[The following questions are case based questions and carries 4 marks each. Read the passage and
answer the questions that follow:]

Q29 Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: -
A device used to convert the energy evolved in a redox reaction into electrical energy is called an

electrochemical Cell. These devices are also called galvanic cells or voltaic cells, after the names of Luigi
Galvani (1780) and alessandro Volta (1800) who were the first to perform experiments on the conversion
of chemical energy into electrical energy. How exactly the chemical energy of a redox reaction is
converted into electrical energy can be seen from the following example: Redox reactionbetween Zn and
CuSO4.The reaction is represented as: Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s) It may also be written in
ionic form as: Zn + Cu+2 → Zn+2 + Cu

The reaction essentially comprises of two half reactions: one for reduction and the other for oxidation.

Zn(s) → Zn+2 (aq) + 2e-

Cu+2 (aq) + 2e- → Cu(s)

Thus, Zn is oxidized to Zn+2 in the oxidation half reaction and Cu+2 is reduced toCu in the reduction half
reaction. The overall reaction can be obtained by adding the two half reactions.

(c) Give the construction and working of Dry cell.

OR

Calculate EMF of the following cell: Zn(s)/Zn2+(0.1M)//Ag+(0.01M)/Ag

Given E°Zn2+/Zn = − 0.76 V , E°Ag+/Ag = − 0.8 V

Q30 Valence bond theory considers the bonding between the metal ion and the ligands as purely
covalent. On the other hand, crystal field theory considers the metal-ligand bond to be ionic arising from
electrostatic interaction between the metal ion and the ligands. In coordination compounds, the
interaction between the ligand and the metal ion causes the five d-orbitals to split-up. This is called
crystal field splitting and the energy difference between the two sets of energy level is called crystal field
splitting energy. The crystal field splitting energy (Δo) depends upon the nature of the ligand. The actual
configuration of complexes is divided by the relative values of Δo and P (pairing energy)
~ If Δo< P, then complex will be high spin.

~ If Δo> P, then complex will be low spin.

Arrangement of ligands in order of their ability to cause splitting Δ is called spectrochemical series.
Ligands which cause large splitting (large Δ) are called strong field ligands while those which cause small
splitting (small Δ) are called weak field ligands. When strong field ligands approach metal atom/ion, the
value of Δo is large, so that electrons are forced to get paired up in lower energy t2g orbitals. Hence, a
low-spin complex is resulted from strong field ligand. When weak field ligands approach metal atom/ion,
the value of Δo is small, so that electrons enter high energy eg orbitals rather than pairing in low energy
t2g orbitals. Hence, a high-spin complex is resulted from weak field ligands. Strong field ligands have
tendency to form inner orbital complexes by forcing the electrons to pair up. Whereas weak field ligands
have tendency to form outer orbital complex because inner electrons generally do not pair up.
