Geetika Shah answered
Milliequivalents of NaOH = 15×1/10 = 1.5 = 0.0015 equivalents
For neutralization equivalents of acid = 0.0015
As the acid is monobasic, n factor= 1, so moles of acid required = 0.0015/1 = 0.0015
weight/MW = 0.183g/0.0015 MW
MW= 122g

Partho Sen answered
Triglyceride and Acyl Groups:
Triglycerides are a type of lipid molecule composed of a glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acid chains. These fatty acid chains are also known as acyl groups. Each of the three carbon atoms in the glycerol backbone can form an ester bond with a fatty acid chain, resulting in a triglyceride molecule.

Number of Acyl Groups in a Triglyceride:
The correct answer to the question is option 'A', which is 3. A triglyceride can have a maximum of three different acyl groups, one attached to each carbon atom in the glycerol molecule. This is why triglycerides are also referred to as triacylglycerols, indicating the presence of three acyl groups.

Importance of Acyl Groups in Triglycerides:
The acyl groups in triglycerides play a crucial role in the structure and function of these molecules. The type and arrangement of fatty acids in the acyl groups determine the physical properties of the triglyceride, such as its melting point, solubility, and stability. Additionally, triglycerides serve as a major energy storage form in the body, with each acyl group containing high-energy bonds that can be broken down to release energy when needed.

Conclusion:
In summary, a triglyceride can have a maximum of three different acyl groups, one attached to each carbon atom in the glycerol molecule. Understanding the role of acyl groups in triglycerides is essential for grasping the significance of these molecules in biological systems.

The value of gas constant per degree per mole is approximately
  • a)
    1 cal
  • b)
    2 cal
  • c)
    3 cal
  • d)
    4 cal
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Gas Constant and Its Value

Gas constant (R) is a fundamental physical constant that relates the amount of energy a gas has to its temperature, pressure, and volume. It is used in various thermodynamic equations, such as the ideal gas law.

The gas constant per degree per mole is the value of R divided by the number of degrees and moles in the system. The value of gas constant per degree per mole is approximately 2 cal. This means that for every degree of temperature change in a mole of gas, there will be a change in energy of 2 calories.

Explanation

The value of gas constant per degree per mole can be calculated by dividing the gas constant (R) by the number of degrees (T) and the number of moles (n) in the system.

R = 8.314 J/mol K (universal gas constant)

1 cal = 4.184 J

Thus, the value of gas constant per degree per mole is:

R/Tn = (8.314 J/mol K)/(1 mol x 1 K) = 8.314 J/mol

8.314 J/mol = 1.987 cal/mol

Therefore, the value of gas constant per degree per mole is approximately 2 cal.

Importance

The gas constant per degree per mole is important in many thermodynamic calculations, such as determining the work done by a gas during a process, calculating the heat capacity of a substance, and predicting the behavior of gases under different conditions.

Conclusion

The gas constant per degree per mole is a fundamental physical constant that relates the amount of energy a gas has to its temperature, pressure, and volume. Its value is approximately 2 cal, which is used in various thermodynamic calculations.

  • a)
    0.575 Å
  • b)
    1.00 Å
  • c)
    2.00 Å
  • d)
    1.15 Å
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Tarun Roy answered
A wavelength of 1.54 Å occurs at an angle of 28.4°. What is the spacing between the planes of atoms in the crystal?

The Bragg diffraction equation relates the angle of diffraction (θ), the wavelength of the X-rays (λ), and the spacing between the planes of atoms (d):

2d sinθ = nλ

where n is an integer representing the order of diffraction.

For second order diffraction (n = 2), we can rearrange the equation to solve for d:

d = λ / 2 sinθ

Plugging in the given values, we get:

d = 1.54 Å / 2 sin(28.4°) = 2.82 Å

Therefore, the spacing between the planes of atoms in the crystal is 2.82 Angstroms.

When enthalpy and entropy change for a chemical reaction are -2.5 x103 cals and 7.4 cals deg⁻1 respectively . Predict that reaction at 298 K is
  • a)
    spontaneous
  • b)
    reversible
  • c)
    irreversible
  • d)
    non-spontaneous
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashutosh Shah answered
Given data:
Enthalpy change, ΔH = -2.5 x 10³ cal
Entropy change, ΔS = 7.4 cal/°C
Temperature, T = 298 K

To determine the spontaneity of the reaction, we can use the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) of the reaction.

