28051.

The melting points and solubility in water of amino acids are higher than those of the corresponding haloacids. Explain.

Answer»

Solution :The amino ACIDS EXIST as zwitterions, `H_(3) overset(+)(N)-CHR-COO^(-)`. Due to this dipolar salt like character they have strong dipole - dipole attractions or electrostatic attractions . Therefore, their melting points are higher than HALOACIDS which do not have salt like character. Further , due to salt like character , they intersect strongly with `H_(2)O`. As a result , solubility in WATER of amino acids is higher than that of the corresponding haloacids which do not have salt like character.

The most favourable condition for the reaction,2SO_2+ O_2 iff 2SO_3 + 98kJ/mole is

Answer»

HIGH temperature and LOW PRESSURE
high temperature and high pressure
low temperature and low pressure

28053.

The melting points and solubility in water of amino acids are generally higher than that of the corresponding halo acids. Explain.

Answer»

amino acids exist as ZWITTER ions resulting in strong dipole-dipole attraction
amino acids are OPTICALLY active
due to HIGHER molecular mass of -`NH_(2)` group molecular mass of amino acids is higher
they interact with water more than halo-acids and have SALT like STRUCTURE .

Solution :Amino acids exist as zwitter ions, `H_(3)overset(+)N-CHR-COO^(-)` .Because of this dipolar salt-like character, they have strong dipole-dipole attractions . Hence, their melting points are higher than halo-acids .

The medicines/drugs taken for treatment of different ailments are taken orally in form of suspensions , tablets or capsules. To have maximum effect of the medicine at the desired site in the body , capsules are used. Earlier these capsules were made up of starch which used to get hydrolysed partly in the mouth and largely almost immediately in the stomach. But these days, the capsules are made up of some biodegradable polymer which slowly gets hydrolysed to have the effect of the drug for a longer period. Now answer the following questions : (i) Write the name of the biodegradable polymer used for making capules. (ii) What are the monomer units of this polymer ? (iii) Why does it produce desired therapeutic effect slowly ? (iv) What are the degradation products of this polymer ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) The name of the biodegradable polymeris : poly-`beta`- hydroxybutyrate -co-`beta`-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV).
(ii) The monomer units are : `underset(3-"Hydroxybutanoic acid")underset(CH_3)underset(|)(HO-CH-CH_(2))COOH`
`underset(3-"Hydroxybutanoic acid")underset(CH_2CH_3)underset(|)(HO-CH-CH_(2))COOH`
(iii) The polymer contains ester bonds which are hydrolysed SLOWLY by the acid present in the stomach.

The measure of net molecular polarity is a quantity called dipole moment which is defined as the magnitude of the charge Q at either end of the molecular dipole times the distance 'r' between the charge : mu=Qxxr Molecular polarities give rise to some of the forces that occur between molecules.Such forces are termed as intermolecular forces.These molecular forces are of several different types including dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonds and ion-dipole forces (operate between ions and molecules).These intermolecular forces are electrical in origin and results from the mutual attraction of unlike charges or the mutual repulsion of like charges. A formal positive charge on the central atom affect the size of orbitals.A formal positive charge on central atom will pull in all electrons towards the nucleus and this will leads to the contraction in size of orbitals. Select the correct statement.

Answer»

In trisilyl amine , all N-Si bond lengths are bigger than that of normal N-Si single covalent bond
`PH_5` can undergo `sp^3d` hybridisation to have octahedral geometry
Dipole moment of `CH_3F` is greater than that of `CH_3Cl`
Increasing STRENGTH of HYDROGEN bonding is Cl-H - Cl lt N-H - NltO -H ---O ltF -H----F

Solution :(A)Because of `ppi-dpi` delocalisation , N-Si bonds have partial double bond character so N-Si bond lengths are smaller than that of normal single covalent bond length.
(B)`PH_5` can not undergo `sp^3d` hybridisation as there is muchlarge difference in size of s, p and d orbitals `PH_5` does not exist as no partial POSITIVE charge DEVELOPS on P atom.
(C )Dipole moment of `CH_2Cl` is greater than `CH_3F` due to greater charge sepration on carbon and chlorine atoms in `CH_3Cl`.
(D) It is correct order.
The strength of hydrogen bond depends upon :
(i)size (ii)electronegativity and (iii) ease of donation of electron pair by electronegative element. Higher the value of electronegativity and smaller the size of covalently BONDED atom to H atom stronger is the hydrogen bonding.

The measured freezing point depression for a 0.1 m aqueous acetic acid solution is 0.19^(@)C. The acid dissociation constant K_(a) at this concentration will be (K_(f)= 1.86 "Km"^(-1))

Answer»

`4.76xx10^(-5)`
`4xx10^(-5)`
`8xx10^(-5)`
`2xx10^(-5)`

Solution :`DeltaT_(f)=0.19, m=0.1, K_(f)=1.86"KM"^(-1)`
`DeltaT_(f)=iK_(f)xxm`
or `i=(DeltaT_(f))/(K_(f)xxm)=(0.19)/(1.86xx0.1)=1.02`
If `ALPHA` is the degree of dissociation
`{:(,CH_(3)COOH,hArr,CH_(3)COO^(-),+,H^(+)),("Initial moles","1",,"0",,"0"),("After dissociation",""1-alpha,,""alpha,,alpha):}`
Total number of moles after dissociation `=1-alpha+alpha+alpha=1+alpha`
`i=(1+alpha)/(1)=1.02` or `alpha=0.02`
Now `K_(alpha)=C alpha^(2)=0.1xx(0.02)^(2)=4xx10^(-5)`
