For a reaction (1)/(2) A to 2B , rate of disapperance of 'A' is related to the rate of appearance of B by the expression

Answer»

`- (d[A])/(dt) = (1)/(4) (d[B])/(dt)`
`- (d[A])/(dt) = (d[B])/(dt)`
`- (d[A])/(dt) = 4 (d[B])/(dt)`

For a primitive cubic crystal witha = 3 xx 10^(3)m,what is the smallest diffraction angle theta, for (1 1 0) plane for lambda = 1.50 xx 10^(-10) m?

Answer»

SOLUTION :We have,
`nlambda = 2dsin theta`
and `d = a/SQRT(H^(2) + k^(2) + l^(2))`
`therefore n lambda = (2a)/sqrt(h^(2) +k^(2) + l^(2)) sin theta`
For first-degree reflection, n=1
`1 xx 1.50 xx 10^(-10) = (2 xx 3 xx 10^(10))/sqrt(1^(2) + 1^(2) +0^(2)) sin theta`
`sin theta = (sqrt(2) xx 1.50 xx 10^(-10))/(6 xx 10^(10))`
`therefore theta = 20.70^(@)`.

For a particular reversible reaction at temperature T,DeltaH and DeltaS were found to be +ve. If T_(e) is the temperature at equilibrium, the reaction would be spontaneous when

Answer»

`T_(e) GTT`
`T GT T_(e)`
`T_(e)` is 5 times T
`T=T_(e)`

SOLUTION :`DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS`
At equilibrium `DeltaG=0`
For a REACTION to be spontaneous `DeltaG` should be negative, so T should be greater than `T_(e)`.
21.

For a particular reversible reaction at temperature T, DeltaHandDeltaS were found to be both +ve. If T_(e) is the temperature at equilibrium, the reaction would be spontaneous when

Answer»

`T_(e)GTT`
`TgtT_(e)`
`T_(e)` is 5 TIMES T
`T=T_(e)`

SOLUTION :`DeltaG` should be NEGATIVE. `DeltaG=DeltaH-T_(e)DeltaS=0`
22.

For a particular reversible reaction at temperature T, DeltaH and DeltaS were found to be both +ve. If is the temperature T_(e) at equilibrium, the reaction would be spontaneous when

Answer»

`T=T_(E)`
`T_(e) GT T`
`T gt T_(e)`
`T_(e)` is 5 TIME T

Solution :`DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS""[DeltaH=+ve, DeltaS=+ve]`
`DeltaG=+ve-T_(e)(+ve)DeltaG=+ve-T_(e)(+ve)`
if`T gt T_(e)` then `DeltaG=-ve` (SPONTANEOUS).
23.

For a particular reversible reaction at temperature T. Delta H and Delta S were found to be both +ve. If T_(e) is the temperature at equilibrium, the reaction would be spontaneous when

Answer»

`T_(E)` is five times T
`T = T_(e)`
`T_(e) GT T`
`T gt T_(e)`

Solution :`Delta G = Delta H - T Delta S`
At EQUILIBRIUM, `Delta G = 0`
`0 = Delta H - T Delta S`
or `T_(e) Delta S = Delta H`
`T_(e) = (Delta H)/(Delta S)`
Since it is an endothermic reaction, its is favoured by high temperature so that `T gt T_(e)`.

For a order reaction,show that time required for 99% completion is twice the time required for the completion of 90% of reaction.

Answer»

Solution :90% reaction is complete so,CALCULATION of t (90%):
Here ,90 % reaction is complete
`therefore` REMAINING concentration is 10%
If the initial concentration =`[R]_(0)`
So, concentration after completion of 90%
Reaction=`([R]_(0)xx10)/(100)=0.1 [R]_(0)=[R]_(90)`
So,`t_(90)=(2.303)/(K)` log `([R]_(0))/([R]_(t))` `=(2.303)/(k)` log `(1)/(0.1)`{But `(1)/(0.1)`=10.0} `therefore t_(90)=(2.303)/(k)(1)=(2.303)/(k)`
99% reaction is complete,so , calculation of t(99%) : 99% reaction is complete so,1% reactant is remaining so,If the initial concentration =`[R]_(t)(99)`
`[R]_(t)=1% of [R]_(0)=(1)/(100)[R]_(0)=0.01[R]_(0)`
`t_((99%))=(2.303)/(k)` log `([R]_(0))/(0.01[R]_(0))=(2.303)/(k)xx2`
`therefore (t_(99%))/(t_(90%))=((2.303)/(k))xx2xx((k)/(2.303))=(2)/(1)`
So,if the first order reaction then time required for 99% completion is twice then time required for the completion of 90% of reaction.

For a non-ideal solution showing positive deviations, DeltaV_("mixing") is ………………..and DeltaH_("mixing") is ………… .

Answer»

SOLUTION :POSITIVE, positive
30.

For a non-ideal solution with a-ve deviation

Answer»

`Delta H_(MIX)=-ve`
`Delta V_(mix)=-ve`
`Delta S_(mix)=-ve`
`Delta G_(mix)=-ve`

Solution :Explanation : (a) For -ve deviation
`Delta H_(mix)` = -ve due to greater FORCES of attraction after mixing.
STATEMENT (a) is correct.
`Delta V_(mix)` = -ve because volume of resulting solution decreases as PARTICLES come close together.
Statement (b) is correct
`Delta G_(mix)=-ve` because
`Delta G=Delta H-T Delta S=(-)Delta H-T(+Delta S)=-ve`
Hence, choice (d) is correct.
`Delta S_(mix) =+ve`, Entropy ALWAYS increases on mixing.
Statement (c )is incorrect.
