To know the hybridization of Triiodide ion, we can use simple hybridization formula which is given as;

Number of Hybridization $=$ Valence electron $+$ monovalent $+$ (negative charge $)-($ positive charge $) / 2$

If we look at the iodine atoms there are seven valence electrons in its outer shell and two monovalent atoms are also present. Further, during the combination of Iodine with the two other lodine atoms, the central atom gains a negative charge whose value will be taken as 1 .

If we place or substitute the values according to the formula, we get

$7+1+2 / 2$

$=10 / 2$

$=5$

Therefore the hybridisation number is equal to $5$. Now we can say that hybridisation is $sp ^3 d$.

Assertion : When $NO$ reacts with $FeSO_4$, a brown coloured complex is formed.

Reason : In the complex, the coordination number of $Fe$ is $6$.

Electrode potentials $(E^o)$ are given below

$Cu^+ /Cu = + 0.52\, V$,

$Fe^{3+} /Fe^{2+} = +0.7 7\, V$,

$\frac{1}{2}{I_2}\left( s \right)/{I^ - }\, =  + 0.54\,V,$

$Ag^+ /Ag = + 0.88\,V$.

The standard state Gibbs free energies of formation of $C$ (graphite) and $C$(diamond) at $\mathrm{T}=298 \mathrm{~K}$ are

$\Delta_f G^0[\mathrm{C}(\text { graphite })]=0 \mathrm{kJmol}^{-1}$

$\Delta_f G^0[\mathrm{C}(\text { diamond })]=2.9 \mathrm{kJmol}^{-1}$

The standard state means that the pressure should be $1$ bar, and substance should be pure at a given temperature. The conversion of graphite [C(graphite)] to diamond [C(diamond)] reduces its volume by $2 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^3 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$. If $\mathrm{C}$ (graphite) is converted to $\mathrm{C}$ (diamond) isothermally at $\mathrm{T}=298 \mathrm{~K}$, the pressure at which $C$ (graphite) is in equilibrium with C(diamond), is
