CH3 CH (OH) CH2CH3
2R-OH+ 2Na ⟶ 2RONa + H2 ↑
2 moles of alcohol gives 1 mole of H2 which occupies 22.4 L at 273 K and 1 atm number of moles of alcohol
= 2 moles of R -OH/22.4L of H2 x 560 ml
= 0.05 moles
No of moles = mass/molar mass = m/M
= 3.7/0.05 = 74 g mol-1
General formula for (R-OH) Cn H2n + 1OH
n(12) + (2n + 1) (1) + 16 + 1 = 74

Lanthanoid contraction:
As we move across 4f series, the atomic and ionic radii of lanthanoids show gradual decrease with increase in atomic number. This decrease in ionic size is called lanthanoid contraction.
Effects (consequence) of lanthanoid contraction:
1. Basicity difference:
As we move from Ce3+ to Lu3+, the basic character of Ln3+ ions decrease. Due to the decrease in the size of Ln3+ ions, the ionic character of Ln -OH bond decreases (covalent character increases) which results in the decrease in the basicity.
2. Similarities among lanthanoid:
In the complete f - series only 10 pm decrease in atomic radii and 20 pm decrease in ionic radii is observed because of this very small change in radii of lanthanoids, their chemical properties are quite similar.
3. The elements of the second and third transition series resemble each other more closely than the elements of the first and second transition series.

[Mn(CN)6]3-
Mn - 3d3 4s2, Mn3+ - 3d4
Electronic configuration in isotropic field.
No of paired electrons (n'p) = 0
Therefore EIso = 0
High spin complex:
Ligand field: Electronic configuration: \(t_{2g}^{3}\) \(e_{g}^{1}\)
CFSE = {[3(-0.4) + 1(0.6)] \(\Delta\)o + 0 \(\times\) P} - 0
=(-1.2 + 0.6) \(\Delta\)o = -0.6 \(\times\) 38500
CFSE = -23,100 cm-1.
Low spin complex:
Ligand field: Electronic configuration: \(t_{2g}^{4}\) \(e_{g}^{0}\)
CFSE = {[4(-0.4) + 0(0.6)] \(\Delta\)0 + 1 \(\times\) P} - (0)
= (-1.6) \(\Delta\)0 + P
= - 0.6 \(\times\) 38,500 + 28,000
= -61,600 + 28,800
= -32,800 cm-1
High negative CFSE value indicates that low spin complex is favoured.

Mechanism:
This mechanism undergoes Saytzeff rule.

29.
[Ni (H2O)6]2+
It has two unpaired electrons. So there is d-d transition. Hence it is green coloured.
[Ni(CN)4]2-

| S. No | Double salts | Co-ordination compound |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | They usually contain two simple salt in equimolar proportions | The simple salts from which they are formed may or may not be in equimolar proportion. |
| 2. | They exists only in the solid state. In aqueous solution they dissociate completely into ions. | They exist in the solid state as well as in aqueous solution. This is because even in solution, the complex ion does not dissociate into ions. |
| 3. | They are ionic compounds and do not contain any co-ordinate bond. | They may or may not be ion but the complex part always contain coordinate bonds |
| 4. | The properties of the double salts are same as those of its constituent compounds. | The properties of the coordination compounds are different for its constituent bonds. |
| 5. | In a double salt, the metal ion show their normal valency. | In a coordinate compound the metal ion satisfies its two types of valence called primary & secondary valenices. |
| 6. | A double salt loses its identity and dissociates into its constitute simple ions in solution. | The complex ion does not lose its identity and never dissociate to give simple ions. |
| Example: FeSO4 (NH4)2 SO4.6H2O | Example: K4[Fe(CN)6), K3[Fe(SCN)6) |
31.
Copper exhibits +1 oxidation state most frequently Cu (29) - electronic configuration 3d104s1 copper ready to lose outer most one electron to attain the stable full filled electronic configuration. Hence it exhibits +1 oxidisation state.
32.
33.
As we move from left to right in a transition metal series, the ionization enthalpy increases as expected. This is due to increase in the nuclear charge corresponding to the filling of d electrons. The increase in first ionisation enthalpy with increase in atomic number along a particular series is not regular. The added electron enters (n-1) d orbital and the inner electrons act as a shield and decrease the effect of nuclear charge on valence ns electrons. Therefore, it leads to variation in the ionization energy value.
34.
(i) The actual position of Lanthanides in the periodic table is at group number 3 and period number 6. However, in the sixth period after lanthanum, the electrons are preferentially filled in inner 4f sub shell and these fourteen elements following lanthanum show similar chemical properties.
(ii) Similarly the fourteen elements following actinium resemble in their physical and chemical properties. Hence they are placed separately bottom of the modern periodic table.
35.
IUPAC defines transition metal as an element whose atom has an incomplete d-sub shell or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d-sub shell. They occupy the central position of the periodic table, between s and p-block elements.
Examples: Fe, Cu, Ag, Au
