Determine the new freezing point of the solution:

The freezing point of pure water is 0 °C. Therefore, the freezing point of
the solution will be:

Freezing point=0 °C− ΔTf =0 °C− 1.116 °C=− 1.116 °C

(a) Primary batteries contain a limited amount of reactants and are discharged
when the reactants have been consumed. Secondary batteries can be 1
recharged but take a long time to recharge. Fuel cells run continuously as
long as the reactants are supplied to it and products as removed
immediately, also pollution free and more efficiency

A plot between ln k and 1/T

(b) No it is not possible. Thisis explained with the help of Arrhenius equation according
to this the rate constant is equal to collision frequency and every collision among the
reacting species will lead to the products. Since this does not happen. It is not possible for 1
a chemical reaction to have activation energy equal to zero.

(c) It increases the rate constant k- Option (d)

OR
(a) Activation energy of forward reaction is E1 +E2 and product is less stable than
reactant

(b) As the partial pressure of CO2 in the atmosphere above the drink rapidly
decreases, the solubility of CO2 in the drink also decreases. ( Due to Henry’s 1

[Co(NH3)5(SO4)]Clgives white precipitate with silver nitrate solution
while [Co(NH3)5Cl]SO4 does not respond to this test

(d) The difference in magnetic moments is mainly due to the different natures of
ligands (H2O is weak field ligand 5- unpaired electrons and CN− is strong field
ligand-1 unpaired electron) in the two complexes which makes the number of
unpaired electrons in each complex different, hence we get different values of
magnetic moments.

(e) The complex[Co(en)3] 3+
is more stable because en is a bidentate chelating ligand .

(c) [Co(NH₃)₆]Cl₃ and its IUPAC name is - Hexaaminecobalt (III) chloride. 1

(d) The metal-carbon bond in metal carbonyls possess both σ and π character. The M–
C σ bond is formed by the donation of lone pair of electrons on the carbonyl
carbon into a vacant orbital of the metal. The M–C π bond is formed by the 1
donation of a pair of electrons from a filled d orbital of metal into the vacant
antibonding π* orbital of carbon monoxide. The metal to ligand bonding creates a
synergic effect which strengthens the bond between CO and the metal
