(i) The formation of rust requires both oxygen and water. Since it is an electrochemical redox process, it requires an anode and cathode in different places on the iron.
(ii) The iron surface and a droplet of water on the surface form a tiny galvanic cell.
(iii) The region enclosed by water is exposed to low amount of oxygen and it acts as the anode.
(iv) The remaining area has high amount of oxygen and it act a cathode. So an electro chemical cell is formed. Corrosion occurs at the anode i.e., in the region enclosed by the water.
Anode (oxidation)Iron dissolve in the andoe region:
\({ 2Fe }_{ (s) }\rightarrow { 2Fe }_{ (aq) }^{ 2+ }+{ 4e }^{ - }\) Eo = 0.44V
The electrons move through the iron metal from the anode to the cathode area where the oxygen dissolved in water, is reduced to water.
Cathode (reduction):
The reaction of atmospheric carbon dioxide with water gives carbonic acid which furnishes the H+ ions for reduction.
\({ O }_{ 2(g) }+{ 4H }_{ (aq) }^{ + }+{ 4e }^{ - }\rightarrow { 2H }_{ 2 }O(l)\) Eo = 1.23 V
The electrical circuit is completed by the migration of ions through water droplet.
The overall redox reactions is,
\({ 2Fe }_{ (s) }+{ O }_{ 2(g) }+{ 4H }_{ (aq) }^{ + }\rightarrow { 2Fe }_{ (aq) }^{ 2+ }+{ 2H }_{ 2 }O(l)\) Eo = 0.444 + 1.23 = 1.67V
The positive emf value indicates that the reaction is spontaneous
Fe2+ ions are further oxidised to Fe3+ which on further reaction with oxygen to form rust.
\({ 4Fe }_{ (Aq) }^{ 2+ }+{ O }_{ 2(g) }+{ 4H }_{ (aq) }^{ + }\rightarrow { 4Fe }_{ (aq) }^{ 2+ }+{ 2H }_{ 2 }O(l)\)

Degree if dissociation \(\alpha =\sqrt { \frac { K_{ a } }{ C } } ,C\alpha =\sqrt { { K }_{ a }.C } \)
∴ \(pOH=\log\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { { K }_{ b }.C } } =\log\frac { { 10 }^{ 3 } }{ \sqrt { 1.75\times { 10 }^{ -5 }\times .1 } } \)
\(=\log\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 1.75\times { 10 }^{ -6 } } } =\log\frac { { 10 }^{ 3 } }{ \sqrt { 1.75 } } \)
\(=3-\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \log1.75\)
\(=3-\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times 0.2430=2.8785\)
pH = 14 - pOH
∴ pH = 14 - 2.8785 = 11.1215
Alternating,
\(\left[ { H }^{ - } \right] =\sqrt { { K }_{ b }\times C } \)
\(=\sqrt { 1.75\times { 10 }^{ -5 }\times 0.1 } =\sqrt { 1.75\times { { 10 }^{ -6 } } } \)
= 1.322 x 10-3
∴ pOH = - log [H+] = - log (1.323 x 10-3)
3 - 0.1216 = 2.8784
∴ pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.8784 = 11.1216
20.
HCI ⟶ H+ + Cl-. HCI is a strong acid.
[H+] from HCI is very much greater than [H+] from water which is 1 x 10-7 M.
∴ [H+] = [HCI] = 0.001 M
∴ pH = -log (0.001) = 3.0
∴ That is acidic solution.
21.
22.
Given data: Time taken for 25% completion of the reaction = 100 mins
a = 100; x = 25 and a - x = 75; t = 100min
Formula: \(k=\frac { 2.303 }{ t } \log { \frac { a }{ a-x } } ;{ t }_{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } }=\frac { 0.693 }{ k } \)
Solution:
\(k=\frac { 2.303 }{ 100 } \log\frac { 100 }{ 100-25 } \)
\(=\frac { 2.303 }{ 100 } \log\frac { 100 }{ 75 } =\frac { 2.303 }{ 100 } \log\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \)
\(=\frac { 2.303 }{ 100 } \times 0.1249\)
Rate constant(k) = 2.8773 x 10-3 min-1
\({ t }_{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } }=\frac { 0.693 }{ k } =\frac { 0.693 }{ 2.8773\times { 10 }^{ -3 }{ ,min }^{ -1 } } \)
\(=\frac { 693 }{ 2.8773 } =240.85\)
Half-life period (t1/2) = 240.85 minutes
23.
Rate = k [x]2 = ka2
[x] = a mol-1
If the concentration of x is in cross three time, then
(x) = 3a mol L-1
Rate = R(3a)2 = 9 ka2
Hence, the rate of formation will increase by 9 times.
24.
(i) The first transition metal Scandium exhibits only +3 oxidation state, but all other transition elements exhibit variable oxidation states by loosing electrons from (n-1)d orbital and ns orbital as the energy difference between them is very small.
(ii) At the beginning of the series, +3 oxidation state is stable but towards the end +2 oxidation state becomes stable.
(iii) The number of oxidation states increases with the number of electrons available, and it decreases as the number of paired electrons increases.
(iv) Hence, the first and last elements show less number of oxidation states and the middle elements with more number of oxidation states.
(v) For example, the first element Sc has only one oxidation state +3; the middle element Mn has six different oxidation states from +2 to +7. The last element Cu shows +1 and +2 oxidation states only.
(vi) The relative stability of different oxidation - states of 3d metals is correlated with the extra stability of half filled and fully filled electronic configurations. Example: Mn2+(3d5) is more stable than Mn4+(3d3).

