Oxidation number of Co in [Co(NO)(CO)3] is:
  • a)
    1
  • b)
    2
  • c)
    3
  • d)
    –1
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Here can be a confusion that whether NO exists as NO+ or NO- .....CO is a π acid ligand so it accepts electron density from metal centre and so due to presence of 3 CO the metal centre is in somewhat oxidised state ....so NO releases one electron and causes one electron reduction of metal centre and NO exists as NO+ in this complex.....so coordination no. of Co is -1

The values of observed and calculated molecular weights of silver nitrate are 92.64 and 170 respectively. The degree of dissociation of silver nitrate is:
  • a)
    60%
  • b)
    83.5%
  • c)
    46.7%
  • d)
    60.23%
Correct answer is 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

First of all we have to calculate the value of vant hoff factor so that we can further find the value of dissociation constant.
HERE, formula used to calculate (i) is
i = normal or calculated molecular mass / observed molecular mass
therefore, i = 92.6/170 = 1.835
also AgNO3 dissociates to give two ions. Therefore, n = 2.
now for dissociation constant (i) = 1-(n-1)a
by putting all values we get  a = 1.835 - 1 = 0.835 x 100 = 83.5%

What is ortho effect ?

Ortho effect refers mainly to the set of steric effects and some bonding interactions along with polar effects caused by the various substituents which are in a given molecule altering its chemical properties and physical properties. In a general sense the ortho effect is associated with substitued benzene compounds.

There are three main ortho effects in substituted benzene compounds:

    - Ortho effect in substituted benzoic acid (first ortho effect) – Ortho-substituted benzoic acids are stronger acids than their meta and para isomers, regardless of the nature of the substituent
    - Ortho effect in substituted aniline (second ortho effect/SIP effect)- Ortho-substituted anilines are weaker bases than their meta and para isomers, regardless of the nature of the substituent
    - Ortho effect in electrophilc aromatic substitution of disubstitued benzene compounds (third ortho effect)- It refers to the set of steric effects which determines the regioselectivity of an incoming electrophile in disubstituted benzene compounds where a meta-directing group is meta to an ortho–para-directing group.
