Molecular Nitrogen \(N_2\) comprises about 78% by volume of Earth’s atmosphere. It occurs as Sodium nitrate, \(NaNO_3\)(chile saltpeter) & Potassium nitrate, \(KNO_3\)(Indian altpeter) in earth’s crust. Since nitrate are very soluble in water so these are not wide spread in the earth’s crust. Nitrogen is also an important constituent of amino acids, protein & nucleic acids in plants & animals. Nitrogen shows anomalous behavior from rest of the elements due to following reasons; Smaller size, high ionization enthalpy, high electronegativity & absence of d-orbital. It has unique ability to form p∏-p∏ multiple bonds with itself & with small size atoms like C & O as they have small size & high electronegativity. Heavier elements of this group do not form p∏-p∏ bonds as their atomic orbitals are so large & diffuse that they can’t have effective overlapping. Thus Nitrogen exists as diatomic molecules \(N_2\) with a triple bond. Consequently, its bond enthalpy (941.4 KJ \(mol^{-1}\)) is very high. P, As & Sb form only single bonds as P-P, As-As & Sb-Sb. Due to much bond enthalpy N is much less reactive than P. Single N-N bond is weaker than single P-P bond due to high interelectronic repulsion of the non bonding electrons, owing to small bond length. As a result, the catenation tendency is weaker in nitrogen. Hence nitrogen exists as gas while phosphorus exists as solid. Nitrogen can’t form d∏- d∏ bond due to absence of d- orbitals so it can’t expand its covalency beyond four as heavier members can.

The solubility of gases increases with increase of pressure. William Henry made a systematic investigation of the solubility of a gas in a liquid. According to Henry’s law “the mass of a gas dissolved per unit volume of the solvent at constant temperature is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the solution”. Dalton during the same period also concluded independently that the solubility of a gas in a liquid solution depends upon the partial pressure of the gas. If we use the mole fraction of gas in the solution as a measure of its solubility, then Henry’s law can be modified as “the partial pressure of the gas in the vapour phase is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution”. Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate options: (i) Henry’s law constant for the solubility of methane in benzene at 298 K is 4.27 × \(10^5\) mm Hg.

If the solution contains 5.00 × \(10^{-2}\) g of ethane then what will be the partial pressure (in bar) of the gas? (a) 0.762 (b) 1.312 (c) 3.81 (d) 5.0 (iii) KH (K bar) values for Ar(g), \(CO_2\)(g), HCHO(g) and \(CH_4\)(g) are 40.39, 1.67, 1.83 × \(10^{-5}\) and 0.413 respectively. Arrange these gases in the order of their increasing solubility. (a) HCHO < \(CH_4\) < \(CO_2\) < Ar (b) HCHO < \(CO_2\) < \(CH_4\) < Ar (c) Ar < \(CO_2\) < \(CH_4\) < HCHO (d) Ar < \(CH_4\) < \(CO_2\) < HCHO (iv) When a gas is bubbled through water at 298 K, a very dilute solution of the gas is obtained.

Boiling point or freezing point of liquid solution would be affected by the dissolved solids in the liquid phase. A soluble solid in solution has the effect of raising its boiling point and depressing its freezing point. The addition of non-volatile substances to a solvent decreases the vapor pressure and the added solute particles affect the formation of pure solvent crystals. According to many researches the decrease in freezing point directly correlated to the concentration of solutes dissolved in the solvent. This phenomenon is expressed as freezing point depression and it is useful for several applications such as freeze concentration of liquid food and to find the molar mass of an unknown solute in the solution. Freeze concentration is a high quality liquid food concentration method where water is removed by forming ice crystals. This is done by cooling the liquid food below the freezing point of the solution. The freezing point depression is referred as a colligative property and it is proportional to the molar concentration of the solution (m), along with vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure. These are physical characteristics of solutions that depend only on the identity of the solvent and the concentration of the solute. The characters are not depending on the solute’s identity. Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate options: (i) When a non volatile solid is added to pure water it will- (a) boil above \(100^\circ\)C and freeze above \(0^\circ\)C. (b) b) boil below \(100^\circ\)C and freeze above \(0^\circ\)C. (c) boil above \(100^\circ\)C and freeze below \(0^\circ\)C. (d) boil below \(100^\circ\)C and freeze below \(0^\circ\)C. (ii) Colligative properties are (a) dependent only on the concentration of the solute and independent of the solvent’s and solute’s identity. (b) dependent only on the identity of the solute and the concentration of the solute and independent of the solvent’s identity. (c) dependent on the identity of the solvent and solute and thus on the concentration of the solute. (d) dependent only on the identity of the solvent and the concentration of the solute and independent of the solute’s identity.

Group 18 elements are called noble gases and not inert gases because compounds of Kr, Xe and Rn have been prepared. Their general electronic configuration is \(ns^2\)\(np^6\) except He(\(1s^2\) ). They have highest ionisation enthalpy and positive electron gain enthalpy due to stable electronic configuration. Helium is found in sun and stars.
