4) – 0.4?0

Answer: (4)

[CoF3(H2O)3] (?0 < P)

CO3 + (3d6) = t2 g4 eg2

CFSE = [(-2/5) * 4 + (3/5) * 2] ?0

= – 0.4 ?0

Fact

Question 21: The osmotic pressure of a solution of NaCl is 0.10 atm and that of a glucose solution is 0.20 atm. The osmotic pressure of a solution formed by mixing 1 L of the sodium chloride solution with 2 L of the glucose solution is x × 10-3 atm. x is _______. (nearest integer)

Answer: 167

[0.1 × 1 + 0.2 × 2]/3 = 0.5/3 = (500/3) × 10-3 = 167

Question 22: The number of molecules with energy greater than the threshold energy for a reaction increases fivefold by a rise of temperature from 27°C to 42 °C. Its energy of activation in J/mol is ________. (Take ln 5 = 1.6094 ; R = 8.314 J mol-1K-1)

Answer: 84297.47

(1/5) = e-Ea/300R/e-Ea/315R

(5) = e[Ea/R][(1/300) – (1/315)]

(Ea/R) [(15/(300 × 315)] = ln 5

Ea = 1.6094 × 315 × 20 × 8.314

Ea = 84297.47 J/mol

Question 23: A 100 mL solution was made by adding 1.43 g of Na2CO3. xH2O. The normality of the solution is 0.1 N. The value of x is ________. (The atomic mass of Na is 23 g/mol).

Answer: 10

(0.1/2) × (100/1000) = (1.43/[160 + 18x])

106 + 18x = 286

18x = 180

x = 10

Question 24: Consider the following equations:

2 Fe2+ + H2O2 ? x A + y B (in basic medium)

2 MnO4 + 6 H+ + 5 H2O2 ? x ‘C + y ‘D + z’E (in acidic medium).

The sum of the stoichiometric coefficients x, y, x’,y’ and z’ for products A, B, C, D and E, respectively, is _________.


Answer: 19

2Fe2+ + H2O2 ? xA + yB ? 2Fe3+ + 2OH

2MnO4 + 6H+ + 5H2O2 ? x`C + y`D + Z`E ? 2Mn+2 + 5O2 + 8H2O

x = 2 ; y = 2; x’ = 2, y’ = 5, z’ = 8

2 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 8 = 19
