Calculate the distance between (111) planes in a crystal of Ca. Repeat the calculation for the (2 2 2) planes. Which planes are closer?

Answer»

Solution :We have,
`d =a/sqrt(h^(2) + K^(2) + l^(2))`
`d_(111) = 0.556/sqrt(1^(2) + 1^(2) + 1^(2)) = 0.321 nm`
and `d_(222) = 0.556/sqrt(2^(2) + 2^(2) + 2^(2)) = 0.161 nm`
The separation of the (1 1 1) planes is TWICE as great as that of the (2 2 2) planes.

Answer»

Solution :SUPPOSE WATER contains X moles per litre (or X eq./L) of `H^(+)` IONS (or `OH^(-)` ions).
`because` X equivalents of `H^(+)` ions are produced from X eq. of water
`therefore` volume (cc) containing 1 eq. of water which dissociated into its ions
`= (100)/(X)`.
`therefore` eq. conductance of water = sp. cond. `xx` V
`= 5.8 xx 10^(-8) xx (1000)/(X)`
Since water dissociated feebly, i.e, water may be considered to be a diliute solution of `H^(+)` and `OH^(-)` ions.
`Lambda_(H_(2)O) = Lambda_(H_(2)O)^(@) = lambda_(H)^(@) + lambda_(OH^(-))^(@)`
`therefore 5.8 xx 10^(-8) xx (1000)/(X) = 350 + 198 = 548`.
`therefore X = 1.0 xx 10^(-7)`
`therefore [H^(+)] = [OH^(-)] = 1 xx 10^(-7)`
For the equilibrium,
`H_(2)O = H^(+) + OH^(-)`
Equilibrium constant (K) `= ([H^(+)][OH^(-)])/([H_(2)O])`
`K_(w) = K xx [H_(2)O] = [H^(+)][OH^(-)]`
`= 1.0 xx 10^(-7) xx 1.0 xx 10^(-7) = 1 xx 10^(-14)`
`therefore K = (K_(w))/([H_(2)O]) = (1xx 10^(-14))/(55.5) = 1.8 xx 10^(-16)` mole/litre.
`([H_(2)O] = (1000)/(18) = 55.5 " mole/litre")`

Since water dissociates feebly, i.e., water may be considered to be a dilute solution of `H^(+)` and `OH^(-)` ions.
`Lamda_(H_(2)O)=Lamda_(H_(2)O)^(@) =lamda_(H)^(@) +lamda_(OH^(-))^(@)`
`:. 5.8 xx 10^(-8) xx (1000)/(X)=350 +198 =548`
`:. X = 1.9 xx 10^(-7)`
`:. [H^(+)]=[OH]=1 xx 10^(-7)`ltbtgt For the EQUILIBRIUM, `H_(2)O = H^(+) + OH^(-)`
Equilibrium constant `(K)=([H^(+)][OH^(-)])/([H_(2)O])`
`K_(w)=K xx [H_(2)O]=[H^(+)O]==[H^(+)][OH]`
`=1.0 xx 10^(-7) xx 1.0 xx 10^(-7) = 1 xx 10^(-14)`
`:. K=(K_(w))/([H_(2)O]) =(1 xx 10^(-14))/(55.5) =1.8 xx 10^(-16) "mole/L"`
`([H_(2)O]=(1000)/(18) =55.5 "mole/L")`.

Calculate the depression in the freezing point of water when 10 g of CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH is added to 250 g of water. K_(a)=1.5xx10^(-3),K_(f)=1.86" K kg mol"^(-1)

Answer»

