d-d Transition

What is d-d transition ? (From d & f block elements )
Answer:- The electronic transition between two energy levels of d orbital is called d-d transition. Movement of electron from one d orbital to other d orbital having different energy.

Where does d-d transition occur ?
Ans:- d-d transition is found in complex compounds ( or Coordination compounds ). Complex compound is made up of two entities – one is central metal atom / ion and other is Ligand (electron donor molecule or atom or ion )

Why d-d transition occur in place of simple electronic transition occurs between different shells?

Answer:- In coordination / complex compounds d subshell containing five d orbitals split into two parts (t2g and eg ) under influence of ligand field.
In octahedral complex / coordination compounds d subshell is splited into two energy level: one is of lower energy called t2g energy level containing three d orbital dxy, dyx and dzx and other is of higher energy level called eg energy level containing two d orbitals d x2-y2 and dz2

Why complex / coordination compounds are coloured ?
In coordination / complex compound, When electron present in one of t2g orbital absorb fixed amount of energy ( absorb particular frequency or wavelength of white light ) and moves to one of eg orbital than complementary light is reflected which we see through our eyes.
e.g. CuSO4.5H2O is blue in coloured,
Sodium chromate is yellow in coloured.
Sodium dichromate is Orange in coloured
[Cu (H2O)4]2+ absorb at 600nm means Red colour and complementary colour we see is Green.

Investigatory Project No:-19- To investigate the chloride content in milk. अन्वेषी / खोजी / जांच परियोजना:-19-दूध में क्लोराइड की मात्रा की जांच करना।

Investigatory Project for Class 11 and 12 Chemistry and Biology CBSE Students

Aim:- To investigate the chloride content in milk.
Apparatus:- Conical flask, burette, pipettes etc.
Reagents:- Ferric alum indicator: In 10% nitric acid, prepared by boiling excess of iron alum, cooling and filtering; Potassium thiocyanate: 0.05 N, (standardized against standard potassium chloride.), Silver nitrate: Approximately 0.05 N, Concentrated nitric acid.
Theory:- The normal range of chloride content


in cow’s milk is 80-140 mg/100 ml and
in buffalo’s milk is 60-70 mg/100 ml.

Determination of chloride content in milk can be used as a means of detecting abnormal milk such as infected udders, colostrum and late lactation milk which are usually high in chloride content.
Values of chloride content higher than 0.14% (140 mg/ 100 ml) in milk indicate the presence of abnormal milk.

Estimation of chloride content in milk is based on argentometric titration (Volhard’s method). In this method a known excess quantity of standard AgNO3 solution is added to the known volume of milk. The chloride present in milk reacts with silver nitrate and forms white precipitate of insoluble silver chloride. The unused AgNO3 (which is present in excess) is back titrated against standard potassium thiocyanate (KCNS) in presence of concentrated HNO3 using ferric alum as indicator. End point of titration is the first appearance of orange-red colour which persists for at least 15 seconds. End point of titration is not clearly visible in sample titration with potassium thiocyanate (KCNS). HNO3 is added to the system to dissolve the interfering casein and also to make the solution acidic so as to keep the AgCI in the precipitated form.

Reactions:-

CI- + Ag+ —–》 AgCI
(until all Cl- is complexed)

Ag+ + SCN- ——-》 AgSCN
(to quantitate silver not complexed with chloride)

SCN- + Fe3+ —–》 FeSCN
(orange-red when there is any SCN- not complexed to Ag+)

Preparation of reagents:-
A. Potassium thiocyanate -0.05 N Solution

w = M x GMM X V ( in ml)/ 1000 w = N x GEM X V ( in ml)/ 1000

w = 0.05 N x 97 g mol- X 100 ml / 1000 = 0.485 g

Dissolve 0.485 g of in water present in 100 ml volumetric flask and make up with water up to the ring.
B. Silver nitrate: Approximately 0.05 N Solution

w = M x GMM X V ( in ml)/ 1000 w = N x GEM X V ( in ml)/ 1000

w = 0.05 N x 170 g mol- X 100 ml / 1000 = 0.85 g

Dissolve 0.85 g of in water present in 100 ml volumetric flask and make up with water up to the ring.

Procedure:-
Take 10 g of the sample, accurately weighed in a 250 ml of Erlenmeyer flask.
To this add 10 ml of silver nitrate solution and 10 ml of concentrated nitric acid. Shake the content.
Digest the mixture until reddish brown fumes are evolved.
Cool the flask and add 1 ml of saturated iron alum solution.
Determine the excess of silver nitrate by titrating with the standard potassium thiocyanate until the first appearance of an orange red colour that persists for 10 seconds.
In the same manner, determine the volume of the standard thiocyanate solution equivalent to 10 ml of silver nitrate using the same volumes of reagents and water.

S.N.Sample of milkX = volume in ml of the standard potassium thiocyanate solution required by the blankY = volume in ml of the standard potassium thiocyanate solution required by the sample{X- Y } Chloride, % by weight = 0.01773 (Y – X)Chloride as sodium chloride, % by weight = 0.02923 (Y- X)
1Cow milk of healthy cow
2Cow milk with infected udders
3Cow milk with colostrum
4Cow milk with late lactation
5Buffalo milk of healthy Buffalo
6Cow milk with infected udders
7Cow milk with colostrum
8Cow milk with late lactation

Calculations:-
Chloride, % by weight = 0.01773 (Y – X)

Chloride as sodium chloride, % by weight = 0.02923 (Y- X) Where,

X = volume in ml of the standard potassium thiocyanate solution required by the blank,
and
Y = volume in ml of the standard potassium thiocyanate solution required by the sample.

Resut:-The samples of milk of cow/ Buffalo with infected udders, colostrum and late lactation cases have more chloride content.
