Transition metal oxides are generally formed by the reaction of metals with oxygen at high temperatures. The highest oxidation number in the oxides coincides with the group number. In vanadium, there is a gradual change from the basic $V_2O_3$ to less basic $V_2O_4$ and to amphoteric $V_2O_5. V_2O_4$ dissolves in acids to give $VO^{2+}$ salts. Potassium dichromate is a very important chemical used in the leather industry and as an oxidant for the preparation of many azo compounds. Dichromates are generally prepared from chromate. Sodium dichromate is more soluble than potassium dichromate. The latter is, therefore, prepared by treating the solution of sodium dichromate with potassium chloride. Sodium and potassium dichromates are strong oxidising agents; sodium salt has a greater solubility in water and is extensively used as an oxidising agent in organic chemistry. Potassium dichromate is used as a primary standard in volumetric analysis.

ii. A transition metal exhibits highest oxidation state ih oxides and fluorides. Give reason.

View full solution →Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Many chemical and biological processes depend on osmosis, the selective passage of solvent molecules through the porous membrane from a dilute solution to a more concentrated one. The osmotic pressure $\pi$ depends on molar concentration of the solution ($\pi$ = CRT). If two solutions are of equal solute concentration and, hence, have the same osmotic pressure, they are said to be isotonic. If two solutions are of unequal osmotic pressures, the more concentrated solution is said to be hypertonic and the more diluted solution is described as hypotonic. Osmosis is the major mechanism, for transporting water upward in the plants. Transpiration is the leaves supports the transport mechanism of water. The osmotic pressure of seawater is about 30 atm; this is the pressure that must be applied to the seawater (separated from pure water using a semi-permeable membrane) to get drinking water.
i. What will happen if a plant cell kept in a hypertonic solution?
ii. Blood cells are isotonic with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. What happens if we place blood cells in a solution containing in 1.2% sodium chloride solution?
iii. What happens when the external pressure applied becomes more than the osmotic pressure of solution?
