Draw the structure of (a) white phosphorous (b) red phosphorous
Answer:
(a) White phosphorous
(b) Red phosphorous
Question 27.
Why do zirconium and Hafnium exhibit similar properties?
Answer:
- The element of second and third transition series resemble each other more closely than the elements of first and second transition series due to lanthanoid contraction.
- e.g., Zr- 4d series -Atomic radius 145 pm
Hf — 5d series – Atomic radius 144 pm - The radii are very similar even though the number of electrons increases.
- Zr and Hf have very similar chemical behaviour, having closely similar radii and electronic configuration.
- radius dependent properties such as lattice energy, solvation energy are similar.
- Thus lanthanides contraction leads to formation of pair of elements and those known as chemical twins, e.g., Zr – Hf
Question 28.
How will derive the formula of density of a unit cell?
Answer:
Using the edge length of a unit cell, we can calculate the density (p) of the crystal by considering a cubic unit cell as follows.
Substitute the value (3) in (2)
Mass of the unit cell = \(n \times \frac{\mathbf{M}}{N_{\mathrm{A}}}\)
For a cubic unit cell, all the edge lengths are equal, i.e., a = b = c
Volume of the unit cell = a x a x a = a3
∴ Density of the unit cell = \(\rho=\frac{n M}{a^{3} N_{A}}\)
Question 29.
The salt of strong acid and strong base does not undergo hydrolysis. Explain.
Answer:
(i) In this case, neither the cations nor the anions undergo hydrolysis. Therefore the solution remains neutral.
(ii) For example, in the aqueous solution of NaCl, its ions Na+ and Cl– ions have no tendency to react with H+ or OH– ions of water. This is because the possible products of such reaction are NaOH and HC1 which are completely dissociated. As a result, there is no change in the concentration of H+ and OH– ions and hence the solution continues to remain neutral.
Question 30.

Answer:
Question 32.
Write the reactions of (i) aromatic and (ii) aliphatic primary amines with nitrous acid.
Answer:
Aromatic primary amines react with HNO2 at 273-278 K to form aromatic diazonium salts.
Aliphatic primary amines also react with HNO2 at 273-278 K to form aliphatic diazonium salts. But these are unstable even at low temperature and thus decomposes readily to form a mixture of compounds consisting of alkyl chlorides, alkenes and alcohols, out of which ‘ alcohols generally predominates.
Question 33.

(ii) An element (A) extracted from kernite. A reacts with nitrogen at high temperature gives B. A reacts with alkali to form C. Find out A, B and C. Give the chemical equations. (3)
[OR]
(b) (i) Deduce the oxidation number of oxygen in hypofluorous acid – HOF. (2)
(ii) Which catalyst is used in the conversion of acetaldehyde to acetic acid? Give equation. (3)
Answer:
(a) (i) Coke (C) is a better reducing agent for the reduction of ZnO.
Because, when we use coke, the reduction can be easily carried out at 673 K. Thus Carbon (Coke) reduces zinc oxide more easily than carbon monoxide (CO). From the Ellingham diagrams, it is quite clear that the reduction of zinc oxide is more favourable using coke (∆G for the formation of carbon monoxide from carbon is more negative).
(ii)
- An element (A) extracted from kernite is boron.
- Boron reacts with nitrogen at high temperature to give. Boron nitride (B)
- Boron reacts with alkali (NaOH) to give sodium borate (C).
A Boron B
B Boron nitride BN C Sodium borate Na3BO3
(b) (i)
[OR]
In case of O – F bond is HOF, fluorine is most electronegative element. So its oxidation number is -1. Thereby oxidation number of O is +1. Similarly in case of O – H bond is HOF. O is highly electronegative than H. So its oxidation number is -1 and oxidation number of H is +1. So, Net oxidation of oxygen is – 1 + 1 = 0.

