What are chain transfer agents? Explain with example.

Answer»

Chain transfer is the process in which the activity of the growing polymer is transferred to another so that the growth of the polymer occur.For ex., in free radical polymerisation, initiators act as a chain transfer agent.Initiators are the one which generate the chain – initiating species. Initiator molecules contain O – O or S – S or N – O bonds. [Initiators are of peroxide type (containing O – O bonds)].Some examples of initiators, (i) Acetyl peroxide (AC2O2) (ii) Benzoyl peroxide (BZ2O2 (iii) 2, 2’ – Azobis – isobutronitrile (AIBN)

An element A burns with golden flame in air. It reacts with another element B, atomicnumber 17 to give a product C. An aqueous solution of product C on electrolysis gives acompound D and liberates hydrogenIdentify A,B,C also write down the equations for the reactionsinvolved

Answer»

A is sodium (burns with golden flame), B is chlorine (atomic number 7), C is sodium chloride and D is sodium hydroxide.

When sodium reacts with chlorine, it gives sodium chloride.

Na + Cl ⇨ NaCl

Electrolysis of sodium chloride gives sodium hydroxide.

2NaCl + 2H2O ⇨ 2NaOH + Cl2+ H2

Answer»

Fluorineis themost electronegativeelement because it has 5 electrons in it's 2P shell. The optimal electron configuration of the 2P orbital contains 6 electrons, so sinceFluorineis so close to ideal electron configuration, the electrons are held very tightly to the nucleus.

Write MO energy label diagram for CO and NO.

Answer»

TheMO diagramofNOis:

The last electron is in fact in the2b1antibonding MO, so the bond order ofNOhas decreased by12relative toNO+orCO.Therefore thebond orderis2.5.

The electronic configuration of carbon and oxygen atom are 1s²2s²2p² and 1s²2s²2p⁴ respectively. There are 4 electrons in the outer shell of carbon and 6 electrons in the outer shell of oxygen. Thus, the total of 10 outer electrons are to be accommodated in the molecular orbitals of CO molecule .Because of higher electronegativity of oxygen, its atomic orbitals would be of lower energy than the corresponding atomic orbitals of carbon .Due to this energy difference, the bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals will receive different contributions from atomic orbitals of carbon and oxygen. The bonding molecular orbitals will receive more contribution from atomic orbitals of lower energy i.e. the atomic orbitals of Oxygen and would be closer to it in energy than the antibonding molecular orbitals which would be closer to carbon in energy.The bonding molecular orbitals would have more characteristics of atomic orbitals of Oxygen and antibonding Molecular orbitals would have more characteristics of carbon.The electronic configuration of CO molecule isσ2s² σ*2s² π2px² π2py² σ2pz²Bond order = 1/2(8–2) = 3Thus ,CO contains a tripple bond. Its bondvdissociation energy is 1067 KJ/mol and bond length is equal to 1.14A⁰.Molecular orbital diagram for CO molecule is gven as.

bpperiods are(b) Calcium is an element with atomic number 20. Stating the reason in each of the followingquestions:(i) Is calcium a(ii) Will its atomic radius be larger on5peama non-metal?motaithan that of potassium with atomic number 19?(iii) Write the formula of its oxide.

Answer»

Calcium is a metal since it has two electrons in its outermost shell which it can lose easily.

K(19) is placed before Ca(20) in the same period (fourth period). Since the atomic radius decreases along a period, the atomic radius of calcium is smaller than that of potassium.

The formula of oxide of calcium is CaO, because the valency of calcium as well as that of oxygen is 2.

why is water not used as solvent in synthesis of grignard reagent

Answer»

TheGrignardcarbon is highly basic and reacts with the acidic protons of polarsolventslikewaterto form an alkane. Ether hasnoacidic protons, soGrignard reagentsare stable in ether. The MgX bond in aGrignard reagentis ionic: R-Mg+X− . Hence, it is difficult to form aGrignard reagentin a nonpolarsolvent hence water is not used and dry ether is used.

Which of the following molecule is non-polar?(A) NH3(C) H2S(B) HCN(D) SiH4

Answer»

If you look at the Lewis Structure forHCNit appears to be a symmetrical molecule. ... While there may be unequal sharing of electrons in the individual bonds, in anonpolarmolecule likeHCNthese bonds are evenly distributed and cancel out. There is no net dipole and theHCN is non-polar

Q14. In non-polar molecules which forces of attraction exista)Dispersion forcesc) Dipole-dipole interaction chDib)lon-dipole interactionipole-induced interaction

Answer»

If the molecule is nonpolar, then nodipole-dipoleinteractions or hydrogen bonding can occur and the possible intermolecular force is the weak van der Waals force or dipole - induced interaction.

Isn't it dispersion forces, as it is present in non-polar compounds?

(ii) How will you identify whether a chemical reaction is exothermic or endothermic innature?(iii) Which law of chemical combination is associated with the balancing of a chemicalequation?(iv) Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air?

Answer»

1. In exothermic reaction heat energy is released at the end of the reaction. If the product mixture is at a higher temperature than reactants, the reaction is exothermic. In endothermic reaction heat energy is absorbed. The temperature of the reaction mixture is more before the reaction than after.

2. Balancing of equations is governed by law of conservation of mass. For eg. If the mass of aluminium in the reacting species is 27g then the mass of aluminium in the product species will also be 27g.

3. Magnesium ribbon must be cleaned before burning in air so that the layer of magnesium oxide (which is formed due to reaction of magnesium with air) can be removed in order to get the desired chemical reaction.

3747.

4) Water destroys Grignard reagents why?

Answer»

Grignard reagent is not prepared in the solvent which has acidic hydrogen because it react to form alkane .

It is highly reactive and water or alcohols would protonate and destroy the Grignard reagent as the grignard carbon is highly nucleophilic.

Dry ether doesnot give H to the grignard reagent that is why it is used as solvent .

4) Water destroys Grignard reagents why?5) Is it possible to prepare methane byKolbe's Electrolytic method

Answer»

q Diethyl ether is an especially good solvent for the formation ofGrignard reagentsbecause ethers are non-acidic (aprotic).Wateror alcohols would protonate and thusdestroytheGrignard reagent, because theGrignardcarbon is highly nucleophilic. This would form a hydrocarbon.

Methane cannot bepreparedbykolbe's electrolytic method. ... TheKolbe's electrolytic methodis useful for thepreparationofethaneand higher members. Through thismethod, the alkane is formed by the combination of two alkyl free radical and therefore it would contain atleast two carbon atom.

Cobalt (II) is stable in aqueous solution but inthe presence of complexing reagents, it iseasily oxidised.

Answer»

Cobalt (II) is stable in aqueous solution but in the presence of complexion agent, it undergoes change in oxidation state from +2 to +3 and is easily oxidised. This is because CO3+ has more tendency to form coordination complexes than Co2+.
