Why a mixture of Carbon disulphide and acetone shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law? What type of azeotrope is formed by this mixture?
Describe the preparation of potassium permanganate. How does the acidified permanganate solution react with oxalic acid ?
Write the ionic equations for the reactions.
Explain why :
(i) E° for Mn³⁺/Mn²⁺ couple is more positive than that for Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺. (At. Nos. Mn = 25, Fe = 26).
(ii) Ce³⁺ can be easily oxidized to Ce⁴⁺. (At. No.Ce = 58).
Suggest reasons for the following features of transition metal chemistry :
(i) The transition metals and their compounds are usually paramagnetic.
(ii) The transition metals exhibit variable oxidation states.
(i) State the law which helps to determine the limiting molar conductivity of weak electrolyte.
(ii) Calculate limiting molar conductivity of CaSO₄ (limiting molar conductivity of calcium and sulphate ions are 119.0 and 160.0 Scm² mol⁻¹ respectively)
