1.
Aniline does not undergo Friedel - Craft's reaction:
Aniline does not undergo Friedel - Craft's reaction (alkylation and acetylation). Aniline is basic in nature and it donates its lone pair of electrons to the lewis acid AlCl3 to form an adduct which inhibits further electrophilic substitution reaction.
Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines:
This is due to resonance
Resonance Structure:
The stability of arene diazonium salt is due to the dispersal of the positive charge over the benzene ring.
pKb of aniline is more than that of methylamine:
pKb - methylamine -3.35
pKb - aniline -9.376
In aniline the lone pair of electrons on N - atom is delocalized over the benzene ring. So, the electron density on the N - atom decreases. In methylamine + 1 effect to CH3 group increases the electron density on the nitrogen atom Hence aniline is a weaker base than methylamine. Due to this, the pKb value for aniline is more than that of methylamine.
(iv) Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is preferred for synthesising primary amines:
In this method alkyl halides react with pottassium phthalimide to give pure primary amine by nucleophilic substitution. In contrast, Aniline (Aromatic primary amine) can not be prepared by this method because Aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with the anion formed by phthalimide. Therefore, this method used for the Aliphatic primary. amines only. Aryl halides do not undergo SN2 mechanism with the ion formed by the phthalimide.
(v) Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is not:
(a) Ethylamine is soluble in water, as it can form intermolecular H - bonds with water molecules. In aqueous solution, the substituted ammonium cation get stabilized not only by electron releasing (+I) effect of the alkyl group but also by solvation with water molecules. The greater the size of the ion, the lower will be the solvation.
(b) Amiline doesn't form H - bond with water to a very large extent due to the presence of a large hydrophobic -C6H5 group.
(vi) Amines are more basic than amides:
This is because, in amides, the carbonyl group is highly electro negative It has a greater power to attract the electrons towards it. It makes the lone pair of electrons on amide nitrogen (-CONH2) less available to accept a proton.
(vii) Although amino group is o - and p - directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions, aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m - nitro aniline:
In strong acid medium, aniline is protonated to form anilinium ion which is m - directing and hence m - nitro aniline is formed.
2.
(i) The dissociation of a weak acid (CH3COOH) is suppressed in the presence of a salt (CH3COONa) containing an ion common to the weak electrolyte. It is called the common ion effect.
(ii) Consider the dissociation of a weak acid, acetic acid whose ionisation is incomplete.
CH3COOH(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq)
(iii) If the salt sodium acetate with common ion CH3COO- is added to the above equilibrium, it dissociates completely increasing.
CH3COONa(aq)⟶Na+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq)
(iv) Hence, the overall concentration of CH3COO- is increased, and the acid dissociation equilibrium is disturbed.
(v) So, in order to maintain the equilibrium, the excess CH3COO- ions combines with H+ ions to produce much more unionized CH3COOH i.e, the equilibrium will shift towards the left. In other words, the dissociation of CH3COOH is suppressed.
3.
Most of the elements exhibit, two types of valence namely primary valence and secondary valence and each element tend to satisfy both the valences.
The primary valence is referred the oxidation state of the metal atom.
The secondary valence as the coordination number. For example, according to Werner, the primary and secondary valences of cobalt are 3 and 6 respectively.
The primary valence of a metal ions ae always satisfied by negative ions.
For example in the complex CoCI3.6NH3. The primary valence of Co is +3 and is satisfied by 3CI- ions.
The secondary valence is satisfied by negative ions, neutral molecules, positive ions or the combination of these.
For example, in CoCl3.6NH3 complex primary valence of cobalt +3 and it is satisfied by 3 CI-.
The secondary valence of cobalt is 6 and is satisfied by six neutral ammonia molecules. where as in CoCI6.NH3.
Secondary valence of Co = 5{It is satisfied five neutral molecules and a Cl- ion}
According to Werner, there are two spheres of attraction around a metal atom/ion in a complex.
The inner /coordination sphere:
The groups present in this sphere are firmly attached to the metal.
The outer sphere / ionisation sphere:
The groups present in this sphere are loosely bound to the central metal ion and hence can be separated into ions upon dissolving the complex in a suitable solvent.
The primary valencies are non-directional. while the secondary valencies are directional.
The geometry of the complex is determined by the special arrangement of the groups which satisfy the secondary valence.
| Secondary valence | Geometry |
| 4 | Tetrahedral / Square planar |
| 6 | Octahedral |
4.
Zone refining :
1. Zone refining method is based on the principles of fractional crystallisation.
2. When an impure metal is melted and allowed to solidify, the impurities will prefer to be in the molten region. In this process the impure metal is taken in the form of a rod.
3. One end of the rod is heated using a mobile induction heater which results in melting of the metal on that portion of the rod.
4. When the heater is slowly moved to the other end the pure metal crystallises while the impurities will move on to the adjacent molten zone.
5. As the heater moves further away, the molten zone containing impurities also moves along with it.
6. The process is repeated several times by moving the heater in the same direction again and again to get pure metal.
7. This process is carried out in an inert gas atmosphere to prevent the oxidation of metals.
8. Elements such as germanium (Ge), silicon (Si) and galium (Ga) that are used as semiconductor are refined using this process.
5.

\(k=A{ e }^{ -\left( \frac { Ea }{ RT } \right) }\)
\(k=1.6\times { 10 }^{ 13 }{ s }^{ -1 }{ e }^{ -\left( \frac { 200\times 10^3}{ 8.314 \times 600 } \right) }\)
\(k=1.6\times { 10 }^{ 13 }{ s }^{ -1 }{ e }^{ -\left( 40.09 \right) }\)
\(k=1.6\times { 10 }^{ 13 }\times 3.8\times { 10 }^{ -18 }{ s }^{ -1 }\)
\(k=6.08\times { 10 }^{ -5 }{ s }^{ -1 }\)

(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.

\(\kappa=\mathrm{C}\left(\frac{l}{\mathrm{~A}}\right)\) (or) k = 1/R.l/A
Where, C - Conductance
\(\frac{l}{A} \Rightarrow\) Cell constant (or)

\(h=\sqrt{K_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{K_{w}}{K_{a}K_{b}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1\times10^{-14}}{1.8\times10^{-5}\times{1.8\times10^{-5}}}}\)
\(= \frac{1 \times10^{-7}}{1.8\times10^{-5}}\)
=\(0.7453\times10^{-2}\)
\(pH=\frac{1}{2}pK_{w}+\frac{1}{2}pK_{a}-\frac{1}{2}pK_{b}\)

(iv) The high reduction potential of Mn3+/Mn2+ indicates Mn2+ is more stable than Mn3+.
(v) Mn3+ has a 3d4 configuration while that of Mn2+ is 3d5. The extra stability associated with a half filled d sub-shell makes the reduction of Mn3+ very feasible \(\left[\mathrm{E}^{\circ}=+1.51 \mathrm{~V}\right]\).