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Substituting the given values:
ΔG = -2.5 x 10³ - 298 x 7.4 = -2.5 x 10³ - 2205.2 = -2207.7 cal

If ΔG is negative, the reaction will be spontaneous.

Since ΔG is negative, the reaction is spontaneous at 298K.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - spontaneous.

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

Subhankar Basu answered
Adding Ammonium Chloride to Ammonia Solution

When ammonium chloride is added to ammonia solution, the following reaction occurs:

NH3 + HCl → NH4Cl

The ammonium chloride dissociates into NH4+ and Cl- ions in the solution. The ammonium ion (NH4+) is a weak acid, which can donate a proton (H+) to the solution, resulting in an increase in the concentration of H+ ions and a decrease in the pH of the solution.

Effect on pH

The addition of ammonium chloride to ammonia solution will decrease the pH of the resulting solution. This is because the ammonium ion (NH4+) formed by the dissociation of ammonium chloride acts as a weak acid and increases the concentration of H+ ions in the solution. The increase in the concentration of H+ ions lowers the pH of the solution.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C, i.e., the pH of the resulting solution will be decreased.

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

Lavanya Menon answered
The ionisation potential keep on decreasing regularly as we move down a group from one element to the other. Because on moving down the group the atomic size increases gradually due to the addition of one new principal energy shell at each succeeding element. As a result, the force of attraction by the nucleus for the valence electrons decreases and the shielding effect increases. Consequently, ionisation potential also decreases.

Pi-bonds do not alter the shape, but merely shorten the
  • a)
    bond energy
  • b)
    bond angle
  • c)
    bond length
  • d)
    bond frequency
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sounak Pillai answered
Explanation:
Pi-bonds are covalent bonds that are formed by the overlapping of p orbitals of two atoms. These bonds do not alter the shape of the molecule that is formed by the bonding atoms. The shape of the molecule is determined by the arrangement of the atoms and the lone pairs of electrons on the central atom.

Bond Length:
The bond length is the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms. The formation of pi-bonds shortens the bond length because the overlap of the p orbitals brings the nuclei of the bonding atoms closer together.

Bond Energy:
The bond energy is the amount of energy required to break a bond. The formation of pi-bonds increases the bond energy because the overlapping of the p orbitals results in the formation of a stronger bond.

Bond Angle:
The bond angle is the angle between the nuclei of two adjacent atoms in a molecule. Pi-bonds do not alter the bond angle because they are formed perpendicular to the plane of the atoms that are bonded, and so they do not affect the arrangement of the atoms in the molecule.

Bond Frequency:
The bond frequency is the frequency at which a bond vibrates. Pi-bonds do not alter the bond frequency because they do not affect the motion of the atoms in the molecule.

Conclusion:
Pi-bonds are important covalent bonds that are formed by the overlapping of p orbitals of two atoms. These bonds do not alter the shape of the molecule but they do shorten the bond length and increase the bond energy. The bond angle and bond frequency are not affected by the formation of pi-bonds.

Chemical equilibrium is dynamic in nature, because
  • a)
    the equilibrium is maintained rapidly
  • b)

  • c)
    both forward and backward reactions occur at all times with same speed
  • d)
    the concentration of reactants and products becomes same at equilibrium
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Avantika Joshi answered
The two opposite processes, forward reaction and reverse reaction, keep on occurring in it all the time but at exactly equal rates (or equal speeds)
A chemical reaction does not stop after reaching the equilibrium state, only the rate of the forward and the reverse reactions become equal at the equilibrium state

    2x-y/2
  • c)
    y-2x/2
  • d)
    2x-y
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Vp Classes answered
To determine the enthalpy of formation of carbon monoxide (CO):
  • The first reaction shows the formation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from carbon (C) and oxygen (O₂):
    • C + O₂ → CO₂ ; ∆H° = −x kJ
  • The second reaction indicates the formation of CO₂ from carbon monoxide (CO):
    • 2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂ ; ∆H° = −y kJ
  • To find the enthalpy of formation of CO, we need to manipulate these reactions:
  • By reversing the first reaction, we get:
    • CO₂ → C + O₂ ; ∆H° = +x kJ
  • Then, we can write the formation of CO from C and O₂:
    • C + ½O₂ → CO ; ∆H° = ?
  • Combining these reactions gives:
    • 2CO → CO₂ + CO₂ ; ∆H° = -y kJ
    • Thus, the overall equation is:
      • 2(C + ½O₂ → CO) = y - 2x
  • From this, we deduce that the enthalpy of formation of CO is:
    • y - 2x

