Nuclear attraction is often the deciding control factor for the association of neutral molecules to a given metal ion. Which onee of the following represents the correct order of stability of the ions? [Be(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+),[Mg(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+),[Ca(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+) and [Sr(H_(2)O)_(4)}^(2+)

Answer»

`[Be(H_(2)O_(4)]^(2+) GT [Sr(H_(2)O_(4)]^(2+)gt [Mg(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+) gt [Ca(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+)`
`[Ca(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+) gt [Mg(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+) gt [Be(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+) gt gt[S(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+)`
`[Sr(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+) gt [Ca(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+) gt [Mg(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+) gt [Be(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+)`

Not considering the electronic spin, the degenracy of the second excited state of H^(-) is

Answer»


Solution :In case of H-atom, the energies of the orbitals are in the order.
`1s lt 2s = 2p lt 3s = 3p = 3D lt 4s = 4p = 4d = 4f lt`.... ,br. In case of multielectron atoms or IONS (e.g. `H^(-)` viz `1s^(2)`), the order is
`1s lt 2s lt 2p lt 3s lt 3p`....
(i.e., they follows `(n + l)` rule)
HENCE, in case of `H^(-) (1s^(2))`, the FIRST excited state would be
`1s^(1) 2s^(1)`
Second excited state would be `1s^(1) 2s^(0) 2p^(1)`. Thus, degeneracy of the second excited state `(2p^(1))` is three viz. `2p_(x) 2p_(y) 2p_(z)`, i.e., number of degenerate orbitals = 3
[In case of H-atom `(1s^(1))`, 1st excited state would be 2s or 2p and 2nd excited state would be 3s, 3p or 3d, i.e., number of degenerate orbitals would be 1(3s), 2 (3p) and 5(3d), i.e., TOTAL = 9]
36.

Not considering the electronic spin , the degeneracy of the second excited state (n=3) of H atom is 9, while the degeneracy of the second excited state of H^- is

Answer»


Solution :Energy order of ORBITALS of H is decided by only principal quantum number (N)
while energy order of `H^-` is decided by (n+l) rule
ELECTRONIC configuration of `H^-` is `1s^2` its Energy order is decided by n+l rule
`H^(-)=1s^2 2s^0 2p^0`
Its `2^"nd"` EXCITED state is 2p and degeneracy 2p is '3'

Normally pure substance and reagents are used in chemical reactions. Explain why in the preparation of dihydrogen by actiion of dilute sulphuric acid on zinc metal, impure zinc is preferred?

Answer»

Solution :Pure Zinc is not use in the preparation of dihydrogen because its reaction with dilute `H_(2)SO_(4)` is slow. The reason being that initially formed GASEOUS hydrogen forms an EXTREMELY then film on the surface of zinc which prevents further actioin of zinc with acid.
However, the presence of impurities in zinc increases the RATE of reaction due to the formation of ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS.
40.

Normally, benzene gives electrophilic substitution reaction rather than electrophilic addition reaction although it has double bonds. Explain why ?

Answer»


Answer :Benzene has resonance STABILIZATION DUE to delocalisation of `PI`-electrons and during ELECTROPHILIC ADDITION reactions, it loses its aromaticity . In electrophilic substitution reaction aromaticity is retained.

Normality of a '30 volume H_2O_2' solution is:

Answer»

1.6
91.07
10.72
5.36

Solution :30 VOLUME `H+2O_2` MEANS that one litre of the sample GIVES 30 L of `O_(2)`at S.T.P.
`underset(68 g)(2H_(2)O_(2)) to 2H_(2)O + underset("22.4 L at S.T.P")(O_(2))`
The mass of `H_2O_2` which gives 30 L of `O_2` at S.T.P.
`=68/(22.4) xx 30 = 91.07 g`
THUS, one litre of the given sample contains 91.07 g of `H_(2)O_(2)`.
`therefore w = (N xx E xx V)/1000`
`therefore` Normality (N) `=(w xx 1000)/(E xx V)`
`=(91.07 xx 1000)/(17 xx 1000) = 5.36 N`
