- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
There are some deposits of nitrates and phosphates in the earth’s crust. Nitrates are more soluble in water. Nitrates are difficult to reduce under laboratory conditions, but microbes do it easily. Ammonia forms a large number of complexes with transition metals. Hybridisation easily explains the ease of sigma donation capability of NH₃ and PH₃. Phosphine is an inflammable gas, and it is prepared from white phosphorus.

Sodium dichromate \(Na _2 Cr _2 O _7\) and Potassium dichromate \(K _2 Cr _2 O _7\) are strong oxidizing agents; in acidic solution, its oxidising action can be represented as follows :
\(Cr _2 O _7^{2-}+14 H ^{+}+6 e^{-} \rightarrow 2 Cr ^{3+}+7 H _2 O \left( E ^{\circ}=1.33 V\right)\)
The chromates and dichromates are interconvertible in aqueous solution depending upon pH of the solution.
The chromate ion is tetrahedral whereas the dichromate ion consists of two tetrahedra sharing one corner with \(Cr - O - Cr\) bond angle of \(126^{\circ}\)
Potassium permanganate is prepared by fusion of \(MnO _2\) with an alkali metal hydroxide and an oxidising agent like \(KNO _3\).
This produces the dark green \(K _2 MnO _4\) which disproportionates in a neutral or acidic solution to give permanganate. It is a strong oxidizing agent. Hydrogen ion concentration of the solution plays
an important part in the reduction of permanganate to manganate, manganese dioxide and manganese(II) salt.
Potassium permanganate forms dark purple (almost black) crystals which are isostructural with those of \(KClO _4\).
The salt is not very soluble in water \((6.4 g / 100 g\) of water at 293 K ), but when heated it decomposes at 513 K .

When a metal is placed in a solution of its ions, the metal can lose electron and can go in the solution as ion or the metal ion in the solution can take electron from the electrode and get deposited as metal. Thus, the electrode acquires either positive or negative charge with respect to the solution leading to the development of a potential difference between the metal electrode and the solution. This potential difference is called the electrode potential of the metal. The electrode potential of a metal is a measure of relative tendency to undergo oxidation (loss of electron) or reduction (gain of electron). When the concentration of the ions in the solution is unity, the electrode potential is called standard electrode potential. The magni of potential depends upon the nature of electrode, concentration of ions in solution and the temperature. In a galvanic cell, the electrode at which oxidation occurs is known as anodic half-cell and the electrode at which reduction occurs is known as cathodic half cell. The emf of the cell in terms of standard reduction potential is given by \(E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=E_{\text {cathode }}^{\circ}-E_{\text {anode. }}^{\circ}\).The standard free energy change of the redox reaction taking place in the cell is related to \(E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}\) by \(\Delta G^{\circ}=-n F E^{\circ}\). A redox reaction would occur spontaneously if the free energy change is negative. The equilibrium constant of the reaction is related to the standard free energy change by \(\Delta G^{\circ}=-R T \ln K\).

- Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reactions. A nucleophile attacks the electrophilic carbon atom of polar carbonyl group from perpendicular to plane of \(sp^2\) hybridised orbitals of carbonyl carbon. The hybridisation of carbon changes from \(sp^2\) to \(sp^3\) and a tetrahedral alkoxide intermediate is formed. This captures \(H^+\) to give neutral product. In carboxylic acids, carbonyl carbon is less electrophilic than carbonyl carbon in aldehydes and ketones.
