Also calculate the molar concentrations of the species left behind in the final solution. Assume that lead sulphate is completely insoluble. |
|
Answer» `underset(3"mole")(3Pb(NO_(3))_(2))+underset(1"mole")(Cr_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)) to underset(3"mole")(3PbSO_(4))+underset(2"mole")(2Cr(NO_(3))_(3))` No. of moles of `Pb(NO_(3))_(2)=45xx10^(-3)xx0.25` `=11.25xx10^(-3)` mole No. of moles of `Cr_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)=25xx10^(-3)xx0.1=2.5xx10^(-3)` mole Thus, `Cr_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)` has limiting concentration. It shall be consumed fully and the number of moles of lead sulphate produced will be `=3xx2.5xx10^(-3)=7.5xx10^(-3)` mole No. of moles of lead nitrate left `=11.25xx10^(-3)-7.5xx10^(-3)` `=3.75xx10^(-3)` mole Total volume =(45.0+25.0)=70 ML of `70xx10^(-3)` litre Molarity `=(3.75xx10^(-3))/(70xx10^(-3))=0.0536 M` No. of moles of `Cr(NO_(3))_(3)` formed`=2xx2.5xx10^(-3)=5xx10^(-3)` mole Molarity `=(5xx10^(-3))/(70xx10^(-3))=0.0714 M` `Pb(NO_(3))_(2) " and " Cr(NO_(3))_(3)` will be PRESENT in solution in IONIC form. Thus, `[Pb^(2+)]=0.0536 M` `[Cr^(3+)]=0.0714 M` `[NO_(3)^(-)]=(2xx0.0536)+(3xx0.0714)` =0.3214 M |

What do you understand by (i) electron-deficient ,(ii) electron-precise , and (iii) electron-rich compounds of hydrogen ? Provide justification with suitable examples. |
|
Answer» Solution :Hydrides of group 13 (i.e, `BH_(3)` , `AlH_(3)` etc.) donot have SUFFICIENT number of electrons to FORM normal covalant bonds and hence are called elctron-deficient hydrides. To make up this deficieny ,they generally exit in polymeric forms such as `B_(2)H_(6)`, `B_(4)H_(10)` , `(AlH_(3))` etc. (ii) Hydrides of gropu 14 (i.e, `CH_(4)` , `SiH_(4)`, `GeH_(4)`, `SnH_(4)`, `PbH_(4)`) have exact number of electrons to form covalent bonds and hence are called electron-precise hydrides. All these hydrides have tetrahedral shapes. (iii) Hydrides of group 15,16 and 17 (i.e, `NH_(3)` ,`PH_(3)`,`H_(2)O`,`H_(2)S`,HF,HCL, etc.) have more electrons than required to form normal covalent bonds and hence are called electron-rich hydrides. The excess electrons in these hydrides are present as lone pairs of electrons. |

What are the necessary conditions for any system to be aromatic ? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :The necessary conditions for a molecule to be aromatic are : (i)It should have a single CYCLIC cloud of delocalised `pi`-electrons above and below the plane of the molecule. (ii)It should be planar . This is because complete delocalization of `pi`-electrons is possible only if the ring is planar to allow cyclic overlap of p-orbials. (III)It should contain Huckel number of electrons, i.e., (4n+2) `pi`-ELECTRONSWHERE n=0,1,2,3.... etc. A molecule which does not satisfy any one or more of the above conditions is said to be non-aromatic. |
