What is the equilibrium concentration of each of the substances in the equilibrium when the initial concentration of ICl was 0.78 M ? 2ICl_((g)) hArr I_(2(g)) + Cl_(2(g)) , K_c=0.14 |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :`{:("Equilibrium reaction :", 2ICl_((g)) hArr , I_(2(g)) + , Cl_(2(g)), K_c=0.14),("Initial concentration:",0.78 M, 0,0),("Change in reaction :", -2x M , +X M, x M),("Concen. at equilibrium [M] :", (0.78-2x) , x, x):}` This EXPRESSION of equilibrium constant `K_c` for this reaction `K_c=([I_2][Cl_2])/([ICl]^2)=((x)(x))/((0.78-2x))` `therefore 0.14=x^2/(0.78-2x)^2` `therefore sqrt0.14 =x/(0.78-2x)` `therefore` 0.3742(0.78-2x)=x `therefore` 0.2918-0.7484 x= x `therefore` 1.7484 x = 0.2918 `therefore x=0.2918/1.7484`=0.1669 M `approx` 1.67 M So, at equilibrium [ICl] = 0.78-2x =0.78-2(0.1669) =0.78-0.3338=0.4462 M At equilibrium `[I_2]=[Cl_2]` = x= 0.1669 M |

There are certain properties of the elements which vary (increase or decrease) gradually in the same period or group with increase in atomic number. These properties of elements which show a regular gradation on moving from left to right in a period or from top to bottom in a group are called periodic properties. The recurrence of similar properties of elements after certain regular intervals when they are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic numbers is called periodicity valency, atomic/ Some of the properties such as ionic size, ionization enthalpies, electro-negativity, electron gain enthalpy, oxidizing/educing power, acid/base character etc. are directly related to the electronic configuration of the elements. On the other hand, there are some properties such as etc. which are indirectly related to the electronic configuration of the elements. The cause of repetition of similar electronic configuration of their atoms in valence shells after regular intervals melting points, density Down the group, the atomic/ionic radii, metallic character and valencing character increase whereas ionisation enthalpy and electronegativity decrease. Across a right, period from left to atomic/ionic radii and metallic character decrease whereas ionization enthalpy, electronegativity, non-metallic character and oxidizing power increase. In general, electron gain enthalpy decreases i.e., becomes less negative bottom in a group. Across a period from left to right there is an over all increase in the electron gain enthalpies (i.e., it becomes more negative). However most gases have positive electron gain enthalpies which do not show any regular trend. Which of the following does not reflect the periodicity of elements ? |

What type of substances would make better permanent magnets, ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic Justify your answer. |
| Answer» Solution :Ferromagnetic SUBSTANCES make better permanent magnets. This is because the METAL ions of a ferromagnetic substance are grouped into small regions called 'domains'. Each domain acts as a tiny magnet. These domains are randomly oriented. When the substance is placed in a magnetic field, all the domains get oriented in the DIRECTION of magnetic field and a strong magnetic field is PRODUCED. This ordering of domains persists even when the EXTERNAL magnetic field is removed. Hence, the ferromagnetic substance becomes a permanent magnet. | |

Which of the following statement is not correct from the view point of molecular orbital theory ? |

Answer» `Be_(2)` is not a stable molecule Existence of molecule, bonding NATURE and energy order of molecular orbitals can be explained on the basis of molecular orbital theory as follows : (i) if molecules having ZERO bond order than it does not exists if molecular having non-z.ero bond order it exists or expected to exist. (ii) Higher the value of bond order, higher will be its bond strength. The electrons present in bonding molecular orbital are KNOWN as bonding electrons (Nb) and electrons present on anti-bonding molecular orbital are known as anti-bonding electrons `(N_(a))`and half of their difference is known as bond order. i.e., `Be_(2) (4 + 4) = 8 ) = sigma 1s^(2) , sigma^(**) 1s^(2) , sigma 1s^(2), sigma^(**) 2s^(2) ` Bond order (BO) =` (1)/(2)` [ Number of bonding electrons `(N_(B))` - NUmber of anti-bonding electrons `N_(a) = (4 - 4)/(2) = 0 ` Here, bond order of `Be_(2)` is zero. Thus, it does not exist. `He_(2) (2 + 2 = 4) = sigma 1 s^(2) , sigma^(**) 1s^(2) ` BO = `(2- 2)/(2)= 0 ` Bond order of `Be_(2)` is zero . So it does not exist. `He_(2)^(+) (2 + 2 - 1 = 3) = sigma 1 s^(2), sigma^(**) 1s^(1)` BO = `(2- 1)/(2) = 0.5 ` As, the bond order is not zero, this molecule is expected to exist. `N_(2) (7 + 7 = 14 )=sigma 1s^(2), sigma^(**) 1s^(2), sigma 2s^(2) , sigma^(**) 2s^(2), pi 2p_(x)^(2)= pi 2p_(y)^(2) sigma^(**) 2p_(x)^(2) ` BO = `(10 - 4)/(2) = 3` So, dinitrogen`(N_(2))` molecule contain triple bond and no any molecule of second period have more than double bond. Hence, bondstrength of `N_(2)` is maximum amongst the homonuclear diatomic molecules belonging to the second period. (D)It is incorrect. The correct order of energies of molecular orbitals in `N_(2)` molecule is `sigma 2s lt sigma^(**) 2s lt (pi 2p_(x)= pi 2p_(y)) lt pi 2p_(x) lt pi^(**) 2p_(x) = pi 2p_(y) lt sigma^(**) 2p_(z)` |