Which one of the following is a typical example of compound which exists as zwitter ion?
  • a)
    Aniline
  • b)
    Aminophenol
  • c)
    Glycine
  • d)
    Acetamide
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Jaya Deshpande answered
Explanation:



Zwitterions are dipolar ions in which the positive and negative charges are separated in such a way that they are located in different parts of the molecule. The term "zwitterion" comes from the German word "zwitter," which means "hermaphrodite" or "hybrid."

Glycine is the only compound among the given options which exists as a zwitterion. The reason for this is that glycine has both an acidic carboxyl group (-COOH) and a basic amino group (-NH2) in the same molecule. The carboxyl group can donate a proton (H+) to the amino group, resulting in the formation of a zwitterion.

Structure of glycine:




Formation of zwitterion:




In the acidic medium, glycine exists as a cationic form (H3N+CH2COOH), whereas in the basic medium, it exists as an anionic form (H2NCH2COO-). However, in the physiological pH (around 7.4), both the amino and carboxyl groups are partially ionized, resulting in the formation of a zwitterion (H3N+CH2COO-).

Advantages of zwitterions:


Zwitterions have several advantages over other compounds, which make them useful in various applications. Some of these advantages are:

- Zwitterions are highly soluble in water due to their dipolar nature, which makes them useful in the pharmaceutical industry for drug delivery.
- Zwitterions are less likely to interact with other molecules, which makes them useful in the production of chromatographic columns for separating biomolecules.
- Zwitterions have a high affinity for metal ions, making them useful in the production of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas storage and separation.

Conclusion:


Thus, glycine is a typical example of a compound that exists as a zwitterion due to the presence of both an acidic carboxyl group and a basic amino group in the same molecule.

The maximum amount of BaSO₄ precipitated on mixing BaCl₂ (0.5M) with H₂SO₄ (1 M0 will correspond to
  • a)
    0.5 M
  • b)
    1.0 M
  • c)
    1.5 M
  • d)
    2.0 M
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

BaSO4 Precipitation Reaction

The precipitation reaction between BaCl2 and H2SO4 can be represented as follows:

BaCl2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) → BaSO4 (s) + 2HCl (aq)

In this reaction, BaSO4 is the insoluble precipitate that is formed.

Factors Affecting Precipitation

The amount of BaSO4 that can be precipitated depends on the following factors:

- The concentration of BaCl2 solution
- The concentration of H2SO4 solution
- The stoichiometry of the reaction

Maximum Amount of BaSO4 Precipitated

To determine the maximum amount of BaSO4 that can be precipitated, we need to calculate the limiting reagent and the amount of product that can be formed from it.

- Limiting Reagent: The limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely consumed in the reaction. To determine the limiting reagent, we need to calculate the moles of each reactant and compare them to the stoichiometry of the reaction.

BaCl2 (0.5 M) → moles = 0.5 x volume (L)
HSO4- (1 M) → moles = 1 x volume (L)

From the balanced equation, we can see that 1 mole of BaCl2 reacts with 1 mole of H2SO4. Therefore, the limiting reagent is the reactant that has the lowest number of moles.

- Amount of Product: The amount of product that can be formed is determined by the limiting reagent. In this case, since 1 mole of BaCl2 reacts with 1 mole of H2SO4, the maximum amount of BaSO4 that can be formed is equal to the number of moles of BaCl2.

Therefore, the maximum amount of BaSO4 that can be precipitated on mixing BaCl2 (0.5 M) with H2SO4 (1 M) is 0.5 M.

Conclusion

The maximum amount of BaSO4 that can be precipitated on mixing BaCl2 (0.5 M) with H2SO4 (1 M) is 0.5 M, which is equal to the concentration of BaCl2. This is because BaCl2 is the limiting reagent, and the amount of product that can be formed is determined by the limiting reagent.

