Explanation:
The polarisation of the bond is due to electron withdrawing or electron donating effect of adjacent
atoms or groups. Such a type of electron displacement along a carbon chain is called Inductive effect.
Eg: C
–>--- C –>--- C –>--- C
6
H
5
The electron withdrawing nature of groups or atoms is called
negative inductive effect. C
6
H
5
is the only group, which has
–I effect. Since --C
6
H
5
is electron-
withdrawing group, it pulls up the electrons towards itself. Thereby it creates a partial positive charge
in adjacent carbon atoms and partial negative charge in phenyl group (C
6
H
5
).
Question 10
An example for interpolation error is
a) Incorrect identification of indicator's color change in titration
b) Guessing the correct value between two calibrated marks on the metre scale
c) Zero setting of the needle in analog display
d) Calibration of measured instrument
e) None of these
Correct Answer:
b) Guessing the correct value between two calibrated marks on the metre scale
Explanation:
Guessing the correct value between two calibrated marks on the metre scale is an example for
interpolation error. It is one of the two types of human or personal errors.
Incorrect identification of indicator's color change in titration
– Operative error. Zero setting of the
needle in analog display
– static error. Calibration of measured instrument - Instrument error.
Question 11
The one which is most commonly used as a detection of developed colorless chromatogram
spots in T.L.C plate is
a) Iodine
b) Phosphorus
c) Water
d) Copper salts
e) Ammonia
Correct Answer:
a) Iodine
Explanation:
The spots of colorless compounds can be detected by placing the T.L.C plate in a closed jar
containing few crystals of iodine. Spots of compounds, which absorb iodine, will indicate as a brown
color.
Question 12
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for acid is
a) pH = pK
a
- log ([A
-
] / [HA])
b) pH = pKa + log ([HA] / [A
-
])
