Answer»

Molality =1.76m
`(W)/(W)%-5.66`
`(W)/(v)%=68%`
11.2 litre of `O_(2)` will be evolved at NTP.

Solution :`M_(H_(2)O_(2)) "solution"=('V')/(11.2)=(22.4)/(11.2)=2rArr` In 500 ml solution, `n_(H_(2)O_(2))=1, w_(H_(2)O_(2))=34gm`

For ""^(24)Na,t_((1)/(2))=14.8 hours. In what period of time will a sample of this substance lose 90% of its radioactive intensity ?

Answer»

Solution :Let the initial radioactive intensity be 100 which corresponds to `N^(0)`. The radioactive intensity after a time period, say t HOURS, will be 10 (CORRESPONDING to N) as the SUBSTANCE has lost 90% of its radioactive intensity.
`lamda= (0.6932)/(t_((1)/(2))) = (0.6932)/(14.8)`
We have, `lamda= (2.303)/(t) "log" (N^(0))/(N)`
`(0.6932)/(14.8) =(2.303)/(t) "log" (100)/(10)`
t= 49.17 hours.

For 10 minutes each, at 27^(@)C, from two identical holes nitrogen and an unknown gas are leaked into a common vessel of 3L capacity. The resulting pressure is 4.18bar and the mixture contains 0.4mol of nitrogen. What is the molar mass of the unknown gas?

Answer»

Solution :Let unknown gas is ‘a’ 
Here, `T = 300K, t_(N_(2)) = t_(a) = 10 "MINUTES"`, `V = 3 L = 3dm^(3), P_(T) = 4.18bar, n_(N_(2))= 0.4 "MOL"`
From Dalton’s law of PARTIAL pressures, we known that. 
`P_(T) = R_(N_(2)) + P_(a)`
`P_(T) = n_(N_(2)) (RT)/(V)+n_(2)(RT)/(V)=(n_(N_(2))+n_(2))(RT)/(V)`
`4.18 = (0.4 + n_(2)) (0.083 xx 300)/(3)`
`implies (0.4 + n_(2) ) = (4.18 xx 3)/(0.083 xx 300)= 0.5036 implies n_(2)=0.5036-0.4=0.1036`
Now, from Graham’s law of diffusion, we now that.
`(n_(N_(2)))/(n_(2))= (t_(N_(2)))/(t_(a))sqrt((M_(a))/(M_(N_(2))))implies (0.4)/(0.1036)= (10)/(10)sqrt((M_(a))/(28))implies 3.861=sqrt((M_(a))/(28))`
`M_(a)=(3.861)^(2) xx 28= 417.4`
therefore Molar mass of un NOWN gas `= 417.4 G//"mol"`.

For 10 minute each, at 27^(@)C, from two identical holes nitrogen and an unknown gas are leaked into a common vessel of 3 litre capacity. The resulting pressure is 4.18 bar and the mixture contains 0.4 mole of nitrogen. What is the molar mass of unknown gas ?

Answer»

Solution :P=4.18 bar, V=3L, T=300 K
`n_(T) =(PV)/(RT) =(4.18xx3)/(0.83xx300)=0.50`
Total mole of gases diffused =0.50 Mole of UNKNOWN GAS `n_(g)` diffused `=n_(T)-n_(N_(2))`
`=0.50 -0.40=0.10`
`(n_(g)//t_(g))/(n_(g)//t_(n_(2)))=sqrt((M_(n_(2))/(M_((g))))`
`rArr =(0.1)/(0.4) =sqrt((28)/(M_((g)))`
`rArr Mg =448" gm mole "^(-1)`

Following reactions occur at cathode during the electrolysis of aqueous silver chloride solution: Ag^(+)(aq)+e^(-)toAg(s),E^(@)=+0.80V,H^(+)(aq)+e^(-)to(1)/(2)H_(2)(g),E^(@)=0.00V On the basis of their standard reduction electrode potential (E^(@)) values, which reaction is feasible at the cathode and why?

Answer»

Solution :Higher the standard REDUCTION potential of a species, more easily it is reduced at the CATHODE. As `Ag^(+)(aq)` has GREATER standard reduction potential, therefore, the reaction that will OCCUR at the cathode is
`Ag^(+)(aq)+e^(-)TOAG(s)`.
