An alcohol (A) gives Lucas test within 5 min. 7.4 g of alcohol when treated with sodium metal liberates 1120 mL of H_2 at STP. What will be alcohol (A)?

Answer»

`CH_(CH_2)_3OH`
`CH_3CH(OH)CH_2CH_3`
`(CH_3)_3OH`
`CH_3CH(OH) CH_2CH_2CH_3`

Solution :`ROH+Na rarr RONa+1//2H_(2)uarr`
We have to get molecular mass of alcohol corresponding to half mole of `H_(2)` only.
No .of moles of `H_(2)` =No.of moles of alcohol
`1120/11200=7.4/(MM) rArr MM=74`
`C_(n)H_(2N+1) OH=rarr C_(n)H_(2n+1)=74-17=57`
`rArr C_(n)H_(2n)=57-1=56``i.e.12n+2n=14n=56`
`rArr n=56//14=14` Thus molecular formula of (A) is `C_(4)H_(9)OH`. As (A) gives Lucas test within 5 min, thus `2^@`alcohol corresponding to molecular formula `C_(4)H_(9)OH` is `CH_(3)CH(OH)CH_(2)CH_(3)` (butan -2-ol).

An acidic solution of Cu^(2+) salt containing 0.4 g of Cu^(2+) is electrolysed until all the copper is deposited. The electrolysis is continued for seven more minutes with the volume of the solution kept at 100 mL and the current at 1.2 amp. Calculate the volume of gases evolved at NTP during the entire electrolysis.

Answer»

Solution :Let us suppose that the acidic solution of `Cu^(2+)` salt contains `H_(2)SO_(4)`.
In the beginning of electrolysis, Cu will be deposited at the cathode and `O_(2)` will DISCHARGED at ANODE.
`Cu^(2+) + 2e rarr Cu` (at cathode)
`{:(2OH^(-) rarr 2OH + 2e),(2OH rarr H_(2)O + (1)/(2)O_(2)):}}` (at anode)
`therefore` equivalent of oxygen evolved = eq. of Cu deposited
`= (0.4)/(31.8)`
`therefore` volume of `O_(2)` (at NTP) evolved`= (0.4)/(31.8) xx 5600 = 70.44 mL`.
(1 eq. of oxygen at NTP = 5600 mL)
During another even minutes (420 s) of electrolysis, `H_(2)` and `O_(2)` will evolve at cathode and anode RESPECTIVELY.
Now, CHARGE `= 1.2 xx 420 = 504` COULOMBS `= (504)/(96500)F`.
`therefore` eq. of `H_(2)` evolved `= (504)/(96500)`. (at cathode)
Volume of `H_(2)` evolved at NTP `= (504)/(96500) xx 11200 = 58.49 mL`.
(1 eq. of `H_(2)` at NTP = 1200 mL)
Eq. of `O_(2)` evolved `= (504)/(96500)` (at anode)
`therefore` volume of `O_(2)` evolved at NTP `= (504)/(96500) xx 5600 = 29.24 mL`.
Thus, during the entire electrolysis,
`H_(2)` evolved = 58.49 mL
`O_(2)` evolved = (70.44 + 29.24) mL
= 99.68 mL.

An acidic solution of Cu^(2+) salt containing 0.4 g of Cu^(2+) is electrolysed until all the copper is deposited. The electrolysis is continued for seven more minutes with the volume of solution kept at 100 ml and the current at 1.2 amp. Calculate the volume of gases evolved at NTP during the entire electrolysis.

Answer»

`O_2 = 99.79 ml, H_2 = 48.45 ml`
`O_2 = 87.91 ml , H_2 = 58.48 ml `
`O_2 = 99.79 ml , H_2 = 58.48 ml `
`O_2 = 100 ml , H_2 = 50 ml`

Solution :`aq. CuSO_4 to CU + (1)/(2) O_2 + H_2SO_4 , (W_1)/(E_1) =(W_2)/(E_2) implies (0.4)/(63.5//2) = (W_2)/(8) = 0.0504 xx 2 GM = 0.10072`
`V_(O_2)(1) = 2 xx (0.0504)/(2) xx 22.4 = 35.27 ml = 70.55 ml`
But ` aq. CuSO_4 ("prolonged")/("ELECTROLYSIS") H_2 + (1)/(2) O_2 = 70.55 mm`
` 2 xx 96500 "coul" to 22.4 ltrs " of " H_2 & 11.2 ltrs " or "O_2 , (1.2 xx 7 xx 60) " coul" to V_(H_2) =? & V_(O_2(2)) =?`
` V_(H_2) = (1.2 xx 7 xx 60 xx 22.4)/( 2 xx 96500) = 58.495 ml " of" H_2 , V_(O_2(2)) = (1.2 xx 7 xx 60 xx 11.2)/(2 xx 96500) = 29.248 ml`
` V_(O_2(1)) iff 70.55 ml , V_(O_2)(1) + (2) = 99.799 ml HO_2 , V_(H_2) = 58.5ml , V_(O_2) = 99.8 ml " of " O_2`
