Which of the 3d series of elements exhibits the largest number of oxidation states. Why?

Answer»

Solution :Mn shows the MAXIMUM NUMBER of oxidation states. This is because of its outer electronic configuration, `3d^5 4s^2` Since there is not much ENERGY difference between 3d and 45, it uses its 3d electrons also for bonding. So Mn shows all oxidation states from `+2` to `+7`.

Vapour pressure of pure 'A' is 70 mm of Hg at 25^(@)C. It forms an ideal solution with 'B' in which mole fraction of A is 0.8 . If the vapour pressure of the solution is 84 mm of Hg at 25^(@)C, the vapour pressure of pure 'B' at 25^(@)C is :

Answer»

56 mm
70 mm
140 mm
28 mm

Solution :`p_("total")=p_(A)+p_(B)`
`=p_(A)^(@)x_(A)+p_(B)^(@)x_(B)`
`p_(A)^(@)=70` mm HG, `x_(A)=0.8`
`p_(B)^(@)=? "" x_(B)=1-x_(A)=0.2`
`p_("total")=84` mm Hg.
`:.84=(70xx0.8)+(p_(B)^(@)xx0.2)`
