If a is the edge length of bcc unit cell and r is the radius of atom, then
edge not covered by atom = a = 2r.
In bcc, body diagonal = \(\sqrt { 3 } a\)
\(4r=\sqrt { 3 } a\)
or \(r=\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 4 } a\)
\(\therefore \) Edge not covered by atoms = \(a-2\times \frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 4 } a\)
= \(\frac { a\left( \frac { 2-\sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \right) }{ a } \)

01 M BaCI2 solution will have higher boiling point because of large number of particles on dissociation.
\(
\mathrm{NaCI} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}^{+}+\mathrm{CI}^{-}(2 \text { particles }) \\
\mathrm{BaCI}_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ba}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{CI}^{-}(3 \text { particles })
\)
6.
Due to low bond dissociation enthalpy, high electronegativity and large negative electron gain enthalpy halogens have a strong tendency to accept electrons and thus get reduced.
\({ X }_{ 2 }+2{ e }^{ - }\longrightarrow 2{ X }^{ - }\)
As a result, halogens act as strong oxidising agents. Their oxidising power, however, decreases from \({ F }_{ 2 }\) to \({ I }_{ 2 }\) as is evident from their electrode potentials :
\({ { E }^{ ° } }_{ { F }_{ 2 }/{ F }^{ - } }=+2.87,\ { { E }^{ ° } }_{ { Cl }_{ 2 }/{ Cl }^{ - } }=+1.36V\ ;\ { { E } }_{ { Br }_{ 2 }/{ Br }^{ - } }=+1.09V\ and\ { { E }^{ ° } }_{ { I }_{ 2 }/{ I }^{ - } }=+0.54V\)
Thus, \({ F }_{ 2 }\) is the strongest while \({ I }_{ 2 }\) is the weakest oxidising agent.

If RI is the rate of first reaction at 25°C, then as its temperature coefficient is 2, its rate at 35°C will be = 2 R1, at 45°C = 2 x 2 R1 = 4 R1 and at 55°C = 2 x 4 R1 = 8 R1
If R2.is the rate of the second reaction at 25°C, then as its temperature coefficient is 3, its rate at 35°C will be = 3 R2, at 45°C = 3 x 3 R2 = 9 R2 and at 55°C = 3 x 9 R2 = 27 R2
Also, we are given R1 = R2, i.e., at 25°C, the rates are equal.
