PREFACE The desire to learn Chemistry remains diminished unless and until the student masters Physical chemistry. Physical chemistry is a field of science which mainly consists of problems and hence it calls for a deep knowledge of formulas and ability to solve numerical problems quickly and efficiently. Hence to ease this task we bring to you “Std. XII Sci. Chemistry Numericals” a book containing adequate solved problems for every chapter classified into subtopics that provides an indepth knowledge of the procedure to tackle the problems. At the end of each topic and sub-topic practice problems are provided to test the student’s preparation and increase his confidence. Additional and multiple choice questions are also provided to increase the knowledge and ability of the student. Board problems and various competitive exams problems of the last many years have been included to provide the importance of questions. To end on a candid note, I would like to make a humble request to each and every student: Preserve this book as a Holy Grail as it helps you in the complete and thorough preparation from the examination point of view. There is always a room for improvement, hence I welcome all suggestions and regret any errors that may have occurred in the making of this book.

Best of luck to all the aspirants! Your’s faithfully

Therefore, number of atoms of P in one unit cell = 1 atom This means that the ratio of the number of P atoms to the number of Q atoms, P:Q =1:1 Hence, the formula of the compound is PQ. The coordination number of both P and Q is 8 Problem 2: Radius of Cation A+ (r+) = 58 pm Given: Radius of anion B– (r–) = 210 pm To find: The coordination number of AB = ?

Since the radius ratio lies in between 0.732 – 1.0 The coordination number of RbBr is 8 And the structure of RbBr is Cubic. Problem 4: Given: Radius of cation Na+ (r+) =150 pm To find: Radius of anion Cl– (r–) =? Formula: Radius of thecation Radius ratio = Radius of theanion Calculation: NaCl has octahedral structural arrangement r+ The range of for stable six fold r− coordination is 0.414 to 0.732 Hence the radius of cation can be calculated by r+ taking − = 0.414 r From formula, r+ 0.414 = − r + 150 r = = 362.32 pm r– = 0.414 0.414 Problem 5: Maximum radius ratio in ionic crystals lies in the range 0.732 – 1 which corresponds to a coordination number of 8.