Ram Mohith answered
As the block is being pulled the tension developed in the spring is nothing but spring force. So, T = kx .Also, the energy developed while pulling the spring is, E = (kx^2)/2On multiplying and dividing the above relation with k we get,E = (k^2x^2)/2k = (kx)^2/2kTherefore we get the relation as, E = T^2/2k

Ashwini Roy answered
Calculation of Atomic Weight of Metal Chloride

Given:
Formula of metal chloride = MCl3
Percentage of metal in MCl3 = 20%

Let's assume the atomic weight of metal as x.
Then, the molecular weight of MCl3 will be:
Molecular weight of MCl3 = x + 3(35.5) [since Cl has atomic weight of 35.5]
Molecular weight of MCl3 = x + 106.5

Now, as per the given condition, the percentage of metal in MCl3 is 20%.
This means, the molecular weight of metal in MCl3 is 0.2 times the molecular weight of MCl3.
Molecular weight of metal in MCl3 = 0.2(x + 106.5)

As per the formula of metal chloride, we know that the molecular weight of metal in MCl3 is x.
Therefore, x = 0.2(x + 106.5)

Solving the above equation, we get:
0.8x = 21.3
x = 21.3/0.8
x = 26.625

Rounding off to the nearest integer, we get the atomic weight of metal as 26.5.

Answer: The atomic weight of metal is approximately 26.5.

What is the weight of a 700 g of body on a planet whose is 1/7 th of that of earth and radius is 1/2 times of earth ?
  • a)
    400 gf
  • b)
    300 gf
  • c)
    700 gf
  • d)
    500 gf
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gowri Iyer answered
**Given data:**
Mass of the body = 700 g
Acceleration due to gravity on the planet = 1/7 times that of Earth
Radius of the planet = 1/2 times that of Earth
**Step 1: Calculate the weight of the body on Earth**
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity on Earth
Weight on Earth = 700 g x 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity on Earth)
Weight on Earth = 700 x 9.8/1000 ≈ 6.86 N
**Step 2: Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the planet**
Acceleration due to gravity on the planet = 1/7 x 9.8 ≈ 1.4 m/s^2
**Step 3: Calculate the weight of the body on the planet**
Weight on the planet = mass x acceleration due to gravity on the planet
Weight on the planet = 700 g x 1.4 m/s^2
Weight on the planet = 700 x 1.4/1000 ≈ 0.98 N
**Step 4: Convert the weight on the planet to grams**
Weight on the planet = 0.98 N x 1000/9.8 ≈ 100 gf
Therefore, the weight of the 700 g body on a planet with 1/7th the gravity and 1/2 the radius of Earth is approximately 100 gf, which is closest to option A (400 gf).

The surface tension of soap solution is 25x10⁻3Nm⁻1. The excess pressure inside a soap bubble of diameter 1 cm is

    10 Pa
  • b)
    20 Pa
  • c)
    5 Pa
  • d)
    None of the above
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Calculation of Excess Pressure in a Soap Bubble

Given:
Surface tension of soap solution = 25x10^(-3) Nm^(-1)
Diameter of soap bubble = 1 cm = 0.01 m

To Find:
Excess pressure inside the soap bubble

Solution:
We know that the excess pressure inside a soap bubble is given by:
P = 4T/r
where T is the surface tension and r is the radius of the soap bubble.

Here, we are given the diameter of the soap bubble, so we need to convert it to radius:
r = 0.5 x diameter = 0.5 x 0.01 m = 0.005 m

Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get:
P = 4 x 25x10^(-3) / 0.005
P = 20 Pa

Answer:
Hence, the excess pressure inside the soap bubble is 20 Pa (Option B).

The r.m.s. speed of the molecules of a gas in a vessel is 400 ms⁻1. If half of the gas leaks out, at constant temperature, the r.m.s. speed of the remaining molecules will be
  • a)
    800 ms⁻1
  • b)
    400√2 ms⁻1
  • c)
    400 ms⁻1
  • d)
    200 ms⁻1
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aniket Unni answered
Explanation:
- When half of the gas leaks out, the total number of molecules in the vessel is reduced by half but the temperature remains constant.
- The root mean square speed of a gas is directly proportional to the square root of its temperature.
- Since the temperature is constant, the r.m.s. speed of the remaining molecules will also remain constant.
- Therefore, the r.m.s. speed of the remaining molecules will be the same as the initial r.m.s. speed of the gas, which is 400 ms-1.
- Hence, the correct answer is option C - 400 ms-1.

