On gram of silver gets distributed between 10cm^(3) of molten zinc and 100 cm^(3) of molten lead at 800^(@)C. The percentage of silver still left in the lead layer is approximately

Answer»

2
5
3
1

Solution :According to Nernst distribution law,
`("Conc. (%) of AG in molten Zn")/("Conc. (%) of Ag in molten PB")=K"(distribution coeff.)"`
= 300
If at equilibrium, x g of Ag is LEFT in `100cm^(3)` of molten lead, Ag that goes into `10cm^(3)` ZINC `=(1-x)g`
`therefore""(10(1-x))/(x)=300"or"10-10x=300x`
`"or"310x=10"or"x=(1)/(31)g`
Thus, out of 1 g of Ag, Ag present in Pb layer
`=(1)/(31)g`
`therefore"% of Ag left in the Pb layer "=(1)/(31)xx100~~3%`

On doubind P and V with constant temperaturee the eq1ulibrium constant will

Answer»

Remain constant
Becomne double
Become one-fourth
None of these

Solution :On doubling P and VOLUME with constnt T, the equlibrium constant (K) will remain constant.
Pressure will never affect the VALUE of K. It may result in the shifting or equlibrium but not the equlibrium constnt value. Tepmperatue always changes K because on adding heat to a system in state of equlibrium will always alter the FORWARD reaction rate differently than the reverse reaction rate. Also by doubling the volume, the concentrations of both reactants and product evently become half. Therefore overall there is no change in equlibrium constant value (K).

Oxidationof estersof (B) and (C) followed by hydrolysis givestwo isomers comnpounds (D) and (E) (C_(7) H_(6) O_(4)) which may bedecarboxylated to formC_(6) H_(6) O_(2) (F). Identigycompounds (A) to (F).

Answer»

SOLUTION :`4 D.U` and `C:H = 1:1` in `(A)` SUGGEST benzene ring with either TWO `(Me)` groups in the ring or one `(Et)` group in the side chain.

Formation of `(F)` suggests that only one `(-COOH)` is decarboxylated becuase from the above REACTION sequenceit is clear that `(F)` contains two `(OH)` groups.
Therefore. `(A)` contains `(Et)` group.

Answer»


Solution :Calculate MOLECULAR MASS of the solute (sulphur). We get `M_(2)=253`. HENCE, no. of atoms present in one molecule = 253/32 = 8, i.e., the formula is `S_(8)`.
40.

On dissolving 3.24 g of sulphur in 40 g of benzene, the boiling point of the solution was higher than sulphur? (K_(b) for benzene = 2.53 K kg mol^(-1) , atomic mass of sulphur = 32 g mol^(-1)).

Answer»

Solution :The given VALUES are:
`W_(B) = 3.24 g`, `W_(A) = 40 g`
`DeltaT_(b) = 0.81 K`, `K_(b) = 2.53 KG mol^(-1)`
Using formula, `Mw_(B) = (K_(b) xx 1000 xx W_(B)) /(DeltaT_(b) xx W_(A))`
On substituting all the values, we get
`:. Mw_(B) = (2.53 xx 1000xx 3.24) / (0.81 xx 40) = 253`
Let the molecular formula of sulphur = `S_(x)`
Atomic mass of sulphur = `32`
Molecular mass = `32 xx x`
`:. 32X = 253`
`x= (253)/(32) = 7.91 ~~ 8`
`:.` Molecular formula of sulphur `= S_(8)`
41.

On dissolving 3.24 g of sulphur in 40 g of benzene, boliling point of the solution was highter then that of benzene by 0.81 K. The molal elevation constant (K_(b)) for benzeneis 2.53 K kg mol^(-1). "What is the molecular formula of sulphur "("Atomic mass of" S=32 g mol^(-1))?

Answer»

Solution :Calculation of molecular mas of sulphur `(S_(N))`
`M_(B)=(K_(b)xxW_(b))/(DeltaT_(b)xxW_(A))`
Mass of sulphur `(W_(b))=3.24g`
`" Mass of benzene"(W_(A))=40g=0.04 kg`
Molal elevetion constant `(K_(b))=2.53 K kg mol^(-1)`
Elevation in BOILING point `(Delta T_(b))=0.81 K`
`M_(B)=((2.53 K kg mol^(-1))XX(3.24 g))/((0.81 K)xx(0.04 kg))=253g mol^(-1)`
Calcultion of molecular formula of sulphur.
Gram atomic mass of sulphur =32 g `mol^(-1)`
In `S_(n),nxx(32g mol^(-1))=253 g mol^(-1)`
`n=((253 g mol^(-1)))/((32g mol^(-1)))=7.9~~8`
Molecular formula of sulphur is `S_(8)`.
42.

