Two students performed the same experiment separately and each one of them recorded to readings of mass which are given below. Correct reading of mass is 3.0 g. On the basis of given data, mark the correct option out of the following statements. {:("Student"," Reading"),(,"(i)(ii)"),(A,"3.012.99"),(B,"3.052.95"):}

Answer»

Results of both the students are NEITHER accurate nor PRECISE.
Results of student A are both precise and accuate.
Resulte of student B are neither precise nor accurate.
Results of student B are both precise and accurate.

Solution :`"Average of readings of student A"=(3.01+2.99)/(2)=3.00`
`"Average of readings of student B"=(305+2.95)/(2)=3.00`
Correct reading = 3.0
For both the students, average value is close to the correct value. Hence, readings of both are accurate. But readings of student A are ALSO close to each other (differ only by 0.02) and also close to the average value, hence readings of A are precise also. But readings of B are not close to each other (differ by 0.1) and hence are not precise. THUS, results of student A are both precise and accurate.

What is the role of adsorption in heterogeneous catalysis?

Answer»

Solution :The mechanism of Heterogeneous ADSORPTION involves following steps:
1) Diffusion of the reactants to the surface of the catalyst.
2) Adsorption of REACTANT molecules on the surface of the catalyst.
3) Occurrence of the chemical reaction on the catalyst surface through formation of an intermediate.
4) Desorption of the reaction products from the catalyst surface and there by making the surface available again for more reaction to occur.
5) Diffusion of reaction products away from the catalyst.s surface. This is known as Modern Adsorption THEORY. This theory explains why the catalyst remains unchanged in mass and chemical composition at the end of the reaction is effective even in small quantity. However, it failed to explain the action of catalytic promoters and inhibitors.

Which characteristic properties are shown by d-block elements? Why?

Answer»

Solution :The following characteristic properties are shown by d-block elements: (i) Variable oxidation states. (ii) FORMATION of coloured compounds. (iii) Formation of complex compounds with variety of ligands. (iv) Paramagnetism and catalytic activity (v) Alloy formation
The characteristic properties of these elements is because of incompletely filled d-orbital that are PROJECTED to the periphery of an atom more than s- and p-orbitals. As a result, ATOMS of these elements are more influenced by surroundings as well as by the atoms surrounding them. This also results in GREATER similarity in the properties of TRANSITION elements of horizontal row in contrast to non-transition elements
