2. Given Data
Volume of CO2 produced = 11.2 liters
Purity of CaCO3 sample = 95%

3. Concept
Stoichiometry: The quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a chemical
reaction.
Ideal Gas Law: At Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP), 1 mole of any gas occupies
22.4 liters.
Molar Mass: The mass of one mole of a substance.

4. Mathematical Calculation
• Calculate moles of CO2:
• Moles of CO2 = Volume of CO2 / Molar volume at STP
• Moles of CO2 = 11.2 L / 22.4 L / mol = 0.5 moles

Determine moles of CaCO3 required:


Balanced chemical equation: CaCO3(s) CaO(s) → CO2(g)
1 mole of CaCO3 produces 1 mole of CO2
Moles of CaCO3 = Moles of CO2 = 0.5 moles

Calculate mass of pure CaCO3:


Molar mass of CaCO3 = 40.08 g/mol (Ca) 12.01 g/mol (C) + 3 * 16.00
g/mol (O) 100.09 g/mol
Mass of pure CaCO3 Moles of CaCO3 Molar mass of CaCO3
Mass of pure CaCO3 0.5 moles* 100.09 g/mol = 50.045 g

Calculate mass of 95% pure CaCO3 sample:


Mass of 95% CaCO3 Mass of pure CaCO3/Purity of CaCO3
Mass of 95% CaCO3 = 50.045 g/0.95 = 52.68 g

Problem Statement: The question asks which electronic configuration of a metal ion cannot
give a magnetic moment of 1.73 Bohr Magneton (B.M.). It provides four options with different
d-electron counts and geometries, and we need to identify the one that is inconsistent with
having one unpaired electron (which corresponds to this magnetic moment).

Underlying Concept: The problem is based on crystal field theory and magnetic properties of
transition metal complexes. The magnetic moment depends on the number of unpaired
electrons, which is influenced by the metal's d-electron configuration, its spin state (high or
low), and the geometry of the complex (octahedral, square planar, tetrahedral). The spin-only
magnetic moment is calculated using the number of unpaired electrons.

Relevant Formulas: The spin-only magnetic moment formula is:

where is the number of unpaired electrons.

Step-by-Step Calculation: Given B.M., solve for :

Check each configuration:


1. d7 octahedral low-spin: configuration is → 1 unpaired electron → magnetic moment
~1.73 B.M. ✔
2. d5 octahedral low-spin: configuration is → 1 unpaired electron → magnetic moment
~1.73 B.M. ✔
3. d8 square planar: all electrons paired → 0 unpaired → magnetic moment 0 B.M. ✘
4. d9 tetrahedral (high-spin): 1 unpaired electron → magnetic moment ~1.73 B.M. ✔
Therefore, the d8 square planar configuration is not possible for the given magnetic moment.

Tips and Tricks: Use the spin-only magnetic moment formula to estimate unpaired electrons
quickly and remember that square planar geometry typically stabilizes low-spin states with
paired electrons particularly for d8 configurations.

Common Mistakes: Assuming all configurations have unpaired electrons without considering
the geometry and spin state. Ignoring the difference between high-spin and low-spin cases.
Forgetting that square planar d8 complexes are usually low-spin with no unpaired electrons.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect?: The other configurations all have 1 unpaired electron
matching the given magnetic moment. The d8 square planar is low-spin with all electrons
paired, which gives zero magnetic moment, hence inconsistent with 1.73 B.M.

Problem Statement: The question asks which of the given cations (Hg^{+2}, Pb^{+2},
Cu^{+2}, Ag^{+}) forms a precipitate in two different groups during a classical qualitative
inorganic group analysis. Essentially, it wants to identify the cation that precipitates both in
the chloride group and again later in the sulfide group.

Underlying Concept: The core concept involves classical qualitative inorganic analysis where
metal ions are separated based on their differing solubilities and reactions in various reagents
and conditions. Group I (chloride group) cations form insoluble chlorides when treated with
dilute HCl. The filtrate after this stage may contain metal ions that don't precipitate here but
can precipitate in subsequent groups, such as the sulfide group (acid Hâ‚‚S group). Some ions,
like Pb^{+2}, appear in precipitates in two different groups since their chlorides are partially
soluble and can reappear as sulfide precipitates in the next stage.

