Question

Transition metals and their many compounds act as good catalyst. Give reason.

✓

Answer

a. The ability of transition metal ion to pass easily from one oxidation state to another and thus providing a new path to reaction with lower activation energy.
b. The surface of transition metal acts as very good adsorbent and thus provides increased concentration of reactants on their surface causing the reaction to occur.

The boiling point elevation and the freezing point depression of solutions have a number of practical applications. Ethylene glycol $(CH_2OH$-$CH_2OH)$ is used in automobile radiators as an antifreeze because it lowers the freezing point of the coolant. The same substance also helps to prevent the radiator coolant from boiling away by elevating the boiling point. Ethylene glycol has a low vapour pressure. We can also use glycerol as an antifreeze. In order for boiling point elevation to occur, the solute must be non$-$volatile, but no such restriction applies to freezing point depression. For example, methanol $(CH_3OH),$ a fairly volatile liquid that boils only at $65^\circ C$ is sometimes used as antifreeze in automobile radiators.
$i.$ Out of the $CH_3OH$ and $C_6H_{12}O_6,$ which is a better reagent for depression in freezing point but not for elevation in boiling point?
$ii.$ Will the depression in freezing point be same or different, if $0.1 \ moles$ of sugar or $0.1 \ moles$ of glucose is dissolved in $1 L$ of water?
$iii. 124 g$ each of the two reagents glycerol and glycol are added in $5 \ kg$ water of the radiators in the two cars. Which one is better for a car? Justify your answer.
$OR$
$iiii.$ If the cost of glycerol, glycol and methanol are the same, then what would be the sequence of the economy to use these compounds as antifreeze?

Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow:
The actinoids include the fourteen elements from Th to$ Lr.$ The actinoids are radioactive elements and the earlier members have relatively long half$-$lives, the latter ones have half$-$life values ranging from a day to $3$ minutes for lawrencium. The latter members could be prepared only in nanogram quantities. Actinoids show a greater range of oxidation states. The elements, in the first half of the series frequently exhibit higher oxidation states. The actinoids resemble the lanthanoids in having more compounds in $+3$ state than in the $+4$ state. All the actinoids are believed to have the electronic configuration of $7s^2$ and variable occupancy of the $5f$ and $6d$ subshells. The magnetic properties of the actinoids are more complex than those of the lanthanoids. The variation in the magnetic susceptibility of the actinoids with the number of unpaired $5f$ electrons is roughly parallel to the corresponding results for the lanthanoid.
$i.$ Actinoid contraction is greater from element to element than lanthanoid contraction. Why?
$ii.$ Actinoids show irregularities in their electronic configuration. Justify?
$iii.$ The actinoid metals are all silvery in appearance but display a variety of structures than lanthanoid give reason.
$OR$
$iii.$ The magnetic properties of the actinoids are more complex than those of the lanthanoids. Why?

Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow:
The solutions which boil at a constant temperature like a pure liquid and possess the same composition in liquid, as well as vapour state are called azeotropes. The components of azeotropes cannot be separated by fractional distillation. Only non-ideal solutions form azeotropes. Solutions with negative deviation form maximum boiling azeotrope and the solutions with positive deviation form minimum boiling azeotrope. The boiling point of azeotrope is never equal to the boiling points of any of the components of the azeotrope.
i. The azeotropic solutions of two miscible liquids show what type of deviation from Raoult's law?
ii. The azeotropic mixture of water & HCI boils at 108.5°C. What type of deviation is shown by the solution?
Does this solution behave as ideal or non-ideal?
iii. Do ideal solutions form azeotropes?
