Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Both alcohols and phenols are acidic in nature, but phenols are more acidic than alcohols. Acidic strength of alcohols mainly depends upon the inductive effect. Acidic strength of phenols depends upon a combination of both inductive effect and resonance effects of the substituent and its position on the benzene ring. Electron withdrawing groups increases the acidic strength of phenols whereas electron donating groups decreases the acidic strength of phenols. Phenol is a weaker acid than carboxylic acid.
The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most appropriate answer:
  1. Phenols are highly acidic as compare to alcohols due to:
  1. The higher molecular mass of phenols.
  2. The stronger hydrogen bonds in phenols.
  3. Alkoxide ion is a strong conjugate base.
  4. Phenoxide ion is resonance stabilised.
  1. The correct order of acidic strength among the following is:
  1. $(III) > (IV) > (II) > (I)$
  2. $(IV) > (III) > (I) > (II)$
  3. $(IV) > (III) > (II) > (I)$
  4. $(I) > (II) > (IV) > (III)$
  1. The correct decreasing order of $pK_a$ value is:
  1. $II > IV > I > III$
  2. $IV > II > III > I$
  3. $II I> II > IV > I$
  4. $IV > I > II > III$
  1. The compound that does not liberate $CO_2,$ on treatment with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution is:
  1. Benzoic acid.
  2. Benzenesulphonic acid.
  3. Salicylic acid.
  4. Carbolic acid.
  1. Most acidic amongst the following is:

Answer

  1. $(d)$ Phenoxide ion is resonance stabilised.
  2. $(b)\  (IV) > (III) > (I) > (II)$
The order of acidic strength is,
  1. $(a)\ II > IV > I > III$
Weaker acids have higher $\ce{pK_a. - OCH_3}$ at meta-position exerts only $- I$ effect, hence increases the acidity.
$- I$ effect order : $- \ce{NO_2 > - OCH_3 > - Cl}.$
$- CH_3$ has $+ I$ effect.
So, order is $(a).$
  1. $(d)$ Carbolic acid.
Phenol $($Carbolic acid$)$ is a weaker acid than carbonic acid $\ce{(H_2CO_3)}$ and does not liberate $\ce{CO_2}$ on treatment with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution.
  1. $(c)$

$- NO_2$ exhibits both $- I$ and $- R$ influence to stabilise the corresponding phenoxide.
ln ortho derivative, intermolecular $H -$ bonding lowers the acidity.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
To explain bonding in coordination compounds various theories were proposed. One of the important theory was valence bond theory. According to that, the central metal ion in the complex makes available a number of empty orbitals for the formation of coordination bonds with suitable ligands. The appropriate atomic orbitals of the metal hybridise to give a set of equivalent orbitals of definite geometry.
The $d-$orbitals involved in the hybridisation may be either inner $d-$orbitals i.e.$, (n - 1)d$ or outer $d-$orbitals i.e.$, nd.$
For example, $Co^{3+}$ forms both inner orbital and outer orbital complexes, with ammonia it forms $[\ce{Co(NH3)6]^{3+}}$ and with fluorine it forms $[\ce{CoF6]^{3-}}$ complex ion.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Arrangement of ligands in order of their ability to cause splitting $(\Delta)$ is called spectrochemical series. Ligands which cause large splitting $($large $\Delta)$ are called strong field ligands while those which cause small splitting $($small $\Delta)$ are called weak field ligands. When strong field ligands approach metal atom/ ion, the value of $\Delta_0$ is large, so that electrons are forced to get paired up in lower energy $t_{2g}$ orbitals. Hence, a low$-$spin complex is resulted from strong field ligand. When weak field ligands approach metal atom/ ion, the value of $\Delta_0$ is small, so that electrons enter high energy egorbitals rather than pairing in low energy $t_{2g}$ orbitals. Hence, a high$-$spin complex is resulted from weak field ligands. Strong field ligands have tendency to form inner orbital complexes by forcing the electrons to pair up. Whereas weak field ligands have tendency to form outer orbital complex because inner electrons generally do not pair up.

The potential of each electrode is known as electrode potential. Standard electrode potential is the potential when concentration of each species taking part in electrode reaction is unity and the reaction is taking place at $298K$. By convention, the standard electrode potential of hydrogen $\text{(SHE)}$ is $0.0V$. The electrode potential value for each electrode process is a measure of relative tendency of the active species in the process to remain in the oxidised/ reduced form. The negative electrode potential means that the redox couple is stronger reducing agent than $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. A positive electrode potential means that the redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than the $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. Metals which have higher positive value of standard reduction potential form the oxides of greater thermal stability. In these questions $(Q$.

Reason : The electrode potential values are generally determined with respect to $\text{SHE}$.