Solution :`"MOLAR MASS of "CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH=15+14+13+35.5+45="122.5 g mol"^(-1)`
`"10 g of "CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH=(10)/(122.5)" mole"=8.16xx10^(-2)" mole"`
`therefore"Molality of the solution (m)"=(8.16xx10^(-2)" mole")/("250 g")xx"1000 g kg"^(-1)=0.3264`
If `alpha` is the degree of dissociation of `CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH`, then
`{:(,CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH,hArr,CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOO^(-),+,H^(+)),("Initial CONC.","C mol L"^(-1),,"0",,"0"),("At eqm.",""C(1-alpha),,""Calpha,,Calpha):}``therefore""K_(a)=(Calpha.Calpha)/(C(1-alpha))~=Calpha^(2)or alpha=SQRT((K_(a))/(C))=sqrt((1.4xx10^(-3))/(0.3624))=0.065`
The CALCULATE van't Hoff factor :
`{:(,CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH,hArr,CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOO^(-),+,H^(+)),("Initial moles","1",,,,),("Moles at eqm.",""1-alpha,,""alpha,,alpha):}`
`i=(1+alpha)/(1)=1+alpha=1+0.065=1.065=1.065" ,"DeltaT_(f)=iK_(f)m=(1.065)(1.86)(0.3264)=0.65^(@)`.

Calculate the depression in the freezing point of water when 10 g of CH_(3)CH_(2)CHCl COOH is added to 250 g of water. K_(a)=1.4xx10^(-3), K_(f)=1.86" K kg mol"^(-1).

Answer»

Solution :Molar mass of `CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH`
`=15+14+13+35.5+12+16+16+1`
`= 122.5 g mol^(-1)`
Therefore, No. of moles present in 10 g `CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH`
`=(10 g)/(122.5 g mol^(-1))`
= 0.0816 mol
It is given that 10 g of `CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH` is added to 250 g of water.
Therefore, Molality of the solution,
`=(0.0186)/(250)xx1000`
`=32.64 " mol kg"^(-1)`
Let a be the degree of dissociation of `CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH`.
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH` UNDERGOES dissociation according to the following EQUATION :
`{:("Initial",CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH,hArr,CH_(3)CHClCOO^(-),+,H^(+)),("conc. At",C,,O,,O),("equilibrium",C(1-alpha),,C alpha,,C alpha):}`
`K_(a)=(C^(2)x^(2))/(C(1-x))`
Since x is very small with respect to 1 so x can be ignored, `1-alpha =1`
Now,
`K_(a)=(cx^(2))/(1)`
`x=((K_(4))/(C ))^(0.5)`
`= sqrt((1.4xx10^(-3))/(0.3264)) (because K_(a)=1.4xx10^(_3))`
= 0.0655
Again,
`{:("Again,",CH_(3)CH_(2)CHClCOOH,hArr,CH_(3)CHClCOO^(-),+,H^(+)),("initial","1 mol",,0,,0),("equilibrium",1-x,,x,,x):}`
i(Vant Hoff factor) `= 1-x+x+x=1+x`
`= 1+0.0655`
= 1.0655
Hence, the depression in the freezing point of water is given as :
`Delta T_(f)=i.K_(f).m`
`=1.0655xx1.86" K kg mol"^(-1)xx0.3264 " mol kg"^(-1)`
= 0.65 K

Calculate the concentration of all species of significant concentration present in 0.1MH_(2)PO_(4) solution K_(a_(1))=6.2xx10^(-8),K_(a_(3))=3.6xx10^(-13).Take 0.075xx4.075=(0.555)^(2)

Answer»

