When we move from HF to HCl , the boiling point sharply buton moving further to HBr and HI the boiling point increases. Why ? Or Out of HF, HCl , HBr and HI which has boiling point and why?

Answer»

Solution :In H-F , there is H-boiling point is high . There is no H-bonding in HCl . So the
boiling point is less . On moving further to HBr and HI, the size of the molecule increases and so the
VAN der WAALS forces increase and so does the boiling point . Hence , HCl has the LOWEST boiling point.

The value of K_(w) is 9.55xx10^(-14) at a certain temperature. Calculate the pH of water at this temperature .

Answer»

Solution :Here, we are given : `K_(w)= 9.55xx10^(-14)`
Now, as for WATER, `[H_(3)O^(+)]=[OH^(-)] :. K_(w)=[H_(3)O^(+)][OH^(-)]=[H_(3)O^(+)][H_(3)O^(+)]=[H_(3)O^(+)]^(2)`,
i.e., `[H_(3)O^(+)]^(2) = 9.55xx10^(-14) or [H_(3)O^(+)]=sqrt(9.55xx10^(-14))=3.09xx10^(-7)M`
`:. PH = - log [H_(3)O^(+)]=-log (3.09xx10^(-7))=-[log 3.09+ log 10^(-7)]=- [ 0.49-7]=6.51`.

Which of the following has the highest boiling point ? (i)2-methylpentane, (ii)2,3-dimethylbutane , (iii)2,2-dimethylbutane.

Answer»

Solution :As the branching INCREASES , surface area decreases. As a result, magnitude of van der WAALS forces of attraction decreases and hence the boiling point decreases. Now 2-methylpentane has the largest surface area and hence has the highest boiling point. Further because of the presence of two BRANCHES on the same carbon, 2,2-dimethylbutane has LOWER surface area and hence has lower boiling point than that of 2,3-dimethylbutane. Thus, the overall order of decreasing boiling points is : 2-methylpentane (333 K) gt 2,3- dimethylbutane (331 K) gt 2,2-dimethylbutane (323 K)

What is the effect of resonance? Write about its types ?

Answer»

Solution :The resonance effect is defined as the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two `pi`-bonds or between a `pi`-bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom. The effect is transmitted through the chain. These are two types as resonance or mesomeric effect designed of R or M effect.
(a) Positive resonance (+R) or mesomeric (+M) effect: (i) Definition: When the transfer of electron is AWAY from an atom or substituent group attached to the conjugated system. This electron displacement makes CERTAIN POSITIONS in the molecule of high electron densities. So this is called positive resonance (+R) effect. (ii) e.g. In aniline `-OH` group containing (+R) and (+M) effect and the non-bonding electron pair of N is transfer in BENZENE ring and aniline becomes polar. Due to this effect the electron density is increases at some position.

Its structure (II, III) and (IV) are polar and lone pair electron of `overset(..)(N)` at definite position and negative charge and more electron density. (iii) The other examples of +R or +M effect containing groups are as under. `-X, -OH, -OR, -OCOR, -NH_(2), -NHR, -NR_(2)- NHCOR`
(b) Negative resonance effect (-R) or negative mesomeric effect (-M): (i) Definition: When the transfer of electron is towards the atom or substituent group attached to the conjugated system then these groups are called (-R) or (-M) effect.
(ii) e.g. : In nitrobenzene, `-NO_(2)` group containing (-R) means (-M) effect and the electron pair of `pi`-bond with N of out side of ring. Therefore nitrobenzene molecule become polar and at certain position the electron density decrease in ring and become positive

Structure (II), (III), (IV) are polar. The electron pair of ring transfer at out side in O-N bond and (+) charge is at specificposition and electron density is less
(iii) (-R) means (-M) effect containing groups are `-COOH, -CHO, gt C= O, -CN, -NO_(2)`
