Write notes on (a) Bond Angle (b) Bond Enthalpy (c)Bond length and (d) Bond order.

Answer»

Solution :a) Bond angle : The angle between the orbitals containing bonding electron pairs around the central atom in a molecule, COMPLEX ION is called bond angle. Bond angle is expressed in degrees.
i) Bond angle depends on the presence of lone pair electrons with increase in the number oflone pairs the bond angle decreases. eg. in the molecules which contain four electron pairs the bond angles are follows.

ii) Bond angle decreases with increase in the electronegativity with increase in the electronegativity of central atom. eg.

iii) Bond angle depends on the hybridisation.

b) Bond enthalpy : The AMOUNT of energy required to break one mole of bonds of a particular type between two at atoms in a gaseous state is called bond enthalpy.
More is the bond enthalpy, stronger the bond and more is the STABILITY of the molecule.
In the case of poly atomic molecules the bond enthalpy is the average of the similar bond ENTHALPIES is taken. eg. in `H_(2)O` to break the two O - H bonds is not same. The energy required for breaking first bond is 502 kJ `mol^(-1)` and for the second bond is 427 kJ `mol^(-1)`. So the average value 464.5 kJ `mol^(-1)` is considered as the bond enthalphy.
c) Bond length : It is defined as the equilibrium distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule.
Bond length is equal to the sum of the covalent radii of two similar atom in the bond. In hetero atomic molecules the bond length can be calculated using the formula.
`d_(AB)=r_(A)+r_(B)+c(X_(A)-X_(B)). " Where " X_(A) " and " X_(B)` are the electronegativities of atom A and B. The value of C depends on the nature of atoms participating in the bond.
Bond lengths depend on the number of bonds between atoms, type of hybridisation etc.
d) Bond order : It is defined as the number of bonds between the two atoms in a molecule.
Eg : Bond orders in `H_(2)` is 1, `O_(2)` =2 and `N_(2)` = 3.
In the resonance hybrid the bond order
`="No. of bonds around the central atom"/"No. of atoms around the central atom"`
In cyclic compounds, the bond order is
`="No. of bonds in the ring"/"No. of atoms forming the ring"`
Isoelectronic molecules and ions have identical bond orders. e.g. `F_(2) " and " O_(2)^(2-)` have bond order 1. `N_(2)`, CO and `NO^(+)` have bond order 3.
More the bond order more is the bond enthalpy, lesser the bond length, more the stability.

The secondary valence of Pt^(4+) is six. Calculate the number of moles of AgCl participated, when axcess of AgNO_3 solution is added to 2L of 0.1 M PtCl_4 . 4NH_3 solution.

Answer»

Solution :Secondary valence of `Pt^(4+)` is six it will be satisfied by four `NH_3` and two `Cl^(-)` ions. The remaining two `Cl^(-)` ion satisfy only PRIMARY valence. `PtCl_4 . 4NH_3` can be WRITTEN as `[Pt(NH_3)_4Cl_2]Cl_2`.

Write down the reactions taking place in different zones in the blast furnace during the extraction of iron.

Answer»

Solution :The reactions taking place in different zones of BLAST furnace are :
(i) Zone of combustion : Coke burns near the tuyeres to form carbon dioxide.
`C+O_(2) to CO_(2), triangleH = -393.3kJ`
Temperature in this zone is around 2170K.
(ii) Zone of heat absorption : Coke present in the charge reduces `CO_(2)" to "CO`.
`CO_(2) +C to 2CO, triangleH = +163.2 kJ`
Since this REACTION is endothermic, the temperature gradually falls to 1423K.
(III) Zone of slag formation : In region, limestone decomposes to form CaO and `CO_(2.CaO` formed acts as flux and combines with SILICA to form slag.
`{:(CaCO_(3) to CaO(s)+CO_(2)(g)),(CaO+SiO_(2)to CaSiO_(3)),("Calcium silicate "),("(slag) "):}`
The temperature here is around 1123 K.
(iv) Zone of reduction : The following reactions take place in this zone :
`{:(Fe_(2)O_(3)+CO overset(823K)(to)2FeO+CO_(2)),(Fe_(3)O_(4)+CO overset(823K)(to)3FeO+CO_(2)):}`
Further, reduction of `FeO" to "Fe` by CO occurs at 1123 K
`FeO+CO overset(1123K)(to)Fe+CO_(2)`
(v) Zone of fusion : Temperature here is in between 1423K - 1623K. Spongy iron melts and dissolves some C, S, P, Si, Mn, etc. `CaSiO_(3)` slag also metls in the region. Both the molten slag and molten iron trickle down into hearth where they form two layers. Molten slag `CaSiO_(3)` being lighter forms the upper layer while molten iron being heavioer forms the lower layer.
