The units nanometer and picometer are related as,
A
$1 \ nm = 10^{3} \ pm$
B
$1 \ nm = 10^{-9} \ pm$
C
$1 \ nm = 10^{-12} \ pm$
D
$1 \ nm = 10^{-3} \ pm$

Solution

$(A)$ We know that $1 \ nm = 10^{-9} \ m$ and $1 \ pm = 10^{-12} \ m$.
To find the relationship between $nm$ and $pm$, we divide the two values:
$\frac{1 \ nm}{1 \ pm} = \frac{10^{-9} \ m}{10^{-12} \ m} = 10^{-9 - (-12)} = 10^{3}$.
Therefore, $1 \ nm = 10^{3} \ pm$.

$A$ certain sample of gas has a volume of $0.2 \ L$ at one atmosphere pressure and $273.15 \ K$. What is the volume of gas at $273.15 \ ^{\circ}C$ at the same pressure (in $L$)?
A
$2.703$
B
$0.2$
C
$0.4$
D
$5.406$

Solution

(C) Given: $V_{1} = 0.2 \ L$,$T_{1} = 273.15 \ K$.
The final temperature is $T_{2} = 273.15 \ ^{\circ}C = 273.15 + 273.15 = 546.30 \ K$.
According to Charles's Law,at constant pressure $(P)$ and amount of gas $(n)$:
$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$
Substituting the values:
$V_{2} = \frac{V_{1} \times T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \frac{0.2 \times 546.30}{273.15} = 0.4 \ L$.

$A$ gas has a volume of $3.4 \ L$ at $25^{\circ} C$. What is the final temperature if the volume increases to $10.2 \ L$ at constant pressure (in $K$)?
A
$1894$
B
$694$
C
$894$
D
$394$

Solution

(C) Given: $V_{1} = 3.4 \ L$,$T_{1} = 25^{\circ} C = 25 + 273 = 298 \ K$.
$V_{2} = 10.2 \ L$,$T_{2} = ?$.
According to Charles's Law,at constant pressure and amount of gas,$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{3.4 \ L}{298 \ K} = \frac{10.2 \ L}{T_{2}}$.
$T_{2} = \frac{10.2 \ L \times 298 \ K}{3.4 \ L} = 3 \times 298 \ K = 894 \ K$.

$A$ certain mass of a gas occupies a volume of $2 \ dm^{3}$ at $STP$. At what temperature will the volume of the gas become double,keeping the pressure constant (in $^{\circ} C$)?
A
$540.15$
B
$400.15$
C
$546.15$
D
$273.15$

Solution

(D) Given: $V_{1} = 2 \ dm^{3}$,$T_{1} = 273.15 \ K$ (at $STP$).
We need to find $T_{2}$ when $V_{2} = 2 \times V_{1} = 4 \ dm^{3}$ at constant pressure.
According to Charles's law,$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{2}{273.15} = \frac{4}{T_{2}}$.
$T_{2} = \frac{4 \times 273.15}{2} = 546.3 \ K$.
To convert to Celsius: $t^{\circ} C = T(K) - 273.15$.
$t^{\circ} C = 546.3 - 273.15 = 273.15^{\circ} C$.

Given: $P_1 = 720 \ mm$,$V_1 = 100 \ mL$,$V_2 = 84 \ mL$.
Substituting the values into the equation: $P_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1}{V_2}$.
$P_2 = \frac{720 \times 100}{84} = \frac{72000}{84} \approx 857.14 \ mm$.

According to Andrews isothermals,the minimum temperature at which carbon dioxide gas obeys Boyle's law is (in $^{\circ}C$)
A
$32.5$
B
$31.1$
C
$48.1$
D
$35.5$

Solution

(B) According to Andrews' experiments on carbon dioxide,the gas obeys Boyle's law only at temperatures above its critical temperature.
For carbon dioxide,the critical temperature $(T_c)$ is $31.1^{\circ}C$.
At temperatures below $31.1^{\circ}C$,the gas can be liquefied by pressure,and it deviates significantly from ideal gas behavior.
Therefore,the minimum temperature at which $CO_2$ behaves like an ideal gas (obeying Boyle's law) is its critical temperature,which is $31.1^{\circ}C$.

