Calculate solubility of MnS in a buffer solution of given pH.K_(sp) of MnS and K_(a_(1))&K_(a_(2)) for H_(2)S are given .

Answer»

Solution :Let the NEW solubility of `MnS=x`
`[Mn^(2+)]=x`=INITIAL concentration of `S^(2-)` ions but free `S^(2-)` ions will be less because some of the `S^(2-)` ions will react with `H^(+)` from buffer to form `HS^(-)` and `H_(2)S`
`[Mn^(2+)]=x=underset("Free")[S^(2-)]+[Hs^(-)]+[H_(2)S]....(1)`
Let us calculate the value of `[HS^(-)]`&`[H_(2)S]` in terms of free `[s^(2-)]` ion.For that consider:
`HS^(-)hArr H^(+)+S^(2-)"",,,,,,""H_(2)ShArr H^(+)+HS^(-)`
`K_(2)=([H^(+)][S^(2-)])/([HS^(-)])"",,,,""K_(1)=([H^(+)][HS^(-)])/([H_(2)S])`
`[HS^(-)]=([H^(+)][S^(2-)])/(K_(2))....(2)`
and `[H_(2)S]=([H^(+)][S^(-)])/(K_(1))=([H^(+)][S^(2-)])/(K_(1)K_(2)]....(3)`
PUT (2) &(3) in (1)
`x=[S^(2-)](1+([H^(+)])/(K_(2))+([H^(+)]^(2))/(K_(1)K_(2)))`
`x=(K_(sp))/([Mn^(2+)])(1+([H^(+)])/(K_(2))+(H^(+)]^(2)/(K_(1)K_(2)))`
`x=sqrt(K_(sp)(1+([H^(+)])/(K_(2))+([H^(+)]^(2))/(K_(1)K_(2))))`

Calculate pH of 10^-8 M H_2SO_4 (ii) Calculate the concentration of hydrogen ion in moles per litre of a solution whose pH is 5.4. (iii) Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution obtained by mixing 50 ml of 0.2 HCl with 50 ml 0.1 M NaOH

Answer»

Solution :`H_2SO_4 leftrightarrow^(H_2O)2H_3O^++SO_4^(2-)`
`10^-8M 2 times10^-8 10^-8M`
In this case the concentration of `H_2SO_4` is very lowand HENCE `[H_3O^+]` from water cannot be neglected.
`therefore[H_3O^+]=2times10^-8` (from `H_2SO_4)+10^-7` (from water)
`=10^-8(2+10)`
`=12 times10^-8=1.2 times10^-7`
`pH=-log_10[H_3O^+]`
`=-log_10(1.2 times 10^-7)`
`=7-log_10 1.2`
`=7-0.0791=6.9209`
(ii) pH of the solution=5.4
`[H_3O^+]`=antilog of (-pH)
=antilog of (-5.4)
=antilog of (-5+0.6)=6.6
`=3.981 times 10^-6`
i.e, `3.98 times 10^-6 MOL dm^-3`
(iii) No. of moles of HCl=`0.2 times 50 times 10^-3=10 times 10^-3`
No. of moles of NaOH=`0.1 times 50 times 10^-3=5 times 10^-3`
No. of moles of HCl after mixing=`10 times 10^-3 -5 times 10^-3`
`=5times 10^-3`
After mixing total volume =100 ML
`therefore` COncentration of HCl in moles per litre `=(5 times 10^-3 MOLE)/(100 times 10^-3L)`
`[H_3O^+]=5times10^-2M`
`pH=-log(5times10^-2)`
`=2-log5`
`=2-0.6990`
=1.30

Calculate pH of 10^-7 M HCl

Answer»