Tips and Tricks: Recall the classical group separation order in qualitative analysis: Group I
cations precipitate as chlorides; Pb^{+2} chloride dissolves on heating, allowing Pb^{+2} to
be carried forward to Group II where it forms a sulfide precipitate. This is a unique behavior
among the given ions.

Common Mistakes: Assuming all chlorides behave the same and precipitate only once, or
confusing Hg^{+2} with Hg_2^{+2} (dimercury ion) which also forms insoluble chlorides but
does not carry forward similarly to Pb^{+2}.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect?: Ag^{+} and Hg_2^{+2} form insoluble chlorides but
do not produce further precipitates in the acid Hâ‚‚S group, while Cu^{+2} forms no insoluble
chloride and precipitates only in later groups, so they don't precipitate in both groups.

Problem Statement: The question asks to determine which given statements about different
coordination complex isomerisms are correct. It provides four statements related to
coordination, linkage, ionization, and geometrical isomers, and the task is to select the correct
option(s) from the given codes.

Underlying Concept: The core concepts are types of isomerism in coordination chemistry:
coordination isomerism (different ligands attached to different metal centers in a compound),
linkage isomerism (different binding sites of the same ligand), ionization isomerism (exchange
of ions inside and outside the coordination sphere), and geometrical isomerism (different
spatial arrangements in complexes, e.g., cis/trans). Understanding these types helps identify
whether pairs of given complexes represent these isomers.

Tips and Tricks: Remember that coordination isomers involve swapping of ligands between
different metal centers, linkage isomers involve ambidentate ligands attaching via different
atoms, ionization isomers differ in counter ions, and tetrahedral complexes generally do not
show cis/trans isomers.

Common Mistakes: Confusing ionization isomers with linkage isomers, or assuming


tetrahedral coordination always exhibits geometrical isomerism; also, misidentifying hydrate
(solvate) isomers as linkage isomers.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?: (ii) Incorrect: The pairs differ by solvate/hydrate ions
and not ligand binding sites, so not linkage isomers. (iii) Incorrect: These differ in counter
ions, so they are ionization isomers, not linkage isomers. (iv) Incorrect: Tetrahedral complexes
usually lack geometrical isomers due to symmetry, so no cis/trans forms exist here.

86) Question Explanation:


Question is asking that Dil. HCl + H2S is the group reagent of which group

Concept:
This question is based on Group reagent

Correct Option:2

87) Question Explanation:


Question is asking about ion gives a suffocating gas when treated with dilute HCI

Concept:
This question is based on Properties of sulfite ion

Solution:
When dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium sulphite Na2SO3, it produces sulphur dioxide
(SO2) gas, which has a sulffocating smell.
Reaction: Na2SO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O + SO2

Hence,
Correct Option: 2

steps, which are initiation, elongation and termination. The RNA polymerase is only capable of
catalysing the process of elongation. It associates transiently with initiation-factor (σ) and
termination-factor (ρ) to initiate and terminate the transcription

111) Statement I: Correct. Har Gobind Khorana's chemical method was indeed instrumental in
synthesising RNA molecules with defined combinations of bases, which played a crucial role in
understanding the genetic code.
Statement II: Incorrect. Severo Ochoa's enzyme (polynucleotide phosphorylase) was helpful in
polymerising RNA with defined sequences in a template independent manner, not random
sequences in a template dependent manner.

In this question we have to select the correct order of organisation of genetic material from
largest to smallest.
Genome : The complete set of genetic material in an organism, which includes all the
chromosomes and genes. It is the largest level of organization.
Chromosome : A structure made of DNA and proteins that contains many genes. It is a
subunit of the genome.
Gene : A segment of DNA located on a chromosome that codes for a specific protein or RNA
molecule. Genes are part of chromosomes.
Nucleotide : The basic building block of DNA and RNA. Nucleotides make up the DNA
molecule, which forms genes and chromosomes.