According to the ideal gas equation,$PV=nRT$.
Substituting the values: $P = \frac{nRT}{V} = \frac{2 \times 0.082 \times 546}{44.8}$.
$P = \frac{89.544}{44.8} \approx 1.998 \ atm$.
Therefore,the correct option is $A$.

Volume of a balloon at $25^{\circ} C$ and $1 \ bar$ pressure is $2.27 \ L$. If the pressure of the gas in the balloon is reduced to $0.227 \ bar$,what is the rise in volume of the gas (in $L$)?
A
$12.27$
B
$7.73$
C
$10$
D
$4.10$

Solution

(B) Given: $P_{1} = 1 \ bar$,$V_{1} = 2.27 \ L$,$P_{2} = 0.227 \ bar$.
According to Boyle's Law,$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$ at constant temperature.
Substituting the values: $1 \ bar \times 2.27 \ L = 0.227 \ bar \times V_{2}$.
$V_{2} = \frac{1 \times 2.27}{0.227} = 10 \ L$.
The rise in volume of the gas is $\Delta V = V_{2} - V_{1} = 10 \ L - 2.27 \ L = 7.73 \ L$.

Solution

(A) Given: $n = 2 \ mol$,$V_{1} = 12.5 \ L = 12.5 \times 10^{-3} \ m^{3}$,$V_{2} = 15.0 \ L = 15.0 \times 10^{-3} \ m^{3}$,$P_{ext} = 760 \ mm \ Hg = 1.013 \times 10^{5} \ N \ m^{-2}$.
Work done in an irreversible expansion is given by the formula: $W = -P_{ext} \Delta V$.
$W = -P_{ext}(V_{2} - V_{1}) = -1.013 \times 10^{5} \times (15.0 - 12.5) \times 10^{-3} \ J$.
$W = -1.013 \times 10^{5} \times 2.5 \times 10^{-3} \ J$.

A
$-1436$
B
$-5744$
C
$-4308$
D
$-2872$

Solution

(D) Given: $V_1 = 10 \ dm^3, V_2 = 100 \ dm^3, T = 300 \ K, R = 8.314 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$.
Mass of $O_2$ $(m)$ = $1.6 \times 10^{-2} \ kg = 16 \ g$.
Molar mass of $O_2$ $(M)$ = $32 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Number of moles $(n)$ = $\frac{m}{M} = \frac{16}{32} = 0.5 \ mol$.
For an isothermal and reversible expansion process,the work done is given by:
$W = -2.303 \ nRT \ \log_{10} \left( \frac{V_2}{V_1} \right)$.
Substituting the values:
$W = -2.303 \times 0.5 \times 8.314 \times 300 \times \log_{10} \left( \frac{100}{10} \right)$.
$W = -2.303 \times 0.5 \times 8.314 \times 300 \times \log_{10} (10)$.
Since $\log_{10} (10) = 1$,
$W = -2.303 \times 0.5 \times 8.314 \times 300 = -2872 \ J$.

D
$-6.0$

Solution

(C) Given: $V_{1} = 4 \ dm^{3}$,$V_{2} = 6 \ dm^{3}$,$P_{ex} = 3 \ atm$.
The formula for work done against constant external pressure is $W = -P_{ex} \Delta V$.
$\Delta V = V_{2} - V_{1} = 6 \ dm^{3} - 4 \ dm^{3} = 2 \ dm^{3} = 2 \ L$.
$W = -3 \ atm \times 2 \ L = -6 \ L \cdot atm$.
Since $1 \ L \cdot atm = 101.3 \ J$,we have $W = -6 \times 101.3 \ J = -607.8 \ J$.

