You provided with a solid 'A' and three solutions of A dissolved in water- one saturated, one unsaturated, and one super saturated. How would you determine each solution ? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) SATURATED solution: When maximum amount of solute is DISSOLVED in a solvent, any more ADDITION of solute will result in precipitation at a given temperature and pressure. Such a solution is called a saturated solution. (ii) UNSATURATED solution: When minimum amount of solute is dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure is called an unsaturated solution. (iii) Super saturated solution: It is a solution that HOLDS more solute than it normally could in its saturated form. |

What are the two exceptions of block division in the periodic table? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Helium has two electrons. Its electronic configuration is `1s^(2)`?. As per the configuration, is supposed to be placed in .s. block, but actually placed in `18^(th)` group which belongs to ‘p’ block. Because it has a completely filled valence shell as the other elements presenti `18^(th)` group. It also resembles with `18^(th)` group elements in other properties. Hence helium placed with other noble GASES. (ii) The other exception is hydrogen. It has only one s-electron and hence can be placed in group 1. It can also gain an electron to achieve a noble gas arrangement and hence it can behave as halogens (`17^(th)` group elements). Because of these ASSUMPTIONS, position of hydrogen BECOMES a SPECIAL case. Finally, it is placed separately at the top of the PERIODIC table. |

Tl(OH)_3 is less basic than TlOH. Why ? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :`Tl(OH)_3` is less basic than TLOH, as the polarising power of `Tl^(3+)` is more than `Tl^(1+)`. `Tl-O` BOND in `Tl(OH)_3` becomes STRONGER than that in `TlOH.` As Tl-O bond becomes stronger, release of `OH^(-)` ion becomes less POSSIBLE. Hence basic nature of `Tl(OH)_3` is less. |

Which of thefollowingpairs of elementswouldhave anegativeelectrongainenthalpy ? (i)O or F(ii) F or Cl |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) bothO andf liein 2ndperiod . As wemovefrom O to F ,the ATOMICSIZEDECREASES and thenuclearcharge increases .Boththesefactorstendto increase the ATTRACTIONS of thenucleusfor theincomingelectron and henceelectrongain ethalpy becomesmorenegative , Further, gain ofone electronby F gives `F^(-)` ion whichhas stableinertgasconfigurationwhilethe gainof oneelectronby Ogives `O^(-)` ion whichdoesnot have stableinertgasconfiguration, Consequently the energy released is muchhigherin goingfromf `to F^(-)` than ingoingfrom `O to O^(-)` ,Inotherwordselectron gainenthalpyof F ismuchmorenegative (- 328 KJ `mol^(-1)`)than THATOF oxygen`(-141 kJ mol^(-1))` (ii)In general the electrongain enthalpy becomesless negativeon movingdown thegroup. Buttheelectrongainenthalpy of chlorine`(-349 kJ mol^(-1))` is morenegativethan thatof flurine(-328 kJ `mol^(-1)`). Thereasonfor thisdeviationis thesmallsizeof F atom. Dueto itssmall size theelectron electron repulsionsin therelatively compact 2p- subshellare comparativelylargeand hencethe incomingelectronis notacceptedwith thesameease as isthe case withlarge C1 atom.Consequentlyelectron gainenthalpy of C1 is morenegativethan thatof F. |

Unlikeordinary fire thermite fire cannot be stoppedpouringwater. Explain . |
|
Answer» Solution :In ordinary fire, the water not only DECREASES the temperatureof the burningmaterial, it alsocuts off the SUPPLY of `O_(2)`. Howeverin thermite REACTION. `2Al + Fe_(2)O_(3) overset("Heat")rarr Al_(2)O_(3) + 2Fe` the oxygenneeded for REACTIONIS suppliedby the metaloxide (i.e,`Al_(2)O_(3)`), thereforecutting off thesupplyof atomospheric oxygehas no effect. Further, at high temperature(around `1270-1300 K`), Al reacts with `H_(2)O`to produce `H_(2)O` to produce `H_(2)`gas whichhelps to spread ratherthan extinguishing the fire. `2Al + 3H_(2)Ooverset(11270-1300K)rarr Al_(2)O_(3) + 3H_(2)` |