Solution :`{:(I step,H_(3)PO_(4) hArr H^(+)+H_(2)PO_(4)^(-),K_(a_(1))=7.5xx10^(-3)),(II step,H_(2)PO_(4)hArr H^(+)+HPO_(4)^(2-),K_(a_(2))=6.2xx10^(-8)),(III step,HPO_(4)^(2-)hArrH^(+)+PO_(4)^(3-),K_(a_(3))=3.6xx10^(-13)):}`
For `I` step :`underset(0.1(1-alpha))underset(0.1)(H_(3)PO_(4))hArr underset(0.1alpha)underset(0)(H^(+))+underset(0.1alpha)underset(0)(H_(2)PO_(4)^(-))`
`K_(a_(1))=([H^(+)][H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)])/([H_(3)PO_(4))]rArr(0.1alpha^(2))/((1-alpha))=7.5xx10^(-3)....(1)`
Excepting `alpha ltlt1,alpha^(2)=7.5xx10^(-2):.alpha=0.274` (not negligible)
so solve QUADRATIC equation (1) & GET=`alpha=0.24`
`:.[H^(+)]=0.24MrArr [OH^(-)]=(10^(-14))/(0.024)=4.17xx10^(-13)M` ("insignificant")
&`[H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)]=0.024M`
Also `[H_(3)PO_(4)^(-)]=0.1-0.024=0.076M`
The value of `K_(a_(2))` and `K_(a_(3))`.Also dissociations of `II` and `III` steps occur in present of `H^(+)` furnished in `I` step and thus ,dissocations of `II` and `III` steps are further suppressed due to common ion effect.
For `II` step `underset(0.024-y)underset(0.024)(H_(2)PO_(4)^(-))hArr underset(0.024-y)underset(0.024)H^(+)+underset(y)underset(0)(HPO_(4)^(2))`
The dissocation of `H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)` occurs in PRESENCE of `[H^(+)]` furnished in step `I`.
Thus `K_(a_(2))=([H^(+)][HPO_(4)^(-)])/([H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)])`
`6.2xx10^(-8)=((0.024+y)y)/((0.24-y))`
`:.y` is small `:.0.024-y~~0.024` and neflecting `y^(2)`
`6.2xx10^(-8)=(0.024y)/(0.024)`
`y=6.2xx10^(-8)M`
or `[HPO_(4)^(2-)]=K_(a_(2))=6.2xx10^(-8)M` (insignificant)
for `III` step `underset((6.2xx10^(-5)-x))(HPO_(4)^(2-))hArr underset((0.024+x))(H^(+))+underset(x)(PO_(4)^(3-))`
`K_(3)=([H^(+)][PO_(4)^(3-)])/([HPO_(4)^(2-)])=((0.24+x)x)/((6.2xx10^(-8)-x))`
because `x ` is small :.Again neglecting `x^(2)` and assuming `6.2xx10^(-6)-x=6.2xx10^(-8)`
`:.3.6xx10^(-13)=(0.024x)/(6.2xx10^(-8))`
`:.x=(3.6xx10^(-13)xx6.2xx10^(-8))/(0.024)=9.3xx10^(-19)M`
or `[PO_(4)^(3-)]=9.3xx10^(-19)M` (insufficant)
Note: For weak polyprotic acid solution having no other electrolyte the anion concentration produced in step of dissocation is ALWAYS equal to`K_(a_(2))` if concentration is reasonable.

Answer»

Solution :Compressbility factor (Z) `= (30 xx 5)/(.0821 xx 263) = 0.69`
Applying IDEAL gas EQUATION :
`pV = nRT`
`p xx .5 = 1 xx .0821 xx 263`

Calculate the compressibility factor for SO_(2), if 1 mole of it occupies 0.35 litre at 300 K and 50 atm. Also comment on the result.

Answer»

Solution :P=50 atm, V=0.35 litre, T=300 K, n=1
`therefore Z=(PV)/(NRT) -(50xx0.35)/(1xx0.0821xx300)=0.711`
The Z values are lesser than unity and thus, we can conclude the FOLLOWING
(a) In `SO_(2)` ATTRACTIVE forces predominates, i.e. gas can be compressed easily
(b) `(V_(M))/(V_(M"ideal") lt 0.711" or "V_(M)` is lesser than the volume of ideal gas.
In other words gas is more COMPRESSIBLE than ideal gas.

Calculate the charge in coulombs required for the oxidation of: (i) 2 moles of H_(2)O to O_(2)

Answer»

Solution :(i) The electrode reaction for 1 mole of `H_(2)O` is:
`H_(2)O to H_(2)+(1)/(2)O_(2), i.e., O^(2-) to (1)/(2)O_(2)+2e^(-)` or `2H^(+)+2e^(-)toH_(2)`
or `H_(2)Oto2H^(+)+(1)/(2)O_(2)+2e^(-)`
`therefore` QUANTITY of electricity required for oxidation of 1 MOL of `H_(2)O=2F`
or Quantity of electricity required for oxidation of 2 moles of `H_(2)=4F=4xx96500C=386000C`
(ii) The electrode reaction for 1 mole of FEO is: `FeOto(1)/(2)Fe_(2)O_(3), i.e., Fe^(2+) to Fe^(3+)+e^(-)`
`therefore` Quantity of electricity required`=1F=96500C`.