Hence, compound B is phosphorus trichloride.
(iii) PCl3 on hydrolysis gives phosphorus acid H3PO3, which is dibasic acid,
\(\underset { (B) }{ { PCl }_{ 3 } } +3{ H }_{ 2 }O\longrightarrow { 3HCl }+\underset { (C) }{ { H }_{ 3 }{ PO }_{ 3 } } \)
Hence, compound C is phosphorus acid.

\(\underset { (c) }{ { 4H }_{ 3 }{ PO }_{ 3 } } \overset { \Delta }{ \longrightarrow } { PH }_{ 3 }+\underset { (b) }{ { 3H }_{ 3 }{ PO }_{ 4 } } \)
Phosphoric acid is a tribasic acid. Hence, compound D is phosphoric acid.
Thus A = Phosphorus
B = Phosphorus trichloride
C = Phosphorus acid
D = Phosphoric acid

Zone refining:
This method is employed for preparing highly pure metal (such as silicon, tellurium, germanium), which are used as semiconductors. It is based on the principle that melting point of a substance is lowered by the presence of impurities. Consequently, when an impure molten metal is cooled, crystals of the pure metal are solidified, and the impurities remain behind the remaining metal.
The process consists In casting the impure metal in the form of a bar. A circular heater fitted around this bar is slowly moved longitudinally from one end to the other. At the heated zone, the bar melts, and as the heater moves on, pure metal crystallizes, while the impurities pass into the adjacent molten part In this way, the impurities are swept from one end of the bar to the other. By repeating the process, ultra pure metal can be obtained.

(i) The impure nickel is heated in a stream of carbon monoxide at around 350 K.
(ii) The nickel reacts with the CO to form a highly volatile nickel tetracarbonyl.
(iii) The solid impurities are left behind

Valance bond theory helps us to visualize the bonding in complexes. However, it has limitations as mentioned above. Hence Crystal Field Theory to explain some of the properties, like colour, magnetic behavior, etc., This theory I was originally used to explain the nature of bonding in ionic crystals. Later on, it is used to explain the properties of transition metals and their complexes. The salient features of this theory are as follows.
(i) Crystal Field Theory (CFT) assumes that the bond between the ligand and the central metal atom is purely ionic. i.e. the bond is formed due to the electrostatic attraction between the electron rich ligand and the electron deficient metal.
(ii) In the coordination compounds, the central metal atom/ion and the ligands are considered as point charges (in case of I charged metal ions or ligands) or electric dipoles (in case of neutral metal atoms or ligands).
(iii) According to crystal field theory, the complex formation is considered as the following series of hypothetical steps.
Step 1: In an isolated gaseous state, all the five d orbitals of the central metal ion are degenerate. Initially, the ligands form a spherical field of negative charge around the metal. In this filed, the energies of all the five d orbitals will increase due to the repulsion between the electrons of the metal and the ligand.
Step 2: The ligands are approaching the metal atom in actual bond directions. To illustrate this let us consider an octahedral field, in which the I central metal ion is located at the origin and the six ligands are coming from the +x, -x, +y, -y, +z and -z directions as shown below.
As shown in the figure, the orbitals lying along the axes dx2-y2 and dz2 orbitals will experience strong repulsion and raise in energy to a greater extent than the orbitals with lobes directed between the axes (dxy, dyz, and dzx). Thus the degenerate d orbitals now split into two sets and the process is called crystal field splitting.
Step 3: Up to this point the complex formation would not be favored. However, when the ligands approach further, there will be an attraction between the negatively charged electron and the positively charged metal ion, that results in a net decrease in energy. This decrease in energy is the driving force for the complex formation.
Crystal field splitting in octahedral complexes: During crystal field splitting in octahedral field, in order to maintain the average energy of the orbitals (barycentre) constant, the energy of the orbitals dx2-y2 and d z2 (represented as eg orbitals) will increase by 3/5 \({ \triangle }_{ o }\) while that of the other three orbitals dxy ' dyz and dzx (represented as t2g orbitals) decrease by 2/5 \({ \triangle }_{ o }\) , Here, \({ \triangle }_{ o }\) represents the crystal field splitting energy in the octahedral field.

(i) Every metal atom has two types of valencies Primary valency or ionisable valency Secondary valency or non ionisable valency
(ii) The primary valency corresponds to the oxidation state of the metal ion. It is always satisfied by negative ions.
(iii) Secondary valency corresponds to the coordination number of the metal ion or atom. It is satisfied by either negative ions or neutral molecules.
(iv) The molecules or ions that satisfy secondary valencies are called ligands.
(v) The ligands which satisfy secondary valencies must project in definite directions in space. So the secondary valencies are directional in nature whereas the primary valencies are non - directional in nature.
(vi) The ligands have unshared pair of electrons. These unshared pair of electrons are donated to central metal ion or atom in a compound. Such compounds are called coordination compounds.

Eg: [Co(NH)6]Cl3
Cl: primary valency (dotted lines)
NH3: secondary valency (solid lines).
Defects of Werner's theory
Werner's theory describes the structures of many co-ordination compounds successfully. However, it does not explain the magnetic and spectral properties.
