N-N bond breaks as it is very weak (energy 160 Kj/mol). NF2 is the single product. Statement 1 is incorrect. Statement 2 is correct as 160 is the energy of the bond that breaks. Molecules non linear as a lone pair present on N of NF2

Solve for each equation.
I will only show for D, which is the right answer.
Initial moles of P = 2 mol
mol at equilibrium of R = x
so for equation D,
mol at equilibrium of P = 2 - x
mol at equilibrium of Q = x/2
Sum of all mol at equilibrium expressions
x+(2-x)+(x/2)
Simplifies to [2+(x/2)] which should be the total moles according to the question.

Go to the data booklet, there you'll find 4. Standard Electrode potential ................................, there you'll find the equation for oxidation of Sn2+ to Sn4+ and reduction of KMNO4, just balance them so that the mole ratio of electrons is the same on both sides and then add the two equations, the electrons will cancel out to give you the equation, and then you know the rest!

Appreciations and a thunderous Applause for you.
Thank you teacher.

can you plz be more clear

 

[Metanoia]

could you plz explain why you left out the fifth carbon?

That would create an identical structure as the 2nd structure (imagine rotating the 2nd structure 120 degrees counter-clockwise).

Q30 View attachment 62417

Oh, I have left out the other part of the information. There is indeed a chiral carbon in Option D, but option D is a "Cis" isomer (check the C=C).

Option C is a trans-isomer. The question is looking for an optically active trans-isomer

A.
Why is 3 correct?

Increasing the pressure also increases the concentration of the gaseous reactants, therefore the rate of backward is also expected to increase.

However, the equilibrium will still shift to the right as the increase in the rate of the forward reaction is more than the increase in the rate of backward reaction.

I can't see the right side of the question, should I assume that the charge is -3?

Sodium metal will react with carboxyl groups COOH and hydroxyl OH groups to form COO- and O-. So if we have a total of 3 such groups, it will form a -3 charge

Sodium hydroxide will react with COOH and not OH

What paper is this??
Variant???

June 2013, Paper 11

 

[amina1300]

can you plz be more clear

A- Inital: 2 : 0 : 0
Final : 2-x: 2x : x
Total moles: 2-2+2x+x = 3x so A is incorrect.

B-
Initial: 2 : 0 : 0
Final: 2-2x : 2x : x
Total moles: 2-2x+2x+x = 2+x so B is incorrect

C-
Initial: 2 : 0 : 0
Final 2-2x:x:x
Total = 2-2x+x+x = 2 incorrect

D-
Initial: 2 : 0 : 0
Final: 2-x : x/2 : x [x = 2R]
Total moles = 2-x+x/2+x =2+x/2 mols!

HELP!!

Q22) C-Br bond longest and weakest (Br atomic radius largest) so C-Br bond will be the first to undergo homolytic fission.

Q26) You said it yourself, "ketone"... The product shown in A is not ketone, but an aldehyde. Ketone would be CH3COCH3.

Q30, ???
Q 33 What does statement 2 mean?
Q24 How can D be correct? Doesnt hot kmno4 oxidise to aldehydes and cooh?
Q23 Hiw do v know what radicals form?
q 21 plz show diagram..while explaining

THANKYOUU n SRRY ABOUT Q 26 THIS IS WHEN I SOLVE A Q.P AT 3:00 AM.
CAN U PLZZ EXplain Q27??
if u hv time 19 n 10 too?