Solution :If we do not consider `[H_3O^+]` from the ionisation of `H_2O`. Then `[H_3O^+]=[HCL]=10^-7M` i.e., pH=7, which is a pH of a neutral solution, We know that HCl solution is acidic whatever may be the CONCENTRATION of HCl i.e., the pH value should be less than 7, In this CASE the concentration of the acid is very LOW `(10^-7M)`. Hence, the `H_3O^+ (10^-7M)` formed due to the AUTO ionisation of water cannot be neglected.
So, in the case we should consider `[H_3O^+]` from ionisation of `H_2O`
`[H_3O^+]=10^-7` (from HCl) +`10^-7` (from water)
`=10^-7 (1+1)`
`=2 times 10^-7`
`ph=-log_10[H_3O^+]`
`=-log_10(2 times 10^-7)=-[log 2+log 10^-3]`
`=-log 2-(-7),log_10 10`
`=7-log 2`
`=7-0.3010=6.6990`
=`6.70`

`therefore` Total NUMBER of atoms `= 8 xx (1)/(8) + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2`
If a is the edgelengthof cubicunit cell and r is theradius of an atom them, in bcc unitcell `r =(sqrt(3))/(4) xxa`
VOLUMEOF unit cell `=a^(3) = ((4)/(sqrt(3))xx r)^(3) = (64)/(3sqrt(3))r^(3)`
Volumeof 1 atom `= (4)/(3)pir^(3)`
`therefore` Packing fraction `=("Volumeoccupiedby 2atoms")/("Volume of unit cell")`
`=(2xx(4)/(5)pir^(3))/((64)/(3sqrt(3))r^(3))`
`= (sqrt(3)pi)/(8)`
`=(sqrt(3) xx 3.142 )/(8)`
` = 0.68`
`therefore` Packingefficinecy `= 0.68 xx 10= 68%`

Calculate packingefficieny in the crystal of facecentred cubic (fcc) sturcture.

Answer»

Solution :Face - centred cubic (FCC) structre: In the unit cell, there are 8 atoms at 8 cornersand 6 atoms at 6 facecentres.
NUMBEROF atoms due to 8 corners `= 8 xx (1)/(8) = 1`
Number of atomsdue to 6 facecentre `= (1)/(2) xx 6 = 3`
`therefore` Totalnumberof atoms in the unit cell = 1+3=4
If a is the edge lenghtof the unit cell and r is the radius OFTHE atoms , then in fccstructure, `r = (a)/(2sqrt(2))`. Hence `a = sqrt(2)`
Volumeof unit cell `= a^(3) = (2sqrt(2r))^(3) = 16 sqrt(2r)^(3)`
Volumeof unit cell`=a^(3) = (2qrt(2r))^(3) = 16 sqrt(2r)^(3)`
Volumeof 1 atom `= (4)/(3)pir^(3)`
Packing FRACTION `= ("Volume occupiedby 4 atoms")/("Volumeof unit cell")`
`=(4((4)/(3)pir^(3)))/(16sqrt(2)pir^(3))`
`=(16//3pir^(3))/(16sqrt(2)r^(3))`
`=(pi)/(3sqrt(2))`
`=(3.142)/(3xx1.414)`
` = 0 .74`
`therefore` Packingefficiency `= 0.74 xx 100 = 74%`
`therefore` of void SPACE= 100 - 74 = 26%

Calculate packing efficiency in face-centred cubic (fee) structure.

Answer»

Solution :Face-centred cubic (Fee) structure: In this UNIT CELL, there are 8 atoms at 8 corners and 6 atoms at 6 face centres.
Number of atoms due to 8 corner `= 8 XX (1)/(8) = 1`
Number of atoms due to 6 face centres `= (1)/(2) xx 6 = 3`
`THEREFORE` Total number of atoms in the unit cell= 1 + 3 = 4
If a is the edge length ofthe unit cell and ris theradius of the atom, the in fcc structure, `r = (a)/(2sqrt(2))`. Hence `a= 2sqrt(2)r`
Volumeof unit cell `=a^(3) = (2sqrt(2r))^(3) = 16 sqrt(2r)^(3)`
Volumeof 1 atom ` = (4)/(3) pir^(3)`
Packingfraction `=("VOLUME occupiedby 4 atoms")/("Volumeof unit cell")`
`=(4((4)/(3)pir^(3)))/(16 sqrt(2)r^(3)) = (16//3pir^(3))/(16sqrt(2)r^(3))=(pi)/(3sqrt(2))`
`=(3.142)/(3xx 1.414) = 0.74`
`therefore` Packing efficiency= 0.74 `xx` 100 = 74 %
`therefore` % of void space = 100 - 7 4 = 26 % .

