Write short note : Step growth polymerization.

Answer»

Solution :This type of polymerization generally INVOLVES a repetitive condensation reaction between two different bi-functional or trifunctional mono-meric units. These POLYCONDENSATION reactions may result in the loss of some simple molecules as water, alcohol, HYDROGEN chloride, etc. and lead to the formation of high MOLECULAR mass condensation polymers.
In these reactions, the product of each step is again a bi-functional species and the sequence of condensation goes on. Since, each step produces a distinct functionalized species and is independent of each other, this process is also called as step growth polymerization.
The formation of terylene or DACRON by the interaction of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid is an example of this type of polymerization.

Write the chemistry of recharging the lead storage battery, highlighting all the materials that are involved during recharging.

Answer»

Solution :* A secondary cell after use can be recharged by passing current through it in the opposite DIRECTION so that it can be used again.
* On charging the battery the reaction is reversed and `PbSO_(4(S))` on ANODE and CATHODE is converted into Pb and `PbO_(2)` respectively. In recharging reaction, reduction is occurred near anode which is cathode in recharging.
`PbSO_(4(S))+2e^(-) to Pb_((S))+SO_(4(aq))^(2-)`. . . (i)
* (+) Cathode now becomes (+) anode and oxidation is CARRIED out.
`PbSO_(4(S))+2H_(2)O_((l)) to PbO_(2(S))+SO_(4(aq))^(2-)+4H_((aq))^(+)+2e^(-)`. . (ii)
* Over all reaction (i)+(ii) is as follows:
`2PbSO_(4(S))+2H_(2)O to Pb_((S))+PbO_(2(S))+2H_(2)SO_(4(aq))`
* So, on anode, `PbSO_(4)` is converted into pH and on cathode `PbSO_(4)` is converted into `PbO_(2)`.

What is the basic difference between the electronic configurations of transition and inner-transition elements?

Answer»

Solution :GENERAL electronic CONFIGURATION of TRANSITION elements:
[Noble gas ]`(n-1)d^(1-10) ns^(1-2)`
General electronic configuration of inner-transition elements:
`(n-2)f^(1-14)(n-1) d^(0-1) ns^(0-2)`
Thus, in transition elements, last electron enters in (n-1) d- ORBITAL while in inner-transition elements, it enters in (n-2)f- orbital.

The standard reduction potential at 25^@C of the reaction 2H_2O+2e^(-) leftrightarrow H_2 +2OH^(-) is -0.8277 volt. Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2H_2O=H_3O^+ +OH^(-) at 25^@C

Answer»

Solution :Let the equilibrium constants for the following equations be as follows:
`H_2O+H_2O LEFTRIGHTARROW H_3O^+ +OH^(-) K_1` .......(1)
`H_3O^+ +e leftrightarrow 1/2H_2+H_2O K_2`......(2)
Adding them we get
`H_2O+ e leftrightarrow 1/2H_2 +OH^(-) K_3`........(3)
We have now to calculate `K_1`
Now for EQN(2) , `E_(H_3O^+)^@=0`
`therefore K_2=1(because E^@=0.0591/1log K)`......(Eqn 2)
For eqn. (2) `E^@=-0.8277` volt (given)
`therefore E^@=0.0591/1 LOG K_3=-0.8277`
`logK_3=-0.8277/0.0591, K_3=1 times 10^-14`
Further as eqn (3) is the sum of eqns. (1) and (2) we have
`K_3=K_1.K_2=K_1`
`therefore K_1=1 times 10^-14`

When a current of 0.75 A is passed through CuSO_(4) solution of 25 min, 0.369g of copper is deposited at the cathode. Calculate the atomic mass of copper.

Answer»

SOLUTION :QUANTITY of electricity passed `=(0.75A)(25xx60s)=1125C`
`Cu^(2+) to 2E^(-)toCu`
Thus, 1 mole of Cu (i.e., gram atomic mass) is DEPOSITED by 2F, i.e, `2xx96500C`
Now, `1125` C deposit Cu=0.369 g
`2xx96500C` will deposit Cu=`(0.369)/(1125)xx2xx96500g=63.3g`
hence, atomic mass of copper=63.3

[T_i (H_2O)_6]^(3+ )is coloured ,while [Sc(H_2O)_6]^(3+) is colourless -explain

Answer»

Solution :`Ti" in "[Ti(H_(2)O)^(6)]^(3+)" is in +3 oxidation state"`
`Sc" in "[Sc(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)" is in +3 oxidation state."`
The outer electronic configuration of Sc, Ti and their trivalent ions are.
`{:(SC,:,3D^(1)4S^(2)""Ti,:,3d^(2)4S^(2)),(SC^(3+),:,3d^(0)""Ti^(3+),:,3d^(1)):}`
`Ti^(3+)` has one unpaired electron in 3d orbital and they undergoes d - d transition. This electron can be promoted to a higher ENERGY level by LIGHT absorption. Therefore `[Ti(H_(2)O)^(6)]^(3+)` is COLOURED.
In the case of `[Sc(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)`, there is no electron in 3d orbital of `Sc^(3+)`, hence there is no possibility of light absorbance. Therefore `[Sc(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)` is colourless.