$W = nRT \ln\left(\frac{V_2}{V_1}\right)$
Given:
$W = 5.187 \ kJ = 5187 \ J$
$V_1 = 10 \ m^3$
$V_2 = 20 \ m^3$
$T = 300 \ K$
$R = 8.314 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
Substituting the values:
$5187 = n \times 8.314 \times 300 \times \ln\left(\frac{20}{10}\right)$
$5187 = n \times 8.314 \times 300 \times 0.6931$
$5187 = n \times 1728.5$
$n = \frac{5187}{1728.5} \approx 3$
Therefore,the number of moles of gas used is $3$.

Solution

(A) The work done during the compression of a gas against a constant external pressure is given by the formula: $W = -P_{ext} \Delta V$.
Given:
$P_{ext} = 100 \ kPa = 10^{5} \ Pa$
$V_{initial} = 5 \ m^{3}$
$V_{final} = 2.5 \ m^{3}$
$\Delta V = V_{final} - V_{initial} = 2.5 \ m^{3} - 5 \ m^{3} = -2.5 \ m^{3}$
Substituting the values:
$W = -(10^{5} \ Pa) \times (-2.5 \ m^{3})$
$W = 2.5 \times 10^{5} \ J$
$W = 250,000 \ J = 250 \ kJ$.
Since the gas is compressed, work is done on the system, resulting in a positive value.

A
$-34.58$
B
$3.458$
C
$-1.728$
D
$-3.458$

Solution

(D) Given: $n = 2 \text{ mol}$,$V_{1} = 5 \text{ m}^{3}$,$V_{2} = 10 \text{ m}^{3}$,$T = 300 \text{ K}$,$R = 8.314 \text{ J K}^{-1} \text{ mol}^{-1}$.
For an isothermal reversible expansion,the work done is given by the formula: $W = -2.303 nRT \log_{10} \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}$.
Substituting the values: $W = -2.303 \times 2 \times 8.314 \times 300 \times \log_{10} \frac{10}{5}$.
$W = -2.303 \times 2 \times 8.314 \times 300 \times \log_{10} 2$.
Since $\log_{10} 2 \approx 0.3010$,we get: $W = -2.303 \times 2 \times 8.314 \times 300 \times 0.3010$.
$W \approx -3457.97 \text{ J} = -3.458 \text{ kJ}$.

$\Delta U = -0.5 \ J, q = -500 \ J$
B
$q = -500 \ J, \Delta U = 0$
C
$q = 500 \ J, w = 0$
D
$w = 500 \ J, \Delta U = 0$

(C) Given: $V_{1} = 10 \ m^{3}$,$V_{2} = 20 \ m^{3}$,$T = 300 \ K$,$W = -5.187 \ kJ = -5187 \ J$.
For an isothermal reversible expansion,the work done is given by the formula:
$W = -2.303 \ nRT \log_{10} \left(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}\right)$
Substituting the values:
$-5187 = -2.303 \times n \times 8.314 \times 300 \times \log_{10} \left(\frac{20}{10}\right)$
$-5187 = -2.303 \times n \times 8.314 \times 300 \times 0.3010$
$n = \frac{5187}{2.303 \times 8.314 \times 300 \times 0.3010}$
$n = \frac{5187}{1729.0} \approx 3 \ mol$.

$2.5 \ kJ$ of work is done on the system and it releases $1500 \ J$ of heat. What is the change in internal energy (in $J$)?
A
$1000$
B
$4000$
C
$2500$
D
$1500$

Solution

(A) According to the first law of thermodynamics,$\Delta U = q + w$.
Here,work is done on the system,so $w = +2.5 \ kJ = +2500 \ J$.
The system releases heat,so $q = -1500 \ J$.
Therefore,$\Delta U = -1500 \ J + 2500 \ J = 1000 \ J$.

