Q

Wat is inert pair effect

A

Poor shielding of f and d causes inner electrons to be tightly bound to nucleus and hence low oxidation becomes more stable

Q

How to prepare pure Nitrogen

A

By thermal decomposition of azides (N3- ions)

22
Q

Write reaction for ammonium dichromate ka thermal decomposition to prepare nitrogen

A

(NH4)2Cr2O7——– N2 + Cr2O3 + H20

Ammonium dichromate is a very powerful oxidising agent

23
Q

Test for NH3

A

Using nessler’s reagent
K2[HgI4]

Nh3 with nessler’s reagent and a base forms .. ** iodide of millons base** which is a brown ppt
H2N-Hg-O-Hg-I

24
Q

Prepration of nessler’s reagent

A

HgCL2+2Ki—-Hgi2 +2KCL
! (Excess KI)
!
K2[HgI4]

25
Q

For wat is OSTWALD process used?

A

For industrial preparation of HNO3 (NITRIC ACID) OSTWALD process is used.

Step 1- oxidation of NH3 — NO..
Step 2- oxidation of NO— NO2
Step 3 hydrolysis of
NO2— HNO3 + NO

26
Q

Test for NO3- ions

A

Brown ring test

[Fe(H2O)5(NO)]SO4

Os of fe—- +1
Os of No—- +1 (yhaan NO neutral nhi coz voh apna ek e- fe ko dekar use +1 mein laata)

27
Q

Properties of phosphine gas (PH3)

A

Colourless
Highly poisonous
Rotten fish smell
Very less soluble in water

Explodes in contact with oxidising agents like HNO3 CL2

Aq Solution of ph3 decomposes in light to give red p and h2

It is a weak lewis base

Pure phosphine is non- inflammable but becomes inflammable due to impurities of P2H4(diphosphane) and P4 vapours

28
Q

Thionyl chloride is used in preparation of?

A

Thionyl chloride - SOCL2
Used in preparation of phosphorus trichloride

29
Q

Sulphuryl chloride is used in preparation of?

A

Sulphuryl chloride - SO2CL2 is used in preparation of phosphorus pentachloride

30
Q

Wat is POCL3

A

Phosphoryl chloride. On reaction with water it gives H3PO4 and HCl

31
Q

PCL5 WITH excess water reaction and PCL5 WITH less water reaction

A

Excess water-(more water)
Product - H3PO4 (ORTHOPHOSPHORIC acid) and hcl

Less water-
Product - POCL3 (phosphoryl chloride) and hcl

32
Q

Can PCL5 act as an reducing agent?

A

NO. PCL5 can only act as in oxidising agent coz ye already+5 mein hai

33
Q

Order of electron gain enthalpy for group 16

A

S> Se> Te> Po> O
( Oxygen ki least)
(Sulphur ki maxm) (-ve)

34
Q

Comment on stability of os— +4 and +6

A

Stability of +6 decreases down the group..
Stability of +4 increases down the group

35
Q

Order of mp and bp of hydrides of group 16

A

H2S < H2Se< H2Te< H2O

Hydrides of 16 behave same as 15
Acidic strength increases down the group
