Roll No. :. ‘Thapar University, Patiala School of Chemistry and Biochemistry Mid-Semester Examination , March 2014 Course Name : Chemistry (UCBO0!) ‘Maximum Marks : 36 ‘Time Allowed : 2 Hours Course Instructors : Dr. R. Prakash, Dr. M. Chhibber, Dr. K. Paul Instructions : © Use structures and diagrams to explain wherever necessary to get full credit. © Amtempt all parts of a question at one place, © _ Be brief and to the point 10 save time. 1. a. Asspecies [A+B] after absorbing light of a particular frequency can get excited to {A-B]*. Write various 3 processes through which it can come back to its ground state [A-B]. What are these processes collectively known as? b. Write an expression to show the relation between Absorbance and Transmittance in Beer- Lambert law. 3 Write limitations of Beer-Lambert law. ce. Radiation of wave length 2500 A” was passed through a cell containing 10 ml of a solution which was 0.05 3 molar in oxalic acid and 0.01 molar in uranyl sulphate. After absorption of 80 joules of radiation energy, the concentration of oxalic acid was reduced to 0.04 molar, Calculate the quantum yield for the photochemical decomposition of oxalic acid at the given wave length. @. The UV-Vis spectra of ETHANAL show two peaks at 180nm (Emax = 10,000) and at 290nm (&max= 15). 3 ‘Assign both the peaks to corresponding electronic transitions with their justification for both band €. Why some organic compounds are coloured. Write the wavelength of light absorbed (in nm) when 3 following colours are observed. (i) Yellow, (ii) Red (il) Orange bb. What are the necessary conditions for a compound to’be IR Active? Draw all possible stretching and 3 bending vibrational modes for CO: and label all IR active modes. c. How mass of atoms is related to wave number in IR spectroscopy. Arrange following bonds in order of 3 decreasing wave number. {@) Carbon- carbon triple bond, Carbon- carbon single bond, Carbon- carbon double bond Gi) C-H bond, O-H bond, O-D bond, d. Draw a neat well labeled diagram of hollow cathode lamp. 3 a. How atomic absorption spectroscopy is different from flame emission spectroscopy. b. Write an expression for Boltzmann distribution clarifying each term. Why Boltzmann distribution is an important expression for flame emission spectroscopy. cc. What main points of valance bond theory? 3 4. Define EAN. Discuss its significance. Calculate EAN of following coordination complexes. (i) [Fe(CN) 6)" Gi) [Ni(CO).]