A
$27.50 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
B
$48.07 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
C
$51.08 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
D
$39.06 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

Given:
$\Delta_{fus} H = 6.01 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$\Delta_{vap} H = 45.07 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
For the process $H_2O_{(s)} \rightarrow H_2O_{(g)}$ at $0^{\circ}C$:
$\Delta_{sub} H = \Delta_{fus} H + \Delta_{vap} H$
$\Delta_{sub} H = 6.01 \ kJ \ mol^{-1} + 45.07 \ kJ \ mol^{-1} = 51.08 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$

B
$N_{2(g)} + \frac{3}{2} O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow N_{2}O_{3(g)}$
C
$CH_{4(g)} + 2 Cl_{2(g)} \longrightarrow CH_{2}Cl_{2(g)} + 2 HCl_{(g)}$
D
$CO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow CO_{2(g)}$

Solution

(A) The standard enthalpy of formation,$\Delta_{f} H^{\circ}$,is defined as the enthalpy change when $1 \text{ mole}$ of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states.
For $\Delta_{f} H^{\circ} = \Delta H^{\circ}$,the reaction must form exactly $1 \text{ mole}$ of the product from its elements in their standard states.
In option $A$,$H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow H_{2}O_{(l)}$ represents the formation of $1 \text{ mole}$ of liquid water from its elements $H_2$ and $O_2$ in their standard states,thus $\Delta_{f} H^{\circ} = \Delta H^{\circ}$.

Which of the following equations is correct for the heat of sublimation?
A
$\Delta_{vap} H = \Delta_{sub} H + \Delta_{fus} H$
B
$\Delta_{sub} H = \Delta_{fus} H - \Delta_{vap} H$
C
$\Delta_{fus} H = \Delta_{sub} H \times \Delta_{vap} H$
D
$\Delta_{sub} H = \Delta_{fus} H + \Delta_{vap} H$

Solution

(D) Sublimation is the process of direct conversion of a solid into a gas.
According to Hess's Law,the enthalpy change for a process is the same whether it occurs in one step or multiple steps.
Solid to gas can be represented as:
$1. \text{Solid} \rightarrow \text{Liquid} \quad (\Delta_{fus} H)$
$2. \text{Liquid} \rightarrow \text{Gas} \quad (\Delta_{vap} H)$
Therefore,the total enthalpy change for sublimation is the sum of the enthalpy of fusion and the enthalpy of vaporization:
$\Delta_{sub} H = \Delta_{fus} H + \Delta_{vap} H$.

A
$929 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
B
$251 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
C
$427 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
D
$678 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$

Solution

(C) Average bond enthalpy is the mean of the bond dissociation enthalpies of all bonds of the same type.
For water $(H_2O)$,the average bond enthalpy is given by $\Delta H_{avg} = \frac{\Delta H_1 + \Delta H_2}{2}$.
Given $\Delta H_{avg} = 464.5 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$ and $\Delta H_1 = 502 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $464.5 = \frac{502 + \Delta H_2}{2}$.
$929 = 502 + \Delta H_2$.
$\Delta H_2 = 929 - 502 = 427 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$.

A
$\Delta H = \Delta U - 2 RT$
B
$\Delta H = \Delta U - RT$
C
$\Delta H = \Delta U + 2 RT$
D
$\Delta H = \Delta U + RT$

Solution

(B) The relationship between enthalpy change $(\Delta H)$ and internal energy change $(\Delta U)$ is given by the equation: $\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta n_g RT$.
For the reaction: $2 SO_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2 SO_{3(g)}$.
The change in the number of moles of gaseous species is calculated as: $\Delta n_g = \sum n_{p(g)} - \sum n_{r(g)}$.
$\Delta n_g = 2 - (2 + 1) = 2 - 3 = -1$.
Substituting this value into the equation,we get: $\Delta H = \Delta U + (-1) RT$.
Therefore,$\Delta H = \Delta U - RT$.

