2. Potassium tetrachloronickelate(II): K₂[NiCl₄]

Question 8.
Write the reagents required in the following reactions:

OR
Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their property as indicated:
(i) CH₃COCH₃, C₆H₅COCH₃, CH₃CHO (reactivity towards nucleophilic addition reaction)
(ii) Cl-CH₂-COOH, F-CH₂-COOH, CH₃-COOH (acidic character).

Answer:
(i) CH₂=CH-CH₂OH

Nucleophiles are negatively charged entity, the positivity of carbon in the carbonyl group facilitates nucleophilic addition. Thus positivity of carbon in carbonyl group is in order HI > I > II. Due to +1 effect of -CH₃ group and benzene ring π-cloud, the positivity of carbonyl carbon is decreased so much than (I) and (II). Thus nucleophilic addition order III > I > II.

The stability order II > I > III. Due to +1 effect of -CH₃ group electron density of oxygen is more. But in (I) and (II), -I effect of -F is more than -Cl. Thus II is more stabilized than I. Thus acidity order is II > I > III.

Answer:

1. Negative deviation of Raoult’s law occurred. There is an elevation of boiling point i.e., the temperature of the solution increases.
2. When a blood cell is placed in water (hypotonic solution), water penetrate to blood cell and blood cell gets bulged and then disrupt.

According to Raoult’s law,

Where
P⁰ → Vapour pressure of pure water
P → Vapour pressure of the solution
w → Weight of solute
m → Molecular weight of solute
W → Weight of solvent
M → Molecular weight of solvent

or, 0.005 m = 0.9 or, m = 180.
Thus the molar mass of the solute 180 gm./mol

Thus phenol is more acidic than CH₃ – OH.

(ii) Due to the presence of lone pair on oxygen which causes repulsion, the bond angle in alcohol is slightly less than tetrahedral angle (109⁰28′).

XeF₂ + PF₅ → [5] Answer:
(a) (i) Size of halide ions is of the order
F^– < Cl^– < Br^– < I^– with increase in size negative charge is dispersed throughout ions and ions gets stabilized. Thus acidity order
HF < HCl < HBr < HI.

(ii) Due to the presence of vacant d-orbital and combining forms of sulphur (S₈) which is not present in oxygen, the cohesive energy of sulphur is more than oxygen leading to large melting point and boiling point.

(ii) The exhaust emitted from supersonic jet aeroplane contains CO₂, NO and other particles which are the killers of stratospheric ozone layer along with the supersonic sound produced by these aeroplanes are destroy the ozone layer.

(iii) Due to the smaller size and high electronegativity of fluorine, more energy is required to break the bond of F₂ than Cl₂. Thus F₂ has lower bond dissociation energy than Cl₂.

OR

(b) C₂H₅NH₂ < (C₂H₅)₃N < (C₂H₅)₂NH
+I effect of three C2Hs group increases the enormous availability of lone pair of nitrogen atom than +I effect of 2 ethyl group.
Thus the order of basicity is I < III < II.

(c) C₆H₅ – NH₂ (Primary amine) and C₆H₅ – NH – CH₃ (Secondary amine) can be distinguished by Hinsberg’s test. In this test, amines are allowed to react with Hinsberg’s reagent, benzene sulphonyl chloride (C₆H₅SO₂Cl). Primary amines react with this reagent to form N-alkyl benzene sulfonyl amide which is soluble in alkali but secondary amines give sulphonamide which is insoluble in alkali.

(b) A first-order reaction takes 30 minutes for 50% completion. Calculate the time required for 90% completion of this reaction.
Answer:


OR
(a) (i) Since the given reaction has order two with respect to reactant B, thus if the concentration of B is doubled in the given reaction, then the rate of reaction will become four times.

(ii) It the concentration of B is doubled i.e.; [B]² the overall reaction will be two, because if A is present in large excess, then the reaction will be independent of the concentration of A and will be dependent only on the concentration of B.
Order of reaction = 2.
