Q1.Suppose 5.00 mol of an ideal monatomic gas at an initial temperature of 298 K and pressure of 10.0 atm is expanded adiabatically and reversibly until the pressure has decreased to 1.00 atm. Calculate the enthalpy change, and the work done.
Q5.The variation in properties in a group of p-block of elements is due to
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
The difference in properties of p block element is because of presence of inner lying d and f electrons which have poor shielding effect.
Q6.The maximum oxidation state shown by any p-block element is
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution: Maximum oxidation state of any p block element is the number of ionisable electrons which is equal to the sum of s and p electrons present in valence shell. For example valance shell electronic configuration of group 15 element is ns2np3 so max oxidation state is +5
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
Group oxidation state is the highest oxidation state exhibited by the elements present in any particular group.
For p block elements it is the sum of the s and p-electrons.
Q8.Inert pair effect of p-block elements is due to the
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
The inert pair effect is nothing but the extra stability concept. Generally P-block elements shows variable valiancy which is equal to the maximum oxidation (Group oxidation state) state of that group of p-block elements, p block elements may show other oxidation state i.e.+2.
Group oxidation state +4 is obtained when electrons are lost from both ns and np levels,
+2 oxidation state is obtained while only np level electrons are lost due to extra stability and poor shielding of ns electron which are called inert pair. The effect is the inert effect
Q10.As we move from B to Al in the p-block elements the sum of the first three ionisation enthalpies
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution: On moving from B to Al size of the atom increases. So ionisation enthalpy decreases. Thus as we move from B to Al in the p-block elements the sum of the first three ionisation enthalpies considerably decreases. This is the reason aluminium forms Al3+ ion.
