What is spectrochemical series? Explain the difference between a weak field ligand and a strong field ligand.
What are the characteristics of the transition elements and why are they called transition elements? Which of the d-block elements may not be regarded as the transition elements?
Consider a certain reaction \(A\) \(→\) \(Products\) with \(k = 2.0 \times 10^{-2 }s^{-1}\) . Calculate the concentration of A remaining after 100 s if the initial concentration of A is 1.0 mol L-1.
An aromatic compound ‘A’ on treatment with aqueous ammonia and heating forms compound ‘B’ which on heating with Br2 and KOH forms a compound ‘C’ of molecular formula C6H7N. Write the structures and IUPAC names of compounds A, B and C
The decomposition of A into product has value of k as \(4.5 \times 10^3 s^{-1}\) at \(10°C\) and energy of activation \(60\ kJ mol^{-1 }\). At what temperature would k be \(1.5 \times 10^4 s^{-1}\)?
A reaction is second order with respect to a reactant. How is the rate of reaction affected if the concentration of the reactant is (i) doubled (ii) reduced to half?
