What are the consequences that lead to the development of quantum mechanical model of an atom ?

Answer»

Solution :In 1923 Louis de-Broglie proposed that like light MATTER also has dual character . It exhibits wave as well as particle nature . He derived an equation to calculate the wave-length`(lamda)` of the wave associated with a particle of mass m , nmoving with velocity v and it is given by
`lamda=(h)/("mv")" (or)"lamda=(h)/(p)`
'h' is Planck's constant and P is momentum of the particle . It may be noted that wave character has significance only in the case of sub-microscopic particles such as electrons.
The precise location of a wave cannot be predicted as a wave is not located at a particular point but EXTENDS in space . Thus the wave nature of electron puts some restriction in finding the position precisely . W . Heisenberg put forward this limitation in the form of uncertainty principle . According ot Heisenberg,
"It is not possible to determine simultaneously and accurately both the position and momentum of a small moving particle , such as electron."
It can be EXPRESSED mathematically as ,
`DELTA"x"xxDeltapge(h)/(4pi)`
`Delta"x"xxmDeltavge(h)/(4pi)`
where `Deltax` = uncertainty in position
`Deltap` = uncertainty in momentum
m = mass of particle
`Deltav` = uncertainty in velocity
h = Planck's constant.
The uncertainty principle is due to the direct consequence of dual nature of matter .
Amicroscopic object such as electron has both observable wave - like and particle - like properties . The behaviour of such particles cannot be explained on the basis of science called quantum mechanical MODEL of atom was developed . Quantum mechanics is a theroretical science that takes into account the dualnature of matter .

Thevalueof therate constantof a pseudofirst order reaction ……… .

Answer»

 depends on the CONCENTRATION of REACTANTS present in small amount
depends on the concentration of reactants present in excess
is independent of the concentration of reactants
 depends only on temperature

Solution : PSEUDO first order reaction is a chemical reaction in which rate of reaction dependsupon concentration of cnly one reactant while concentration of another reactant hasno effect on rate of reaction.
e.g.. HYDROLYSIS of ethyl acetate in presence of excess of water
`CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5) +underset("excess")(H_(2)O) overset(H^(+)) to CH_(3)COOH+ C_(2)H_(5)OH`
`r = k [ CH_(3)COO C_(2)H_(5)]^(2) [H_(2)O]^(O)`
Excess `[H_(2)O]` can cause the independency of reaction on `H_(2)O`.
Hence, (a) is the correct choice.

`P_((H_(2)))=2atm and [H^(+)]=1.0M`
`P_((H_(2)))=2atm and [H^+]=2.0M`

Solution :`2_((aq))^(+)+2e^(-)toH_(2(g))`
`E_(red)=E_(red)^(@)-(0.0591)/(N)log((P_((H_(2))))/((H^(+))^(2))`
`E_(red)=0-(0.0591)/(2)log((2)/((1)^(2))`
`E_(red)=(0.0591)/(2)log2`
`thereforeE_(red)` is found to be negative for (c) option.

Answer»

Solution :Different steps involved in the mechanism of catalytic activity:

(ii) Adsorption of reactant MOLECULES on the surface of the catalyst takes place.
(iii) Chemical reaction between the reactants takes place on the catalyst surface resulting in the formation of intermediate compound.
(IV) The PRODUCTS formed are desorbed from the catalyst surface, thereby making space for other reactant molecules to form the products.
(V) Diffusion of reaction products away from the catalyst surface. This theory explain why the catalyst remains unchanged in mass and chemical composition at the end of the reaction.

Whenever a mixture of gases is allowed to come in contact with a particular adsorbent under the same conditions, the more strong adsorbate is adsorbed to greater extent irrespective of its amount present, e.g. H_(2)O is adsorbed to more extent on silica gel than N_(2) and O_(2). This shows that some adsorbates are preferentially adsorbed. It is also observed that preferentially adsorbable adsorbent can displace a weakly adsorbed substance from the surface of an adsorbent. When temperature is increased

What is the order of acidic character of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols?

Answer»

Solution :The `1^(@),2^(@) and 3^(@)` alcohols have one, two and three alkyl groups on the CARBON atom attached to the OH group as shown below:

Since alkyl groups have +I-effect, therefore, electron density in O-H bond INCREASES from `1^(@)` to `3^(@)` alcohols. In other WORDS, the O-H bond in `3^(@)` alcohols is the strongest and hence most difficitul to break followed by O-H bond in `2^(@)` alcohols while the O-H bond in `1^(@)` alcohols is the weakest and hence most easy to break. THUS, the acid STRENGTH of alcohols follows the order:
