CBSEENCH11008413

Four diatomic solutions of the following were prepared in water separately. Which one of the solutions will record the highest pH?

  • straight O subscript 2 superscript minus space less than thin space NO space less than thin space straight C subscript 2 superscript 2 minus end superscript space less than thin space He subscript 2 superscript plus
  • NO less than thin space straight C subscript 2 superscript 2 minus end superscript space less than thin space straight O subscript 2 superscript minus space less than thin space He subscript 2 superscript plus
  • straight C subscript 2 superscript 2 minus end superscript space less than space He subscript 2 superscript plus less than thin space NO thin space less than thin space straight O subscript 2 superscript minus
  • He subscript 2 superscript plus space less than thin space straight O subscript 2 superscript minus space less than thin space NO space less than thin space straight C subscript 2 superscript 2 minus end superscript

Solution

D.

He subscript 2 superscript plus space less than thin space straight O subscript 2 superscript minus space less than thin space NO space less than thin space straight C subscript 2 superscript 2 minus end superscript Bond space order space equals space fraction numerator straight N subscript straight b minus straight N subscript straight a over denominator 2 end fraction
He subscript 2 superscript plus colon space left parenthesis straight sigma space 1 right parenthesis squared space left parenthesis straight sigma asterisk times 1 straight s right parenthesis to the power of 1
Bond space order space equals space fraction numerator 2 minus 1 over denominator 2 end fraction space equals space 1 half
straight C subscript 2 superscript 2 minus end superscript colon
KK space left parenthesis straight sigma 2 straight s right parenthesis squared thin space left parenthesis straight sigma asterisk times 2 straight s right parenthesis squared left parenthesis straight pi 2 straight p subscript straight x right parenthesis squared left parenthesis straight pi 2 straight p subscript straight y right parenthesis squared left parenthesis straight sigma 2 straight p subscript straight z right parenthesis squared
Bond space order space space equals fraction numerator 8 minus 5 over denominator 2 end fraction space equals space 1 1 half
NO colon space KK space left parenthesis straight sigma 2 straight s squared right parenthesis left parenthesis straight sigma asterisk times 2 straight s right parenthesis squared left parenthesis straight sigma 2 straight p subscript straight z right parenthesis squared left parenthesis straight pi 2 straight p subscript straight x right parenthesis squared space left parenthesis straight pi 2 straight p subscript straight y right parenthesis squared left parenthesis straight pi asterisk times 2 straight p subscript straight x right parenthesis to the power of 1
Bond space order space equals space fraction numerator 8 minus 3 over denominator 2 end fraction space equals space 2 1 half
Hence comma space the space order space of space increasing space bond space order space is space as space colon
He subscript 2 superscript plus space less than space straight O subscript 2 superscript minus space less than space NO space less than thin space straight C subscript 2 superscript 2 minus end superscript
