Commericial sample of H_(2)O_(2)is labeled as 10 V. Its % strength is nearly |
|
Answer» 3 Now, decomposition of `H_(2)O_(2)` is as below: `underset((2xx34)g)(2H_(2)O_(2))rarr 2H_(2)O+underset("22400 mL (at STP)")(O_(2))` `=68g` `THEREFORE"22400 mL of "O_(2)" is OBTAINED from 68 g of "H_(2)O_(2)` `therefore"10 mL of "O_(2)" is obtained from "(68)/(22400)xx"10 g of "H_(2)O_(2)` `=0.03036g" of "H_(2)O_(2)` but this 10 mL of `O_(2)` corresponds to 0.03 g of `H_(2)O_(2)` solution APPROXIMATELY. Therefore, 1 mL of `H_(2)O_(2)` solution CONTAINS 0.03 g of `H_(2)O_(2)` `therefore"100 mL of "H_(2)O_(2)" solution contains 3 g of "H_(2)O_(2)` `therefore"% strength is 3."` |

Commercially available cone. HCI contains 38% HCI by mass density of 1.19 g cm^(3). Calculate the molarity of this solution. |
|
Answer» DENSITY of solution `=1.19" g mol"^(-3)` `"Volume of 100 g of solution"=((100g))/((1.19cm^(-3))=84 cm^(3)`. `"Molarity of solution (M)"=("Mass of HCI/Molar mass")/("Volume of solution in dm"^(-3))=((38.0g)//(36.5" g mol"^(-1)))/(84//1000(DM^(3)))=12.39 m`. |

Commercially available concentrated hydrochloric acid contains 38% HCl by mass. (a) What is the molarity of this solution ? The density is 1.19 g cm^(-3) (b) What volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid is required to make 1.00 L of 0.10 M HCl ? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :CALCULATION of molarity. `38%` HCL by mass means that 38 g of HCl are present in 100 g of the solution. `"Volume of 100 g of the solution"=("Mass ")/("Density")=(100g)/(1.19"g cm"^(-3))=84.03cm^(3)=0.0840L` Molar mass of HCl = `36.5"g mol"^(-1)` `therefore"38 g HCl"=(38)/(36.5)"moles"=1.04" moles"` `"Molarity of solution "=(1.04"moles")/(0.0840L)=12.38"mol L"^(-2)`, i.e., Molarity of the solution = 12.38 M (b) Calculation of volume of conc. HCl for 1.00 L of 0.10 M HCl. Applying molarity equaton, we have `{:(M_(1)xxV_(1),=,""M_(2)xxV_(2)),("(conc. HCl)",,"(1.0 L of 0.10 M HCl)"),(12.38xxV_(1),=,""0.10xx1.0):}` `"or"V_(1)=(0.1)/(12.38)L=(0.1)/(12.38)xx1000cm^(3)=8.1cm^(3)` |

Commercially available conc. HCl contains 38% HCl by mass and has a density 1.19 g cm""^(-3). Calculate the molarity of this HCI. |
|
Answer» Solution :38% HCl by mass CONTAINS 38 g of HCl in 100 g of solution. Density =`("mass")/(" Volume")` `1.19=(100 )/("volume")` `therefore `Volume of 100 g of solution`= (100 )/(1.19 )`ml. `therefore `STRENGTH of solution `= (38 )/((100)/(1.19 ))xx 1000` `=(38 xx 1.19 xx 1000 )/(100 ) gL^(-1)` MOLECULAR mass of HCI` = 36.5` `therefore `MOLARITY of HCl `= (38 xx 1.19 xx 1000)/(100 xx36.5)` `=( 38 xx 11.9 )/( 36.5 ) =12.39` |

