44) The unit of molar absorptivity is:
1. L mol1 cm1 2. L1 mol cm1 3. L mol cm1 4. L mol cm
Explanation:
Beer-Lambert law A = .c.lWhere A = absorbance
c = molar concentrationl = pathlength (in cm) = molar extinction coefficient or molar absorptiviy = A / cl
Hence the units are usually in M-1
cm-1
or L mol-1
cm-1
( A has no units: see below)As 1 liter = 1000 cm3, the unit may be sometimes cm2 mol-1, especially in old literature.(note: = pronounced as epsilon)
Additional information
Absorbance (A) = -log10
T = -log10
I /Io
(T = transmittance = I /Io
)Where I = intensity of the transmitted light
Io
= intensity of the initial incident light* Remember transmittance (T) is inversely related to absorbance (A)* is a is a measure of the amount of light absorbed per unit concentration at a givenwavelength.* is an intrinsic property of the compound;* The actual absorbance,A, of a sample is dependent on the pathlength l (in cm) and theconcentration c (molar conc.) of the species via the Beer-Lambert law,A = cl.* It is a limiting law. It is only valid for dilute solutions. At higher concentrations, theelectrostatic interactions between neighbouring molecules distort the energy levels whichcause deviation from the law.* Deviations also occur when the molecules undergo chemical change in solutions (this mayoccur due to change in concentration or pH).
eg., Yellow chromate andorange dichromate are in equilibrium with each other in aqueoussolution. The equilibrium shifts to the right if pH is decreased (when acid is added) and shifts
to the left if pH is increased (when base is added).

yellow orange
Hence the absorbance for this solution depends on the pH
Additional questions:
44.1) What is the concentration of a solution whose absorbance is 0.21 when placed in a tube
of path length 10 cm ( max = 245 nm and max = 31,500 M-1cm-1)
44.2) If the visible spectrum of [Ti(OH2)6]3+
has an absorbance maximum at 0.9 at 510 nm andthe spectrum was recorded on a 0.20 M solution in a 1.0 cm cell, what would be the value of

44.3) Transferrin is an iron-transport protein found in blood. It is colourless in the absence ofiron. Desferrioxamine B is an iron chelator used to treat patients suffering from iron overload.It is also colourless in the absence of iron. The following data was obtained in aqueous solu-tion using a 1.00 cm path length cell for both species when fully complexed with iron:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explain why?
45) Gelatin is added during polarographic measurements to:
1. reduce streaming motion of falling mercury drop
2. increase Id
3. increase E1/2
4. eliminate residual current
Explanation:
When a surfactants like gelatin, Triton X-100 are added to the solution, the streaming effectsat the drop surface are minimized, and the polarographic wave approaches the limiting current
smoothly.
Additional information:
* Polarography is the measurement of the current that flows in solution as a function of anapplied voltage. The electrode processes are studied by using two electrodes - onepolariz-able and one unpolarizable* Dropping Mercury Electrode (DME) is an example for polarizable working electrode usedin polarography.* A polarogram is a curve visualizing the processes occurring in the course of electrolyticpolarization of the DME.
* A polarographic wave or polarogram is obtained by applying voltage. This experiment em-ploys usually two methods of applying the voltage, a linear sweep (DC) and a differentialpulse.* Nowadays a Static Mercury Drop Electrode (SMDE) is used which provides a more sensi-tive measurement of the faradaic current than the more traditional DME.* One of the difficulties in evaluating a polarogram is the measured current oscillates perma-nently between a minimum and maximum value. This behavior is caused by the nonconstantelectrode surface area. Usually the current rises as the drop surface area grows, and decreasesas the drop falls.* Polarography differs from voltametry in that it employs the electrode (like DME) whosesurface is continuously renewed.
46) The element that shows both +3 and +4 oxidation states is:
1. Cerium 2. Promethium 3. Gadolinium 4. Holmium

Explanation:
Usually lanthanoids exhibit, +3 oxidations states. (why?)But some of them also exhibit +2 and +4 oxidation states due to stable half filled (4f7) orempty (4f0) or completely filled f-sublevel.Eg., Ce4+ has 4f0 configuration. -very stable
Eu2+ has 4f7 configuration. -very stableYb2+ has 4f14 configuration. - appreciably stable
Additional information:
* Ce4+ is a good oxidising agent as it can be reduced to Ce3+ easily. It can oxidize water also(Eo of Ce4+ /Ce3+ is +1.74 V), but very slowly. Hence Ce(IV) can be used as a good analyti-cal reagent in aqueous medium.* But Eu2+ is a reductant as it can be oxidized to Eu3+, which is the common oxidation stateof lantahnoids.* La3+, Ce4+ with 4f0 and Yb2+, Lu3+ with 4f14 configurations - are colorless and diamagnetic.
* Lanthanoids exhibit +3 oxidation states commonly because first three ionization enthalp-ies are small.* Both Ce and Eu can be separated easily from the rest of the lanthanoids due to theirdifferent chemical behaviour.
For example, Ce3+ can be easily oxidised to Ce4+ ion which being less basic than other Ln3+
undergoes hydrolysis easily. Hence Ce3+ (in a mixture of Ln3+) is oxidised by KMnO4
orbleaching powder to Ce4+ which can be precipitated as basic salt or hydroxide.

