MCQ
$\mu = \sqrt{15}$ is true for the pair :-
- ✓$Co^{+2}, Cr^{+3}$
- B$Fe^{+2}, Cr^{+3}$
- C$Fe^{+3}, Fe^{+2}$
- D$Mn^{+2} , Fe^{+2}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$Co^{+2}, Cr^{+3}$
a
The electronic configuration of $\mathrm{Co}^{2+}$ is; $[\mathrm{Ar}] 4 \mathrm{s}^{0} 3 \mathrm{d}^{7}$
The electronic configuration of $\mathrm{Co}^{2+}$ is; $[\mathrm{Ar}] 4 \mathrm{s}^{0} 3 \mathrm{d}^{7}$
Hence there are three unpaired electrons in $\mathrm{Co}^{2+}$ Now the elctronic configuration of $\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}$ is; $[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{d}^{3}$
Hence there are 3 unpaired electrons in $\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}$ We know magnetic moment $\mu=\sqrt{(\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+2)} \$ \$$
where n is number of unpaired electrons.
So when $n=3$ $\mu=\sqrt{(3(3+2)}=\sqrt{15}$
Hence option A is correct answer.

The conductance of a $0.0015 \mathrm{M}$ aqueous solution of a weak monobasic acid was determined by using a conductivity cell consisting of platinized $\mathrm{Pt}$ electrodes. The distance between the electrodes is $120 \mathrm{~cm}$ with an area of cross section of $1 \mathrm{~cm}^2$. The conductance of this solution was found to be $5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~S}$. The $\mathrm{pH}$ of the solution is $4$ . The value of limiting molar conductivity $\left(\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^0\right)$ of this weak monobasic acid in aqueous solution is $\mathrm{Z} \times 10^2 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.

One mole of a monatomic ideal gas undergoes four thermodynamic processes as shown schematically in the $PV$-diagram below. Among these four processes, one is isobaric, one is isochoric, one is isothermal and one is adiabatic. Match the processes mentioned in List-$I$ with the corresponding statements in List-$II$.
