On the basis of chemical reactions involved, explain how do CFC's cause depletion of ozone layer in stratosphere ? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) The chloro-fluoro derivatives of methane and ethane are NAMED Freons (CFC.s). They slowly pass from troposphere to stratosphere. They stay for a very longer period of about 50-100 years. In the presence of UV radiations, CFC.s break up into chlorine free radicals, `CF_(2) overset(hv) rarr CF_(2)Cl+Cl^**` `CFCl_(3) overset(hv) CFCl_(2) + Cl^(**)` `Cl^(**)+ O_(3) rarr ClO^(**)+O_(2)` `ClO^(**) + O rarr Cl^(**) + O_(2)` (ii) Chlorine RADICAL is regenrated in the course of the REACTION. Due to this continuous ATTACK of Cl free radicals, thinning of ozone layer takes place which leads to the formation of ozone hole. (iv) It is estinated that for every reactive chlorine atom GENERATED in the stratosphere 1,00,000 molecules of ozone are depleted. |

On the basis bo VSEPR theory, prodict the shapes the shapes of the following :(i) CIF_(3) (ii) BrF_(5) (iii) NH_(2)^(-) (iv) H_(3) O^(+) |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Shape of `CIF_(3)`<BR>No, of valence electrons of the central CL atom = 7 No. of atoms linked to it by single bonds = 3`therefore`Total no. of electron pairsaround`Cl=(7+3)/(2) = 5 ` No. of bond pairs = No. of atoms linked to Cl = 3 ` therefore ` No. of lone pairs = 5 - 3 = 2 Thus, the molecule is of the type `AB_(3) L_(2)` Hence, it is T-shaped. (ii) Shape of ` BrF_(5)` No. of valence electrons of centrons of central Br atom = 7 No. of atoms linked to it by single bonds = 5 ` therefore ` Total no. of electrons pairs around ` Br = (7+5)/(2) = 6 ` No. of bond pairs = No. of atoms linked to Br = 5 `therefore`Noof lone pairs = 6 - 5 = 1 Thus, the molecule is of the type ` AB_(5) L`. Hence,it has square pyramidal shape. (iii)Shape of ` NH_(2)^(-)` No . of valence electrons of central N atom = 5 + 1 (due to one unit -ve charge) = 6 No. of bond pairs = 2 ` therefore `Total no. of electron pairs around ` N = (6 +2)/(2) = 4 ` No, of bond pairs = 2 ` therefore ` No, of lone pairs = 4 - 2 = 2 Thus, the ion is of the type ` AB_(2) L_(2)`. Hence , it has a bent shape (V-shape). (iv) Shape of ` H_(3) O^(+)` ion No. of valenceelectrons of contral 'O' atom = 6 - 1(Due to one unit + ve charge ) = 5 No. of atoms linked 'O' atom = 3 |

On the account of osmotic pressure 'arive ' at the Van't Hoff equation. (##SUR_CHE_XI_V02_C09_E04_015_Q01.png" width="80%"> |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Let us consider a simple apparatus as shown in the above figure . A semi-permeable membrane separtesa chamber into two compartments .WATER (pure solvent ) is added to the first compartment and the aqeuous NaCl ( solution ) is added to the second compartment such that the liquid LEVELS on the both sides are equal . Since there is a difference in concentration between the liquids present in the two compartments . the water molecules move from first compartment .to second compartment through the semi-permeable membrane allows only the water molecules to pass through ith in either direction but not allows the NaCl . The net flow of water is into the sodium chloride solution and hence increase its VOLUME . This decreases its concentration and also creates a pressure difference between the compartment .This pressure difference push some of the water molecules back to the solvent side through the semipermeable membrane until an equilibrium is establised . At the equilibrium the rate of movement of solvent molecules on both directions are equal The pressure difference at the equilibrium is called osmotic pressure `(pi) ` .Thus osmotic preesure can be defined as " the pressure that must be applied to the solution to stop the influx of the solvent (to stop osmosis) through the semipermeable membrane " Van't Hoff found out that for dilute solution the osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the molar concentration of the solute and the tempeerature of the solution . He proposed the FOLLOWING equation to calculate osmotic pressure which is now called as Van't Hoff equation. ` "" pi =cRT ` Here , c= Concentration of the solution in molarity T=Temperature R= Gas constant |

On reaction with Cl_(2), phosphorus forms two types of halides 'A' and 'B'. Halide A is yellowish-white powder but halide 'B' is colourless oily liquied. Identify A and B write the formulas of their hydrolysis products. |
|
Answer» Solution :Since `Cl_(2)` REACTS with phosphours to form two halids (A and B), therefore, thses halides must be `PCl_(3)andPCl_(3)`. Since halide 'A' is a yellowish-white solid but halide 'B' is a colourless oily liquid, therefore, due to HIGHER molecular MASS and HENCE stronger forces of ATTRACTION, halide 'A' must be a solid, i.e., `PCl_(5)` and `P_(4)+10Cl_(2)to4PCl_(3)` (yellowish-white solid) `P_(4)+6Cl_(2)tounderset((B))(4PCl_(3))` (colourless oily liquid) halide 'B' must be a liquid i.e., `PCl_(3)`. Their hydrolysis products are shown below : `underset("Phosphorus pentachloride")(PCl_(5))+4H_(2)Otounderset("Orthophosphoric acid")(H_(3)PO_(4))+5HCl` `underset("Phosphorus trichloride")(PCl_(3))+3H_(2)Otounderset("Phosphorus acid")(H_(3)PO_(3))+3HCl` |
