The lanthanide contraction is due to

Answer»

perfect shielding of F-orbitals
perfect shielding of d-orbitals
imperfect shielding of f-orbitals
imperfect shielding of d-orbitals

Solution :As we move from Ce to Lu, nuclear charge or effective nuclear charge increases by one unit at each ELEMENT because addition of 14-electrons in 4f-orbitals. The shielding EFFECT of 4f-electrons is very less or poor, which is due to diffused shape of 4f-orbital. The shielding effect of orbitals decreases in order.
`s gt p gt d gt f.`
Hence 4f-electrons are not able to shield perfectly the attraction between nucleus and outermost eletronic orbit.
The effect of INCREASED nuclear charge is more than that of shielding effect of 4f-orbitals. hence atomic or ionic size decreases from Ce to Lu.

The Lambda^(@) values of KNO_3 and LiNO_3 are 145.0 and 110.1S cm^(2) mol^(-1) respectively . The lambda^(@) value for K^(+) ion is 73.5 S cm^(2) mol^(-1) . Calculate lambda^(@) (Li^(+)) .

Answer»


SOLUTION :`lambda_(m)^(oo) (NO_(3)^(-)) = Lambda^(oo) (KNO_(3)) - lambda^(oo) (K^(+))`
`= 145.0 - 73.5 = 71.5 S cm^(2) mol^(-1)`
`lambda^(oo) (Li^(+)) = Lambda^(oo) (LiNO_(3)) - lambda^(oo) (NO_(3)^(-))`
`= 110.1 - 71.5 = 38.6 S cm^(2) mol^(-1)`

The kinetic study of a reaction like vA rarr P at 300 K provides the following curve, where concentration is taken in mol dm^(-3) and time in min.

Answer»

N = 0, k = 4.0 mol `dm^(-3) min^(-1)`
`n=(1//2), k = 2.0 mol^(1/2) dm^(-3//2) min^(-1)`
n= 1, k= 8.0 `min^(-1)`
n - 2, k = 16.0 `dm^3 mol^(-1) min(-1)`

Solution : From the graph, `sqrt(r_0)=4[A]_0` …(i)
RATE = `k[A]_0^n` …(ii)
`therefore r_0 = 16[A]_0^2`
On comparing EQ. (ii) and (iii),we get,
k=`16dm^3mol^(-1)min^(-1)`,n = 2

The kinetic molecular theory attributes an average kinetic energy of (3)/(2) kT to each particle. What rms speed would a mist particle of mass 10^(-12) g have at room temperature (27^(@)C) according to the kinetic molecular theory ?

Answer»

Solution :KE per MOLECULE `= (3)/(2)kT`
`= (3)/(2).(R)/(N).T`.
If the mass of ONE molecule is m then KE of this molecule
`= (1)/(2) MC^(2)`, where c is the rms SPEED.
`therefore (1)/(2)mC^(2) = (3)/(2) (R)/(N).T`
or `C = sqrt(3 xx (R)/(N) xx (T)/(m))`
`= sqrt((3 xx 8.314 xx 10^(7) xx 300)/(6.022 xx 10^(23) xx 10^(-12))) = 0.35 cm//s`
