Reaction Overview
When nitrobenzene is treated sequentially with (i) NH4Cl/Zn dust followed by (ii) H2SO4/Na2Cr2O7, a specific transformation occurs that leads to the formation of nitrosobenzene.
Step 1: Reduction of Nitrobenzene
- The first reagent, NH4Cl/Zn dust, serves as a reducing agent.
- Nitrobenzene (C6H5NO2) undergoes reduction to form an intermediate, aniline (C6H5NH2).
- This is a critical step as it converts the nitro group (-NO2) to an amino group (-NH2).
Step 2: Oxidation to Form Nitrosobenzene
- The next reagent, H2SO4/Na2Cr2O7, is an oxidizing agent.
- In the presence of sulfuric acid and chromium trioxide, aniline is oxidized to nitrosobenzene (C6H5NO).
- This transformation involves the formation of a diazonium salt intermediate which, upon hydrolysis and subsequent treatment, yields nitrosobenzene.
Conclusion
- The final product, nitrosobenzene, is achieved through the sequential reactions of nitrobenzene first with NH4Cl/Zn dust followed by H2SO4/Na2Cr2O7.
- Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option 'C': nitrosobenzene.
Key Points
- Nitrobenzene to aniline via reduction.
- Aniline oxidized to nitrosobenzene.
- Sequential treatment crucial for correct product formation.

The ratio of magnetic field and magnetic moment at the centre of a current carrying circular loop is x. When both the current and radius is doubled the ratio will be
  • a)
    x/8
  • b)
    x/4
  • c)
    x/2
  • d)
    2x
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

  • Let's consider a circular loop of radius 'r' and current 'I' flowing through it.

  • At the centre of the loop, magnetic field is given by the formula B = μ₀I/2r where μ₀ is the permeability of free space.

  • Magnetic moment of the loop is given by the formula M = πr²I, which is the product of current, area and number of turns.

  • The ratio of magnetic field and magnetic moment at the centre of the loop is x = B/M = (μ₀I/2r)/(πr²I) = μ₀/2πr.

  • Now, if we double the current and radius, new magnetic field at the centre of the loop will be B' = μ₀(2I)/(2(2r)) = μ₀I/2r.

  • Similarly, new magnetic moment of the loop will be M' = π(2r)²(2I) = 4πr²I.

  • Hence, the new ratio of magnetic field and magnetic moment at the centre of the loop will be x' = B'/M' = (μ₀I/2r)/(4πr²I) = μ₀/8πr.

  • Therefore, the ratio of magnetic field and magnetic moment at the centre of the loop is reduced to x/8 when both the current and radius are doubled.

Decimal Equivalent of Binary Number (11010.101)2

To find the decimal equivalent of a binary number, we need to understand the place value system in binary and decimal systems.

Binary Place Values:
In a binary number, each digit represents a power of 2 starting from right to left. The rightmost digit represents 2^0, the next digit represents 2^1, the next represents 2^2, and so on.

Decimal Place Values:
In a decimal number, each digit represents a power of 10 starting from right to left. The rightmost digit represents 10^0, the next digit represents 10^1, the next represents 10^2, and so on.

Converting the Integer Part:
The integer part of the binary number (11010)2 can be converted to decimal by multiplying each digit with the corresponding power of 2 and adding them together.

(11010)2 = (1 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^0)
= 16 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 0
= 26

Converting the Fractional Part:
The fractional part of the binary number (0.101)2 can be converted to decimal by multiplying each digit with the corresponding negative power of 2 and adding them together.

(0.101)2 = (1 * 2^-1) + (0 * 2^-2) + (1 * 2^-3)
= 0.5 + 0 + 0.125
= 0.625

Combining the Integer and Fractional Part:
To find the decimal equivalent of the entire binary number (11010.101)2, we combine the decimal values of the integer and fractional parts.

Decimal equivalent = Integer part + Fractional part
= 26 + 0.625
= 26.625

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 26.625.

Which of the following statements regarding ozone is not correct ?​

Aman Verma answered
Understanding Ozone and Its Properties
Ozone (O3) is a triatomic molecule composed of three oxygen atoms. Its unique properties and structure distinguish it from molecular oxygen (O2). Among the options provided, statement 'C' is incorrect. Here’s why:
Ozone Molecule Structure
- Ozone has an angular or bent shape due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the central oxygen atom.
- It forms a V-shaped structure with bond angles of approximately 117 degrees.
Bonding and Resonance
- Ozone is indeed a resonance hybrid of two structures. This means that it can be represented by multiple Lewis structures, which contribute to its actual structure.
- The resonance stabilizes the molecule and accounts for the equal bond lengths observed in ozone.
Oxygen-Oxygen Bond Length
- Statement 'C' claims that the Oxygen-Oxygen bond length in ozone is identical to that of molecular oxygen. This is incorrect.
- The bond length in ozone is longer than that in molecular oxygen due to the nature of the bonding and resonance. In O2, the bond is a double bond, while in ozone, the bond characteristics are influenced by resonance, resulting in longer bond lengths.
Applications of Ozone
- Ozone is widely used as a germicide and disinfectant. It purifies air and water, making it effective in sanitation processes.
- Its strong oxidizing properties allow it to kill bacteria and deactivate viruses, highlighting its importance in health and safety.
In conclusion, option 'C' is incorrect because the bond lengths in ozone and molecular oxygen are not the same, reflecting the unique characteristics of ozone's molecular structure.

Which of the following orders regarding ionization energy is correct ? ​

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Maitri Gupta answered
Explanation:

Ionization energy:
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion. It is measured in kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol).

Trend in ionization energy:
- Ionization energy generally increases across a period from left to right and decreases down a group from top to bottom.
- This is because as you move across a period, the effective nuclear charge increases, making it harder to remove an electron. As you move down a group, the outer electrons are further away from the nucleus, making them easier to remove.

Order of ionization energy:
- In this case, the correct order is N > O < />
- Nitrogen (N) has a higher ionization energy than oxygen (O) because nitrogen has one less electron shell, making it harder to remove an electron.
- Fluorine (F) has the highest ionization energy among the three because it is the most electronegative element and has the smallest atomic radius, making it the most difficult to remove an electron from.
Therefore, the correct order of ionization energy is N > O < f.="" />

Atharva Gupta answered
Introduction to Ortho and Para-Hydrogens
Ortho-hydrogen and para-hydrogen are two different spin isomers of molecular hydrogen (H2). Their distinction arises from the alignment of the nuclear spins of the two hydrogen atoms.
Identical Chemical Properties
- Both ortho and para-hydrogen consist of the same molecular formula (H2), meaning they have the same chemical composition.
- Consequently, they exhibit identical chemical properties, such as reactivity and types of chemical bonds formed in reactions.
Different Physical Properties
- Spin States: In ortho-hydrogen, both hydrogen nuclei have parallel spins, while in para-hydrogen, the spins are anti-parallel. This difference in spin states influences their physical behavior.
- Energy Levels: Ortho-hydrogen is higher in energy than para-hydrogen due to its spin configuration. As a result, ortho-hydrogen can convert to para-hydrogen and vice versa, but under normal conditions, they exist in different proportions.
- Thermal Properties: The physical properties such as boiling points and heat capacities differ. Para-hydrogen has a lower boiling point and is denser than ortho-hydrogen.
Conclusion
In summary, ortho and para-hydrogen share identical chemical properties due to their same molecular structure. However, their different spin states lead to variations in physical properties, making option 'A' the correct choice. Understanding these distinctions is crucial in fields like cryogenics and quantum mechanics.
