Q

why does evaporation cause cooling?

A

Evaporation cause cooling when

HIGH ENERGY MOLECULES leave liquid and LOW ENERGY MOLECULES are left behind

  • the temperature of the liquid falls
  • heat moves from surrounding to liquid
  • then temperature of the surrounding also falls.

salt bridge in voltaic cell function

A

To prevent any net charge accumulation in either beaker by allowing negative ions to leave the RIGHT BEAKER diffuse thru the bridge and enter LEFT BEAKER.

if this diffusional change does not occur the net charge

accumulating in the beakers would immediately stop the flow of electrons and OXIDATION REDUCTION REACTION WOULD STOP.

Q

why necessary to mention physical states of reactants and products in thermo chemical eq of a reaction

A

the substances exist because they possess energy.
when a substance changes it also changes its physical state then its energy is also changed.

so in thermochemical reactions it is important to mention physical states of a reaction and products.

Q

molality is independent but molarity depends upon temperature why?

A

In molal solutions the mass of the substance and that of the solute are also fixed. not temperature dependent.

In molar solutions we have vol of solutions
vol of a liquid is temperature dependent

SO MOLALITY IS NOT INFLUENCED BY TEMP BUT MOLARITY DOES CHANGE

40
Q

Describe heat sublimation is greater than heat of vapourization.

A

In sublimation a solid substance is to be directly converted into vapours without melting, high amount of energy is required to overcome inter-molecular forces. on the other hand
vapourization is comparatively low because a liquid substance is to be converted into vapours form. thats why

(like a process is needed)

41

creates larger positive charge in nucleus than negative charge
in electron cloud.
causing electron cloud to be drawn a lil closer to nucleus as an ion.
non metal atomic radius is actually smaller ionic rad of same element.

50
Q

electron negativity and electron affinity

A

Electron negativity
the tendency of an atom to attract a shared electron pair towards itself .

Electron Affinity
it is the energy released when an electron adds to an empty or partially filled orbital of an isolated gaseous atom in its valence energy level to form an anion having a unit negative charge.

51
Q

2 points of valence bond theory

A
  1. in overlapping orbitals electrons become paired with opposite spin to stabilize them.
  2. the covalent bond is formed due to the overlap of the partially filled atomic orbitals
52
Q

Ionization energy decreases down the group altho nuclear charge decrease.. why?

A

Ionization energy decreases inspite of increase in protons number or nuclear charge.
Due to successive addition of electronic shells as a result valence electrons are placed at distance from the nucleus.

As the force of attraction between the nucleus the outer electron decreases with the increase in distance the electron can be removed more easily.

53
Q

External energy of a system?

A

Chemist is concerned with the detection or identification of the elements

▪︎In quantitative the relative amounts of the elements are determined.

57
Q

Solvent extraction and its laws

A

It is an equilibrium process process and follows the distribution law or partial law.

This law states that the solute distributes itself b/w to immiscible liquids in a constant ratio.

58
Q

why densities of gases are expressed in units of g dm-3 rather than g cm-3? a unit which is used to express the densities of liquid and solids.

A

if gas densities are expressed in g cm-3 the the values will be very small but when it is expressed in g dm-3 then the value of densities become reasonable to be expressed.

59
Q

derive charles law by kinetic eq of gases

A

PV= 2/3 kT
derived:
V=2/3 kT/p = 2k/3p (2k/3p) T

therefore
V/T= k’ (charles’ law)

both cu+ cu- converted into Cu2+ ions and migrate to cathode, pure copper.

in this way Cu anode is purified. impurities left at anode.

71
Q

ionic compound do not show the phenomena of isomerism why?

A

ionic bond is electrostatic. not directional so the compounds do not show the phenomena of isomerism

72
Q

sigma bond is stronger than pi-bond. why?

A

sigma bond is formed by HEAD TO HEAD approach and electronic cloud density is symmetrically distributed along the bond
pi bond is formed by parallel overlapping of two half-filled p-orbitals.
