7.

The molecule having smallest bond angle is

Answer»

`AsCl_(3)`
`SbCl_(3)`
`PCl_(3)`
`NCl_(3)`

SOLUTION :`SbCl_(3)`
As we move down the group the size of atom increases and as size of central atom increases, lone pair-bond pair repulsion also increases. Thus bond angle decreases.
Increasing order of ATOMIC radius :
`N lt P lt As lt Sb `
Decreasing order of bond angle :
`NCl_(3) GT PCl_(3) gt AsCl_(3) gt SbCl_(3)`
8.

The molecule havaing smallest bond angle is

Answer»

`AsCI_(3)`
`SbCl_(3)`
`PCl_(3)`
`NCl_(3)`

Solution :`SbCl_(3)` has the smallest bond ANGLE because amongst N,P, As and Sb,Sb has the LOWEST electronegativity.

The molecular weight of haemoglobin is about 65.000 g/mol. Haemoglobin contains 0.35% Fe by mass. How many iron atoms are there in a haemoglobin molecule?

Answer»

Solution :100 g of haemoglobin contain 0.35 g of IRON.
or, `100/65000` mole of haemoglobin CONTAINS `0.35/56` mole of Fe.
`THEREFORE 1` mole of haemoglobin contains `0.35/56 xx 65000/100` MOLES of Fe.
=4.06 moles of Fe
Thus, one molecules of haemoglobin contains four iron atoms.

The molecular speeds of gasesous molecules are analogous to those of rifle bullets. Then why is the odour of a gas not detected so fast ?

Answer»

Solution :Though the molecules of a gas travel at HIGH speeds but they do not travel in straight lines in one direction like bullets. As they travel, they collide with the molecules of the gases PRESENT in the air. As a result, they are deflected. Thus, they follow a zig-zag PATH, i.e., the net distance travelled in a PARTICULAR direction is quite small in a given TIME. That is why the odour is not detected so fast.

The mole fraction of water in a solution of HCI is 0.78. Calculate the molality of the solution.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Mole fraction of WATER = 0.78
Mole fraction of HCI = `1 - 0.78 = 0.22`. SUPPOSE, the solution contains `n_(1)`moles of HCI and `n_2` moles of water. Therefore,
`n_(1)/(n_(1) + n_(2)) = 0.22`……..(i)
and `n_(2)/(n_(1) + n_(2)) = 0.78`……...........(ii)
DIVIDING eq. (i) by eq. (ii), we have
`n_(1)/n_(2) = 0.22/0.78 = 0.28`.............(iii)
Since, molality refers to the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1000 g of solvent (water in the present case),
`n_(2) = 1000/18 = 55.55`
Substituting the value in eq. (iii), we have
`n_(1)/55.55 =0.28`
or `n_(1) = 0.28 xx 55.55 = 15.55`
Hence, the molality of the given solution is 15.55 m.
