The absorption at λmax 279 nm (ε = 15) in the UV spectrum of acetone is due to:
  • a)
    π-π* transition
  • b)
    σ-σ* transition
  • c)
    n-π* transition 
  • d)
    π-σ* transition
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Edurev.iitjam answered
The type of transition is responsible for a band at λmax = 279 nm in absorption spectrum of acetone. In case of n → π* transitions, the polar solvents form hydrogen bonds with the ground state of polar molecules more readily than with their excited states. Therefore, in polar solvents the energies of electronic transitions are increased.

 The acidity for the following compounds increases in the order:
CH3​CH2​CH(Br)COOH, CH3CH(Br)CH2​COOH, (CH3​)2CHCOOH
  • a)
     I < II < III 
  • b)
     II < III < I 
  • c)
     III < II < I 
  • d)
     II < I < III
     
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Edurev.iitjam answered
a. EWG ( e−− withdrawing groups) increases the acidic strength, whereas EDG ( e−− donating groups) decrease the acidic strength.
b. Nearer is the EWG to the source [(−COOH)group], stronger is the acid, i.e., α− substituted halo acid stronger than β−orγ− substituted halo acid.
Increasing order of acidic strength:
(III)<(II)<(I).

For the reaction in equilibrium, A B

Thus, K is
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sushil Kumar answered
From the  reaction
-d[A]/dt = d[B] /dt
⇒2.3 × 106 [A] = k [B]
 as given in question [B] /[A] = 4 × 108
so [A] / [B] = 1/ 4 ×108
⇒ 2.3 × 106 . [A] /[B] = k
⇒  2.3 × 106 / 4 × 108 = k
Or k = 5.8 × 10-3 /sec¹

Akash Kulkarni answered  •  Jan 09, 2025
Understanding Equivalent Conductivity
Equivalent conductivity (Λeq) is a measure of a solution's ability to conduct electricity, specifically per equivalent concentration of the solute. For ionic compounds like Fe2(SO4)3, we can relate it to molar conductivity (Λm) using the number of ions produced in solution.
