Answer»

20260 cal
20260 K cal
361.44 cal
84773 cal

Solution :`(logK_(2))/(K_(1))=(E_(a))/(2.303R)((1)/(T_(1))-(1)/(T_(2)))`
`therefore (LOG 6.735)/(0.325)=(E_(a))/(2.303)xx1.987((1)/(303)-(1)/(333))`
`therefore E_(a)`=20260 cal

Which of the following types of octahedral complexes can show mer-fac isomerism ? where M is central metal, A, B and c are different monodentate ligands while AA is a symmetrical bidentate ligand.

Answer»

`MA_(4)B_(2)` or `MA_(2)B_(4)`
`M(A A)_(2)B_(2)` or `M(A A)_(2)BC`
`MA_(3)B_(3)`
`MA_(5)B`

Solution :Two diastereoisomers are possible for an octahedral complex of the type `MA_(4)B_(2)`

Note that two of the A ligands occupy positions just opposite one ANOTHER. The four ligands have a SQUARE planar arrangement in which cis-trans isomers arepossible. Two diastereoisomers are also possible for an octachedral complex of the type `M(A A)_(2)B_(2)` or `M(A A)_(2)BC` as illustrated in Q.2. Octahedral complexes with the general formula `MA_(3)B_(3)` exhibit mer-fac isomerism. If we first draw an A ligand and a B ligand opposite one another in an octahedral geometry. Then the other ligands can have cis or trans arrangements on the plane perpendicular toi the axis of the first A and B ligands:

Isomer (I) show above has the three A ligands in adjacent positions (`90^(@)` separation) on one triangular face of the octahedron (fac-isomer), isomer (II) has all three A ligands in a plane that contains the M (mer-isomer). In isomer (I), all three B-M-B bonds angles are `90^(@)` whereas in isomer (II) two B-M-B angles are `90^(@)` and the third is `180^(@)`. To CONVINCE ourselves that only two diasterosiomers of `MA_(3)B_(3)` exist, look back at the cis-and trans- `[MA_(4)B_(2)]` and consoider the products obtained form them when one of the four A ligands in cis-isomer is REPLACED by a B. There are two kinds of A-ligands in the cis-isomer: two A ligands that are trans to each other and two A ligands that are trans to a B ligands. Replacing an A trans to another A with B gives `[MA_(3)B_(3)]` isomer (I), whereas replacing an A trans to a B with another B gives isomer (II)

All four A ligands in trans - `[MA_(4)B_(2)]` are equivalent, and replacing any one of them with a B gives isomer (II).

If we rotate the resulting `[MA_(3)B_(3)]` complex, we can see that it is identical to the previous DRAWING of isomer (II). Thus, there are only two diasteroisomers for a complex of the type `[MA_(3)B_(3)]` . Octahedral complexes of the type `[MA_(6)]` or `[MA_(5)B]` would not show geometrical isomerism.

The time taken for 90% of a first order reaction to complete is approximately

Answer»

1.1 times that of half life
2.2 times that of half life
3.3 times that of half life
4.4 times that of half life

Solution :( C) `t_(90%)= (2.303)/(k) "LOG" (a)/(a-0.9a) `
`= (2.303)/(k) "log" 10 = (2.303)/(k)`
`t_(1//2)= (2.303)/(k) "log" (a)/(a-0.5a)`
`= (2.303)/(k ) "log" 2`
`t_(1//2) = (2.303xx0.3010)/(k) `
`:. (T_(90%))/(t_(1//2))= (1)/(0.3010) 3.3`
`:. t_(90%) = 3.3t_(1//2) `

The salt Zn(OH)_(2) is involved in the following two equilibria, Zn(OH)_(2)(s) hArr Zn^(+2) (aq) + 2OH^(-) (aq), K_(sp) Zn(OH)_(2) = 1.2 xx 10^(-17) Zn ( OH)_(2)(s) + 2OH^(-) ( aq) hArr [Zn(OH)_(4)]^(2-)(aq), K_(c ) = 0.13 Calculate the pH at which the solubility of Zn(OH)_(2) be minimum. Also find the solubility at this concentration.

Answer»

Solution :The solubility of `Zn(OH)_(2)` will be given as
`s = [ Zn^(+2) ] + [ Zn(OH)_(4) ] ^(2-)= ( K_(sp))/([OH^(-) ] ^(2) ) + K_(c ) [ OH^(-) ] ^(2-)`
The MINIMUM SOLUBILLITY will be obtained by setting
`( ds )/( d[OH^(-) ] ) = 0`
HENCE ` ( - 2K_(sp))/( [OH^(-) ] ^(3)) + 2K_(c ) [ OH^(-) ] = 0`
`[OH^(-) ] = ((2K_(sp))/( 2K_(c )))^((1)/(4)) = ((1.2 xx 10^(-17))/(0.13))^(1//4) = 9.8 xx 10^(-5)`
`PH = 14-4.01 = 9.99`
`s = ( 1.2 xx 10^(-17))/(( 9.8 xx 10^(-5))^(2)) + ( 0.13 ) ( 9.8 xx 10^(-5))^(2) = 2.5 xx 10^(-9) M`

`NH_(3),H_(2)O,Bl_(3)`
`AlCl_(3),BF_(3),Cl^(+)`
`ROH,NH_(3),NO_(3)`

Solution :Electrophile accepts a pair of electrons. Al atom in `AlCl_(3)` has hextet, Satom in `SO_(3)` is positively charged. DUE to more electronegativity of O-atom due to more electronegativty of O-atom than s, `Cl^(+)` ionn is +vely charged. Hence. These SPECIES ACCEPT apair of electrons.

When intial concentration of the reactant is doubled ,the half-life period of a zero order reation………

Answer»

remains uncharged
is halved
is tripled
is doubled

Solution :For zero order reaction `t_((1)/(2))PROP[R]_(o)`
`t_((1)/(2))=K[R]_(0)`
If concentration is doubled .
`t_((1)/(2))(2)=K2[R]_(0)`
`therefore (t_((1)/(2))(2))/(t_((1)/(2)))=(K2[R]_(o))/(K[R]_(o))=2`
If concentration the reactant is double in a zero order reaction its half life TIME is doubled.
