ii. Limitng reagent:The limiting reagent in a chemical reaction is a reactant 1
that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. The
amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot
continue without it.
21 Alkali metals have very low ionization enthalpy because the outer electron if 1
highly shielded from the nucleus by inner completely orbitals.
147
Noble gases have very high ionization enthapies because of completely filled 1
shell.

27 i. Halogens have very high negative electron gain enthalpies because 1
they can attain stable noble gas electronic configurations by picking up an 1
electron.
ii. Mg2+ ion is smaller than O2-ion although both have the same 1
electronic configuration because of higher nuclear charge.
iii. Electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less negative than that of
chlorine. This is because when an electron is added to F, the added electron
goes to the smaller n = 2 quantum level and suffers significant repulsion from
the other electrons present in this level.
28 i. The pH of a solution is defined as the negative logarithm to base 10 of the 1
concentration of hydrogen ion [H+].
pH = -log[H+].
149
pH = – log [H+] or log [H+] = – pH = – 3.76 = 4.24

SECTION F
33 [Link] a reaction to be spontaneous ΔG should be negative. 1
ii. if both ΔH and ΔS are negative, ΔG can be negative only if TΔS < ΔH in
1
magnitude.
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS, ΔG = (−) − T(−)
150
This is possible only if either ΔH has a large negative value or T is so low
that TΔS < ΔH.
iii.
OR
a. Both ΔH and ΔS are positive so ΔG will be negative only if TΔS > ΔH in
magnitude. 1
ΔG = ΔH−TΔS
1
ΔG = (+) − T(+)
OR
Thus either ΔS should be very large so that even if T is low, TΔS is greater
than ΔH, or if ΔS is small, T should be high so that TΔS > ΔH. 1
b. Lattice energy can be defined as the energy required to convert one mole
of an ionic solid into gaseous ionic constituents.

34 i. Inductive effect is a partial shifting/displacement of σ electrons 1
towards a more electronegative atom of σ bond.
ii. The spontaneous formation of a dipole molecule of the organic compound
because of the complete transfer of shared pi electrons pairs to other atoms
in the influence of attacking reagent present is referred to as Electromeric 1
effect.

35 a) Decarboxylation:
Sodium salt of carboxylic acids (R-COONa) on heating with soda lime (a mixture of
NaOH and CaO), we get an alkane containing one carbon atom less than that of the 1
carboxylic acid.

b) Aromatization:
n-Alkanes having six or more carbon atoms on heating to 773K at 10-20
atmospheric pressure in the presence of oxides of vanadium, molybdenum or
chromium supported over alumina, we get aromatic compounds.
c) Kharash effect:
In the presence of peroxide, addition of HBr to unsymmetrical alkenes takes
place against Markovnikov rule. This is known as peroxide or Kharash effect or anti-
Markovnikov addition reaction.
e.g. CH3-CH= CH2 + HBr CH3-CH2-CH2
d) Sulphonation: It is the introduction of sulphonic acid (-SO3H) group to a
benzene ring. It is carried out by heating benzene with fuming sulphuric
acid (H2S2O7 or oleum).

152