B
$-1632 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
C
$-6728 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
D
$-672.8 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The combustion reaction of benzene is:
$C_6H_{6(l)} + \frac{15}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 6 CO_{2(g)} + 3 H_2O_{(l)}$
The change in the number of gaseous moles is $\Delta n_g = n_{p(g)} - n_{r(g)} = 6 - 7.5 = -1.5$.
Given: $\Delta H = -3268 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,$T = 298 \ K$,$R = 8.314 \times 10^{-3} \ kJ \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$.
The relationship between enthalpy change and internal energy change is $\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta n_g RT$.
Rearranging for internal energy change (heat of combustion at constant volume): $\Delta U = \Delta H - \Delta n_g RT$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta U = -3268 - (-1.5 \times 8.314 \times 10^{-3} \times 298)$.
$\Delta U = -3268 + 3.716 = -3264.284 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
Thus,the heat of combustion at constant volume is approximately $-3264.2 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.

A
$2x \ kJ$
B
$\frac{x}{2} \ kJ$
C
$4x \ kJ$
D

Solution

(A) The molar mass of $O_2$ is $32 \ g/mol$.
Given mass of $O_2$ is $16 \ g$.
Number of moles of $O_2 = \frac{16 \ g}{32 \ g/mol} = 0.5 \ mol$.
Energy required to dissociate $0.5 \ mol$ of $O_2$ is $x \ kJ$.
Bond enthalpy is defined as the energy required to dissociate $1 \ mol$ of bonds.
Energy required for $1 \ mol$ of $O_2 = \frac{x \ kJ}{0.5 \ mol} = 2x \ kJ/mol$.
Therefore,the bond enthalpy of $O=O$ bond is $2x \ kJ$.

Calculate the change in the number of moles of gaseous species,$\Delta n_g = \sum n_{g(products)} - \sum n_{g(reactants)}$
$\Delta n_g = (2 + 1) - 2 = 1$

A
$-1326.0$
B
$-4188.0$
C

D
$-2778.0$

Solution

(C) The target reaction is the hydration of ethene: $C_2H_{4_{(g)}} + H_2O_{(l)} \longrightarrow C_2H_5OH_{(l)}$.
We can obtain this by subtracting equation $(i)$ from equation $(ii)$:
$(ii) - (i): (C_2H_{4_{(g)}} + 3O_{2_{(g)}}) - (C_2H_5OH_{(l)} + 3O_{2_{(g)}})$ $\longrightarrow (2CO_{2_{(g)}} + 2H_2O_{(l)}) - (2CO_{2_{(g)}} + 3H_2O_{(l)})$
This simplifies to: $C_2H_{4_{(g)}} - C_2H_5OH_{(l)} \longrightarrow -H_2O_{(l)}$,which rearranges to $C_2H_{4_{(g)}} + H_2O_{(l)} \longrightarrow C_2H_5OH_{(l)}$.

A
$72.28$
B

$102.8$
D
$49.80$

Solution

(B) The balanced chemical equation is: $2ClF_{(g)} + O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow Cl_2O_{(g)} + OF_{2(g)}$.
Given that $6.0 \ g$ of $O_2$ corresponds to $n = \frac{6.0 \ g}{32.0 \ g/mol} = 0.1875 \ mol$ of $O_2$.
The heat absorbed for $0.1875 \ mol$ of $O_2$ is $\Delta H = +38.55 \ kJ$.
The standard enthalpy of reaction $(\Delta H^0)$ is defined for the reaction as written,which involves $1 \ mol$ of $O_2$.

$H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow H_{2}O_{(\ell)} \quad \Delta H_{f}^{0} = -286 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
This means $1 \ mol$ of $H_{2}O$ $(18 \ g)$ releases $286 \ kJ$ of energy.
Given mass of water $= 1800 \ mg = 1.8 \ g$.
Number of moles of $H_{2}O = \frac{1.8 \ g}{18 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.1 \ mol$.

