Question 25.
All ores are minerals, but all minerals are not ores. Explain.
Answer:
A naturally occurring substance obtained by mining which contains the metal in free state or in the form of compounds is called a mineral. In most of the minerals, the metal of interest is present only in small amounts and some of them contains a reasonable percentage of metal. Such minerals that – contains a high percentage of metal, from which it can be extracted conveniently and economically are called ores. Hence all ores are minerals but all minerals are not ores.

Question 26.
Discuss the Commercial method to prepare Nitric acid.
[OR]
How will you prepare nitric acid by Ostwald’s process?
Answer:
Nitric acid prepared in large scales using Ostwald’s process. In this method ammonia from Haber’s process is mixed about 10 times of air. This mixture is preheated and passed into the catalyst chamber where they come in contact with platinum gauze. The temperature rises to about 1275 K and the metallic gauze brings about the rapid catalytic oxidation of ammonia resulting in the formation of NO, which then oxidised to nitrogen dioxide.

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O + 120 kJ
2NO + O₂ → 2NO₂

The nitrogen dioxide produced is passed through a series of adsorption towers. It reacts with water to give nitric acid. Nitric acid formed is bleached by blowing air.

6NO₂ + 3H₂O → 4HNO₃ + 2NO + H₂O

Question 27.
Actinoid contraction is greater from element to element than the lanthanoid contraction, why?
Answer:

• Actinoid contraction is greater from element to element than lanthanoid cintraction. The 5f orbitals in Actinoids have a very poorer shielding effect than 4f orbitals in lanthanoids.
• Thus, the effective nuclear charge experienced by electron in valence shells in case of actinoids is much more than that experienced by lanthanoids.
• In actinoids, electrons are shielded by 5d, 4f, 4d and 3d whereas in lanthanoids, electrons are shielded by 4d, 4f only. ,
• Hence, the size contraction in actinoids is greater as compared to that in lanthanoids.

Question 31.
What are the characteristics of adsorption?
Answer:

• Adsorption can occur in all interfacial faces i.e., the adsorption can occur in between gas – solid, liquid – solid, liquid – liquid, solid – solid and gas – liquid. .
• Adsorption is always accompanied by decrease in free energy. When AG reaches zero, the equilibrium is attained.
• Adsorption is a spontaneous process.
• When molecules are getting adsorbed, there is always decrease in randomness of the molecules.
  ∆G = ∆H – T ∆S where ∆G = change in free energy
  ∆H = change in enthalpy
  ∆S = change in entropy
  .’. ∆H = ∆G + T∆S
• Adsorption is exothermic and it is a quick process.
• If simultaneous adsorption and absorption take place, it is termed as ‘sorption’ and sorption of gases on metal surface is called occlusion.

(ii)

• In transition series, as we move down from Ti to Zn, the standard reduction potential E° _M3+/M2+value is approaching towards less negative value and copper has a positive reduction potential, i.e. elemental copper is more stable than Cu²⁺
• E°_M3+/M2+ value for manganese and zinc are more negative than regular trend. It is due to extra stability arises due to the half filled d⁵ configuration in Mn²⁺ and completely filled d¹⁰ configuration in Zn²⁺.
• The standard electrode potential for the M³⁺ /M²⁺ half cell gives’the relative stability between M³⁺ and M²⁺.
• The high reduction potential of Mn³⁺ / Mn²⁺ indicates Mn²⁺ is more stable than Mn³⁺.
• For Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ the reduction potential is 0.77 V, and this low value indicates that both Fe³⁺ and Fe²⁺ can exist under normal condition.
• Mn³⁺ has a 3d⁴ configuration while that of Mn²⁺ is 3d⁵. The extra stability associated with a half filled d sub-shell makes the reduction of Mn³⁺ very feasible [E° = +1.5 IV]

[OR]
(b) (i) Calculate the magnetic moment of Ti³⁺ and V⁴⁺. (2)
(ii) Draw all possible geometrical isomers of the complex [CO(en)₂Cl₂]⁺ and identify the optically active isomer. (3)
Answer:
(a) (i) Electrolytic process: When a solution of brine (NaCl) is electrolysed, Na⁺ and Cl^– ions are formed. Na⁺ ion reacts with OH^– ions of water and forms sodium hydroxide.

Hydrogen and chlorine are liberated as gases.

Deacon’s process: In this process a mixture of air and hydrochloric acid is passed up a chamber containing a number of shelves, pumice stones soaked in cuprous chloride are placed. Hot gases at about 723 K are passed through a jacket that surrounds the chamber.

The chlorine obtained by this method is dilute and is employed for the manufacture of bleaching powder. The catalysed reaction is given below,

(ii) In p-block elements, as we go down the group, two electrons present in the valence s-orbital become inert and are not available for bonding (only p-orbital involves chemical bonding). This is called inert pair effect.

[OR]

(b) (i) Ti (Z = 22) Ti³⁺3d¹
V (Z = 23) V⁴⁺ 3d¹
.’. \(\mu=\sqrt{1(1+2)}=\sqrt{3}=1.73 \mu_{\mathrm{B}}\) So they are paramagnetic.

