The compound `AgF_(2)` is an unstable compound. However, if formed, the compound acts as a strong oxidising agent. Why? |
|
Answer» In `AgF_(2)`, oxidation state of `Ag` is `+2` which is very very unstable. Therefore. It quickly accepts an electron to form the more stable `+1` oxidation state `Ag^(2+)+e^(Θ)rarr Ag^(o+)` Therefore, `AgF_(2)`, if formed, will act as a strong oxidising agent. |

`{:("Column I","Column II"),((A)underset(3.5"mole")(Sn^(+2))+underset(1.2"mole")(MnO_4^(-)("acidic")),(p)"Amount of oxidant available decides the number of electrons transfer"),((B)underset(8.4"mole")(H_2C_2O_4)+underset(3.6"mole")(MnO_4^(-)("acidic")),(q)"Amount of reductant available decides the number of electrons transfer"),((C )underset(7.2"mole")(S_2O_3^(-2))+underset(3.6"mole")(l_2),(r)"Number of electrons involved per mole of oxidant gt Number of electrons involved per mole of reductant"),((D )underset(9.2"mole")(Fe^(+2))+underset(1.6"mole")(Cr_2O_7^(-2)"(acidic)"),(s)"Number of electrons involved per mole of oxidant lt Number of electrons involved per mole of reductant"):}` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - a-p,r ; B-q,r ; C-p,q,r ; D-q,r (A)Eq of `Sn^(2+)`=Moles x v.f. =3.5x2=7 Eq of `MnO_4^(-)` =Moles xv.f=1.2x5=6 Since `MnO_4^(-)`(O.A) is the LR, so the amount of oxidant available decides the number of electron transfer. Also, electron involved per mole of OA `(5)gt` electron involved per mole of RA(2). (B)Eq of `H_2C_2O_4`=Moles x v.f. =8.4x2=16.8 Eq of `MnO_4^(-)` =Moles x v.f=3.6x5=18 Since `H_2C_2O_4`(RA) is the LR, so the amount of reductant available decides the number of electron transfer. Also, electron involved per mole of `OA (5)gt` electron involved per mole of RA(2). (C )Eq of `S_2O_3^(2-)`=Moles x v.f. =7.2x1=7.2 Eq of `I_2` =Moles x v.f=3.6x2=7.2 Since `S_2O_3^(2-)`(RA) and `I_2` (OA) both completely get consumed, so both the amount of reductant and oxidant decides the number of electron transfer. Also, electron involved per mole of `OA (2)gt` electron involved per mole of RA(1). (D)Eq of `Fe^(2+)`=Moles x v.f. =9.2x1=9.2 Eq of `Cr_2O_7^(2-)` =Moles x v.f=1.6x6=9.6 Since `Fe^(2+)`(RA) is the LR, so the amount of reductant available decides the number of electron transfer. Also, electron involved per mole of `OA (6)gt` electron involved per mole of RA(1). |

Match the following : `{:("Column-I","Column-II"),((A)"4.5 m solution of"CaCO_3"density 1.45 gm/ml",(p)"Mole fraction of solute is 0.2"),((B)"3 M 100 ml" H_2SO_4 "mixed with 1 M 300 ml"H_2SO_4"solution",(q)"Mass of the solute is 360 gm"),(( C)"14.5 m solution of Ca",(r)"Molarity=4.5"),((D)"In 2 litre solution of 4 M NaOH, 40 gm NaOH is added",(s)"Molarity 1.5"),((E)"5m (molal)NaOH solution",(t)"16.66%(w/w) of NaOH solution"):}` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A-r , B-r , C-p D-q,r E-t (A)4.5 m,`CaCO_3` means 4.5 moles of `CaCO_3` is present in 1000 g solvent. mass of solute =4.5x100=450 g mass of solution =1450 g. So, volume of solution =`1450/1.45=1000 ml` Hence molarity=4.5 M (B)Resultant molarity =`(3xx100+1xx300)/400=3/2=1.5 M` ( C)mole fraction `=14.5/(14.5+55.5)=0.2` (D)moles of NaOH in 2 ltr =4x2=8 mole moles of NaOH added `=40/40=1` mole `:.` Molarity =`9/2=4.5` M mass of NaOH=9x40=360 g (E) % (w/w) NaOH `=(5xx40)/(5xx40+1000)xx100=16.66%` |
