Answer» |
|
| 22. |
In each of the following pairs of salts, which one is more stable and why ? (i) Ferrous and ferric salts (ii) Cuprous and cupric salts. |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Electronic configuation Fe atom (Z = 26) is `1s^(2) 2s^(2) 2p^(6) 3s^(2) 3p^(6) 3d^(6) 4s^(2)` `:.` Electronic configuration of `Fe^(2+)` ion `= 1s^(2) 2s^(2) 2p^(6) 3s^(2) 3p^(6) 3d^(6)` Electronic configuration of `Fe^(3+) " ion " = 1s^(2) 2p^(6) 3s^(2) 3p^(6) 3d^(5)` As half-filled `3d^(5)` configuration is more stable, THEREFORE, ferric salts are more stable then ferrous salts. (ii) Electronic configuration of Cu atom `(Z = 29) = 1s^(2) 2^(2) 2p^(6) 3s^(2) 3p^(6) 3d^(10) 4s^(1)` `:.` Electronic configuration of `Cu^(+) " ion " 1s^(2) 2s^(2) 2p^(6) 3s^(2) 3p^(6) 3d^(10)` Electronic configuration of `Cu^(2+) " ion " = 1s^(2) 2s^(2) 2p^(6) 3s^(2) 3p^(6) 3d^(9)` Although `Cu^(+)` has fully-filled d-orbital, YET cuprous salts are LESS stable. This is because the nuclear charge is not sufficient enough to hold 18 electrons of `Cu^(+)` ion present in the outermost shell. |
|

In each of the following pairs of compounds, which one is more covalent and why ? (i) AgCl, AgI (ii) BeCl_(2), MgCl_2 (iii) SnCl_(2), SnCl_(4) (iv) CuO,CuS |
|
Answer» Solution :Applying Fajan's rules , the RESULT can be obtained in each CASE as follows : (i) `AgI` is more covalent than `AgCl`. This is because `I^(-)` ion is larger in size than`Cl^(-)` ion and hence `I^(-)` is more polarized than`Cl^(-)`ion. (ii) `BeCl_(2)` is more covalent than `MgCl_(2)`. This is because `Be^(2+)` ion is smallerin size than `MG^(2+)` ion andhence `Be^(2+)` ion has greater polarizing power . (iii) `SnCl_(4)` is more covalent than `SnCl_(2)` . This is because `Sn^(4+)` ion has greater charge and smaller size than `Sn^(2+)` ion and hence `Sn^(4+)` has greater polarizing power. (iv) `CuS` is more covalent than `CuO`. This is because`S^(2-)` ion has larger size than `O^(2-)` ion and hence `S^(2-)` is more polarized than `O^(2-)` ion . |
|
| 25. |
In each of the following pairs of compounds, Identify the one with more covalent nature and why ? LiBe and LiI |
|
Answer» Solution :According to Fajan's rule, LI I in more covalent than LiBr. Since `I^(-)` is larger in size than `Br^(-)`, the larger sized anion PULLS the CATION EFFECTIVELY towards the nucleus. This results in more polarisation effect . GREATER the polarisation effect greater will be the covalent character . |
|
| 26. |
In each of the following pairs of compounds, Identify the one with more covalent nature and why ? LiCl and NaCl |
|
Answer» Solution :ACCORDING to Fajan's rule, LICL is more covalnet than NaCl Always the cation of the smaller size causes a great extent of polarisation. Greater the POLARIZATION effect, greater will be the covalent CHARACTER . Since` Li^(+)` is smaller in size than `Na^(+)`, Li possess higher polarization effect which in turn increases the covalnet character. |
|
| 27. |
In each of the following pairs of compounds, Identify the one with more covalent nature and why ? FeCl_(2)" and " FeCl_(3) |
|
Answer» Solution :According to Fajan's RULE, `FeCl_(3)` is morecovalent than `FeCl_(2)` . If the oxidation stateof the cation is HIGHER, the polarization of anion will be more. Thus more will be covalent NATURE in the bonding of the molecule. |
|
| 28. |
In each of the compounds : NaCl, ZnS andCaF_(2) , Write (i) ions occupying thevoids (ii)types of voidsoccupied (iii) fraction of voidsoccupied. |

|
Answer» SOLUTION :Laboratory temperature `=T_(1) = 300K` `:. p_(1) = (715-15) = 700mm` 22400 mL of `N_(2)` at STP weight = 28g Volume of `N_(2)` at STP `= (p_(1)V_(1))/(T_(1)) XX (273)/(760)` `V= (700 xx 50)/(300) xx (273)/(760) mL` = 41.9 mL Mass of `N_(2)` at STP `= (28 xx 41.9)/(22400)` %N `= (28 xx 41.9)/(22400) xx (100)/(m)` `=(28 xx 41.9 xx 100)/(22400 xx 0.3)` = 17.16% OR %N `= (0.0499 xx p_(1)V_(1))/(m T_(1)) = (0.0499 xx 700 xx 50)/(0.3 xx 300)` = 17.46% |

In Dumas method for estimation of nitrogen, 0.30g of an organic compound gave 50 mL of nitrogen collected at 300 K and mm pressure. Calculate the percentage composition of nitrogen in the compound (Aqueous tension at 300 K is 15 mm). |
|
Answer» Solution :Here, mass of the SUBSTANCE taken = 0.30g Volume of NITROGEN collected = 50 ML, Atmospheric pressure = 715mm Hg Room temperature = 300K Aqueous tension at 300 K = 15mm `:.` Actual pressure of the gas (dry gas) = `715 - 15 = 700mm Hg` Step 1. To convert the volume at experimental conditions to volume at STP. `{:("Experimental values",,"At STP"),(P_(1)=700 mm,,P_(2) = 760 mm),(V_(1) = 50 mL,,V_(2) = ?),(T_(1) = 300 K,,T_(2) = 273 K):}` Substituting these values in the gas equation. `(P_(2)V_(1))/(T_(1)) = (P_(2)V_(2))/(T_(2))`, we get `(700 mm xx 50 mL)/(300 K) = (760 mm xx V_(2) mL)/(273 K)` or `V_(2) = (273 xx 700 xx 50)/(300 xx 760) = 41.9 mL`. Step 2.To convert the volume at STP into mass. According to the definition of GMV, 22400 mL of nitrogen at STP weigh = 28 g `:. 41.9 mL` of nitrogen at STP will weigh `= (28 xx 41.9)/(22400) g` Step 3. To calculate the percentage of nitrogen. Percentage of nitrogen `= ("Mass of "N_(2) " at STP")/("Mass of the substance taken") xx 100 = (28 xx 41.9 xx 100)/(22400 xx 0.3) = 17.46` |
