‘Stability of crystal is reflected in the magnitude of its melting point’. Comment. Collect melting points of solid water, ethyl alcohol, diethyl ether and methane from a data book. What can you say about the intermolecular forces between these molecules?

Ans: Higher the melting point, greater are the intermolecular forces of attraction between the atoms of a molecule and greater is the stability of that molecule. A substance with higher melting...

In a pseudo-first-order reaction in water, the following results were obtained: \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \mathrm{t} / \mathrm{s} & 0 & 30 & 60 & 90 \\ \hline[\mathrm{Ester}] \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L} & 0.55 & 0.31 & 0.17 & 0.085 \\ \hline \end{tabular} Calculate the average rate of reaction between the time interval 30 to 60 seconds.

Solution: (a) Avg rate of reaction between the time intervals, 30 to 60 seconds, $$ \begin{array}{l} =\frac{\left.d E_{\text {ster }}\right]}{d t} \\ =\frac{0.31-0.17}{60-30} \\ =\frac{0.14}{30} \\...
