For an elementary reaction 2A+B to 3C the rate of disappearance of C at time t is 1.3xx10^(-4)"mol L"^(-1)s^(-1). Calculate atthis time (i) rate of the reaction. (ii) rate of disappearance of A.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Rate of the REACTION `= =(1)/(3)(d[C])/(dt)= +(1)/(3)xx1.3xx10^(-4)=4.33xx10^(-5)"mol L"^(-1)s^(-1)""…(1)`
(ii) Rate of disappearance of A
Rate of reaction `= -(1)/(2)` Rate of disappearance of A
or Rate of disappearance of A, `(d[A])/(dt)= -2xx` Rate or reaction
Substituting the value of rate of reaction from (1)
Rate of disappearance of `A=-2xx4.33xx10^(-5)"mol L"^(-1)s^(-1) `
`=-8.66xx10^(-5)"mol L"^(-1)s^(-1)`
`=8.66xx10^(-5)"mol L"^(-1)s^(-1)` (Ignoring the NEGATIVE sign)

For an elementary reaction 2A+B to 3C the rate of appearance of C at time 't' is 1.3xx10^(-4)"mol L"^(-1)s^(-1). Calculate at this time (i) rate of the reaction. (ii) rate of disappearance of A.

Answer»

Solution :RATE of reaction `= =(1)/(3)(d[C])/(DT)= +(1)/(3)xx1.3xx10^(-4)=4.33xx10^(-5)"mol L"^(-1)s^(-1)`
Rate of disappearance of `A=(d[A])/(dt)`
Rate of reaction `=-(1)/(2)(d[A])/(dt)`
Substituting the values, we GET
`4.33xx10^(-5)= -(1)/(2)(d[A])/(dt) or (d[A])/(dt)= -2xx4.33xx10^(-5)`
`= -8.66xx10^(-5)=8.66xx10^(-5)` (Removing - sign)

For an aqueous solution of NH_4 CI, prove that [H^+]=sqrt(K_(a).C)

Answer»

Solution :`NH_4 CI` is a SALT of a strong acid HCI and weak base `NH_4 OH`.
`HCI_((aq))+NH_4 OH_((aq)) hArr NH_4 CI_((aq))+H_2O(I)`
`NH_(4)^(+)` is a strong conjugate acid of the weak base `NH_4OH` and it has a tendency to react with `OH^-` from water to produce unionised `NH_4OH` shown below.
`NH_(4)^(+)+H_2O(I) hArr NH_4 OH_((aq))+H_((aq))^(+)`
There is no such tendency shown by `CI^-` and therefore `[H^+] gt [OH^-]` , the solution is acidic and the pH is less than 7.
s discussed in the salty HYDROLYSIS of strong base and weak acid. In this case also, we can establish a RELATIONSHIP between the `K_n and K_b` as
`K_H. K_b=K_w`
Let us calculate the `K_h`value in terms of degree of hydrolysis (h) and the concentration of salt
`K_h=h^2 C and [H^+]=sqrt(K_h. C)`
`[H^+]=sqrt((K_w)/(K_b). C)`
`pH=-log[H^+]`
`=-log.(K_w. C)/(K_b)^(1/2)`
`=-(1)/(2)logK_w-(1)/(2)LOGC+(1)/(2)logK_(b)`
`pH=7-(1)/(2)pK_(b)-(1)/(2)logC`.

For anaqueous solution of the same solute , in terms of concentration,

Answer»

1 M =1 m
1 M gt 1 m
1 m gt 1 M
Any of these is possible

Solution :1M solution contins 1 mole of the solute in 1000 C.C of the solution which includes the solute i.e. mass of solvent is LESS than 1000 g as 'd' of `H_(2)O`1 g /CC. Thus 1 M solution contains 1 mole of solute in less than 1000g of solvent, whereas 1 m solution has 1 mole of solute in 1000 g of solvent. Hence 1 M is more concentrated than 1m.
