Difference between strong and weak field ligands ?

Pratyay Islam 2nd Apr, 2020

Hello , Difference between strong and weak field ligands are as follows :

Strong Field Ligands :

  • These ligands have more field strength
  • These ligands may cause rearrangement of d electrons in metal
  • They generally form low spin or inner orbital complexes
  • For these ligands splitting energy > pairing energy

Pratyay Islam 2nd Apr, 2020

Hello,

Limitations of Valence bond theory:

This theory has a number of limitations which are as follows :

  • Has a number of assumptions.
  • Does not give quatitative interpretation of magnetic data
  • Does not explain the colour shown by complexes
  • Could not predict tetrahedral or squareplanar shape for coordination number 4

Explain the shape of BF3 using VSEPR theory ?

Pratyay Islam 2nd Apr, 2020

Hello ,

The shape of BF3 is bent T shaped and it can be explained using VSEPR theory as shown below :

  • The central atom Br has seven electrons in valence shell
  • There are three bond pairs and two lone pairs

Explanation of brown ring chemical test ?

Pratyay Islam 2nd Apr, 2020

Hello ,

Brown ring test :

In brown ring test dilute FeSO4 is addedto an aqueous solution of nitrate ion.Concentrated H2SO4 is then added along the sided of the test tube. A brown ring is observed at the interface between the solution and H2SO4 layers indicates the presence of nitrate

Give the Thermal stability orders of Group 1 and Group 2 carbonates .

Pratyay Islam 26th Mar, 2020

THERMAL Stability of alkaline metal carbonates and Alkaline earth metal carbonates

Group 2 -BeCO3<MgCO3<CaCO3 <SrCO3<BaCO3

Group 1 -Li2CO3<Na2CO3<KCO3<Rb2CO3<Cs2CO3


Li2CO3 Decomposes easily on heating to give CO2

Li2CO3 → Li2O + CO2

All other Group 1 elements can be easily decomposed.

GROUP 2 elements can be decomposed : Only more heat

Methods of Preparation of H2O2 ?

Pratyay Islam 19th Mar, 2020

Hello Student ,

H2O2 or oxygenated water can be prepared in the following ways : -

  1. Merk's Method - Na2O2 + H2SO4(Ice Cold, 20%) = Na2SO4 + H2O2
  2. Laboratory Method - 3[BaO2.8H2O] + 2H3PO4 = Ba3(PO4)2 +  3H2O2 + 24H2O
  3. Electrolysis of Cold 50% H2SO4
  4. Other - BaO2.8H2O + H2O