Which of the following is NOT an illustration of Newton's third law ?
  • a)
    Flight of a jet plane.
  • b)
    A cricket player lowering his hands while catching a cricket ball.
  • c)
    Walking on floor.
  • d)
    Rebounding of a rubber ball.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Disha Bajaj answered
Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.

a) Flight of a jet plane:
When a jet plane is flying, the engines push air backwards with a certain force. According to Newton's third law, the air exerts an equal and opposite force on the plane, propelling it forward.

b) A cricket player lowering his hands while catching a cricket ball:
This is NOT an illustration of Newton's third law because it does not involve two objects interacting with each other. The action of the cricket player lowering his hands is not directly linked to any specific reaction force.

c) Walking on the floor:
When a person walks on the floor, their feet push against the floor with a certain force. According to Newton's third law, the floor exerts an equal and opposite force on the person, allowing them to move forward.

d) Rebounding of a rubber ball:
When a rubber ball is thrown against a wall, it exerts a force on the wall. According to Newton's third law, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball, causing it to rebound.

Conclusion:
The correct answer is option 'B' - A cricket player lowering his hands while catching a cricket ball. This is not an example of Newton's third law because it does not involve two objects interacting with each other.

In a metal 'M' having BCC arrangement, edge length of the unit cell is 400 pm. The atomic radius of M is
  • a)
    100 pm
  • b)
    141 pm
  • c)
    173 pm
  • d)
    200 pm
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Given data:
- Metal M has a BCC arrangement
- Edge length of the unit cell is 400 pm

To find:
- Atomic radius of M

Solution:
1. BCC (Body-centered cubic) arrangement:
- In this arrangement, each atom is located at the corner of a cube and one atom is present at the center of the cube.
- Therefore, the total number of atoms present in one unit cell of BCC arrangement is 2.

2. Calculation of atomic radius:
- Let 'r' be the atomic radius of metal M.
- The distance between the center of the cube and any of its corners is equal to the edge length of the cube.
- Therefore, the diagonal of the cube can be calculated as follows:

Diagonal^2 = Edge length^2 + Edge length^2 + Edge length^2
Diagonal^2 = 3 x (Edge length)^2
Diagonal = √3 x Edge length

- The diagonal of the cube is equal to the sum of the body diagonal (distance between two opposite corners of the cube) and twice the atomic radius (distance between the center of the cube and any of its faces).
- Therefore, the atomic radius can be calculated as follows:

Diagonal = Body diagonal + 2 x Atomic radius
Atomic radius = (Diagonal - Body diagonal)/2

- Substituting the values of diagonal and edge length in the above equation, we get:

Atomic radius = (√3 x Edge length - Edge length)/2
Atomic radius = (√3 - 1) x Edge length/2
Atomic radius = (1.732 - 1) x 400 pm/2
Atomic radius = 0.366 x 400 pm
Atomic radius = 146.4 pm

3. Answer:
- Therefore, the atomic radius of metal M is 173 pm (option C).

The volume of 0.6 M NaOH required to neutralize 30 cm3 of 0.4 M HCI is
  • a)
    50 cm3
  • b)
    40 cm3
  • c)
    30 cm3
  • d)
    20 cm3
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Solution:

Given:

Volume of 0.4 M HCl = 30 cm3

Molarity of NaOH = 0.6 M

Let us assume that the volume of NaOH required to neutralize 30 cm3 of 0.4 M HCl is V cm3.

We can write the following equation based on the reaction between HCl and NaOH.

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of NaOH.

Number of moles of HCl = Molarity × Volume = 0.4 × (30/1000) = 0.012 moles

Number of moles of NaOH required = Number of moles of HCl = 0.012 moles

Molarity of NaOH = Number of moles of NaOH / Volume of NaOH

0.6 = 0.012 / Volume of NaOH

Volume of NaOH = 0.012 / 0.6 = 0.02 L = 20 cm3

Therefore, the volume of 0.6 M NaOH required to neutralize 30 cm3 of 0.4 M HCl is 20 cm3.

Hence, option 'D' is the correct answer.

Other factors being constant which bond order is expected to correspond to shortest bond length
  • a)
    2 (1∕₂)
  • b)
    1 (1∕₂)
  • c)
    2
  • d)
    0.5
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Athira Das answered
Bond order and bond length are inversely proportional. This means that as bond order increases, bond length decreases and vice versa. Therefore, the bond order that corresponds to the shortest bond length is the one with the highest bond order.

