The value of DeltaH and DeltaS for the reaction C_("(graphite)")+CO_92)(g) rarr 2CO(g0 are170 kJ and 170JK^(-1) respectively. This reaction will be spontaneous at |
|
Answer» 910 K or `TDeltaS gt DeltaH ` or`Tgt ( DeltaH )/( DeltaS) , i.e.,T gt (170000J)/( 170 JK^(-1))`or `T gt 1000K`. Hence, options (b) ISCORRECT. This method can be APPLIED only when `DeltaH` and`DeltaS` both are `+ve`. Alternatively, for equilibrium, `DeltaG =0` `i.e., T DeltaS = DeltaH` or `T= ( DeltaH )/( DeltaS) =( 170000)/( 170) =1000K` For spontaneity , `DeltaG = -ve`which can be so if `T gt 1000 K` ( so that`T DeltaS gt DetalH` in magnitude ) . |

When an alkali metal dissolves in liquid ammonia , the solution can acquire different colours . Explainthe reasons for this type of colour change . |
|
Answer» Solution :The dilute solution of alkali metals in liquid AMMONIA exhibit dark blue colour because ammoniated electrons absorb energy corresponding the red region of the visible light . `M + (x + y) NH_(3) to [M (NH_(3))_(x) ]^(+) + underset("Ammoniated electrons")(e^(-) (NH_(3))_(y))` However , if the concentration INCREASES above 3M, the colour CHANGES to copper-bronze and the solution acquires metallic lustre due to the formationof METAL ion clusters. |

What are the salient features of Valence Bond (VB) theory? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) When half filled orbitals of TWO atoms overlap, a covalent BOND will be formed between them. (ii) The resultant overlapping orbitals are occupied by the two electrons with opposite spins. For example when `H_(2)` is formed, the two 1s electron of two hydrogen atoms get paired up and occupy the overlapped orbitals. (iii) The strength of a covalent bond depends upon the extent of overlap of atomic orbitals. Greater the overlap, larger is the energy RELEASED and stronger will be the bond formed. (iv) Each atomic ORBITAL has a specific direction (except s-orbital which is spherical) and hence orbital overlap takes place in the direction that maximises overlap. (v) Depending upon the nature of overlap, the bonds are classified as `sigma` covalent bond and `pi` covalent bond. (vi) When two atomic orbitals overlap linearly along the axis, the resultant bond is called a sigma `(sigma)` bond. This overlap Is also called "head-on-overlap" or "axial overlap" (vii) When two atomic orbitals overlap Sideways the resultant covalent bond is called a `(pi)` bond. |