B
$2334 \ kJ \text{ mol}^{-1}$
C
$946 \ kJ \text{ mol}^{-1}$
D

Solution

(C) The enthalpy change of a reaction is given by the sum of bond enthalpies of reactants minus the sum of bond enthalpies of products:
$\Delta H^{\circ} = \sum \Delta H^{\circ}_{(\text{reactants})} - \sum \Delta H^{\circ}_{(\text{products})}$
For the reaction $N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 2NH_{3(g)}$:
$\Delta H^{\circ} = [\Delta H^{\circ}_{(N \equiv N)} + 3 \Delta H^{\circ}_{(H-H)}] - [6 \Delta H^{\circ}_{(N-H)}]$
Substituting the given values:
$-83 = \Delta H^{\circ}_{(N \equiv N)} + 3(435) - 6(389)$
$-83 = \Delta H^{\circ}_{(N \equiv N)} + 1305 - 2334$

A
$1758$
B
$2344$
C
$6600$

Solution

(A) The chemical formula of acetaldehyde is $CH_3CHO$. The molar mass of $CH_3CHO = (2 \times 12) + (4 \times 1) + 16 = 44 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Given that the heat of combustion for $1 \ mol$ $(44 \ g)$ of $CH_3CHO$ is $-1172 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
For $66 \ g$ of $CH_3CHO$,the number of moles $n = \frac{66 \ g}{44 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 1.5 \ mol$.
The heat liberated = $n \times \Delta H = 1.5 \ mol \times 1172 \ kJ \ mol^{-1} = 1758 \ kJ$.

Solution

(D) For a first order reaction,the rate constant $k$ is given by $k = \frac{2.303}{t} \log_{10} \frac{[A]_0}{[A]_t}$.
Given that $75 \%$ is completed in $60 \ min$,the remaining concentration $[A]_t$ is $100 - 75 = 25 \%$ of $[A]_0$.
$k = \frac{2.303}{60} \log_{10} \frac{100}{25} = \frac{2.303}{60} \log_{10} 4 = \frac{2.303 \times 0.6020}{60} \approx 0.0231 \ min^{-1}$.
The time required for $50 \%$ completion is the half-life $t_{1/2}$.

Which among the following is correct when energy of activation,$E_a$ of the catalyzed reaction decreases at constant temperature and for same concentration?
A
$E_a / RT$ decreases
B
$K$ decreases
C
$e^{-E_a / RT}$ decreases
D
$-E_a / RT$ decreases

Solution

(A) According to the Arrhenius equation,the rate constant $K$ is given by $K = A e^{-E_a / RT}$.
When the activation energy $E_a$ decreases at a constant temperature $T$,the term $E_a / RT$ decreases.
Consequently,the exponent $-E_a / RT$ increases (becomes less negative).
Since the exponential function $e^x$ is an increasing function,$e^{-E_a / RT}$ increases,leading to an increase in the rate constant $K$.
Therefore,the term $E_a / RT$ decreases.

Solution

(A) The alkaline hydrolysis of tert-butyl bromide with aqueous alkali such as $NaOH$ or $KOH$ follows an $SN^1$ mechanism.
This is a two-step process:
Step $1$: $(CH_3)_3C-Br \rightarrow (CH_3)_3C^+ + Br^-$ (Slow,rate-determining step)

What is the effective atomic number $(EAN)$ of $Fe$ in $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}$? (Atomic number of $Fe = 26$)
A
$34$
B
$26$
C
$36$
D
$35$

Solution

(C) The effective atomic number $(EAN)$ is calculated using the formula: $EAN = Z - X + Y$,where $Z$ is the atomic number of the metal,$X$ is the oxidation state of the metal,and $Y$ is the number of electrons donated by the ligands.
For $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}$:
$Z = 26$ (for $Fe$).
Let the oxidation state of $Fe$ be $x$. Then $x + 6(-1) = -4$,which gives $x = +2$. So,$X = 2$.
Since $CN^-$ is a monodentate ligand,$6$ ligands donate $6 \times 2 = 12$ electrons. So,$Y = 12$.
$EAN = 26 - 2 + 12 = 36$.

