  • B
    45
  • C
    60
  • D
    15
Answer
Correct option: A.
30
(A) 30
Explanation: Moles of ' C ' $= n _{ CO _2}=\frac{1.46}{44}=0.033$
Moles of ' C ' $= W _{ C }=0.033 \times 12$
Moles of 'H' $=2 \times n _{ H _2 O }=2 \times \frac{0.567}{18}=0.063$
Mass of 'H' $=0.0063$
Mass of Oxygen $( O )=1-\left( W _{ C }+ W _{ H }\right)$
$=1-(0.033 \times 12+0.063 \times 1)=0.541 gm$
Moles of ' O ' $=\frac{0.541}{16}=0.033$

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I): In octahedral complexes, when $\Delta_{ o }$ < P high spin complexes are formed. When $\Delta_{ o }$ > P low spin complexes are formed.
Statement (II): In tetrahedral complexes because of $\Delta_{ t }$ <P, low spin complexes are rarely formed. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Answer
Correct option: D.
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
(D) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Explanation: In octahedral complex (CN = 6)
If $\Delta_0$ <P.E., then high spin complexes are formed
If $\Delta_0$ > P.E., then low spin complexes are formed
But in tetrahedral complex (CN = 4)
$\Delta_t$ < P.E., then mainly high spin complexes are formed and rarely low spin complexes are formed.

    1400 mm Hg, A
  • B
    1400 mm Hg, B
  • C
    600 mm Hg, B
  • 600 mm Hg, A
Answer
Correct option: D.
600 mm Hg, A
(D) 600 mm Hg, A
