(a)
Interpretation:
Electron dot structure of hydrazine has to be drawn. The geometry around each Nitrogen atom and its hybridization have to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis electron dot structure is also simply known as electron dot structure which represents the reactive electrons and bonding in a compound.
VSEPR theory constitutes a set of rules which predicts the shape of the molecule based on the orientation of bonding and non-bonding electrons in the molecule.
(b)
Interpretation:
Concept Introduction:
Hess’s law is applied to calculate the enthalpy changes in a reaction. According to Hess’s law –
“The overall enthalpy change of a reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes involving in each and every individual steps in the reaction.”
Thus if a reaction involves ‘n’ steps then enthalpy change
(c)
Interpretation:
The amount of heat released on combustion of
Concept Introduction:
Heat liberated or absorbed during the reaction is,
Where,
If sign of ‘q’ is negative it implies heat is liberated. If sign of ‘q’ is positive it implies heat is absorbed.