(ii)
Tetrahedral void | Octahedral void | |
1. | A single triangular void in a crystal is surrounded by four (4) spheres and is called a tetrahedral void | A double triangular void like c is surrounded by six(6) spheres and is called an octahedral void |
2. | A sphere of second layer is above the void of the first layer, a tetrahedral void is formed | The voids ¡n the first layer are partially covered by the spheres of layer now such a void is called a octahedral void |
3. | This constitutes four spheres, three in the lower and one in upper layer. When the centres of these four spheres are joined a tetrahedron is formed | This constitutes six spheres, three in the lower layer and three in the upper layer. When the centers of these six spheres are joined an octahedron is formed |
4. | The radius of the sphere which can be accommodated in an octahedral hole without disturbing the structure should not exceed 0.414 times that of the structure forming sphere | The sphere which can be placed in a tetrahedral hole without disturbing the close packed structure should not have a radius larger than 0.225 times the radius of the sphere.forming the structure |
5. | Radius of an tetrahedral void r/R = 0.225 | Radius of a octahedral void r/R = 0.414 |
[OR]
(b) Step 1: In an isolated gaseous state, all the five d orbitals of the central metal ion are degenerate.
Initially, the ligands form a spherical field of negative charge around the metal. In this filed, the energies of all the five d orbitals will increase due to the repulsion between the electrons of the metal and the ligand.
Step 2: The ligands are approaching the metal atom in actual bond directions. To illustrate this let us consider an octahedral field, in which the central metal ion is located at the origin and the six ligands are coming from the +x, -x, +y, -y,
+z and -z directions as shown below.
As shown in the figure, the orbitals lying along the axes dx2 – y2 and dz2 orbitals will experience strong repulsion and raise in energy to a greater extent than the orbitals with lobes directed between the axes (dxy, dyz and dzx). Thus the degenerate d orbitals now split into two sets and the process is called crystal field splitting.
Step 3: Up to this point the complex formation would not be favoured. However, when the ligands approach further, there will be an attraction between the negatively charged electron and the positively charged metal ion, that results in a net decrease in energy. This decrease in energy is the driving force for the complex formation.
During crystal field splitting in octahedral field, in order to maintain the average energy of the orbitals (barycentre) constant, the energy of the orbitals dx2 y2 and d z2 (represented as e2 orbitals) = will increase by 3/5 ∆0 while that of the- other three orbitais dxy , dyz and dzx (represented t2gas t orbitais) decrease by 2/5 ∆0 . Here, ∆0 represents the crystal field splitting energy in the octahedral field.
Question 36.
(a) Explain briefly the collision theory of bimolecular reactions. (5)
[OR]
(b) Discuss about the hydrolysis of salt of weak acid and weak base and derive pH value for the solution. (5)
Answer:
(a) Collision theory is based on the kinetic theory of gases. According to this theory, chemical reactions occur as a result of collisions between the reacting molecules. Let its understand this theory by considering the following reaction.
A2(g) + B2(g) → 2AB(g)
If we consider that, the reaction between A2 and B2 molecules proceeds through collisions between them, then the rate would be proportional to the number of collisions per second.
Rate ∝ Number of molecules colliding per litre per second (or) Rate ∝ Collision rate.
The number of collisions is directly proportional to the concentration of both A2 and B2.
Collision rate ∝ [A2][B2] ; Collision rate = Z [A2][B2] where, Z is a constant.
The collision rate in gases can be calculated from kinetic theory of gases. For a gas at room temperature (298K) and 1 atm pressure, each molecule undergoes approximately 109 collisions per second, i.e., 1 collision in 10-9 second. Thus, if every collision resulted in reaction, the reaction would be complete in 10-9 second. In actual practice this does not happen. It implies that all collisions are not effective to lead to the reaction.
In order to react, the colliding molecules must possess a minimum energy called activation energy.
The molecules that collide with less energy than activation energy will remain intact and no reaction occurs.
Fraction of effective collisions (f) is given by the following expression, \(\mathbf{f}=e^{\frac{-\mathbf{E}_{\mathrm{a}}}{\mathrm{RT}}}\)
Fraction of collisions is further reduced due to orientation factor i.e., even if the reactant collide with sufficient energy, they will not react unless the orientation of the reactant molecules is suitable for the formation of the transition state.
The fraction of effective collisions (f) having proper orientation is given by the steric factor R ’ Rate = P x f x collision rate
Where k is the rate constant.
On comparing equation (1) and (2), the rate constant k is,
k = PZ\(\frac{-E_{a}}{R T}\)

CH3COO–+H2 ⇌ CH3COOH + OH–
NH4+ + H2O ⇌ NH4OH + H+
iii. The nature of the solution depends on the strength of acid (or) base i.e., if Ka > Kb, then the solution is acidic and pH < 7, if Ka < Kb then the solution is basic and pH > 7.
If Ka= Kb, then the solution is neutral.
iv. The relation between the dissociation constant Ka, Kb and hydrolysis constant is given
Ka. Kb .Kh = Kw
v. pH of the solution pH = 7 + 1/2 PKa – 1/2 pKb