On dissolving 3.24 g of sulphur in 40 g of benzene, boiling point ofsolution was higher than that of benzene by 0.81K (K_(b) = 2.53 K kg mol^(-1)). What is molecular formula of sulphur ? (Atomic mass s = 32 gmol^(-1))

Answer»

SOLUTION :`M_(B) = (K_(b) xx W_(b) xx 1000)/(Delta T_(b) xx W_(A)) = (2.53 xx 3.24 xx 10^(3))/(0.81 xx 40)`
`= 253 g mol^(-1)`
Let the molecular formula of sulphur = `S_(x)`
Atomic MASS of sulphur = 32
Molecular mass = `32 xx x`
32 x = 253
`x = 7.91 = 8`
Molecular formula of sulphur = `S_(S)`

On dissolving 2.0g of metal in sulphuric acid. 4.51g of the metal sulphate was formed. The specific heat of the metal is 0.057 cal g^(-1). What is the valency of the metal and exact atomic mass?

Answer»

Solution :Equivalent MASS of `SO_(4)^(2-)` radical
`=("Ionic mass")/("Valency")=(96)/(2)=48`
Mass of metal SULPHATE =4.51 g ltbr. Mass of metal =2.0g
Mass of sulphate radical =(4.51-2.0)=2.51g
2.51 g of sulphate combine with 2.0g of metal.
So, 48 g of sulphate will combine with
`(2)/(2.51)=48=38.24g` metal
Equivalent mass of metal =38.24
ACCORDING to Dulong and PETIT's law,
Approximate atomic mass `=(6.4)/("specific HEAT")=(6.4)/(0.057)=112.5`
`"Valency"=("Approximately atomic mass")/("Equivalent mass")`
`=(112.5)/(38.24)=2.9=3`
Exact atomic mass `=38.24xx3=114.72`.

`H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)to H^(+)+HPO_(4)^(2-)`
`HPO_(4)^(2-)to H^(+)+PO_(4)^(3-)`
Phosphoric acid does not give 1N strength.

On dissolving 19,5 g of CH_2 FCOOHin 500 g of water, a depression of 1^@Cin freczing pointof water is observed. Calculate the van't Hoff factor and dissociation constant of fluoro acetic acid. Given, K_f = 1.86 K kg "mol"^(-1)

Answer»

Solution :Use the equation :
`M_2 = (K_f xx w_2 xx 1000)/(Delta T_fxx w_1)`
where `M_2`= observed molecular mass of the solute, `K_f` = molal depression constant, `w_2` = mass of the solute, `w_1 `= mass of the solvent, `Delta T_f` = Depression in FREEZING point
Substituting the values in the above equation, we have
`M_2 = (1.86 xx 19.5 xx 1000)/(1 xx 500) = 72.54`
No. of moles of the ACID n = 19.5/76 = 0.2566
van.t HOFF factor, i=Normal MOLAR mass / Abnormal (observed) molar mass
` = (78)/(72.54) = 1.0753`
DISSOCIATION constant
`underset(C(1 - alpha))(CH_2FCOOH) iff underset(C alpha)(CH_2FCOO^(-)) + underset(C alpha)(H^(+))`
`alpha = i - 1 = 1.0753`
`K_a = ([CH_2FCOO^(-) ][H^+])/([CH_2FCOOH]) = (C alpha.C alpha)/(C(1 - alpha)) = (C alpha^2)/(1 - alpha) = C alpha^2` (neglecting a compared to 1)
` C = (19.5 xx 1000)/(78 xx 500) = 0.5 M`
`K_a = C alpha^2 = 0.5 xx (0.0753)^2 = 2.83 xx 10^(-3)`

On dissolving 0.25 g of a non-volatile substance in 30 mL of benzene (density 0.8 g mL^(-1)), its freezing point decreases by 0.40^(@)C. Calculate the molecular mass of the non-volatile substance. K_(f) for benzene is 5.12 Km^(-1) .

Answer»


SOLUTION :`W_(B)=0.25g, W_(A)=30xx0.8=24g, 0.024 KG , DeltaT_(f)=0.40^(@)C=0.40 K`
`K_(f)=5.12" K kg MOL"^(-1), M_(B)=?`
`M_(B)=(K_(f)xxW_(B))/(DeltaT_(f)xxW_(A))=((5.12" K kg mol"^(-1))xx(0.25 g))/((0.40 K)xx(0.024 kg ))=133.33" g mol"^(-1)`.
