Sufficient amount of a solid X is taken in a rigid vessel at T^(@)C where it attained the equilibrium: X(s)hArrY_((g))+2Z(g) Total pressure was measured. Now the vessel is evcuated and filled with sufficient amount of another solid V under same conditions where it attained theequilibrium: Total pressure measured now is found to be double that of previous value. Now, if both X "&" V solids are allowed to attain their respective equilibrium together in the same vessel at same temperature, select the correct staement(s):

Answer»

`K_(P)` for decompostion reaction of `V(s)=8xxK_(P)` for decomposition reaction of `X (s)`.
In the`3^(RD)` case (when both solids are simultaneously establishing their equilibrium), `P_(Y)=(1)/(8)P_(W)`.
`P_(Y) "in case"=(1)/(3sqrt3)xxP_(Y) "in" 1^(ST)` case.
In the `3^(rd)` case,`P_(W),P_(Z)=4.9`

Sub. Que : Give number, bond angle and bond length in ethyne.

Answer»

SOLUTION : In ethyne bond LENGTH, angle, shape and type of bonds :
Two C -H sigma bond in it. In triple bond two `PI` and one `sigma`-bond. So total three bond.

In it C - C bond length 120 pm and C - H bond length 106 pm. Both carbon have sp hybridization . So, H - C - C - H is linear and H- C - II and C - C - H bond angle `180^(@)`.
22.

Sub. Que. : Explainpi -bond formation in ethyne,

Answer»

Solution :Each of the two unhybridised p ORBITALS of both CARBON atoms overlap SIDEWISE to form two `pi`-bond between the carbon atoms.
So the triple bond between the carbon atoms is MADE up of one sigma and two `pi` BONDS.
23.

Sub Que. : Explain the formation pi-bond in ethene.

Answer»

<P>

Solution :`pi` BOND structured : In ETHENE the non HYBRID p and FORM `pi`-bond between two carbon atom.

In ethene `sigmaand pi` bnd can be presented as follows.
25.

Sub. Que. : Explain sigma-bond formation in ethene.

Answer»

Solution :Now one sp ORBITAL of carbon combine with sp orbital of other carbon and form sigma BOND. Remaining TWO `sp^(2)` orbital. Combine with is orbital of H and form four C-H sigma bond. In this way four C-H sigma bond and two carbon & four Hydrogen are in one plane

Now the each carbon has one non hybride 2p orbital which side by side OVERLAP and form `pi`-bond.
in ethene both carbon has `sp^(2)` hybridization . So ethene is planar.
26.

Sub que : Explain sigma-bond formation in ethyne .

Answer»

Solution : In ethyne one sp hybrid orbital of one carbon atom OVERLAPS axially with sp hybrid orbital of the other carbon atom to form C-C SIGMA bond. While the other hybrids of orbital of each carbon atom overlaps axially with half filled s orbital of hydrogen atoms forming `sigma` honds.
sp orbital are linear so all the four atoms H-C-C- H arrange in linear SHAPE figure of `sigma`-bond



Still 2PX and 2py orbital are perpendicular to H-C-C-H bond AXIS.

Structures of molecules of two compounds are given below : (a) Which of the two compounds will have intennolecular hydrogen bonding and which compound is expected to show intramolecular hydrogen bonding. (b) The melting point of a cornpound depends on, among other things, the extent of hydrogen bonding. On this basis explain which of the above two cornpounds will show higher melting point. (c) Solubility of compounds in water depends on power to form hydrogen bonds with water. Which of the above compounds will form hydrogen bond with water easily and be more soluble in it.

Answer»

Solution :(a) In compound (I) Intramolecular H-bonding is formed Here H-atom, in between the two HIGHLY ELECTRONEGATIVE atoms, is PRESENT within the same molecule.
In ortho-nitrophenol (compound n. H-atom is in between the two oxygen atoms.

Compound (II) forms intermolecular H- bonding. In para-nitrophenol cm there is a gap between `NO_(2)` and OH group. So, H-bond exists between H-atom of one molecule and O -atom of another molecule as shown below.

(b) Compound (ID Possess higher melting point because large number of molecules are JOINED together by H-bonds.
(c) Due to intramolecular H bonding, compound (I) is not able to form H-bond with water, so it is less soluble in water. While molecules of compound II form H-bonding with H20 easily, so it is soluble in water.

Structure of a mixed oxide is cubic close-packed (c.c.p)the cubic unit cell of mixed oxide is composed of oxide ions. One fourth of the tetrahral voids are occupied by divalent metal A and the octahedral voids are occupied by a monovalent metal B. the formula of the oxide is :

Answer»

`A_(2)B_(3)O_(4)`
`AB_(2)O_(2)`
`ABO_(2)`
`A_(2)BO_(2)`

Solution :Suppose number of ` O^(2-)`ions in close PACKING = n
No. of octahedral VOIDS = n
No. of tetradral voids = 2n
Divalent METAL ions A present = `(2n)/4 = n/2 `
Monovalent metal ions B present =n
Ratio `A :B : O^(2-) = n/2 : n :n = 1/2 :1:1 `
Hence, formula = ` AB_(2)O_(2)`

Structural isomers have different covalent linkage of atoms. Stereoisomers are compounds that have same sequence of covalent bonds but differ in the relative dispositions of their atoms in space. Geometrical and optical isomers are the two important types of configurational isomers. The compound with double bonds or ring structure have restricted rotation, so exist in two geometrical forms. The double bonds in larger rings (ring size 10 carbon large) can also cause geometrical isomerism. The optical isomers rotate the plane of plane-polarised light. A sp^3 -hybridised carbon atom bearing four different types of substituents is called an asymmetric centre or chiral centre. A chiral object or molecule cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. Stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other are called enantiomers. The stereosomers that the pot mirror images of each other are called diastereomers. Diasteremers have different physical properties.A racemic mixture is optically inactive and contains equal amounts of both the enantiomers. Resolution refers to method of separating a racemic mixture. Into two pure enantiomers.
