16
Q

Show properties of O2.

A

Colourless, odourless
Liquifying temp. - 90K
Melting/Freezing temp - 55K
3 stable isotopes - O16, O17,O18
O2 - Paramagnetic

17
Q

Show some metal oxides with a high oxidation number being acidic.

A

Mn2O7
CrO3
V2O5

18
Q

Show preparation of ozone.

A

Steam of oxygen is passed through silent electric discharge
Conversion of O2 to O3 - is only 10%
O2 ➡️ O3 (ozonised oxygen) ∆H = +ve
If more than 10% ozone is required, a battery of ozoniser is used. Pure ozone is condensed in a vessel surrounded by liq.O2.

19
Q

Mention Properties of ozone.

A

Pure O3, pale blue gas, dark blue liq., violet black solid
O3 - thermodynamically unstable
O3 ➡️ O2
∆H = -ve
∆S = +ve
∆G = -ve (spontaneous reaction)

20
Q

Show depletion of ozone layer.

A

NO is emitted from supersonic jet aeroplane deplete ozone layer
NO + O3 ➡️ NO2 + O2
Use of freons deplete ozone layer

21
Q

Describe allotropes of sulphur.

A

Rhombic Sulphur (yellow)
Alpha sulphur (below 369)
Stable at room temp.
Alpha sulphur stable below 369K
Monoclinic sulphur (colourless)
Beta sulphur stable above 369K
At 369K both Alpha and beta sulphur stable.

22
Q

What is Alpha sulphur.

A

Roll sulphur + CS2 ➡️ Alpha sulphur
Insoluble in water
Partly dissolve in benzene, alcohol and ether
Soluble in CS2

23
Q

What is beta sulphur.

A

Soluble in CS2
Melting Alpha sulphur in a dish and cooling till crust is formed.
Two holes are made in the crust and the remaining liquid is poured out.
On removing crust needle shape beta sulphur is formed.

24
Q

Describe structure of Alpha and beta sulphur.

A

Both Alpha and beta sulphur are S8 molecules - Crown shape
S6 molecule - chair form
