1. Write the Postulates of Bohr’s model of hydrogen atom? Discus the importance of this model to
explain various series of line spectra in hydrogen atom.
Ans. Postulates of Bohr’s atomic model:
i) The electron in hydrogen atom revolves around the nucleus in a fixed circular paths called orbits
ii) Each orbit is associated with definite energy. So these are called energy levels or energy shells.
iii) These energy levels are designated as 1,2,3,4..... or K,L,M,N.... from the side of nucleus.
iv) The electron revolves in a particular orbit the energy of an electron remains constant, Hence these
orbits are called stationary orbits.

v) The angular momentum of an electron is always integral multiple of .

nh
It is given by mvr .

vi) If an electron jumps from one level to another level it may emit or absorb energy.
E E 2 E1 h
If electron jumps from lower orbit to higher orbit it absorbs energy.
If electron jumps from higher orbit to lower orbit then it emits energy.
Bohr’s Explanation to Hydrogen Spectrum :
i) Hydrogen atom has one proton and one electron in the ground state.
ii) By the absorption of 13.56 e.V. energy, electron jumps to the higher energy level which is
unstable. Hence it comes back to ground state by emiting the energy.
iii) The emission of energy may occur in one step or in several steps. Since a sample of hydrogen
contains many atoms several spectral lines are formed.
They are Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett and pfund series.

i) Variation of ionisation energy in IA group: In a group from top to bottom ionisation enthalpy
gradually decreases.
Reason : It is due to increase of atomic radius, increase of screening effect and decrease of
nuclear attraction.

istry 6
ii) Variation of ionisation enthalpy in third period: In a period from left to right, the ionisation
enthalpy gradually increases with some exceptions.
Reason : In a period as atomic size decreases, nuclear attraction on valency electrons increases.
As a result I.E increases.
c) Electro negativity :
p The relative tendency of an atom to attract the shared electron pair towards itself in a hetero
diatomic molecule is called electronegativity.
i) Variation in a group : In a group from top to bottom, electronegativity decreaes.
Reason : It is due to increase in atomic size and screening effect.
ii) Variation in a period: In a period from left to right, electronegativity increases.
Reason : It is due to decrease in atomic size, increase of nuclear charge.
d) Electron gain enthalpy (Electron affinity):
p The amount of energy released when an electron is added to the valence shell of neutral gaseous
atom is called as electron gain enthalpy or electron affinity.

p Second ionization potential : The energy required to remove an electron from unipositive gaseous
ion is called second ionization potential.
M IE 2 M 2 electron
g g
p Second ionization enthalpy is always more than first ionization enthalpy (IE2 > IE1) : It is due to increase
of effective nuclear charge from neutral atom to unipositive ion.
p As the electrons are removing, the effective nuclear charge increases. Hence removal of electrons
become more difficult and requires high ionization enthalpy.
In successive ionization enthalpy values the order is IE1 < IE2 < IE3 ...... IEn
Factors influencing Ionization Enthalpy :
i) Atomic radius or Atomic Size : Larger is the atomic size smaller is the ionization enthalpy. As the
atomic radius increases, the nuclear force of attraction over the valecncy electrons decreases. The
relation is
1
Ionization enthalpy
Atomic size
ii) Nuclear charge : As the nuclear charge increases, ionization enthalpy values also increases. It is
because the force of attraction on the valence electrons increases.
Ionization Enthalpy Nuclear charge
iii) Screening effect or Sheilding effect : Higher the screening effect, the lesser is the value of ionization
enthalpy. It reduces the force of attraction towards nucleus. Hence outer most electrons can be easily
removed.
p Definition : The electrons present in inner orbitals decrease the nuclear attraction on the valency
electrons. This is called Screening or Sheilding effect.

Ionization Enthalpy
Screening effect
iv) Extent of penetration of orbitals of valence electrons : More is the penetration of orbital more will
be the ionization enthalpy.The s-orbital is more close to nucleus than the p-orbital of the same orbit.
p So it is difficult to remove electron from s-orbital.
p So the order of penetration power or ionization enthalpies is s > p > d > f.

25. State the second law of thermodynamics. What do you understand by it ?
Ans. Second law of thermodynamics is stated in different forms.
i) It is impossible to construct a machine working in cycles which transforms heat from a lower temperature
region to higher temparature region without the intervention of any external agency. Such a machine is
called perpetual motion machine of second kind (This is not possible)
ii) All spontaneous processes are thermodynamically irreversible and entropy of the system increases in
all spontaneous processes.
Ex : All natural processes are spontaneous.
A volatile liquid placed in an open vessel vapouries at any temperature without the intervention of any
external agency. Therefore vapourisation of a volatile liquid is spontaneous as per second law of
thermodynamics.

