How is 3 also correct?
V3+ = 20 electrons = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 ... so it doesn't have unpaired electrons :/

How to do?

 

[nehaoscar]

Why not the others? what would they give?

 

[qwertypoiu]

Ah yes! And say if it was catalysed by a different catalyst... then it would be C right?

If there was already a catalyst present, and the amount of catalyst remained the same, the shape would still be like that of D. Only the value of rate at specific timings would be different. (higher)

The thing with this question is that since the product themselves are catalysing the reaction, the amount of catalyst increases over time, instead of being constant.

So the reagents could be PCl5 or SOCl etc...?

Yep only those particular ones

How to do??

 

[nehaoscar]

Why won't amide ions be present?

 

[nehaoscar]

I know that 3 is wrong obviously
But the 1H3+ ion ... does it have -2 neutrons?? Like how many neutrons does it have?

 

[nehaoscar]

why is 2 wrong?
More H+ concentration = more acidic ... so why is it wrong?

 

[nehaoscar]

How are 2 and 3 also correct?
What is the intermediate formed? Like it's formula?

Heres the intermediate. As you can see the oxygen carries a negative charge and since it has a lone pair it acts as a nucleophile.

How to do????

 

[shazmina]

Option 2 is a salt, so it will be found in the flask. The question specifies on the distillate.

Thank you so much

Help please........ the ans is B

Which of these equations represents the reaction of sulphur dioxide with an excess of aqueous

sodium hydroxide?

A SO2 + NaOH ----> NaHSO3

B SO2 + 2NaOH -------> Na2SO3 + H2O

C SO2 + 2NaOH ------> Na2SO4 + H2O

D SO2 + 2NaOH -----> Na2SO4 + H2

Why cant it be reaction C???

 

[nehaoscar]

Can it not also be D? Why is D wrong?

 

[nehaoscar]

Why does decomposition temperature increase?

 

[nehaoscar]

How??

You forgot 3d.

Group II metal sulphate solubility decreases down the group, so Barium will give a white precipitate (insoluble)

How to do??

3x10^-3 reacts with 2x10^-3 so 3 moles of TlNO3 reacts with 2 moles of NH4VO3. Each Ti will give 2 electrons, giving 6 electrons in total. V in Vo3- is +5, so those 6 electrons will be divided between 2 VO3s, each will get reduced to +2.

They will form NH3 immediately.

None. Hydrogen doesn't usually have neutrons, hence the 1 atomic mass.

How to do????

Mass of gas is 1.32g, and usually NO2:O2 ratio is 4:1. So, taking mass of no2 as x, and O2 as 1.32 - x, you get (x/46) / ((1.32-x)/32) = 4. Solving which gives you x = 1.12g. 1.12 / 46 gives 0.0243 something. Ratio of MO:NO2 is 1:2, so nMO = 0.0122. 0.0122 = 2-1.32 / Mr gives you Mr = 55.9 almost. 55.9 - 16 gives you around 39.9, which is very near to the atomic mass of Ca. (you will get 40.1 if you don't round off things)

Why and how D?
If it's D then the Carbon before the R will only have 3 bonds :O
Why not B?

Why would it have 3 bonds? It has 4. (2 with one carbon, 1 with the top ethyl group, 1 with the bottom one) Besides, if it was B, then it would still possess cis-trans isomers.
