Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The half-life of the reaction in hours is to be determined where the order of reaction is first and the rate of constant is 3.2×10−5s−1 at 25°C.
Concept introduction:
The following formula will be used −
t1/2=0.693k
Here, k is rate constant.
(b)
Interpretation:
The molarity after the 16.5 h of reaction time is to be determined, when the initial concentration of the trans- [Co(en)2Cl2]+ is 0.138M.
Concept introduction:
The following formula will be used −
ln[A]t[A]0=−k.t
Here, [A]t is concentration of A at time t, [A]0 is initial concentration of A, k is rate constant and t is time.
(c)
Interpretation:
The possible reaction mechanism with unimolecular rate determining step is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The reaction mechanism can be defined as the step by step sequence of any elementary reaction.
(d)
Interpretation:
Whether the reaction product is chiral or achiral needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The diastereomers are known as the achiral molecules which have non−mirror image and non-identical stereoisomer. While an enantiomer are known as chiral molecules which consist plane of symmetry and having mirror image and identical stereoisomer.
(e)
Interpretation:
The crystal field energy diagram of the trans- [Co(en)2Cl2]+ is to be drawn by considering that the Cl− is weaker field ligand in comparison of the ethylenediamine.
Concept introduction:
There can be different versions of a different element in the nature these versions are called isotopes.
