O− (g) + e− ⟶ O2− (g) ; Δf H ⊖ = +780 kJ mol−1

Thus process of formation of O2− in gas phase is unfavourable though O2− is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that,

(2) 26%
(3) 48%
(4) 23%

Solution: (1) Packing efficiency in bcc lattice = 68%

∴ Vacant space in bcc lattice = 100 − 68 = 32%

176. What is mole fraction of the solute in a 1.00 m aqueous solution?

(1) 0.0177
(2) 0.177
(3) 1.770
(4) 0.0354

Solution: (1)

1.0 m solution means 1 mole solute is present in 1000 g water.

nH2 O = 55.5 mol H2 O


nSolute 1
X Solute = = = 0.0177
nSolute + nH2 O 1 + 55.5

177. The oxidation of benzene by V2 O5 in the presence of air produces:


(1) Benzaldehyde
(2) Benzoic anhydride
(3) Maleic anhydride
(4) Benzoic acid

Solution: (3)

178. Caprolactum is used for the manufacture of:

179. The following reaction

Is known by the name:

(1) Schotten-Baumen reaction


(2) Friedel-Craft’s reaction
(3) Perkin’s reaction
(4) Acetylation reaction

Solution: (1)

Benzoylation of aniline is an example of Schotten-Bauman reaction.

180. The number of water molecules is maximum in:


(1) 18 moles of water
(2) 18 molecules of water
(3) 1.8 gram of water
(4) 18 gram of water

Solution: (1)

∵ 1 mole water = 6.02 × 1023 moleucles

∴ 18 mole water = 18 × 6.02 × 1023 molecules

So, 18 mole water has maximum number of molecules.