* Yttrium oxide-sulfide activated with europium is used as the redphosphor(?) in colorCRTs(Cathode Ray Tubes used in TVs).
A phosphor is a substance that exhibits the phenomenon of phosphorescence (sustainedglowing after exposure to energized particles such as electrons or ultraviolet photons).
Additional questions:
46.1) Which of the following carbonate-fluoride mineral contains all the lanthanoids?1) Monazite 2) Bastnasite 3) Pitch blende 4) Zirconite46.2) What is the difference between lanthanoids and lanthanides?46.3) Describe the ion exchange method of separation of lanthanoids.46.4) What is the principle involved in solvent extraction of lanthanoids by using tri-n-
butylphosphate?

There are four BHB bonds and also contains a BB bond. It is an arachno borane.Additional information:
* Nomenclature: Boranes are named as follows:
a) The Latin prefixes mono-, di-, tri-, etc. are used before "borane" to indicate the numberof boron atoms in the compound.b) Immediately following the "e" in "borane" the number of hydrogen atoms is placed inparentheses using Arabic numerals.Example: B

ber it should have five boron atoms (as n=5) occupying five vertices of polyhedron withseven vertices (as n+2=7) i.e., two vertices are missing. Hence its structure is derived frompentagonal bipyramidal structure.

4-
SnF4
acts as a Lewis acid as Tin (Sn) can expand its octet (due to presence of availableempty d-orbitals) and accepts electron pairs. BrF

And according to solvent system concept, the cation resulting from auto-dissiciation is acidand the anion resulting from auto-dissiociation is a base. Hence the solute which increasesconcentration of cation (BrF
2+)is an acid and which increases the concentration of anion
(BrF4-)is a base. Compare this analogy with H

49) The effective nuclear charge (Z*) for the 1s electron of8O according to Slaters rules
is nearly
1. 4.55
2. 3.45
3. 7.65
4. 5.451
Explanation:
According to Slaters rules Z* or Zeff
= Z - s = 8 - 0.3 = 7.7
Additional Information:
Slaters rules:
* In multi electron atoms the electrons in the outer shells experience less than the actualnuclear charge owing to shielding or screening of other intervening electrons.* This effective nuclear charge (Z* or Z
eff) is calculated by using following equation
Effective nuclear charge = Z* = Z - sWhere Z = atomic number
s = shielding or screening constant ( also represented by S or )* Slaters rules are used to provide a value to the shielding constant as follows.
* Firstly, the electrons are arranged in to a sequence of groups that keep s- and p- orbitalswith the same principal quantum number together, but otherwise progresses with the orbitalordering with increasing principal quantum number (ignore filling irregularities):
[1s] [2s,2p] [3s,3p] [3d] [4s,4p] [4d] [4f] [5s, 5p] [5d] etc.* Any electrons to the right of the electron of interest contributes no shielding. Only theelectrons left to the electron of interest contribute to the shielding constant.
* The shielding constant for each group is formed as the sum of the following contributions:1. An amount of 0.35 from each other electron within the same group except for the [1s]group, where the other electron contributes only 0.30.2. If the group is of the [s p] type, an amount of 0.85 from each electron with principalquantum number one less and an amount of 1.00 for each electron with an even smallerprincipal quantum number.3. If the group is of the [d] or [f], type, an amount of 1.00 for each electron with a smallerprincipal quantum number.
* For example, for the iron atom which has nuclear charge 26 and electronic configuration
1s2
2s2
2p6
3s2
3p6
3d6
4s2
the screening constant, and subsequently the effective nuclear chargefor each electron can be deduced asFor 4s: s = (1 x 0.35) + (14 x 0.85) + (10 x 1) = 22.25

Z* = 26 - 22.25 = 3.75
For 3d: s = (5 x 0.35) + 0 + (18 x 1) = 19.75Z* = 26 - 19.75 = 6.25
For 3s, 3p: s = (7 x 0.35) + (8 x 0.85) + (2 x 1) = 11.25

* Ir(CO)Cl(PPh3)
2is a square planar complex which is often referred to as Vaskas com-
pound. The oxidation state of Ir is +1. Co-ordination number is 4. (contains 16 VE)
* During oxidative addition (not simple addition) of O2 the oxidation state is changed to +3.The compound formed is Ir(CO)Cl(O2)(PPh
3)
2. It is octahedral (a little bit distorted), and
hence C.N is 6. (contains 18 VE)* The Dioxygen added is in peroxidic form (O
22-) and not in superoxidic form (O
2-).
* Therefore both oxidation state and coordination number are changed by 2 (oxidation statefrom +1 to +3 whereas C.N from 4 to 6).
Additional information:
* Vaskas complex is said to be co-ordinatively unsaturated as it contains 16 valenceelectrons in Iridium(I). Hence it can bind to ligands and expand its valence electrons to 18by undergoing oxidative additions. During this process, the oxidation number of Ir ischanged to +3.* The C-O stretching frequency is increased from 1967 cm-1 to greater than 2000 cm-1
during oxidative addition reactions. It is due to reduction of amount of-back bondingfrom Ir to C and at the same time strengthening of C-O bond. (Refer to Qtn: 51)* Remember, the Ir-C bond length is decreased and C-O bond length is increased duringoxidative addition.

