When does the blue coloured ammonia solution (of alkali metals) changes to bronze colour? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Alkali metals dissolve in liquid ammonia to give deep blue solutions that are conducting in nature (ii) The blue colour of the solution is due to the ammoniated electron which absorbs ENERGY in the visible region of light and thus imparts blue colour to the solution. (iii) The solutions are paramagnetic and on standing slowly liberate hydrogen resulting in the formation of amide. (IV) In CONCENTRATED solution, the blue colour change to bronze colour and BECOME diamagnetic. |

The three elements A, B and C form three compounds AB, AC and BC. AB contains 75% of A, AC contains 57.14% of C while BC contains 11.11% of B. Prove that these results are in accordance to law of reciprocal proportions. |
|
Answer» Solution :In compound AB, the percentage of A is 75%. This means that 75 g of A combine with 100 - 75 = 25 g of B. THEREFORE, the amount of B that will combine with a fixed amount of A, SAY 100 g, would be `=25/75 xx 100 = 33.33 g` In compound AC, the amount of C is 57.14%. This means that 100 - 57.14 = 42.86 g of A combine with 57.14 g of C. Therefore, the amount of C that will combine with 100 g of A would be: `=(57.14)/(42.96) xx 100 = 133.3 g` `therefore` The RATIO in the amounts of B and C that combine with 100 g of A is: `33.33 : 133.3`, i.e. 1:4 .......(I) In compound BC, the amount of B is 11.11%. This IMPLIES that in this compound, 11.11 g of B combine with 100 - 11.11 = 88.89 g of C. The ratio in these amounts is `11.11 : 88.99,` i.e. 1:8.............(ii) The two ratios (i) and (ii) are related to each other as: `1/4 : 1/8,` i.e. `2:1` which is a simple whole number ratio. Thus, the amounts of B and C in compounds AB and AC bear a simple whole number ratio with the ratio of their amounts in compound BC. Hence, the data are in accordance to the law of reciprocal proportions and prove this law. |

What would have happened if the greenhouse gases were totally missing in the earth's atmosphere ? Discuss. |
|
Answer» Solution :The most dense greenhouse gases on the earth are `CO_2, CH_4, O_3,` CFCs and water VAPOR. These gases are FOUND on the earth.s surface. The absorbed solar energy emits from the atmosphere of the planet and the result is that atmosphere BECOMES warm. Greenhouse gases are IMPORTANT to maintain the earth.s atmosphere. If there is no greenhouse gases, then the earth.s AVERAGE temprature decreases and makes it unfit for living so life on earth will not be possible. |

Which one of the following alkali metals gives hydrated salts ? (a) Li (b) Na (c) K (d) Cs |
|
Answer» Solution :Smaller the size of an ion, the more highly is it hydrated. Among the given ALKALI metals, Li is the SMALLEST in size. Also, it has the highest charge density and highest polarising power. Hence, it attracts water MOLECULES more strongly than the other alkali metals. As a RESULT, it forms hydrated salts such as `LiCl_(2)`.The other alkali metals are larger than Li and have weaker charge DENSITIES. Hence, they usually do not form hydrated salts |
