(viii) How is the vapour pressure of a solvent affected when a non-volatile solute is dissolved in it? (1)
Answer:
When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, its vapour pressure decreases because some of the surface sites are occupied by solute molecules. Thereby, the fraction of the surface covered by the solvent molecules gets reduced. Thus, less space is available for the solvent molecules to vaporise. Therefore, vapour pressure is also reduced.

Question 9.
What will be the effect of temperature on rate constant?
Answer:
It has been observed that rate constant almost becomes double for every 10 K rise in temperature. The ratio of rate constants at the two temperatures differ by 10 K is called temperature coefficient and is generally lies between 2 and 3.
Temperature Coefficient = \(\frac{(\text { Rate constant })_{t+10}}{(\text { Rate constant })_{t}}\)
= \(\frac{k_{t+10}}{k_{t}}\)
≈ 2 or 3
The temperature dependence of the rate of a chemical reaction is explained by Arrhenius equation.
According to Arrhenius equation,
k = Ae^-E_a/RT
where, A= Arrhenius factor or frequency factor or pre-exponential factor
R = Gas constant
T = Temperature
E_a = Activation energy

Answer:
Let, number of atoms in ccp = x
Number of tetrahedral voids = 2x
Number of octahedral voids = x
As element M occupies \(\frac{1}{3}\)rd of tetrahedral voids hence,
Number of M atoms = \(\frac{1}{3}\) × 2x
= \(\frac{2 x}{3}\)
As element N occupies cap array hence,
Number of N atoms = x
Ratio of M and N
M : N
\(\frac{2 x}{3}\) : x
2 : 3
Formula of compound = M₂N₃.

Question 16.
What are the characteristics of the transition elements and why are they called transition elements ? Which of the d-block elements may not be regarded as the transition element ? (3)
OR
Explain the following by giving reasons:
(a) Transition metals and many of their compounds show paramangetic behaviour.
(b) The enthalpies of atomisation of the transition metals are high.
(c) The transition metals generally form coloured compounds.
(d) Transition metals and their many compounds act as good catalyst. (3)
Answer:
General characteristics of transition elements:

Except mercury which is liquid, all the other transition elements have typical metallic structure and’show all the properties of metals like conductivity, malleability, ductility, metallic luxture, high tensile strength etc.
They have high melting and boiling points, high enthalpies of vaporisation, high enthalpies of atomisation and high enthalpies of hydration of their ions.
They are electropositive in nature.
They show variable oxidation states.
A number of transition metals and their compounds show catalytic properties.
Most of the transition metals form coloured compounds.
These compounds are generally paramagnetic in nature.
They have a great tendency to form complexes.
They form interstitial compounds with elements like H, C, B and N.
They form alloys.
The d-block elements are called transition elements because these elments have their properties intermediate between those of s and p block elements and represent a change from the most electropositive s-block to the least electropositive p- block elements. Thus acting as transition elements.
Zn, Cd and Hg have general formula (n – 1) d¹⁰ ns² i.e., they have completely filled electronic configuration for d-shell in ground state as well as in exited state. So they are not regarded as transition elements.

Question 17.
What is crystal field splitting energy ? How does the magnitude of Δ₀ decide the actual configuration of d-orbitals in a coordination entity? (3)
OR
Aqueous copper sulphate solution (blue in colour) gives:
(a) a green precipitate with aqueous potassium fluoride and
(b) a bright green solution with aqueous potassium chloride. Explain these experimental results. (1½ + 1½ = 3)
Answer:
In an octahedral field, when ligands approach to the central metal ion to form coordination bonds, the five degenerated d-obitals of central metal ion splits in two sets of orbitals having different energies. This splitting of degenerated d-orbitals is called central field splitting and the energy difference between two sets of orbitals is called crystal field splitting energy (CFSE, Δ₀)

The configuration of d-orbitals in a coordination complex depends on the value of Δ₀ < p, the fourth electron enters one of the orbitals hence configuration becomes (t_2g)^z (e_g)¹ and high spin complex is formed. The ligands if Δ₀ > p, fourth electron get paired up in one of the t_2g orbitals hence configuration becomes (t_2g)⁴ (e_g)⁰ and low spin complex is formed. The ligands for which Δ₀ > p are called strong field ligands.

(b) What is known as a recemic mixture? Give an example.
(c) Of the two bromoderivatives, C₆H₅CH (CH₃) Br and C₆H₅CH (C₆H₅) Br, which one is more reactive in S_N1 substitution reaction and why?
(d) Although chlorine is an electron withdrawing group, yet it is ortho, para-directing in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Explain why it is so? [1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4]
Answer:
(a) Use of DDT (Dichlorodiphenyl Trichloroethane): As a powerful insecticide, it is widely used for sugar¬cane and fodder crops to kill mosquitoes, lice which carry pathogens.

Use of iodoform (CHI₃): It is used as an antiseptic for dressing wounds. Its antiseptic action is due to liberation of iodine when iodoform comes in contact with skin but not due to iodoform itself.

(b) In S_N2 reactions, reactivity depends upon steric hindrance
(i) 1-Bromopentane (1° halogen) having less steric hindrance therefore is more reactive than 2- Bromopentane hence undergoes S_N2 reactions faster.

(ii) 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane having less steric hindrance, is thus more reactive towards S_N2 reaction than 2-bromo-2-methyl butane (more steric hindrance).

OR
Predict the products of the following reactions:
(a) CH₃ – CH₂ – CH₂ – O – CH₃ + HBr→
(b)

(c)

(d)

Answer:
(a) (i) Boiling points increase regularly as the molecular mass increases due to the corresponding increase in their vander Waals forces of attraction. Thus, boiling points increase in the order:
methanol, ethanol, propan-l-ol, butan-l-ol and pentan-l-ol.
Among isomeric alcohols, 2° alcohols have lower boiling points than 1° alcohols due to a corresponding decrease in the extent of H-bonding because of steric hindrance. Thus, b.p. of butan-2-ol is lower than that of butan-l-ol. Thus, the overall increasing order of boiling point is:
methanol < ethanol < propan-l-ol < butan-2-ol < butan-l-ol < pentan-l-ol

(ii) Boiling points of ethers having molecular mass equal to or less than K-butane (i.e., 58 g mol^-1) are higher than those of the corresponding n-alkanes. However, the boiling points of ethers having molecular mass equal to or higher than n-pentane (i.e., 72 g mol^-1) are lower than the corresponding n-alkanes. Thus, b.p. of n-butane is lower than that of ethoxyethane. Further, the b.ps of alcohols are much higher than those of alkanes, and ethers of comparable molecular masses due to intermolecular H-bonding. However, boiling points of aldehydes are lower than those of corresponding alcohols due to absence of H-bonding but are still higher than those of alkanes and ethers of comparable molecular masses. Thus, the overall increasing order of boiling point is:
n-butane < ethoxyethane < pentanal < pentan-l-ol.

(b) Both – OH and – CH₃ groups are o, p-directing. Therefore, positions 2, 4 aftd 6 are activated but due to steric hindrance, substitution does not occur at a position in between the two groups, i.e., position 2. Consequently, electrophilic substitution occurs at 4 and 6 positions giving a mixture of products. .