2] and BF
3have zero dipole moments due to symmetrical structure and
as the individual bond moments are cancelled out by each other.* cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2] has dipole moment. The bond moments are not cancelled out and it isless symmetrical than trans isomer.* Remember, BF

Additional information:
* Dipole moment () is defined as the product of magnitude of charge( ) on either of thepoles (atoms) and the distance(d) between them.
= .d* It is a vector quantity. It is represented by an arrow pointing towards negative pole (asshown in above diagrams).* The dipole moment of a bond is called bond moment. The final dipole moment of amolecule is the vectorial addition of all the bond moments in it.* The unit of dipole moment is Debye (D) = 10-18 e.s.u cm
* Dipole moment is used to determine the ionic nature of a polar covalent bond.
experimental
theoretical
theoretical
% ionic character = x 100
iscalculated by assuming the bond is completely polar (ionic).
* For example, In HCl molecule, the observed dipole moment is 1.03 D and its bond lengthis 1.275. Assuming 100% ionic character, the charge developed on H and Cl atoms wouldbe 4.8 x 10-10e.s.u.Therefore, the theoretical dipole moment for 100% ionic character will be
theoretical = x d = 4.8 x 10-10
e.s.u x 1.275 x 10-8
cm= 6.12 x 10-18e.s.u.cm= 6.12 D (1D = 10-18 e.s.u. cm.)

1.03% ionic character = x 100 = x 100 = 16.83%

* It is also used to determine the shape of a molecule. Usually, the symmetrical moleculeshave zero dipole moment. For example CO
2has zero dipole moment as it has linear shape,
whereas SO2
has net dipole moment as it has angular structure.
* Bond angle between two bonds can be calculated if their bond moments and resultantdipole moment are known. Following simplified equation can be used when the two bondsare same.
net dipole moment = 2(bond moment) x cos

44.4) The absorption bands of many transition metal ions in aqueous solutions are broad &strongly influenced by the chemical environment, because of the spatial shape & orientationof the d-orbitals. Such bands are rarely intense enough (low molar absorptivity) to usedirectly for quantitative analysis. Hence the molar absorptivity is greatly augmented bycomplexing the metal ion with some suitable organic chelating agent to produce acharge-transfer complex.Eg., 1,10-phenanthroline improves the molar absorptivity of Fe(II).

Above complex is commonly known as ferroinand also used as1) redox indicator (reduced ferrous form is deep red, oxidised ferric form is light blue)2) used as a cell permeable inhibitor for metalloproteases in cell biology.
Wait!
Lanthanides & actinides having incomplete f-levels & give rise to absorption bands in asimilar fashion to transition metals. In contrast to transition metal ion spectra, those of thelanthanides/actinides contain narrow, well-defined bands which are little affected by ligands& the local chemical environment. But still the peaks are less intense.(Ofcourse 4f-4ftransitions are sharp and not of 4f-5d.)
46.1) Bastnasite mainly represented by (Ce,La,Y)CO3F contains all the lanthanoids, whereas
Monazite(Phosphate mineral of Thorium and other rare earths) contains lighter ones.
46.2) Fifteen elements from La-Lu are lanthanoids.
Whereas fourteen elements Ce-Lu without lanthanum are lanthanides (meaning the ele-ments similar to lanthanum).
46.3) The ore (monazite or bastnasite) is dissolved in HCl and converted to a solution of LnCl3.Lanthanoids in this solution are separated by ion exchange as follows.

46.4) The solubility of Ln3+ ions in tri-n-butylphosphate, (BunO)3PO , solvent increases with
increase in atomic weight of Ln. Thus the separation of lanthanoids is achieved on largescale by extracting an aqueous solution containing mixture of nitrates of lanthanoids withthe solvent tri-n-butylphosphate.

49.3) The IE for lithium is lower for two reasons;1) The average distance from the nucleus for a 2s electron is greater than that of a 1selectron;
2) The 2s1
electron in lithium is shielded from the nuclear attraction (as well as repelled) bythe inner core electrons, so the valence electron is easily removed.

Whereas naphthalene cannot be stable in this type of zwitter ionic form with charge separa-tion. Only non polar neutral forms are aromatic and stable. Hence it is non polar.
Note: Remember, in writing resonace structures, the structure with charge separation isconsidered to be less stable. And more over, in case of Naphthalene, this form will notsatisfy Huckels rule and anti-aromatic and hence with least stability.
But in case of azulene, resonance form with charge separation becomes more important asthe aromatic nature out weighs this factor.
