Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: The amines are basic in nature due to the presence of a lone pair of electron on $N-$atom of the $-NH_2$ group, which it can donate to electron deficient compounds. Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than $NH_3$ because of the $+I$ effect of the alkyl groups. Greater the number of alkyl groups attached to $N-$atom, higher is the electron density on it and more will be the basicity. Thus, the order of basic nature of amines is expected to be $3^\circ > 2^\circ > 1^\circ$ , however the observed order is $2^\circ > 1^\circ > 3^\circ $. This is explained on the basis of crowding on N-atom of the amine by alkyl groups which hinders the approach and bonding by a proton, consequently, the electron pair which is present on N is unavailable for donation and hence $3^\circ$ amines are the weakest bases. Aromatic amines are weaker bases than ammonia and aliphatic amines. Electron-donating groups such as $-CH_3, -OCH_3,$ etc. increase the basicity while electron-withdrawing substitutes such as $-NO_2, -CN,$ halogens, etc. decrease the basicity of amines. The effect of these substituents is more at p than at m-positions. The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most appropriate answer:
  1. Which one of the following is the strongest base in aqueous solution?
  1. Methyl amine.
  2. Tri methyl amine.

Answer

  1. (d) Dimethyl amine.
Explanation:
The increasing order of basicity of the given compounds is $(CH_3)_2NH > CH_3NH_2 > (CH_3)_3N > C_6H_5NH_2.$ Due to the +I effect of alkyl groups, the electron density on nitrogen increases and thus, the availability of the lone pair of electrons to proton increases and hence, the basicity of amines also increases. So, aliphatic amines are more basic than aniline. ln case of tertiary amine $(CH_3)_3N,$ the covering of alkyl groups over nitrogen atom from all sides makes the approach and bonding by a proton relatively difficult, hence the basicity decreases. Electron withdrawing groups decrease electron density on nitrogen atom and thereby decreasing basicity.
  1. (d) o-toluidine < aniline < m-toluidine
Explanation:
In general, electron donating $( +R)$ group which when present on benzene ring $(-NH_2, -OR, -R, etc.)$ at the para position increases the basicity of aniline.
Ortho substituted anilines are weaker bases than aniline due to ortho effect.
  1. (d) $(C_2H_5)_2NH > (C_2H_5)_3N > C_2H_5NH_2 > NH_3$
Explanation:
In case of ethylamines, the combined effect of (c) inductive effect, steric effect and salvation effect gives the order of basic strength as
$(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_2\text{NH}>(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_3\text{N}>\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2>\text{NH}_3\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (2^\circ)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (3^\circ)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (1^\circ)$
  1. (b) $(CH_3)_3N > (CH_3)_2NH > CH_3NH_2$
Explanation:
In non-aqueous solvents the basic strength of alkyl amines follows the order:
tertiary amines> secondary amines> primary amines.
  1. (c) Methylamine is a stronger base than ammonia.
Explanation:
Methyl amine is stronger base than ammonia due to electron releasing inductive effect of methyl group.

Ozone is an unstable, dark blue diamagnetic gas. It absorbs the UV radiation strongly, thus protecting the people on earth from the harmful UV-radiation from the sun. The use of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) in aerosol and refrigerators and their subsequent escape into the atmosphere, is blamed for making holes in the ozone layer over the Antarctica. Ozone acts as a strong oxidising agent in acidic and alkaline medium. for this property, ozone is used as a germicide and disinfectant for sterilizing water. It is also used in laboratory for the ozonolysis of organic compounds and in industry for the manufacture of potassium permanganate, artificial silk, etc.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
In ideally ionic structures, the coordination numbers of the ions are determined by electrostatic considerations. Cations surround themselves with as many anions as possible, and vice versa. This maximizes the attractions between neighbouring ions of opposite charge and hence maximizes the lattice energy of the crystal. This requirement led to the formulation of the radius ratio rule for ionic structures, in which the ions and the structure adopted for a particular compound depend on the relative sizes of the ions. Thus, for the stable ionic crystalline structures, there is definite radius ratio limit for a cation to fit perfectly in the lattice of anions, called radius ratio rule. This depends upon the ratio of radii of two types of ions $\frac{\text{r}_+}{r}$This ratio for coordination numbers $3, 4, 6$ and $8$ are respectively $0.155 - 0.225, 0.225 - 0.414, 0.414 - 0.732$ and $0.732 - 1.000$.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
If some solute is added to a solvent, the boiling point of solution increases. This is known as elevation in baiting point.
$\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}=\text{K}_\text{b}\text{m}$ where, $K_b =$ Molal elevation constant,
$\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}\propto\text{m}$

where, $M =$ Molar mass of solvent,
$\Delta\text{vap}$ $H = $Enthalpy of vaporisation,
Molar mass can also be calculated using elevation in boiling point.
$\text{M}_\text{B}=\frac{\text{K}_\text{B}\times\text{W}_\text{B}\times1000}{\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}\times\text{W}_\text{A}}$

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 (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.
