Q: Identify the reactions that will not provide [NO]+  as the major product

    a) NOCl + AgNO3 

    b) NOCl + liq N2O4 

    c)NOCl + liq BrF3 

    d) NaNO3 + liq N2O4 

1) a & d        2) a & b  

3) b & c        4) a only

Ans. (1)

Hints:

Reaction (a) is neutralization reaction 

         NOCl + AgNO3 AgCl + N2O4

In reaction (b) NOCl behaves as a acid in liq N2O4 and ionizes to giv[NO]+ as the major product

        NOCl + liq N2O4 NO+ + Cl-

In reaction (c) liquid BrF3 abstract Cl from NOCl to give as the major product

       NOCl + liq BrF3 NO+ + BrF3Cl

In reaction (d) NaNO3 behaves as a base in liquid N2O4 and ionizes to give sodium ion and nitrate ion

    NaNO3 + liq N2O4 Na+ + NO3-


Q: Among the following group of anions, the one which corresponds to the appropriate group of pseudo halide anions is  

    a) CNO-, NCO-, SeCN-, N3-

    b) HSO4-, AsF6-, SCN-, NO3-

    c) H2PO4-, HSO4-, ClO4-, PF6-

    d) ClO4-, CN-, H2PO4-, BF4

Ans. (a)

Hints:

There are many anions that exhibit similar properties like halide ions. They are termed as pseudo halide and their dimers are called pseudo halogens. Therefore pseudo halides are CNO-CN-NCO-, SeCN-, N3


Q: Which is the number of 13C-NMR resonance exhibited by C70 and nature (Magnetism) of rhombohedral polymer of C60 respectively

a) 1  & Ferromagnetic           b)  1   &   Antiferromagnetic

c) 5 & Ferromagnetic            d) 5  &    Antiferromagnetic

Ans. (c)

Hints:

The C70 is a biproduct obtained during the synthesis of C60. C70 possesses five different types of carbon atoms in its structure, where as C60 has only one type of carbon. Thus C60 gives five 13C-NMR  resonance, where as C60 gives only one 13C-NMR resonance. The nature of rhombohedral polymer of C60 is Ferromagnetic.
