The overall redox reaction in Leclanche cell is
\( \mathrm{Zn}_{(\mathrm{s})}+2 \mathrm{NH}_{4 \text { (aq) }}^{+}+2 \mathrm{MnO}_{2(\mathrm{~s})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Zn}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{2+}+\mathrm{MnO}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3(\mathrm{~s})}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+2 \mathrm{NH}_{3} \)

(i) Purification of drinking water is activated by coagulation of suspended impurities in water by using alums containing \(\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\left(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \mathrm{Al}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3} \cdot 24 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)\) Alum has a negative charge and tends to disperse in water very fast.
(ii) The increased size as well as the lack of repelling charges cause the alum particles to settle down at the bottom or rise up and float in water. After the particles are neutralized, they clump together because of the London dispersive force which are part of vander Waal's forces. The weak inter molecular force arising from quantum induced instantaneous polarisation multi poles in molecules causes even non polar particles to attract each other due to the corelated movements of the electrons in interacting molecules. Then they settle down.

N2OS is more acidic than N2O3 because N2O3 is the anhydride of nitrous acid N2O3 dissolves in water to form the unstable acid.
\({ N }_{ 2 }{ O }_{ 3 }+{ H }_{ 2 }O\longrightarrow \underset { unstable }{ { 2HNO }_{ 2 } } \)
On the other hand, N2O5 is the anhydride of nitric acid N2O5 dissolves in water to form nitric acid
\({ N }_{ 2 }O_{ 5 }+{ H }_{ 2 }O\longrightarrow { { 2HNO }_{ 3 } }\)
N2O5 has higher acidic strength than N2O3. Acidic nature depends on oxidation number. Higher the oxidation number greater the tendency of gaining electron.
(ii) Thermal stability of hydrides decrease on moving down the group. This is due to the decrease in the bond dissociation enthalpy (H-E) of hydrides on moving down the group where E = O, S, Se, Te.
(iii) Hydration enthalpy is a measure of energy released when attractions are set up between positive or negative ions and water molecules. These attractions are stronger when the ion is smaller. Since F- ion is smaller than Cl- ion, F- ion process higher hydration enthalpy than Cl- ion.
42.
(i) The colour develops because of the presence of electrons in the 8 anionic sites.
(ii) These electron absorb energy from the visible region of radiation and get excited.
(iii) For example when crystals of NaCl are heated in an atmosphere of sodium vapours, the sodium atoms get deposited on the surface of the crystal and the deposited Na atoms.
(iv) During this process, the Na atoms on the surface lose electrons to form Na+ ions
(v) These electrons get excited by absorbing energy from the visible light and impart yellow colour to the crystals.

Metal carbonyls are classified in two different ways as described below Classification based on the number of metal atoms present.
a. Mononuclear carbonyls
These compounds contain only one metal atom. For example, [Ni(CO)4] - nickel tetracarbonyl is tetrahedral, [Fe(CO)5] - Iron pentacarbonyl is trigonal bipyramidal, and [Cr(CO)6] - Chromium hexacarbonyl is octahedral.
b. Polynuclear carbonyls
Metallic carbonyls containing two or more metal atoms are called polynuclear carbonyls. Polynuclear metal carbonyls may be Homonuclear [Co2(CO)8], [Mn2(CO)10], [Fe3 (CO)12] or heteronuclear [MnCo(CO)9], [MnRe(CO)10] etc.
