Given let α, β be the roots of the equation x2 + bx + c = 0

So, α 2 + b α + c = 0 &     β 2 + b β + c = 0

Also x2 + bx + c = (x - α) (x - β)

N o w       L = l i m x → β e 2 ( x 2 + b x + c ) − 1 − 2 ( x 2 + b x + c ) ( x − β ) 2           

l i m x → β 2 ( x − α ) 2 ( x − β ) 2 + 8 6 ( x − α ) 3 ( x − β ) 3 + . . . . . . . . ( x − β ) 2

=  2 ( β − α ) 2 = 2 [ ( β + α ) 2 − 4 α β ] = 2 [ b 2 − 4 c ]

FeCl3. 3H2O i.e. [Fe (H2O)3], K3 [Fe (CN]6 and [Co (NH3)6]Cl3 the last two complex are inner-orbital complex due to presence of strong ligand.

∴ Δ 0     o f     K 3 [ F e ( C N ) 6 ] > Δ 0 o f     [ C o ( N H 3 ) 6 ] C l 3

Because CN- is strong ligand

∴ Δ 0 ∝ 1 λ

More Δ 0 smaller value of absorbed λ

K 3 [ F e ( C N ) 6 ] → F e + 3 = 4 s 0 3 d 5 4 p 0

∴ u . e = 1

∴ μ = 1 × ( 1 + 2 ) B . M = 3 B . M

= 1.732 B.M

≈ 2

Monomer of novolac is

Molecular mass of monomer unit

= 12 × 7 + 1 × 8 + 16 × 2

= 84 + 8 + 32

= 124 g

Molecular mass of polymer = 963 g

∴ n × mass of monomer = mass of polymer + (n – 1) × 18

(n – 1) unit of H2O is removed during formation

∴ 1 2 4 × n = 9 6 3 + 1 8 ( n − 1 )        

106n = 945

∴ n = 9 4 5 1 0 6 = 8 . 9 1 ≈ 9
