PASSAGE 1

The coordination number of Ni2+ is 4.

NiCl2 + KCN (excess) → A (cyano complex)

NiCl2 + Conc . HCl (excess) → B (chloro complex)

Q. Predict the magnetic nature of A and B

Detailed Solution: Question 2

However, CN– is a strong field ligand so it forces the 3d electrons to pair up and hence the effective configuration in this case will be Ni2+ in presence of CN–

Thus [Ni (CN)4]2– exhibits dsp2 hybridization and square planar shape. Since here number of unpaired electrons is zero the complex will be diamagnetic.
In case of [NiCl4]2–, Cl– is a weak field ligand, so the effective configuration of Ni2+ in this complex will be as follows : Ni2+ in presence of Cl–

So here Ni2+ is sp3 hybridised and thus tetrahedral in shape. Since the complex has two unpaired electrons, it will be paramagnetic.

PASSAGE 2

Copper is the most noble of the first row transition metals and occurs in small deposits in several countries. Ores of copper include chalcanthite (CuSO4.5H2O), atacamite (Cu2Cl(OH)3), cuprite (Cu2O), copper glance (Cu2S) and malachite (Cu2(OH)2CO3). However, 80% of the world copper production comes from the ore chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). The extraction of copper from chalcopyrite involves partial roasting, removal of iron and self-reduction.

Q. In self-reduction, the reducing species is

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Cu2S + 2Cu2O → 6Cu + SO2

The reducing species is the one which gets oxidised.
So, it is S2– ion getting oxidised to S4+.

Read the following statement-1(Asseration/Statement) and Statement -2 (Reason/Explanation) and answer as per the options given below :

Q.

Statement-1 : To a solution of potassium chromate if a strong acid is added it changes its colour from yellow to orange.
Statement-2 : The colour change is due to the oxidation of potassium chromate.

Detailed Solution: Question 10

The statement is correct

Oxidation state of Cr in Na2CrO4 and Na2Cr2O7 is +6, i.e. no change in O.S. So explanation is wrong

Statement-1 : Zn2+ is diamagnetic.
Statement-2 : Two electrons are lost from 4s orbital to form Zn2+.

Detailed Solution: Question 11

Zn2+ is diamagnetic because of absence of unpaired electrons.

Statement-1 : The geometrical isomers of the complex [M(NH3)4Cl2] are optically inactive. and

Statement-2 : Both geometrical isomers of the complex [M(NH3)4Cl2] possess axis of symmetry. 

Detailed Solution: Question 12

The geometrical isomers of [M(NH3)4Cl2] can be represented as follows:-

These isomers are optically inactive and they posses axis of symmetry.
Both the statements are thus true. Out of two possible answers i.e. option (a) and (b) option (b) is correct as the statement 2 is not a correct explanation of statement 1.
For a molecule to be optically active it should not possess alternate axis of symmetry.

Statement-1 : [Fe(H2O)5NO]SO4 is paramagnetic. and

Statement-2 : The Fe in [Fe(H2O)5NO]SO4 has three unpaired electrons.

Detailed Solution: Question 13

In [Fe(H2O)5NO] SO4, Let the oxidation state of Fe be x. Then for [Fe(H2O)5 NO]2–,
x + 1 = + 2 or x = + 2 – 1 = + 1
Hence in this complex the oxidation state of Fe is + 1 Electronic configuration of Fe+ can be represented as Fe+ = 1s22s22p63s23p63d7. This unexpected configuration is due to presence of strong ligand field.
Due to which 1 electron from 4s1 gets shifted to 3d– orbitals.
The 3d7 electrons in five 3d– orbitals can be shown as

In it we find 3 unpaired electrons.
Because of the presence of unpaired electrons the complex is paramagnetic i.e. statement 1 is true.

As is clear from above there are three unpaired electrons in this complex i.e. statement 2 is true.
Since paramagnetic behaviour is due to presence of unpaired electrons in it so statement 2 is correct explanation of statement 1.
In view of the above facts the correct answer is option (a)
