What are electron deficient compounds ? Are BCl_3 and SiCl_4 electron deficient species ? Explain.

Answer»

Solution :In an electron-deficient compound, the octet of electrons is not complete, i.e., the central metal atom has an incomplete octet. Therefore, it needs electrons to complete its octet.
(i)`BCl_3` : `BCl_3`is an appropriate example of an electron-deficient compound. B has 3 valence electrons. After forming three covalent BONDS with chlorine, the number of electrons around it INCREASES to 6. HOWEVER, it is STILL short of two electrons to complete its octet.
(ii) `SiCl_4` : The electronic configuration of silicon is `ns^2np^2`. This indicates that it has four valence electrons. After it forms four covalent bonds with four chlorine atoms, its electron count increases to eight. Thus, `SiCl_4` is not an electron-deficient compound.
34.

What is the correct reactivity order of the following electrophites? Toluene, p-H_3C-C_6H_4 - CH_3,p-CH_3- C_6H_4-NO-2 ,p-O_2N-C_6H_4-NO_2

Answer»

SOLUTION :
Methyl group is an electron releasing group. It increases RECTIVITY of benzene ring with an electrophile. On the other hand nitro is an electron with drawing group. It deactivates the benzene ring towards reacting with an electrophile.
On the basis of this, we can CONCLUDE that greater the number of methyl groups attached to the ring greater is its reactivity with an electrophile, and greater the number of nitro groups on the thrring, smaller is its reactivity with an electrophile.
The activating ability order of various groups is : `NH_2 > - NHR > - NR_2 > - OH > - OR > - X`.
35.

36.

Vapour density of a gas, relative to air is 1.528. what is the mass of 2L of the gas at 27^(@)C temperature and 750 mm Hg pressure? [vapour density of air, relative to hydrogen=14.4]

Answer»

Solution :Vapour density of a gas`=("mass of certain volume of a gas")/("mass of same volume "H_(2)" gas ")`
[at certain temperature and pressure]
`therefore`Vapour density of the gas `=("mass of V "cm^(3)" of gas")/("mass of V "cm^(3)" of air")xx("mass of V "cm^(3)" of air")/("mass of V "cm^(3)" off "H_(2)" gas")`
[at the same temperature and pressure]
`=1.528xx14.4=22`
`therefore`Molecular mass of the gas=`2xx`vapour density=44
Again, volume of 1 gram-mole of any gas at STP=22.4 L
So, mass of 22.4L of given gas at STP=44g
Now, let the volume of the gas be V L at STP. i.e.,
`P_(1)=750mm,P_(2)=760mm,V_(1)=2L,V_(2)=VL,`
`T_(1)=27^(@)C=(27+273)=300K,T_(2)=273K`
`therefore (760xx2)/(300)=(760xxV)/(273) or, V=(750xx2xx273)/(300xx760)=1.796L`
Now, mass of 22.4 L of the gas at STP=44g.
`therefore`Mass of 1.796g of the gas at STP`=(44xx1.796)/(22.4)=3.528g`
HENCE, the mass of the gas =3.528g.
