") = (9)/(5R)`
For longest wavelength in Lyman series, `n_(1) =1, n_(2) = 3=2`. Hence,
`lamda_("Lyman") = R (2)^(2) ((1)/(1^(2)) - (1)/(2^(2))) = 4R (1 - (1)/(4)) = 4R xx (3)/(4) = 3R or lamda_("Lyman") = (1)/(3R)`
Given `lamda_("Balmer") - lamda_("Lyman") = 133.8 xx 10^(-9)m`
`:. (9)/(5R) - (1)/(3R) = 133.8 xx 10^(-9) or (1)/(R) ((9)/(5) - (1)/(3)) = 133.8 xx 10^(-9)`
or `(1)/(R) xx (22)/(15) = 133.8 xx 10^(-9) or R = (22)/(15) xx (1)/(133.8 xx 10^(-9)) = 1.0961 xx 10^(9) m^(-1)`
