Question 1.
Elements in the groups 13 to 18 in the Periodic table constitute the ‘p’ block elements. (March – 2010)
i) Name the most important oxo acid of Nitrogen.
ii) How will you prepare the above oxo acid on large scale?
iii) In general, noble gases are least reactive. Why?
Answer:
i) Nitric acid (HNO3)
ii) HNO3 can be prepared on a large scale by Gstwald process. It involves three steps.
a) NH3 is oxidised catalytically by atmospheric oxygen.

\(4 \mathrm{NH}_{3 \mathrm{gg}}+5 \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \frac{\mathrm{Pt} / \mathrm{Rh} \text { gangue catalyst }}{500 \mathrm{~K}, 9 \mathrm{bar}}, 4 \mathrm{NO}_{(\mathrm{g})}+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(9)}\)

b) Nitric oxide thus formed combines with oxy gen giving NO2.

\(2 \mathrm{NO}_{(g)}+\mathrm{O}_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO}_{2(g)}\)

C) Nitrogen dioxide so formed dissolves in water to give HNO3.

\(3 \mathrm{NO}_{2(g)}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(1)} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{HNO}_{3(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{NO}_{(9)}\)

iii)

  • The noble gases except helium (1s2) have completely filled ns2np6 electronic configuration in their valence shell.
  • They are octet completed and stable so they are inert.

Question 2.
After a discussion about the structures of hydrides of the group – 15 elements, Neethu wrote the order of bond angles as NH3 < PH3 < AsH3 (Say – 2010)
a) is this the correct order?
b) Justify your answer.
c) Give the hybridization and shape of these hydrides.
d) Also arrange the above hydrides in the increasing order of their thermal stability. Justify your answer.
Answer:
a) No.
b) From top to bottom in the group the bond angle of group 15 hydrides decreases. As the electronegativity of the central atom decreases on moving down the group, the bond pair-bond pair repulsion decreases. Hence the bond angle decreases ¡n the order NH> PH3 > AsH3.

C) In all hydrides the central atom is sp3 hybridised. The molecules assume trigonal pyramidal geometry with a lone pair on the central atom.

d) Thermal stability of the group 15 hydrides increases BiH3 < AsH3 < PH3 < NH3 This is due to the fact that moving up the group the E – H bond dissociation enthalpy (‘E’ is a group 15 element) increases due to decrease in size of the central atom and the molecules will decompose only at higher temperatures.

Question 3.
Discovery of Haber’s process for the manufacture of Am monia is considered to be one of the principal discoveries of the twentieth century. (March – 2011)
a) Which is the promoter used ¡ri the earlier process when Iron was used as a catalyst?

C) NH3 is converted to HNO3 commercially by Ostwald’s process. It involves three steps.
i) NH3 is oxidised catalytically by atmospheric oxygen.

ii) Nitric oxide thus formed combines with oxy gen giving NO2.
\(2 \mathrm{NO}_{(g)}+\mathrm{O}_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO}_{2(g)}\)

iii) Nitrogen dioxide so formed dissolves in water to give HNO3.
\(3 \mathrm{NO}_{2(g)}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(1)} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{HNO}_{3(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{NO}_{(g)}\)

ii) Two important xenon fluorides are XeF2 and XeF4.
iii) Interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogens (except fluorine). Because, the bond between different halogen atoms (X – X’) in interhalogen compounds is weakerthan the bond between similar halogen atoms. Due to the difference in size and electronegativity. The F – F bond is the weakest due to interelectronic repulsion.

Question 7.
a) Nitrogen forms a number of oxides in the different oxidation stats. Write the names and structural formulae of any four oxides of nitrogen. (March – 2013)

a) Describe Haber process for the manufacture of ammonia.
b) Write the chemical equation forthe preparation of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) from ortho phosphorous acid (H3PO3).
c) Describe contact process for the manufacture of sulphuric acid.
Answer:
a) On a large scale, ammonia is manufactured by Haber’s process. In this process nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas to form ammonia gas as per the reaction:
\(\mathrm{N}_{2(g)}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2(g)}=2 \mathrm{NH}_{3(g)} ; \Delta_{f} \mathrm{H}^{\circ}=-46.1 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)