27. Define heat capacity. What are Cp and Cv ? Show that Cp– Cv= R
Ans. Cp is the molar heat capacity at constant pressure, Cv is the molar heat capacity at constant volume. Heat
Capacity of a substance (C) : Heat capacity of a substance is defined as the amount of heat required to
raise its temperature through one degree
C = q/dT; q is heat absorbed; dT rise in temperature

34. Discuss the application of Lechatelier’s principle for the industrial synthesis of Ammonia and
sulphur trioxide.
(Mar 2010, 12, 2013)
Ans. Application of Le Chatelier’s principle to synthesis of Ammonia by Haber’s process:
N 2 g 3H 2 g 2NH 3 g ; H 92kJ
4 volumes 2 volumes
Nitrogen and Hydrogen combine to form ammonia. The formation of ammonia is reversible and
exothermic reaction. It is accompanied by decrease in volume
Effect of concentration : If N2 and H2 are increased the equlibrium shifts in forward direction and more
ammonia is produced.
By continusous removal of ammonia the equlibrium shifts in the forward direction.
If the concentration of the ammonia is increased the equlibrium shifts in the backward direction i.e.
more dissociation of ammonia takes place.
Effect of Pressure : 1volume of N2 combines with 3 volumes of H2 to from 2 volumes of NH3. There
is decrease in volume in the forward reaction (4 volumes to 2 volumes). According to Le chatelier’s
principle increase of pressure favours the forward reaction where there is decrease in volume. So higher
the pressure greater is the yeild of ammonia by Haber’s process.
Low pressures favour the reverse reaction i.e., decomposition of NH3 already formed.
Effect of Temperature : Formation of ammonia is Exothermic reaction hence low temperature is
favorable but at low temperature the reaction is slow.Therefore and optimum temperature (725 K–775K)
is chosen in Haber’s process. To speed up the reaction, a catalyst, finely divided iron is used. To increase
the activity of the catalyst molybdenum or a mixture of oxides of K and Al is used as promoter
The reverse reaction (i.e) decomposition of NH3 is an endothermic reaction High temperatures favour
the decomposition of NH3. Therefore high temperatures are avoided in Haber’s process.
Thus the optimum conditions are
Pressure : 200 atm
Temperature : 725 – 775K
Catalyst : Fe (Powdered)
Promoter : Mo (or) (K2O+Al2O3)
Application of Le chatelier’s principle to the synthesis of SO 3
2SO 2 g O 2 g 2SO3 g H 189kJ
3volumes (2+1) 2 volumes
The formation of SO3 is reversible and exothermic reaction. It is accompanied by decrease in volume.
i) Effect of concentration : If SO2 and O2 are increased the equlibrium shifts in forward direction and
more and more SO3 is produced.
Jr. Chemis-
try
Jr. Chem-
istry 26
By continusous removal of SO3 the equlibrium shifts in the forward direction.
If the concentration of the SO3 is increased the equlibrium shifts in the backward direction i.e.
more dissociation of SO3 takes place.
ii) Effect of pressure : 2 volumes of SO2 and one volumeof O2 combine to give 2 volumes of
SO3According to Le chatelier’s principle high pressure favours the reaction where there is decrease
in volume. The formation of SO3 is accompanied by decrease in volume (3 volumes to 2 volumes )
Higher the pressure greater is the yield of SO3 but in contact process high pressures are not used
because towers used in the manufacture are corroded by the acid at these high pressures.
Low pressures favour the decomposition of SO3 as there is increase in volume. ( 2 volumes to
3 volumes) Therefore optimum pressures are used (1.5 to 1.7 atmosphere)
iii) Effect of Temperature : The formation of SO3 is exothermic i.e., 189 kJ of heat is evolved High
temperatures favour the reverse reaction which is endothermic and do not favour the forward reaction
which is exothermic. Low temperatures are favourable for the formation of SO3 At low temperature
the reaction is too slow. Therefore an optimum temperature 673 K is used. To speed up the reaction
V2O5 is used as catalyst optimum conditions:
Pressure : 1.5 to 1.7 atm
Temperature : 673K
Catalyst : V2O5 (or) Platinised asbestos
35. What is ionic product of water? What is its value at room temperature?
Ans. Kw is defined as “the product of the concentrations of H + and OH– ions in water (or) in aqueous solutions
at a given temperature”.
The concentration of H+ ion was found experimentally as 1.0 107 M at 25C
At room temperature (25°C or 298 K) value of Kw for water = 1.0 × 10 –14 mol2 / lit2
36. What is Common ion effect? Illustrate.
Ans. The phenomenon of the suppression of the solubility of an electrolyte, in water by the addition of
another electrolyte which has a common ion with the original electrolyte is called common ion effect.
Ex : Ionisation of acetic acid is decreased in the presence of CH3COONa.
CH 3COOH CH 3COO H
Weak acid
CH 3COONa CH 3COO Na
Common ion
Due to common ion effect ionisation of CH 3COOH is suppressed.
Acetic acid is a weak acid it ionises in equilibrium giving H+ and CH3COO– ions
Sodium acetate is a strong salt it ionises completely giving CH3COO– and Na+ ions
Now in the solution there are more number of acetate ions. Due to common ion effect and
Lechatelier’s principle, the dissociation of acetic acid is suppressed due to common ion effect.
37. What is Le Chatelier’s principle ? discuss briefly the factors which can influence the equilibrium
Ans. Le Chatelier’s principle : “If a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in concentration, temperature
or pressure then the equilibrium will shift in that direction to nullify the effect of change”.
Factors which influence equlibrium are
i) Concentration : Increase of reactant concentrations pushes the equilibrium state to the products side
(forward direction)
Increase of the products concentrations pushes the equilibrium to the reactants side (backward
Jr. Chemis-
try
Jr. Chem-
istry 27
direction).
For example in the chemical equilibrium
H 2 g I 2 g 2HI g
N 2 g O 2 g 2NO g equilibrium
But in the case of reactions in which there is a change in the number of moles of the reactants
and the products i.e. n = positive (or) negative..
Increase of pressure pushes the reaction equilibrium in the direction in which there is a decrease
in the number of moles
For example in the reaction PCl5 g PCl3 g Cl2 g ; n = 1
Increase of pressure favours the backward reaction (towards less number of moles) i.e. formation
of more PCl5 takes place.
The decrease of pressure favour the forward reaction (towards more number of moles) i.e.
dissociation of PCl5 takes place.
iii) Temperature: Increase of temperature favour the endothermic reaction and decrease of temperature
favours exothermic reactions (or)
Increase of temperature shifts the equlibrium, in that direction where there is absorption of heat
(endothermic reaction).
Decrease of temperature shifts the equlibrium, in that direction where there is liberation of heat
(exothermic reaction).

