Latha take some quantity of powder of a substance in a test tube. Heated it with spirit lamp. A gas was liberated. She sends the gas into another test tube. The colour of solution in the second test tube turned into milk white. Which substance was heated? Which gas is liberated? What was the solution taken in second test tube? Which type of chemical reactions involved the experiment?

Valence bond theory successfully explains the magnetic behaviour of complexes. The substances which contains unpaired electrons are paramagnetic and paramagnetic character increases as the number of unpaired electrons increases. Magnetic moment of a complex can be determined experimentally and by using formula sqrt(n(n+2)) and we can determine the number of unpaired electrons in it. This information is important in writing electronic structure of complex which in turn also useful in deciding the geometry of complex. Which of the following are diamagnetic ? 1) K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)] 2) K_(3)[Cr(CN)_(6)] 3) K_(3)[Co(CN)_(6)] 4) K_(2)[Ni(CN)_(4)]

Consider an ionic solid that dissolves in water according to the equation: M_(n)X_(m(s)) nM_(aq)^(m+)n + mX_(aq)^(n-) . The equilibrium constant for this reaction, K _(sp)=[M^(m+)]^(n) [X^(n-)]^(m) is known as the solubility product of M_(n), X_(m) . The form of this euquilibrium is important in understanding effects such as the influence of pH, complex fomation and common ion cffect. Equilibrium constant in solution should be written correctly using activities and not concentrations. The difference between thesc quantities is large in concentrated ionic solutions and K_(sp) is quantitatively reliable as a guide of solubilities only for very dilute solutions, If solubility product of AB type salt is 4xx 10^(-10) at 18^(@) C, and M.W of AB is 143.5 g/mol. If ppt. of AB is washed with 5 lit water, loss in wt. of ppt. of AB is
