1.     To the mixture of aqueous solution of a Nitrate salt and Ferrous sulphate, con.H2SO4 is slowly added through the slanted walls of the test tube. A brown ring is formed little above (nearly middle) the bottom of the test tube.                 [9 Marks]

        a) What is the significance of this test?

        b) Which acts as reductant?

        c) What is the change of oxidation state of oxidant?

        d) What is the chemical composition of the Brown’s ring?

        e) Why con.H2SO4 is added only through the slanted walls of the test tube?

        f) Write the related chemical equations for above chemical changes.

 

2.     It is observed that a solid mixture of chloride salt and potassium dichromate is heated with con.H2SO4 red vapours are formed. When these vapours are passed into aqueous caustic soda solution yellow solution is formed.  This on further treatment with lead acetate solution, a yellow precipitate is formed.        [7½  Marks]

        a)  What is significance of the sequence of reactions?

        b)  What is the name and formula of the red vapours?

        c)  Why red vapours are changed to yellow solution?  And write its formula

        d)  What is the yellow precipitate formed in the last step and its formula?

        e)  Write the related chemical equations for above chemical changes.

        a)  What is the dissociation constant (Ka) of the acid?

        b)  Calculate the pH of 0.1M solution of weak acid (AH)?

        c)  This acid is neutralized by adding required quantity of aqueous NaOH

             solution. What is the approximate the range of pH of solution?

     d)  To the original solution HCl is added.  What happens to the ratio of conjugate   

           base to the acid and how Ka of the acid is affected?

        e)  To the above original solution sodium salt of same weak acid is added.  What

             happens to the pH of the solution?

Statement

Explanation

i

The third period contains only 8 elements and not 18 like 4th period

In III period filling starts from 3s1 and complete at 3p6 whereas in IV period it starts from 4s1 and complete after 3d10 and 4s2

ii

Transition elements show horizontal as well as vertical relationship

This is due to shielding effect and similar electronic configuration

iii

Cs and F2 combines violently to form CsF

Cs is most electropositive and F is most electronegative

iv

A jump in 3rd ionisation energy is noticed in case of alkaline earth metals

The jump in ionisation energy is due to change in major energy shell during successive removal of electron

v

First ionisation energy of Be is more than that IE1 of B

Removal of electron in Be occurs from 2s subshell whereas in B from 2p subshell

vi

Formation of CI- is exothermic whereas formation of O2- endothermic

EA2 of oxygen is endothermic and greater than its exothermic value EA1 of oxygen

vii

BiCl5 does not exist

In Bi inert pair effect is more predominant

viii

Second EA for halogens is zero

Fluorine has maximum value of electron affinity
