|
Answer» SOLUTION :(a) Black substance will be formed in tube (i), Actually, concentrated sulphuric ACID is a powerful dehydrating agent. It dehydrates sugar `(C_(12)H_(22)O_(11))` completely to leave a black residue of carbon with the smell of burning sugar. This is called CHARRING of sugar. `underset(("Sugar"))(C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)) overset("Conc."H_(2)SO_(4)) underset("heat") to underset(("Black mass")) (12C+ 11H_(2)O)` (b) Brown gas will evolve in tube (ii). It is bromine formed on heating sodium bromide with concentrated sulphuric acid. The gas is actually yellowish brown in colour. `2NaBr+3H_(2)SO_(4) overset("heat") to2NaHSO_(4)+SO_(2)+Br_(2)+2H_(2)O` (c ) Colourless gas will evolve in tube (v). It is hydrogen CHLORIDE gas formed by heating POTASSIUM chloride with concentrated sulphuric acid. `KCl+H_(2)SO_(4) overset("heat") to KHSO_(4)+HCl(g)` (d) Brown substance cupric oxide (CuO) will be formed in the tube (iii) It will further react with conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` to form copper sulphate `(CuSO_(4))` to give a blue solution. `Cu+H_(2)SO_(4) to CuO +SO_(2)+H_(2)O` `CuO+H_(2)SO_(4) to CuSO_(4)+H_(2)O` `ul(Cu+2H_(2)SO_(4) to CuSO_(4)+SO_(2)+2H_(2)O)` (e ) Yellow powder of sulphur will disappearin tube (iv) on reacting with concentrated sulphuric acid. Sulphur dioxide, a colourless gas with pungent smell will evolve during the reaction `H_(2)SO_(4)to H_(2)O+SO_(2)+(O)xx16` `(S_(8)16O to 8SO_(2))/(S_(8)+16 H_(2)SO_(4) to 24SO_(2)+16H_(2)O)` |

Concentrated nitric acid used in laboratory work is 68% nitric acid by mass in aqueous solution. What should be the molarity of such a sample of the acid if the density of the solution 1.504 gm L^(-1) is ? |
|
Answer» Solution :Concentrated NITRIC acid used in laboratory work is 68% nitric acid by mass in an aqueous solution. This MEANS that 68 g of nitric acid is dissolved in 100 g of the solution. Molar mass of nitric acid `(HNO_(3))` `= 1xx1+1xx14+3xx16` `= 63 g mol^(-1)` Then, number of moles `HNO_(3)=(68)/(63)mol` = 1.079 mol Given, DENSITY of solution `= 1.504 g mL^(-1)` Therefore, VOLUME of 100 g solution `= (100)/(1.504)mL` `= 66.49 mL` `= 66.49xx10^(-3)L` Molarity of solution `= (1.079 mol)/(66.49xx10^(-3)L)-16.23 M` |

(iv) Formation of brown substance, which on dilution becomes blue. (v) Disappearance of yellow powder along with the evolution of a colourless gas. |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Conc. `H_2 SO_4` + Cane sugar `overset (Delta) rarr` Black substance Conc. `H_2 SO_4` acts a dehydrating AGENT, hence it removes water from cane sugar on heating and forms a black substance KNOWN as sugar charcoal. `C_12 H_22 O_11 overset (Conc. H_2 SO_4)rarr 12 C + 11 H_2 O` Thus, formation of black substance occurs in test + tube `(a)`. (II) Conc. `H_2 SO_4` + sodium bromide `overset (Delta) rarr` Brown gas On heating `NaBr` along with conc. `H_2 SO_4`, brown gas `Br_2` is evolved. Initially `Hbr` is produced, as `HBr` is a moderate reducing agent, it reduces `H_2 SO_4` to `SO_2` and itself is oxidised to bromine gas, `Br_2`. `{:(2NaBr+H_(2)SO_(4) overset(Delta)(rarr)Na_(2)SO_(4)+2HBr),(2HBr +H_(2)SO_(4) overset(Delta)(rarr)Br_(2)+SO_(2)+2H_(2)O),(ulbar(2NaBr +H_(2)SO_(4) rarr Na_(2)SO_(4) +Br_(2) +SO_(2)+2H_(2)O)):}` (iii) Potassium chloride + conc. `H_2 SO_4 overset(Delta) rarr` colourless gas `KCl` on heating with conc. `H_2 SO_4`, liberates `HCl` gas which is colourless. `2KCL + H_2 SO_4(conc.) overset(Delta) rarr K_2 SO_4 + 2 HCl` since `HCl` is not a reducing agent, it does not reduce `H_2 SO_4` to `SO_2`. Thus evolution of colourless gas occurs in test tube `( e)`. (iv) `Cu` turnings + `conc . overset (Delta) rarr` Brown substance `overset (H_2 O) underset ("Blue soln") rarr`. `Cu + 2 H_2 SO_4 overset (Delta) underset ("Anhydrous") CuSO_4 + SO_4 + H_2 O` `CuSO_4 + 5H_2 O overset (Delta) rarr overset ("copper sulphate") underset ("Blue") CuSO_4. 5 H_2 O` On heating, `Cu` turnings with `conc. H_2 SO_4`, a brownish substance, i.e., a mixture of `Cu` turnings and white anhydrous copper sulphate is formed along with evolution of pungent smelling `SO_2` gas. On dilution, the solution TURNS blue due to the formation of hydrated copper sulphate which is soluble in water. Hence, formation of brown substance, which on dilution becomes blue occurs in test tube `(c)`. (v) Sulphur powder + conc. `H_(2)SO_(4) overset(Delta)(rarr)` `{:([H_(2)SO_(4) overset(Delta)(rarr) H_(2)O +SO_(2) +[O]] xx 16),(S_(8)+16[O] rarr 8SO_(2)),(ulbar(underset("Yellow powder")(S_(8)+16H_(2)SO_(4))underset("Colourless pungent smelling gas")(rarr 24SO_(2))+16 H_(2)O)):}` (v) On heating sulphur powder, which is yellowish in colour with conc. `H_2 SO_4`, pungent smelling colourless, `SO_2` gas is produced, this yellow power disappears and the above reaction will occur in test tube (d). |
