Answer»

`(r_(H_2))/(r_(O_2)) = 4`
`(r_(H_2))/(r_(CH_4)) = 2.83`
`(r_(He))/(r_(CH_4)) = 2`
`(r_(He))/(r_(SO_2)) = 4`

`[OH^-]=N_R=0.09/2`=0.045 N
pOH=-log (0.045) = 1.35
`therefore` pH=14-pOH=14-1.35 = 12.65

What is/are correct statement (s)?

Answer»

`CH_3cOONH_4` have greater degree of hydrolysis in 0.2M solution in comparison of 0.4 M solution
ANION have lesser basic strength than `OH^(-) ` , does not undergo hydrolysis in comparison of `HCOO^(-) ` when their salt solution have equal CONCENTRATION
The `CH_3 COO^(-) `have greater degree of hydrolysis in compreson of `HCOO^(-) ` when their salt solution have equal concentration
`SO_4^(2-) ` does hydrolysisbut `HSO_4^(-) ` does not undergo hydrolysis

Solution :Degree of hydrolysis of salt of W.A and W.B doesnot depend on conc.
(b)anions come fromacids which are more acidic than `H_2O` undergo hydrolysis.
(c ) AMONG two acids , anioncomes fromweaker acid (less `K_a) ` undergo more hydrolysis.
(d)` HSO_4^(-) `comes fromstronger acid `H_2SO_4` . so it does not undergo hydrolysis.
39.

Which statement (s)is/are wrong about the interconversion of trans - and cis- isomeric alkenes by ultraviiolet radiation with a suitable photosensitiser ?

Answer»

`U.V.` radiation provides energy to excit `pi bar(e)` into an anti`-` bonding `pi` molecular orbital `(pi ^(**) ABMO)` MOMENTARILY breaking the `pi-` bond.
Rotation about the `(C-C)` single bond of either excited `cis-` or TRANS `-` MOLECULE gives a common non `-` planar intermediat. When the `bar(e)` returns to the ground state, the `pi-`bond reforms and the same MIXTURE of the two geometric isomers results from either STARTING isomer.
Because the rate of return from the common intermediat to the cis`-` ground state is faster , the `cis-`predominates even though is has the higher energy. The product ratiois kinetically controlled and not thermodynamically controlled.
Because the rate of returnfrom the common intermediate to the trand `-` ground state is faster, the trans`-` predominates and has lesser energy. The product ratio is thermodynamically controlled and not kinetically controlled.
