4. C (it is due to triple bond... there are many molecules with stable config. ex. Na+ (it has full filled orbital) but it is extremely reactive)

5. C (all others have max oxdn state of +5 in P)

6. Thermal stablity of polyhalides is ??
Na+,K+,Rb+,NH4+

Polyhalides mein kabse Na+,K+ aane laga hai?

In question 6..i used that funda..like that we have for peroxides..Li peroxide is not stable bcoz the charge density is not matchable and down the grp peroxides and superoxides become stable because the charge density is matchable...

similarly in this case I3- is a very big anion..so stability will increase down the grp..as down the grp charge density decreases..

@govind ...can u elaborate for Q6 plzz

29
govind ·

I took I3- here for comparison...coz the other polyhalides are very less stable..

7) "Anion" kya hai idhar...matlab talking about which halogen, so as 2 compare charge density....??

Also,how do v have a "Polyhalide" here...?

29
govind ·

oops..abt the position of NH4+ i was unsure...the concept is....thermally stable compounds are formed when there is a charge density matchability b/w the cations and anions...

thx for Q5...it maybe misprint in ans key then..

ans2 is given as alcohol

ans6 is Na+ < K+ < NH4+< Rb+

xplain plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ans 2 ...Urea or sodium Stannate..

Ans 5 ...H3PO3

Ans 6 .. Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < NH4+

what is the answer given for q 2?i got my ans from wiki.
there might be quite a few answers for this..

@Eureka..the flaw in post #5 is that.....Phosphorus has also the same config. 3s2 3p3 ..but it's very reactive as we know...So only reason for less reactivity of N2 is it's high bond dissociation energy..

Subhomoy Bakshi ·

explanation for #5...why is it wrong!!

well N has a high ionization energy since it has got stable structure with half filled p orbitals!!

but as N is non metallic in nature, it has got negative electron gain enthalpy...hmm...even if it wer positive, the value would be not much!!

thus reactivity of a N atom, or any electron gaining species as such does not depend on the structure in case it is gaining its first electron

well the previous statement is just madre out of floating thoughts, may be wrong!!

@asish....
kk.i got 4
ans 5 wrong

aur Q6 jaisa fiitjee ne likha ,maine vaisa hi likh diya.....main toh dumb hoon yaar

@arka
ans2,5 wrong

7. it has to be c)conc H2SO4,CaO and NaOH will react with Cl2 as they are basic and Cl2 is an acidic gas.
5. c)H3PO3 as in it P is in oxidation state +3 which can be increased.
4. c)as said by others earlier the triple bond in N2 molecule is difficult to break.
2. wikipedia It is usually stabilized with acetanilide(N-phenylacetamide),a substance that has toxic side-effects in significant amounts.

kkk.....i dint have direct ans for that

option were of type .. one monobasic and 2 dibasic etc.....

point out flaw in what i said in #5

Subhomoy Bakshi ·

4)

Nitrogen gas (dinitrogen) is chemically non-reactive at ordinary temperature due to:

* Its small atomic size.

* Its high bond order. The N-N bond in the N2 molecule has a formal triple bond character.

The NN bond is very stable. Its bond dissociation energy is 946kJ mol-1.

The dissociation constant is extremely small and even at 3000 K there is no appreciable dissociation. This indicates the strength of the N-N bond.

thx sb,pritish,tush..

Q2,4,5,6 still pending

11
Tush Watts ·

Ans 3) (c) bcoz it reacts with CO2 in air, it removes both CO2 and produces O2.

2Na2O2 + 2 CO2 → Na2CO3 + O2

Yes subho is right for Q7...actually some PHOSPHORUS compound is dried over CaO.
http://www.ucc.ie/academic/chem/dolchem/html/elem/elem017.html

It is dried by bubbling through conc H2SO4.

@sb
any reason for Q3 ??

24
eureka123 ·

@sb
Q7
u r rite...but whats its reaction with CaO ???

39
Pritish Chakraborty ·

7) I think chlorine is dried over a packed tower of CaO, if I remember correctly...could be some other compound also.

49
Subhomoy Bakshi ·

for 3) i think the most probable answer is a peroxide...the only given peroxide is Na2O2.

49
Subhomoy Bakshi ·

for 5) it is conc. H2SO4...this is because with basic drying agents Cl2 undergoes neutralisation and with HBr it undergoes redox reaction!!

so left option is H2SO4

why not d ??
1s2 2s2 2p3
exactly half filled orbitals....

for quest 4..

it is c)

high bond dissociation energy (due to TRIPLE bond)
