Observe the following experiment. The correct statement about set up (I) and (II) are:

Answer»

In SET up (I), initially no precipitate is formed but on adding of excess of reagent and followed by boiling gives greyish black PPT.
In set up (II), initially white precipitate is formed as WELL as on boiling gives greyish black ppt.
In set up (II), the precipitate is soluble is dilute NITRIC acid, and gives gas with suffocating smell of burning sulphur which turns lime water milky.
In set up (I), the precipitate is formed with excess `AgNO_(3)` which is soluble in ammonia solution.

Answer»


Solution :i. c. Since the molarity of glucose has to be increased (from `0.01 M` to `0.02 M`), so this can be carried out either by evaporating the solution or by adding some more glucose.
So, the only possible answers is (c ).
I. Evaporate `50 mL` of solution
mmoles of glucose initially `= 0.01 xx 200 = 2`
volume after evaporation `= 200 - 50`
`= 150 mL`
`M_("glucose") = (("mmoles")/(V_(mL))) = (2)/(150) = 0.013 M`
II. mmoles of glucose added `= (0.180)/(180) xx 100 = 1`
Total mmoles of glucose `= 2 + 1 = 3`
Volumes `= 150 mL` (after evaporation of `50 mL` solution)
`M_("glucose") = (3)/(150) = 0.02 M`
III. Add `50 mL` of water
New volume of solution `= 200 + 50 = 250 mL`
`M_("glucose") = (2 mmol)/(250 mL) = 0.008 M`
Hence, answer is (c )
ii. d. `63.546 = (a xx 63 + (100 - a) xx 65)/(100)`
`a = 72.7% ~~ 73.%`
iii. d. `m = (X_(2) xx 1000)/((1 - x_(2)) xx Mw_(1))`
`3 = (X_(2) xx 1000)/((1 - x_(2)) xx 18)`
Solve for `x_(2) = 0.05`
iv. c. `M_(1) V_(1) = M_(2) V_(2)`
`0.2 M xx 1 mL = M_(2) xx 1000 mL`
`M_(2) = 2 xx 10^(-4)`
`:. N = 2 xx 2 xx 10^(-4) = 4 xx 10^(-4)`
vi. c. `M_(1) V_(1) = M_(1) V_(2) (M = (% "by weight" xx 10 xx d)/(Mw_(2)))`
`V_(1) xx (90 xx 10 xx 1.8)/(98) = 0.2 xx 1 L`
`V_(1) = 0.012 L = 12 mL`
vii. d. Loss in weight is DUE to `nH_(2) O`.
`:. (142 + 18 n) g of Na_(2) SO_(4). nH_(2) O = 18 n g` of loss in weight of `H_(2) O`
`100 g of Na_(2) SO_(4) . nH_(2) O = (18 n xx 100)/(142 + 18 n)`
`:. (18 n xx 100)/(142 + 18n) = 55.9`
solve for `n implies n = 9.99 ~~ 10`
viii. d. `0.02 "MOL" HCl = 0.02 of H^(o+) + 0.2 "mol" Cl^(ɵ)`
`0.01 "mol" BaCl_(2) = 0.1 "mol" of Ba^(2+) + 0.1 xx 2 "mol" of Cl^(ɵ)`
Total `Cl^(ɵ) = 0.4 "mol"`.
Total volume `= 500 mL = (1)/(2) L`
`:. [Cl^(ɵ)] = (0.4)/(1//2) = 0.8 M`
ix. b. `d_(sol) = M ((Mw_(2))/(1000) + (1)/(m))`
`1.0585 = 1 M ((58.5)/(1000) + (1)/(m))`
solve for `m`
`m = 1.0`
x. a. `V_(1) + V_(2) = 2 L`
`N_(1) V_(1) + N_(2) V_(2) = N_(3) V_(3)`
`0.5 xx V_(1) + 0.1 xx V_(2) = 0.2 xx 2`
`0.5 V_(2) + 0.1 V_(2) = 0.4`
Solve equations (i) and (ii) `V_(1) = 0.5 L, V_(2) = 1.5 L`

Numerous forms of the periodic table have been devised from time to time. A modern version which is most convenient and widely used is the long or extended from of periodic table. The aufbau principle and the electronic configuration of atoms provide a theoretical foundation for the periodic classification. The horizontal rows are called periods. There are altogether seven periods. The first period consists of 2 elements. The subsequent periods consists of 8, 8,18, 18 and 32 elements respectively. The seventh period is incomplete and like the sixth period would have maximum of 32 elements. Elements having similar outer electronic configurations in their atoms are grouped in vertical columns. These are referred to as groups or families. According to the recommendations of IUPAC, the groups are numbered 1 to 18 replacing the older notation of groups 0, IA, IIA, ....VIIA, VIII, IB.....VIIB. Each successive period in the periodic table is associated with the filling up next higher principal energy level following aufbau sequence. The number of elements in each period is twice the number of atomic orbitals available in the energy level that is being filled. All the elements are classified into four blocks, i.e., s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block depending on the type of atomic orbitals that are being filled with electrons. Elements A, B, C, D and E have the following electronic configuration: (A)1s^2, 2s^2 2p^1 (B)1s^2, 2s^2 2p^6 , 3s^2 3p^1 (C ) 1s^2, 2s^2 2p^6 , 3s^2 3p^3 (D)1s^2 , 2s^2 2p^6 , 3s^2 3p^5 (E)1s^2 , 2s^2 2p^6 , 3s^2 3p^6 Which among these will belong to same group in the periodic table ?
