Question 34.
(a) (i) How will you purify metals by using iodine?(3)
(ii) Boron does not react directly with hydrogen. Suggest one method to
prepare diborane from BF3(2)
[OR]
(b) (i) Write the reason for the anomalous behaviour of Nitrogen. (3)
(ii) Mn2+ is more stable than Mn4+. Why? (2)
Answer:
(a) (i) This method is based on the thermal decomposition of metal compounds which lead to the formation of pure metals. Titanium and zirconium can be purified using this method. For example, the impure titanium metal is heated in an evacuated vessel with iodine at a temperature of 550 K to form the volatile titanium tetra-iodide.( TiI4 ). The impurities are left behind, as they do not react with iodine.
Ti(s) + 2I2(s) → TiI4 (vapour)

The volatile titanium tetraiodide vapour is passed over a tungsten filament at a
temperature around I 800 K. The titanium tetraiodide is decomposed and pure titanium
is deposited on the filament. The iodine is reused.
TiI4 (vapour) ) → Ti(s) +2I2(s)

(ii) Boron does not react directly with hydrogen. However it forms a variety of hydrides
called boranes. Treatment of gaseous boron triuluoride with sodium hydride around
450 K gives diborane.

Question 36.
(a) (i) Derive the relation between pH and pOH (3)
(ii) Give three uses of emulsions.(2)
[OR]
(b) How would you measure the conductivity of ionic solutions? (5)
Answer:
(a) (i) pH = -log1o [H3O+] …………..(1)
pOH = -log1o [OH] ……..(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2),
pH + pOH = (-log1o[H3O+]) + (-log1o [OH])
= -[(log10tHO+]) + (logio [OfT])]
pH + pOH = -log10[H3O+] [OH ]
[H3O+] [OH] = Kw
∴ pH + pOH = – log1oKw
pH + pOH = pKw [pkw = -log1oKw]

At 25°C, the ionic product of water Kw =1 x 10-14.
pKw = -log1o10-14 = 14log1o10= 14
pKw = 14
∴ pH + pOH = 14 at 25°C.

  1. The cleansing action of soap is due to emulsions.
  2. It is used in the preparation of vanishing cream.
  3. It is used in the preparation of cold liver oil.

[OR]

(b) The conductivity of an electrolytic solution is determined by using a wheatstone bridge arrangement in which one resistance is replaced by a conductivity cell filled with the electrolytic solution of unknown conductivity.

In the measurement of specific resistance of a metallic wire, a DC power supply is used. Here AC is used for this measurement to prevent electrolysis. Because DC current through the conductivity cell leads to the electrolysis of the solution taken in the cell.

A wheatstone bridge is constituted using known resistances P,Q, a variable resistance S and conductivity cell. An AC source (550 Hz to 5 KHz) is connected between the junctions A and C.
A suitable detector is connected between the junctions B and D.
The variable resistance S is adjusted until the bridge is balanced and in this conditions, there is no current flow through the detector.
Tamil Nadu 12th Chemistry Model Question Paper 3 English Medium - 23
Under balanced condition
P/Q = R/S
∴ R = P/Q x S …………(1)
The resistance of the electrolytic solution (R) is calculated from the known resistance values P, Q and the measured S value using the equation (1).

Specific conductance (or) conductivity of an electrolyte can be calculated from the resistance value (R) using the following expression
\(\kappa=\frac{1}{R}\left[\frac{l}{A}\right]\)

The value of cell constant \(\frac{l}{A}\) is usually provided by the cell manufacturer. Alternatively the cell constant may be determined using KC1 solution whose concentration and specific conductance are known.
