What is formal charge ? Explain by example. |
|
Answer» Solution :When molecule or ion presented by Lewis dot structure than the charge on atom is called formal charge. If an atom has MOVE ELECTRON than valence electron than is has negative formal charge and if less electron than valence electron than it has POSITIVE formal charge. Calculation of formal charge is express by following equation. `[{:("Formal"),("charge"),("(F.C) on an"),("atom in"),("a Lewis"),("structure"):}] = [{:("Total"),("number of"),("valence"),("ELECTRONS"),("in the free"),("atom"):}] - [{:("Total"),("number"),("of non"),("bonding"),("(ion pair"),("electrons"):}] - (1)/(2) [{:("total"),("number"),("of"),("bonding"),("(shered"),("elecrtons"):}]` Formal charge is not real charge in molecule but it give position and arrangement of election. e.g. Formal charge of oxygen in ozone molecule. ![]() The atoms have been numbered as 1, 2 and 3. The formal charge on : The CENTRAL O atom marked 1 : = `({:("Velence"),("electron"),("of neutral"),("oxygen"):}) - ({:("non"),("bonding "),("electrons"),("of O - 1"):}) - (1)/(2) ({: ("bonding "),("electrons"),("of O - 2"):})` `= 6 - 2 - (1)/(2) (6) = + 1 ` the end O atom marked 2 : `({:("Velence"),("electron"),("of O"):}) - ({:("non"),("bonding"),("electrons"),("of O (2)"):}) - ({: ("bonding "),("electrons"),("of O (2)"):})` = 6 -4 - 2 = 0 The end O atom marked 3 : Hence, structure of `O_(3)` with formal charge :

What qualitative information can you obtain from the magnitude of equilibrium constant ? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Large value of equilibrium constant `(gt 10^(3))` shows that forward reaction is favoured , i.e., concentration of PRODUCTS is MUCH larger than that of the REACTANTS at equilibrium. (II) Inermediate value of `K(10^(-3) "to" 10^(3))` showsthat the concentration of the reactants and products are comparable. (iii) oLow value of `K(lt10^(-3))` shows that backward reaction is favoured , i.e., concentration of reactants is much larger than that of the products. |

You have a mixture of three liquids A, B and C. There is a targe difference in the boiling points of A and rest of the two liquids i.e., B and C. Boiling point of liquids B and C are quite close. Liquid A boils at a higher temperature than B and C and boiling point B is lower than C. How will you separate the comonents of the mixture. Draw a diagram showing set up of the apparatus for the process |
|
Answer» Solution :Order of boiling point `A gt gt gt B gt C` The boiling point of LIQUID A is much higher than those of liquid B and C whose b.p are quite does therefore separate liquid A by simple distillation using the apparatus shown in figure as under. The b.p. of liquid B and C are quite close but are much lower than that of liquid A, therefore, MIXTURE of liquid B and C will DISTIL together leaving BEHIND liquid A. On further heating liquid A will distil. ![]() Mixture B and C has less difference in their boiling point. So following arrangement is done for SEPARATION of B and C Now, place the mixture of liquid B and C in a flask fitted with a fractionating column as shown in figures. Since the b.p of liquid B is lower than that of liquid C, therefore, on fractional distillation first liquid B will distil over and the liquid C. |

What do you understand by the term "non-stoichiometric hydrides" ? Do you expect this type of the hydrides to be formed by alkali metals? Justify your answer. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Hydrides which are dificient in hydrogen and in which the ratio of the metal to hydrogen in fractional are called non-stoichiometric hydrides. Furthermore, even this fractional ratio is not fixed but VARIES with the temperature and the pressure . This type of hydrides are formed by d-and f-block elements. In these hydrides , the hydrogen atoms occupy holes in the metal lattice. Usually some holes always REMAIN unoccupiedand hence these metals form non-stoichiometric hydrides. Since ALKALI metals are highly reducing, they lone electron to the H atom , THEREBY forming `H^(-)` ions. In other words, alkali metal hydrides are ionic in which `H^(-)` ions occupy holes in the lattice . Since a hydride ion is formed by complete transfer of an electron, therefore, the ratio of metal to hydrogen is always fixed and hence alkali metals form only stoichiometric hydrides. In other words, alkali metal do not form non-stoichiometric hydrides. |

What indicator should be used for the titration of 1.0M KH_(2)BO_(2) with 1.10M HCI? |
|
Answer» Solution :`H_(2)BO_(3)^(Θ) + H_(3)O^(o+) rarr H_(3)BO^(3) + H_(2)O` At equivalence point, `0.05 M H_(3)BO_(3)` would be produced. Only the first IONISATION step of `H_(3)BO_(3)` is important to the `pH`. `H_(2)BO_(3)^(Θ) + H_(2)O rarr H_(2)BO_(3)^(Θ) + H_(3)O^(o+)` `K_(a) = ([H_(3)O^(o+)][H_(2)BO_(3)^(o+)])/([H_(3)BO_(3)]) =(x^(2))/(0.050) = 7.3 XX 10^(-10)` Thus `x = 6.0 xx 10^(-6)` and `pH = 5.22` `pH 5.22` is in the middle of the range of methy`1` red which would thereofre be SUITABLE. |