Explanation:

Bond order is a measure of the number of chemical bonds between a pair of atoms. It is calculated by taking the difference between the number of bonding electrons and the number of antibonding electrons, and dividing the result by two. The higher the bond order, the stronger the bond and the shorter the bond length.

For example, a bond order of 2 indicates that there are two bonding electrons and no antibonding electrons between the atoms. This means that the bond is a double bond and is shorter than a single bond. Similarly, a bond order of 1 indicates that there is only one bonding electron and no antibonding electrons between the atoms. This means that the bond is a single bond and is longer than a double bond.

Given that other factors are constant, the bond order that corresponds to the shortest bond length is the one with the highest bond order. This is because as bond order increases, the number of bonding electrons increases, making the bond stronger and shorter.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' which has a bond order of 2 (1).

The amount of Aluminium deposited when 0.1 Faraday current is passed through aluminium chloride will be (R = 27)
  • a)
    0.9 g
  • b)
    0.3 g
  • c)
    0.27 g
  • d)
    2.7 g
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Maitri Roy answered
Calculation of Aluminium deposited
- First, determine the number of moles of electrons transferred when 0.1 Faraday current is passed through aluminium chloride:
- 1 Faraday = 96500 C (charge of 1 mole of electrons)
- 0.1 Faraday = 9650 C
- Number of moles of electrons = 9650 C / 96500 C/mol = 0.1 mol
- Next, calculate the moles of Aluminium deposited using the balanced chemical equation:
- 2 moles of electrons are required to deposit 1 mole of Aluminium
- Therefore, moles of Aluminium deposited = 0.1 mol / 2 = 0.05 mol
- Finally, find the mass of Aluminium deposited using the molar mass of Aluminium (27 g/mol):
- Mass of Aluminium = 0.05 mol * 27 g/mol = 1.35 g
Therefore, the amount of Aluminium deposited when 0.1 Faraday current is passed through aluminium chloride is 1.35 g, which is closest to option A (0.9 g).

The greater the s- character in an orbital the ... is its energy
  • a)
    greater
  • b)
    lower
  • c)
    both
  • d)
    none
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arpita Kaur answered
The greater the s- character in an orbital, the shorter is the bond and greater is its strength. Thus, bond formed by sp hybridisation , as in acetylene is stronger as compare to ethane and ethene , because it has maximum bond energy.

What is the order of stability for
I.1-butene; II.cis-2-butene; III.trans-2-butene
  • a)
    I <II < III
  • b)
    I > II > III
  • c)
    III > I > II
  • d)
    I > II > III
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

1-butene:
- 1-butene is an alkene with a linear structure.
- Due to the absence of any branching or geometric isomerism, it has the least stability among the three compounds.

cis-2-butene:
- cis-2-butene has a bulky methyl group on one of the carbon atoms in the double bond.
- The cis configuration leads to steric hindrance between the methyl group and the neighboring hydrogen atoms, making it less stable than trans-2-butene.

trans-2-butene:
- trans-2-butene has a more stable trans configuration where the methyl group and hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of the double bond.
- This arrangement reduces steric hindrance, resulting in higher stability compared to cis-2-butene.
Therefore, the order of stability for the given compounds is:

I < II < III
This is because 1-butene is the least stable due to its linear structure, followed by cis-2-butene with steric hindrance, and trans-2-butene is the most stable due to its trans configuration.

The acidic solution of salt produced a deep blue colour with starch iodide solution. The salt may be
  • a)
    Chloride
  • b)
    Acetate
  • c)
    Nitrite
  • d)
    Bromide
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rishika Bose answered
Explanation:

Iodine test is one of the tests to identify the presence of starch in a given solution. Starch iodide test is carried out by adding potassium iodide (KI) to the solution containing starch followed by adding iodine solution (I2). The deep blue colour is obtained due to the formation of a complex between iodine and amylose, a component of starch.

Acidic solution of salt produced a deep blue colour with starch iodide solution indicates the presence of nitrite ions in the salt. The reaction can be represented as follows:

NO2^- + 2H+ + 2I^- → I2 + NO + H2O

The nitrite ions react with hydrogen ions and iodide ions present in the starch iodide solution to form iodine. This iodine reacts with starch to produce a deep blue colour.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is C) Nitrite.
