Question 15.
Give reasons for the following:
(i) Ethyne is more acidic than ethane,
(ii) Lower members of aldehyde are more soluble in water.
Answer:
(i) Ethyne contains SP hybridized carbons, while ethane contain SP3 hybridized carbons. Th SP hybrid orbitals have greater S character than SP3 which allows negative charge to be held closer to the nucleus and increasing the acidic character that is why ethyne is more acidic than ethane.

(ii) Because, lower member of aldehyde have capability of forming H-bond with water molecule.

The oxidation of SO2 is reversible process, contraction in volume and exochermic.
Hence applying i.e., Chatelier’s principle to obtained greater yield of SO3.

  • Reaction is carried out high pressure.
  • At low temperature production of SO3 should increase. But at lower temperature SO2 does not oxidise. Hence at optimum temperature 450°C catalyst V2O5 is applied.

Question 22.
(a) State Werner’s coordination theory.
(b) What are ligands ? Classify them with examples.
Answer:
(a)

  • In co-ordination compounds metals show two types of linkages (valencies) primary and secondary.
  • The primary valencies are normally ionisable and are satisfied by negative ions.
  • The secondar valencies are non-ionisable. These are satisfied by neutral molecules or negative ions. The secondary valence is equal to the co-ordination number and is fixed for a neutral.
  • The ions/groups bound by the secondary linkages to the metal have characteristic spatial arrangements corresponding to different numbers.
  • In the modem formulations, such spatial arrangements are called co-ordination polyhedra. The species with the square brackets are co-ordination entities or complexes and the ions out side the square bracket are called counter ions.
  • He further postulated that octahedral, tetrahedral and square planar geometrical shapes are more common in co­ordination compounds of transition metals. Thus [Co(NH3)6]3 +, [CoCl(NH3)5]2+and [CoCl2(NH3)4]+ are octahderal entities, while [Ni(CO)4] and [PtCl4]2- are tetrahedral and square planar respectively.

(b) The atoms or molecules or ions which donate pair of electrons to the central metal atom and thus forms co-ordinate bond with the central metal atom. Common ligands are – NH3, CO, CN-, Cl”, Br, I”, H2O etc. Ligands which can attach themselves (called ligating) through two different atoms of the same molecule are called ambident ligands or group, e.g., NO2 , SCN. They introduce linkage isomerism in the complexes.

Question 23.
Explain why
(i) Aniline dissolves in HCl.
(ii) Amines are stronger base than Ammonia
(iii) Ethylamine is more basic than Aniline
(iv) Cyclohexamine is more basic than Aniline
(v) Phenol is acidic in nature.
Answer:
(i) Aniline is somewhat basic. It is not as basic as amonia, since protonation destroys the interaction between the ring aind the lone pair on the nitrogen atom but even still it is sufficiently basic (PKb ~ 9.4) to dissolve in HCl.

(ii) The inductive effect of attached carbon chain to an amine will raise the energy of the lone pair on the nitrogen. On amines carbon will withdraw less electron density from an atom of interest that hydrogen (in amonia). That explain why alkyl amine are stronger bases than amonia.

(iii) Therefore, less electron is available in the nitrogen atom in C6H5NH2. It can easily dissociate to denote a proton, H+ by breaking -N-H bond in the amine group that attach to phenyl group. Hence aniline is a stronger acid than ethylamine.

(iv) In cyclohexamine, the electron donating group is attached to SP3 hybridized cyclohexane ring while in case of aniline it is attached with SP2 hybridized carbon containing benzene ring. Due to more S-character in benzene ring, here becomes the de localization of 7t-electrons in the ring and further the NH2– group donates more electron to the ring so that it reduces the -i-ve charge centers and stablizes the ring and moves it less acidic means basicity increases while in case of cyclohexamine, the lone pair of electron donating NH,- group is not de localised over cyclohexane ring and is available for donation, which makes the compound more basic than anile.

(v) Phenol loses its H+ when kept in an acidic medium. Due to which phenote ion is formed. This ion formed is more stable than phenol due to its resonating character. Hence phenote formation is favoured and releases of H+ make phenol acidic.