In terms of Bronsted – Lowry theory, identify its conjugate base.
(ii) IS it possible to store copper sulphate in an iron vessel for a long time?
Given \(\mathbf{E}_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} \mathrm{Cu}}^{\circ}=\mathbf{0 . 3 4 V}\) and \(\mathbf{E}_{\mathbf{F e}^{2+} \mathbf{F e}}^{s}=+\mathbf{0 . 4 4 V}\)
Answer:
(a) (i) Number of atoms in a fcc unit cell,

(ii) Nature and state of the reactant:
We know that a chemical reaction involves breaking of certain existing bonds of the reactant and forming new bonds which lead to the product. The net energy involved in this process is dependent on the nature of the reactant and hence the rates are different for different reactants.
Let us compare the following two reactions that we carried out in volumetric analysis.

1. Redox reaction between ferrous ammonium sulphate (FAS) and KMnO₄
2. Redox reaction between oxalic acid and KMnO₄

The oxidation of oxalate ion by KMnO₄ is relatively slow compared to the reaction between KMnO₄ and Fe²⁺ . In fact heating is required for the reaction between KMnO₄ and Oxalate ion and is carried out at around 60°C.

The physical state of the reactant also plays an important role to influence the rate of reactions. Gas phase reactions are faster as compared to the reactions involving solid or liquid reactants. For example, reaction of sodium metal with iodine vapours is faster than the reaction between solid sodium and solid iodine. Let us consider another example that we carried out in inorganic qualitative analysis of lead salts. If we mix the aqueous solution of colorless potassium iodide with the colorless solution of lead nitrate, precipitation of yellow lead iodide take place instantaneously, whereas if we mix the solid lead nitrate with solid potassium iodide, yellow coloration will appear slowly.

[OR]

(b) (i) HClO₄ ⇌ H⁺ + ClO₄^–

According to Lowry – Bronsted concept, a strong acid has weak conjugate base and a weak acid has a strong conjugate base.

Let us consider the stabilities of the conjugate bases ClO₄^– , CIO₃^– , ClO₂^– and CIO^– formed from these acid HClO₄, HClO₃ , HClO₂, HOCl respectively. These anions are stabilized to greater extent, it has lesser attraction for proton and therefore, will behave as weak base. Consequently the corresponding acid will be strongest because weak conjugate base has strong acid and strong conjugate base has weak acid.

The charge stabilization increases in the order, ClO^– < ClO^–₂ < ClO^–₃ < CIO^–₄ . This means ClO^–₄ will have maximum stability and therefore will have minimum attraction for H⁺. Thus ClO^–₄ will be weakest base and its conjugate acid HClO₄ is the strongest acid.

ClO^–₄ is the conjugate base of the acid HClO₄.

(ii) E⁰_cell = E⁰_ox + E⁰_red = 0.44 V +0.34 V = 0.78 V
These +ve E⁰_cell values shows that iron will oxidise and copper will get reduced i.e., the vessel will dissolve. Hence it is not possible to store copper sulphate in an iron vessel.

(a) (i) Formation of water due to the reaction of H₂ and O₂ in the presence of Cu can be given as

(ii) O-nitro phenol is slightly soluble in water and more volatile due to intra molecular hydrogen bonding, whereas P-nitro phenol is more soluble in water and less volatile due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

[OR]

(b)

(ii) Reducing sugars: Those carbonhydrates which contain free aldehyde or ketonic group and reduces Fehling’s solution and Tollen’s reagent are called reducing sugars. All monosacchaides whether aldose or ketone are reducing sugars.

Non-reducing sugars: Cabohydrates which do not reduce Tollen’s reagent and Fehling’s solution are called non-reducing sugars. Example Sucrose. They do not have free aldehyde group.

Identify A to D. (5)
[OR]

(b) Explain the mechanism of cleansing action of soaps and detergents.(5)
Answer:

[OR]

(b) Mechanism of cleansing action of soaps and detergents:

• The cleansing action of both soaps and detergents from their ability to lower the surface tension of water, to emulsify oil or grease and to hold them in a suspension in water.
• This ability is due to the structure of soaps and detergents.
• In water a sodium soap dissolves to form soap anions and sodium cations. For example, the following chemical equation shows the ionisation of sodium palmitate.
  
• A soap anion consists of a long hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylate group on one end. The hydrocarbon chain, which is hydrophobic, is soluble in oils or grease. The ionic part is the carboxylate group which is hydrophilic, is soluble in water.
  
• In water, detergent dissolves to form detergent anions and sodium cations. For example the following chemical equations show the ionisation of sodium alkyl sulphate and sodium alkyl benzene sulphate.
  

6. The following explains the cleansing action of a soap or detergent on a piece of cloth with a greasy stain:

• A soap or detergent anion consists of a hydrophobic part and a hydrophilic part.
• Soap or detergent reduces the surface tension of water. Therefore the surface of the cloth is wetted thoroughly.
• The hydrophobic parts of the soap or detergents anions are soluble in grease.
• The hydrophilic parts of the anions are soluble in water.
• Scrubbing or mechanical agitation helps to pull the grease away from the cloth and the
• grease is broken into smaller droplets.
• Repulsion between the droplets causes the droplets to be suspended in water, forming an emulsion.
• Thus the droplets do not coagulate or redeposit on the cloth. Rinsing washes away the droplets.