Calculate packing efficiency in HCP and CCP structures. 

Answer»

Solution : LET edge length be "a" and face DIAGONAL AC = b
In `triangleABC`,
`AC^2 = b^2 = BC^2 + AB^2`
`= a^2 + a^2 = 2a^2`
`b = sqrt(2)a`
If r is the radius of the sphere
We get
`b = 4r = sqrt(2)a`
OR `a = (4r)/(sqrt2) = 2sqrt(2)r`
The number of spheres per unit CELL in CCP structure is 4.
Hence total volume of four spheres is equal to
`4 xx (4/3 pi r^3)`
and the volume of cube is equal to `a^3`
` implies a^3 = (2sqrt(2)r)^3`
% Packing EFFICIENCY =`("Volume occupied by four spheres in unit cell" xx 100)/("Volume of the unit cell")`
`=(4xx(4/3pir^3)xx100)/(2sqrt2r)^3`
=74%

Calculate packing efficiency in face centred cubic (fcc) structure.

Answer»

Solution : Face centred cubic (fcc) structure: In this UNIT cell, there are 8 atoms at 8 corners and 6 atoms at 6 face centres.
Number of atoms due to 8 corners `=8xx(1)/(8)=1`
Number of atoms due to 6 face centres `=(1)/(2)xx6=3`
`therefore` TOTAL number of atoms in the unit cell =1+3=4
If a is the edge length of the unit cell and r is the radius of the atom, then in fcc structure, `r=(a)/(2sqrt2)`. Hence `a=2sqrt2r`
Volume of unit cell `a^(3)=(2sqrt2r)^(3)=16sqrt2r^(3)`
Volume of 1 atom `=(4)/(3)pir^(3)`
`"Packing FRACTION"=("Volume occupied by 4 atoms")/("Volume of unit cell")`
`=(4((4)/(3)pir^(3)))/(16sqrt2r^(3))`
`=(16//3pir^(3))/(16sqrt2r^(3))`
`=(PI)/(3sqrt2)`
`=(3.142)/(3xx1.414)`
`=0.74`
Packing efficiency=`0.74xx100=74%`
`therefore ` % of void space=100-74=26%

Solution : In a body-centred unit cell, the spheres LOCATED at the corners donot touch each other but they are in contact with body centred atom.
In `triangleEFD`
`b^2 = a^2 + a^2`
`2a^2`
`b = sqrt(2)a`.
In `triangleAFD`
`c^2 = a^2 + b^2`
` = a^2 + 2a^2`
` = 3a^2`
`c = sqrt(3)a`
The length of the body diagonal c is equal to 4r, where r is the radius of sphere, as all three spheres along the diagonal touch each other. Therefore,`sqrt(3)a = 4r`
`a = (4r)/(sqrt3)`
Or `r = (sqrt3)/(4)a`
In BCC, the total number of ATOMS per unit cell are two. Hence the total volume of two atoms is`(2 xx 4/3 pi r^3)`
Volume of the cube = `a^3 = ((4)/(sqrt3) r)^(3)`
% PACKING efficiency =`("Volume occupied by FOUR spheres in unit cell" xx 100)/("Volume of the unit cell")`
`= (2 xx (4/3) pi r^3 xx 100)/((4/(sqrt4) r)^3) = 68%`.

Calculate % of 'free volume' available in 1 mol gaseous water at 1.0 atm and 100^(@)C .Density of liquid water at 100^(@)C is 0.958 g//mol.

Answer»

Solution :We know that PV = nRT
Volume OCCUPIED by 1 mol gaseous WATER at `100^(@)C` and 1 atm pressure`= ( 1 xx 0.0821 xx 373 )/( 1) = 30.62 ` litre
volume of 1 mol liquid water `= ( " mass")/( " density ") = ( 18) /( 0.958) = 1.88 xx 10^(-2) ` litre
% of volume occupied by liquid water `= ( 1. 88 xx 10^(-2))/( 30.62 ) xx 100 = 0.0613 %`
% of free volume = 100 - 0.0613 = 99.93%