39. Explain Lewis acid-base theory with suitable examples. Classify the following into Lewis
acids , Lewis bases and show these act as Lewis acid/base.
a) OH– b) F– c) H+ d) BCl3
Ans. Lewis acid : A substance that can accept an electron pair from other substance to form co-ordinate
covalent bond is called Lewis acid. It is electron pair acceptor.
Type of Lewis acids : Lewis acids are of five types. They are
i) Simple cations Ag+, Co+3, Cu+2, Fe+3, Al+3 act as Lewis acids.
ii) Compounds in which the central atom has an incomplete octet and possessing an empty p-orbital can
act as a lewis acid.
Ex : BF3, BCl3, AlCl3
iii) Compounds in which the central atom has vacant d-orbitals and may expand its octet can act as Lewis
acids.
Ex : SiF4 , SF4 , SnCl4 , FeCl3
iv) Molecules having multiple bonds between atoms of dissimilar electronegativities can be have
like Lewis acids.
Ex : CO 2 , SO 2 , SO3 , NO 2 .
v) Elements with six electrons in the valence shell or electron sextet can act as Lewis acids.
Ex : O, S .
p Lewis base : A base is a substance which can donate an electron pair to other substance to form
co-ordinate covalent bond. It is electron pair donor.
Type of Lewis bases:

ii) Molecules with one or two lone pairs on the central atom can act as Lewis bases.
Ex : H 2 O, NH 3 , R OH, R OR
iii) Molecules containing multiple bonds can act as Lewis bases.
Ex : C2 H 2 , C2 H 4
p Neutralisation : The formation of a co-ordinate covalent bond, between a base and an acid is called
neutralisation.
Ex: 1. Formation of NH3 BF3 : In a reaction between BF3 and NH3 , boron of BF3 accepts a
lone pair from nitrogen of NH3 and forms a coordinate covalent bond.
NH 3 BF3 [H 3 N BF3 ]
forms NH +4 ion.
NH 3 H [H 3 N H]
Lewis Lewis Ammonium ion
base acid
Limitations of Lewis theory :
i) One of the serious defects in the theory is that it cannot explain the strengths of acids and bases.
ii) Acids like HCl, H2SO4 react with bases such as NaOH or KOH but do not form coordinate
covalent bond.
iii) Generally acid-base interactions i.e. neutralisation reactions are instantaneous reactions but some
in Lewis acid-base reactions go on very slowly.
iv) All the acid-base reactions do not involve coordinate bond formation.
v) H+ ion as catalyst, cannot be explained by this theory.
