The magnitude of surface tension of liquid depends on the attractive forces between the molecules. Arrange the following in increasing order of surface tension :Water, alcohol (C_(2)H_(5)OH) and hexane [CH_(3)(CH_(2))_(4)CH_(3))].

Answer»

Solution :In the above given molecules, only hexane is non - polar molecules in which only London DISPERSION forces PRESENT. These forces are very weak while both water and alcohol are polar molecules in which H - bonding as well as DIPOLE - dipole interactions are present.
However, H - bonding interactions are too stronger in water than therefore, it possesses much stronger intermolecular than alcohol and hexane. So, the INCREASING order is
hexane `lt` alcohol `lt` water
Higher is the attractive forces between the molecules, higher is the magnitude of surface tension of liquid.
22.

The magnitude of surface tension of liquid depends on the attractive forces between the molecules. Arrange the following in increasing order of surface tension : water, alcolhol (C_(2)H_(5)OH) and hexane [CH_(3)(CH_(2))_(4)CH_(3)].

Answer»

Solution :Attractive forces are MINIMUM in hexane (only London forces). Hydrogen bonding in `H_(2)O` is STRONGER than that in `C_(2)H_(5)OH`. Hence the order of surface tension is : hexane `lt` alcohol`lt`water.

The longest wavelength doublet absorption transition is oberved at 58 and 589-6 nm. Calculate the frequency of each transition and the energy difference between the two excited states

Answer»

SOLUTION :`lamda_(1) = 589 nm = 589 xx 10^(-9) m " " :. v_(1) = (C)/(lamda_(1)) = (3.0 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1))/(589 xx 10^(-9) m) = 5.093 xx 10^(14) s^(-1)`
`lamda_(2) = 589.6 nm = 589.6 xx 10^(-9)m :. v_(2) = (c)/(lamda_(2)) = (3.0 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1))/(589.6 xx 10^(-9) m) = 5.088 xx 10^(14) s^(-1)`

The longest wavelength of He^(+) in Paschen series in 'm'. Then what will be the shortest wavelength of Be^(3+) in Paschen series in terms of m ?

Answer»

Solution :`(1)/(lamda_(He^(+))) = RZ^(2) ((1)/(n_(1)^(2)) - (1)/(n_(2)^(2)))`
`(1)/(m) = R xx4 ((1)/(3^(2) ) - (1)/(4^(2))) = 4R xx (7)/(144) = (7R)/(36)`...(i)
(`:'` For Paschen series, `n_(1) = 3` and for longest WAVELENGTH, `n_(2) = 4`. For He Z = 2)
`(1)/(lamda_(Be^(3+))) = R xx 16 ((1)/(3^(2)) - (1)/(oo)) = (16)/(R)`...(ii)
( `:'` For SHORTEST wavelength, `n_(2) = oo` and for Be, Z = 4)

The lone pair of amines makes them basic. They react with acids to form acid-base salts. Amines are more basic than alcohols, ethers and water. When an amine is dissolved in water, an equilibrium is established , where water acts as an acid and transfer a proton to the amine. The basic strength of an amine can be measured by basicity constant K_(b). Arylamines are less basic than alkylamines because the lone pair of nitrogenis delocalised with the aromatic ring and are less available for donation. Substituted arylamines can be either more basic or less basic than aniline , depending on the substituted. ERG substituents, such as -CH_(3), -NH_(2) and -OCH_(3) increases the basicity and EWG substituents , such as -Cl, -NO_(2) and -CN decreases basicity. While sp^(2)- hybridized nitrogen atom in pyridine is less basic then the sp^(3) -hybridized nitrogen in an alkylamine. The most basic carbanion is :
