Answer / उत्तर:

  • क्षारीय मूलक: क्षारों के आयनन से प्राप्त धनावेशित आयनों (धनायनों) को क्षारीय मूलक कहते हैं (जैसे NaOH → Na^+ + OH^-, जहाँ Na^+ क्षारीय मूलक है)।
  • अम्लीय मूलक: अम्लों के आयनन से प्राप्त ऋणावेशित आयनों (ऋणायनों) को अम्लीय मूलक कहते हैं (जैसे HCl → H^+ + Cl^-, जहाँ Cl^- अम्लीय मूलक है)।

Answer / उत्तर:

विभिन्न तत्वों के परमाणुओं के ऐसे समूह जिन पर एक निश्चित धनात्मक या ऋणात्मक आवेश होता है तथा जो रासायनिक अभिक्रियाओं में एक इकाई के रूप में कार्य करते हैं, बहुपरमाणुक आयन कहलाते हैं।

उदाहरण: अमोनियम आयन (NH4^+), कार्बोनेट आयन (CO32-), सल्फेट आयन (SO42-), हाइड्रॉक्साइड आयन (OH^-), नाइट्रेट आयन (NO3^-)।

Answer / उत्तर:

  • परिभाषा: किसी आयनिक यौगिक का सूत्र इकाई द्रव्यमान उसके सूत्र में उपस्थित सभी परमाणुओं/आयनों के परमाणु द्रव्यमानों का योग होता है। इसका उपयोग उन आयनिक ठोसों के लिए किया जाता है जिनमें पृथक अणु नहीं पाए जाते।
  • MgSO4 की गणना:
  • मैग्नीशियम (Mg) का परमाणु भार = 24 u
  • सल्फेट में सल्फर (S) का परमाणु भार = 32 u
  • ऑक्सीजन (O) का परमाणु भार = 16 u
  • MgSO4 का सूत्र इकाई द्रव्यमान = 24 + 32 + (4 × 16) = 24 + 32 + 64 = 120 u।

  • English:
  1. Carbonate ion is CO32- with a valency of 2.
  2. In formula M_2CO3, two atoms of metal M combine with one CO32- ion.
  3. Therefore, valency of metal M is +1 (M^+ ion).

Step-by-step Solution /

  • English:
  1. Charge on Al ion: In Al2(SO4)3, SO4 has a charge of -2. Three SO42- ions carry a total charge of -6. For charge balance, two Al ions must carry a total charge of +6. Hence, each Al ion carries a charge of +3 (Al3+).
  2. Formula of zinc sulphate: Zinc ion is Zn2+ (valency 2) and sulphate ion is SO42- (valency 2). Criss-crossing gives ratio 2:2 which simplifies to 1:1 → Formula: ZnSO4.