Comment on the statement that the element of the first transition series possess many properties different those of heavier transition elements. |
|
Answer» Solution :The given statement is true as explained below `:` (i) ATOMIC radii of the heavier transition elements ( 4d and 5d series ) are larger than those of the corresponding elements of the FIRST transitionseries though those of 4d and 5d series are very CLOSE to each other. (ii) For first transition series, `+2` and `+3` oxidationstates are more common whereas for heavier transition elements, higher oxidation states are more common( as DISCUSSED in Question) (iii) Melting and boiling POINTS of heavier transition elements are greater thanthose of the first transition series due tostronger intermetallic bonding ( M-M bonding) . (iv) Ionization enthalpiesof 5d series are higher than the corresponding elements of 3d and 4d series. (vi ) The elements of the firsttransition series form low spin or high spin complexesdepending upon the strength of the ligand field.However, the heavier transition elements form low spin complexes irrespective of the strength of the ligand field. |

Comment on the statement that elements of the first transition series possess many properties different from those of heavier transition elements. |
|
Answer» Solution :The give statement in true as explained below: (a). Atomic radii of the heavier transition elements `(4d` and `5d` SERIES) are larger than those of the CORRESPONDING elements of the first transition series though those of `4d` and `5d` series are very close to each other. (b). Melting and boiling points of hevier transition elements are GREATER than those of the first transition series due to STRONGER entermetallic bonding. (c). Enthalpies of ATOMISATION of `4d` and `5d` series are higher than the corresponding elementsof the rirst series. (d). Inisation enthalpies of `5d` series are higher than the corresponding elements of `3d` and `4d` series. |

Comment on the statement that "colloid is not a substance but state of a substance". |
| Answer» Solution :The given statement is true . This is because the statement may exist as a colloid under certain conditions and as a crystalloid under certain other conditions . E.g., NACL in WATER behaves as a crystalloid while in benzene , behaves as a colloid (CALLED associated colloid ). It is the size of the particles while MATTERS i.e., the state in which the substance exist . If the size of the particles lies in the range 1 nm to 100 nm it is in the colloid state. | |

Comment on the statement that elements of the first transition series posses many properties different form those of heavier transition elements. |
|
Answer» Solution :The heavier transition elements belong to fourth (4d), fifth (5d) and sixth (6d) transition series. Their properties are expected to be different from the elements belonging to the first (3d) series due to the following REASONS : (i) Atomic radii of heavier transition elements (4d- and 5d-series) are larger than those of the corresponding elements of the first transition series though those of 4d- and 5d-series are very close to each other. (ii) Ionization ENTHALPIES of 5d-series are HIGHER than the corresponding elements of 3d- and 4d-series. (iii) Enthalpies of atomisation of 4d- and 5d-series are higher than the corresponding elements of the first series. (iv) MELTING and boiling points of heavier transition elements are greater than those of the first transition series due to stronger inter-metallic BONDING. |

Comment on the statement that "Colloid is not a substance but state of a substance," |
| Answer» Solution :The give statement is true. This is because the same substance may exist as a colloid unde certain conditions and as a crystalloid under certain other conditions. For example, NaCl in water behaves as a crystalloid while in BENZENE, it behaves as a colloids. Similarly, dilute SOAP solution behaves like a crystalloid while concentrated solution behaves as a colloid (CALLED associated colloid). It is the SIZE of the particles which matters, i.e., the state in which the substance exists. If the size of the particles lies in the RANGE 1 nm to 100 nm, it is in the colloidal state. | |

Comment on the statement that "colloid is not a substance but a state of substance". |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :"Colloids is not a substance but a state of substance" is a true statement. Because there are some substances which are crystalloid under certain conditions but colloid under the other, e.g., NACL is such substance which is called a crystalloid and behaves as a crystalloid in aqueous medium. But when MIXED with benzene, it behaves as colloids. So, the above statement is correct. Moreover, the DIAMETER of COLLOIDAL particles range from 1 to 1000 nm. If particle diameter is lesser than 1 nm, the solution is true solution and if it is more than 1000 nm, the solution is a suspension. The colloidal state is an intermediate state between these two. |
