Concept: Mole concept involving limiting reogent.
Solution:
At equivalence point

= 40 mL
→ Before equivalence point (V < 40 mL)
H2O2 is limiting reagent,
So amount of O2 produced ∝ volume of H2O2 added

This creates a linear upward slope starting from origin.

⇒ After equivalence point (V ≥ 40 mL) :
ClO– is the limiting reagent. Since all 0.040 mol of ClO– has been consumed, adding more H2O2
will not produce more O2.

This creates a horizontal plateau.

45) Explain Question: What is the best explanation for the larger bond angle in NF3
Concept: Participation of orbitals in bonding.
Solution:
Due to the smaller size of the nitrogen atom, its 2s and 2p orbitals are closer in energy,
leading to more effective sp3 hybridization. This results in bond angles closer to the ideal
tetrahedral angle of 109.5°.
In PF3, the energy gap between the 3s and 3p orbitals is larger. Consequently, the phosphorus
atom uses orbitals with higher p-character for bonding (approaching pure -orbitals which are
oriented at 90°), while the lone pair resides primarily in the 3s orbital.
The larger bond angle in NF3 is best explained by the fact that the nitrogen 2s-orbital
participates more in bonding than the phosphorus 3s-orbital, leading to greater sp3
character in the bonding orbitals of NF3 compared to PF3
Final Answer: (A)
