Stereoisomers, which can be interconverted simply by rotation about sigma bonds, are conformational isomers while those, which can be converted only by breaking and remaking of bonds and not simply by rotation, are called configurational isomers. The angle between C-C and C – H bonds on adjacent carbon atoms in any conformation is called dihedral angle. The cyclic compounds most commonly found in nature containing six membered rings can exist in a conformation that is almost completely free of strain. The most stable conformation of cyclohexane is chair form. According to Bayer strain theory, the greater deviation from the normal tetrahedral angle, greater is the angle strain or torsional strain and hence lesser is the stability of the cycloalkane. Which among the following conformation of cyclohexane is the most stable form ?

Answer»

CHAIR FORM
Half chair forms
Twist boat form
Boat form

SOLUTION :Chair form is staggered form

Status coated with white lead on long exposure to atmosphere turn black and the original colour can be restored on treatment with H_(2)O_(2) . Why ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :On long exposure to atmosphere , white lead is converted into black PbS DUE to the action of `H_(2)S` PRESENT in the atmosphere . As a result , statues TURN black .
`PbO_(2) + 2H_(2)S to PbS + 2H_(2)O`
On treatment of these blackened statues with `H_(2)O_(2)` , black PbS gets oxidised to white `PbSO_(4)` and the colour is RESTORED.
`PbS + 4H_(2)O_(2) to PbSO_(4) + 4H_(2)O`
47.

Statuse and paintings coated with white lead turn black on long exposure to atmosphere. The original colour can be restored by treating them with H_(2)O_(2). The reason behind this is

Answer»

blackened statues get coated with PBS which on reaction with `H_(2)O_(2)` is oxidised to WHITE `PbSO_(4)`
`H_(2)O_(2)` DISSOLVES the COATING white lead and exposes the inner surface.
White lead reacts with `H_(2)O_(2)` to form white `PbSO_(4)`
blackened STATUSE get coated with lead sulphate which reacts with `H_(2)O_(2)` to give PbS.

Solution :The statues and paintings coated with white lead get blackened due to action of `H_(2)S` present in traces in atmosphere. When these are treated with `H_(2)O_(2)`, PbS is oxidised to `PbSO_(4)` which is colourless or white.
`underset("black")(PbS)+4H_(2)O_(2)to underset("white")(PbSO_(4))+4H_(2)O`
48.

Statues coated with white lead turn black on exposure to air Its original colour is restored on treatment with H_2O_2. Explain.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Statues turn black DUE to the formation of lead sulphide. Hydrogen PEROXIDE oxidises black COLOURED lead sulphide to white coloured lead sulphate, there by restoring the COLOUR.