Which among the following coordination compounds does not have a coordination number equal to the number of ligands?
A
$[Pt(NH_3)_6]^{4+}$
B
$[Co(en)_3]^{3+}$
C
$[Cu(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$
D
$[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$

Solution

(B) The coordination number is defined as the total number of sigma bonds formed by the central metal atom with the ligands.
For monodentate ligands,the coordination number equals the number of ligands.
For polydentate ligands,the coordination number is the number of ligands multiplied by their denticity.
In $[Co(en)_3]^{3+}$,the ligand $en$ (ethylenediamine) is a bidentate ligand.
Therefore,the number of ligands is $3$,but the coordination number is $3 \times 2 = 6$.
Thus,the coordination number is not equal to the number of ligands.

In this complex,the central metal ion is $Co^{3+}$.
The coordination number of $Co$ is $6$ (since there are $6$ $NH_3$ ligands).
The oxidation state of $Co$ is $+3$.
Since all ligands are the same $(NH_3)$,it is a homoleptic complex.
It is a cationic complex because the complex ion is $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$.
Therefore,the statement that the oxidation state of cobalt is $+3$ is true.

A
$[Zn(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$
B
$[Cu(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$
C
$[Pt(NH_3)_6]^{4+}$
D
$[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}$

Solution

(B) The $EAN$ (Effective Atomic Number) rule states that the total number of electrons around the central metal ion should equal the atomic number of the next noble gas.
$EAN = Z - \text{oxidation state} + 2 \times (\text{coordination number})$.
For $A: [Zn(NH_3)_4]^{2+}: EAN = 30 - 2 + 8 = 36$ (Obeys rule).
For $B: [Cu(NH_3)_4]^{2+}: EAN = 29 - 2 + 8 = 35$ (Does $NOT$ obey rule).
For $C: [Pt(NH_3)_6]^{4+}: EAN = 78 - 4 + 12 = 86$ (Obeys rule).
For $D: [Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}: EAN = 26 - 2 + 12 = 36$ (Obeys rule).
Therefore,the complex that does not obey the $EAN$ rule is $[Cu(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$.

(D) The name of the coordination compound is Barium tetrachlorocuprate$(II)$.
$1$. The cation is Barium,which is $Ba^{2+}$.
$2$. The anion is the coordination entity tetrachlorocuprate$(II)$.
$3$. 'Tetra' indicates four chloride ligands $(Cl^-)$,and 'cuprate$(II)$' indicates copper in the $+2$ oxidation state.
$4$. The charge on the complex ion $[CuCl_4]$ is calculated as: $x + 4(-1) = -2$,so $x = +2$. Thus,the complex ion is $[CuCl_4]^{2-}$.
$5$. Combining the cation $Ba^{2+}$ and the anion $[CuCl_4]^{2-}$,the formula is $Ba[CuCl_4]$.

Which coordination compound from the following has a net negative charge on the complex ion?
A
Tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt$(III)$ chloride
B
Potassium trioxalatoaluminate$(III)$
C
Tetracarbonylnickel$(0)$
D
Diamminesilver$(I)$ chloride

Solution

(B) Let us analyze the charge on the complex ion for each option:
$A$: $[Co(en)_{3}]Cl_{3} \rightarrow [Co(en)_{3}]^{3+} + 3Cl^{-}$. The complex ion has a $+3$ charge.
$B$: $K_{3}[Al(C_{2}O_{4})_{3}] \rightarrow 3K^{+} + [Al(C_{2}O_{4})_{3}]^{3-}$. The complex ion has a $-3$ charge.
$C$: $[Ni(CO)_{4}]$ is a neutral complex with $0$ charge.
$D$: $[Ag(NH_{3})_{2}]Cl \rightarrow [Ag(NH_{3})_{2}]^{+} + Cl^{-}$. The complex ion has a $+1$ charge.
Therefore,the compound with a net negative charge on the complex ion is Potassium trioxalatoaluminate$(III)$.
