Answer the following questions:
Name two elements of 3d series for which the third ionisation enthalpies are quite high.
Out of KMnO$_4$ and K$_2$MnO$_4$, which one is paramagnetic and why?
Write any one consequence of lanthanoid contraction.
How do you prepare potassium manganate from pyrolusite ore?
Why is the ability of oxygen more than fluorine to stabilise higher oxidation states of transition metals?
Write IUPAC names of the following compounds and classify them into primary, secondary and tertiary amines.
(i) (CH3 )2CHNH2 (ii) CH3 (CH2 )2NH2 (iii) CH3NHCH(CH3 )2
(iv) (CH3 )3CNH2 (v) C6H5NHCH3 (vi) (CH3CH2 )2NCH3 (vii) m–BrC6H4NH2
Give one chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds.
(i) Methylamine and dimethylamine
(ii) Secondary and tertiary amines
(iii) Ethylamine and aniline
(iv) Aniline and benzylamine
(v) Aniline and N-methylaniline
Account for the following:
(i) pKb of aniline is more than that of methylamine.
(ii) Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is not.
(iii) Methylamine in water reacts with ferric chloride to precipitate hydrated ferric oxide.
(iv) Although amino group is o– and p– directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions, aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline.
(v) Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction.
(vi) Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines. (vii) Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is preferred for synthesising primary amines.
Write down the electronic configuration of:
(i) Cr3+ (iii) Cu+ (v) Co2+ (vii) Mn2+
(ii) Pm3+ (iv) Ce4+ (vi) Lu2+ (viii) Th4+
Why are Mn2+ compounds more stable than Fe2+ towards oxidation to their +3 state?
What may be the stable oxidation state of the transition element with the following d electron configurations in the ground state of their atoms : 3d3 ,3d5 ,3d8 and 3d4?
