Which is the element present in group 15 of periodic table showing oxidation state from -3 to +5?
Nitrogen
How ammonia is prepared in laboratory? What is the chemical change happening when ammonium hydroxide solution is added drop wise to excess into a copper sulphate solution? (Give equations wherever necessary.)
Ammonia is prepared in laboratory by treating ammonium salts with caustic soda or calcium hydroxide. 2NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2 → 2NH3 +
phosphorous is the second element in the 15 th group of the periodic table.
Which are the two important halides of phosphorous?
How they are prepared?
Explain with equations, their action with moisture.
PCl3 and PCl5.
PCl3 is obtained by passing dry chlorine over heated white
How ozone is prepared? Give any two oxidizing reactions of ozone.
Ozone is prepared by passing a slow dry stream of oxygen through a silent electrical discharge.
3O2 →
The most important oxoacid of nitrogen is Nitric acid.
Name the other two oxoacids of nitrogen.
With the help of balanced chemical equations, explain the reaction of Cu with dilute and concentrated nitric acids.
Hyponitrous acid(H2N2O2) and Nitrous acid ( HNO2)
3Cu + 8 HNO3(dilute)
Heating white phosphorous with concentrated NaOH in an inert atmosphere of CO2 gives a compound used in Holme’s signals. Name the compound. Write the balanced equation showing the reaction.
An oxide of nitrogen which is brown in color and paramagnetic, on cooling becomes another oxide which is diamagnetic liquid or solid. Identify the two oxides and write the equation showing the change.
Why the first element in groups 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the periodic table show abnormal properties compared to rest of the members?
This is due to the small size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy and non-availability of d
Which inter halogen compound is used in the production of UF6 , a compound that is used in the enrichment of U235.
ClF3
Deacon’s process is used for the manufacture of ------------ .
Chlorine
Name the process used for the large scale preparation of Nitric acid.
Ostwald’s process
Name the compound of phosphorus which is used in Holme’s signal.
Phosphine
The compound of 15th group element which is used as a refrigerant is------ .
Ammonia
The strongest hydrohalic acid is -----------
Hydriodic acid
Name the important oxoacids of nitrogen and write their chemical formulae.
1. Nitrous acid : HNO2
2. Nitric acid : HNO3
3. Hyponitrous acid :
Nitrogen does not form pentahalides. Why?
Nitrogen has no vacant d-orbital
Why dintrogen (N2 ) is inert at room temperatuer?
Due to high bond dissociation enthalpy of N-N triple
Expain the manufacture of ammonia?
Ammonia is manufactured by Haber's process.In this nitrogen gas is mixed with hydrogen gas. High Pressure and low temperature favours the formation of ammonia .
Write a method to prepare very pure nitrogen (N2) in the laboratory
By the thermal decomposition of Barium azide or sodium azide
Ba( N3 )2 → Ba + 3
Thermal stability of hydrides of group 15 elements decreases from NH3 to BiH3 . Why ?
Down the group from N to Bi atomic size increases and bond dissociation enthalpy of M-H bond decreases.Hence thermal stability
Write three anomolous properties of nitrogen compared to other elements of group 15
1. Nitrogen can form stable p pi - p pi multiple bonds
2. Nitrogen is diatomic gas while others are polyatomic solids
3. Catenation tendancy in
In group 15 stability of +5 oxidation state decreases down the group. Give reason
It is due to Inert pair effect. Inert pair effect increases down the group and +3 oxidation state becomes more stable down the
In group 15 stability of +5 oxidation state decreases down the group. Give reason
It is due to Inert pair effect. Inert pair effect increases down the group and +3 oxidation state becomes more stable down the
First ionisation enthalpy of Nitrogen is higher than Oxygen. Why?
due to the stable outer ns2np3 electronic configuration.of nitrogen , s level is fully filled and p level is exactly half
Which allotropic form of phosphorous is more reactive?
White phosphorus
What are the products obtained by the thermal decomposition of sodium azide.
Thermal decomposition of sodium azide gives dinitrogen gas and metallic sodium