According to Le Chatelier’s principle, high pressure favours the formation of ammonia. The optimum conditions for the production of ammonia are a pressure of 200 x 105 Pa (about 200 atm), a temperature of 700 K and the use of catalysts such as iron oxide with small amounts of K2O and Al2O3 to increase the rate of attaintment of equilibrium. The flow chart for the production of ammonia is shown below:

=-196.6 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}
\end{array}\)
A pressure of 2 bar and a temperature of 720 K are applied.

iii) Absorption of SO3 gas in H2SO4 to give oleum (H2S2O7) SO3 + H2SO4 → H2S2ODilution of oleum with water gives H2S04 of the desired concentration. H2S2O+ H2O → 2H2SO4

b) i) How will you manufacture Sulphuric Acid by contact process?
ii) What are interhalogen compounds?
Answer:
a) Rhombic sulphur (α – sulphur) and Monoclinic sulphur (β – sulphur)
b) i) The manufacture of sulphuric acid by contact process involves three steps:
1) Burining of sulphur or sulphide ores in air to generate SO2. S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g)
2) Conversion of SO2 to SO3 by the reaction with ozygen in the presence of V2O5 catalyst.
\(2 \mathrm{SO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \frac{\mathrm{V}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}}{2 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{O}_{3}(\mathrm{~g}) \mathrm{\Delta}_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{H}^{\circ}}=-196.6 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)

This reaction is exothermic, reversible and the forward reaction leads to a decrease in volume. Therefore, low temperature and high pressure are the favaourable conditions for maximum yield. In practice, a pressure of 2 bar and a temperature of 720 K are applied.

3) Absorption of SO3 gas in H2SO4 to give oleum (H2S2O7) SO3 + H2SO4 → H2S2ODilution of oleum with water gives H2S04 of the desired concentration. H2S2O8 + H2O → 2H2SO4

Answer:
a) iv) NO2
b) Nitric acid is the most important oxoacid of nitrogen. HNO3 exists as planar molecule.

Manufacture of nitric acid: On a large scale, nitric acid is prepared mainly by Ostwald’s process. This method is based upon catalytic oxidation of NH3 by atmospheric oxygen.

4NH3(g) + \(5 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \frac{\text { PUR } \text { guage catalyst }}{500 \mathrm{~K}, \text { bar }}\) 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

Nitric oxide thus formed combines with oxygen giving NO2.

2NO(g) + O2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2NO2(g)

Nitrogen dioxide so formed, dissolves in water to give HNO2.

3NO2(g) + H2O(l) → 2HNO3(aq) + NO(g)

Properties of nitric acid: It is a colourless liquid. In aqueous solution nitric acid behaves as a strong acid giving hydronium and nitrate ions.

HNO2(g) + H2O(1) → H3O+(aq) + NO3(aq)

Concentrated nitric acid is a strong oxidising agent and attacks most metals except noble metals such as gold and platinum.

OR

a) i) H3PO2
b) Structure of ammonia: The ammonia molecule is trigonal pyramidal with the nitrogen atom at the apex. It has three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons.

Manufacture of ammonia: On a large scale ammonia is manufactured by Haber’s process.

\(\mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+3 \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(\mathrm{~g}) ;=-46.1 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)

High pressure would favour the formation of ammonia. (about 200 atm), a temperature of —700 K and the use of catalyst such as iron oxide with small amounts of K2O and Al2O3.

Ammonia gas is highly soluble in water. Its aqueous solution is weakly basic due to the formation of OH ions.

\(\mathrm{NH}_{3(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(0)} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{NH}_{4^{+}(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{OH}_{-(\mathrm{aq})}\)

It forms salts with acids. It precipitates the hydroxides of many metals from their salt solutions. The presence of a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom of the ammonia molecule makes it a Lewis base.

b) Preparation of PCI3: By passing dry chlorine over heated shite phosphorus.

P4 + 6Cl2 → 4PCl3

Or, by the action of thionyl chloride with white phosphorus.

P4 + 8SOCl2 → 4PCI3 + 4SO2 + 2S2Cl2

Properties of PCI3: It is a colourless oily liquid and hydrolyses in the presence of moisture. Hence, it fumes in moist air.

PCI3 + 3H2O → H3PO3 + 3HCI

Structure of PCI5: In gaseous and liquid phases, PCI5 has a trigonal bipyramidal structure. The three equational P – CI bonds are equivalent, while the two axial bonds are longer than equatorial bonds. This is due to the fact that the axial bond pairs suffer more repulsion as compared to equatorial bond pairs.
