Figure displays the plot of the compression factor Z veres p for a few gases Which of the following statements is//are correct for a van-der waals gas: |
|
Answer» The plot I is applicable provided the vander waals constant a is NEGLIGIBLE. `(P +(a)/(V_(m)^(2))) (V_(m) -b) = RT` When a is negligible, then `Z = (pV_(m))/(RT) = 1+(b)/(RT) P` that is `Z` increases with increaser in `p`. when `b` is negligible, then `Z = (pV_(m))/(RT) = 1 - (a)/(VRT)` increasing `p` implies decreases in `V`, which is turn, implies increase in the value of `a//VRT` and hence decrease in the value of `Z`. The curve IV is applicable provided temperature of the gas is near bit LARGER than it's critical temperature Hence, teh choice (a),(b) and (c ) are correct. |

FeSO_(4) solution mixed with (NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4) solution (in molar ratio 1 : 1) gives the test of Fe^(2+) ion but CuSO_(4) solution mixed with liquid NH_(3) (in the molar ratio 1 : 4) does not give the test of Cu^(2+).Explain why. |
| Answer» Solution :`FeSO_(4)` solution does not FORM any complex with `(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)`. INSTEAD, they form a double salt, `FeSO_(4).(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4).6H_(2)O` which dissociates COMPLETELY into ions in the solution. But `CuSO_(4)` combines with `NH_(3)` to form the complex `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]SO_(4)` in which the complex ion `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)` does not dissociate to give `Cu^(2+)` ions. | |
| 35. |
FeSO_(4) solution mixed with (NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4) solution in 1 : 1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe^(2+) ion but CuSO_(4) solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1 : 4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu^(2+) ion. Explain, why ? |
|
Answer» Solution :`FeSO_(4)` solution mixed with `(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)` solution forms a double salt, having the formula `FeSO_(4).(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4).6H_(2)O` (Mohr salt) which ionises in the solution to give `Fe^(2+)` ions. HENCE, it gives the tests of `Fe^(2+)` ions. `CuSO_(4)` solution mixed with aqueous ammonia forms a complex salt, with the formula `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]SO_(4)`. The complex ion, `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)` does not ionise to give `Cu^(2+)` ions. Hence, it does not give the tests of `Cu^(2+)` ion. |
|

FeSO_(4) solution mixed with (NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4) solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe^(2+)ion but CuSO_(4) solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4molar ratio does not give the test of Cu^(2+) ion. Explain why? |
| Answer» SOLUTION :When `FeSO_(4)` solution is mixed with `(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)` solution in `1:1` molar ratio, a double salt, `FeSO_(4).(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4).6H_(2)O` (Mohr salt), is formed. It dissociates completely in the solution to form the COMPONENT IONS `(Fe^(2+), NH_(4)^(+), SO_(4)^(2-))`. Thus, the solution gives the tests of `Fe^(2+)` ion. When `CuSO_(4)` solution is mixed with aqueous ammonia in `1:4` molar ratio, a coordination compound with the formula, `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]SO_(4)`, is formed. It ionises in the solution to form the complex cation `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)`, which does not DISSOCIATED further to produce `Cu^(2+)` ions. Hence it does not give the tests of `Cu^(2+)` ion. | |
| 37. |
FeSO_(4) solution mixed with (NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4) solution in 1 : 1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe^(2+) but CuSO_(4)solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1 : 4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu^(2+) ion. Explain why ? |
|
Answer» Solution :`FeSO_(4)` solution MIXED with `(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)` solution in 1 : 1 molar ratio forms a double salt, `FeSO_(4). (NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4).6 H_(2)O` (Mohr salt) which ionizes in the solution to GIVE `Fe^(2+)` ions. Hence, it gives the tests of `Fe^(2+)` ions. `CuSO_(4)` solution mixed with `(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)` solution in 1 : 1 molar ratio forms a complex salt, with the formula `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]SO_(4)`. The complex ion, `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)` does not ionize to give `Cu^(2+)` ions. Hence, it does not give the tests of `Cu^(2+)` ion. |
|
| 38. |
FeSO_4 solution mixed with (NH_4)_2 SO_4 solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe^(2+) but CuSO_4solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test Cu^(2+) ion. Explain why. |
| Answer» SOLUTION :`FeSO_4` Solution mixed with `(NH_4)_2 SO_4` solution in 1:1 molar ratio forms a double salt. `FeSO_4 . (NH_4)_2 SO_4 . 6 H_2 O` (MOHR salt) which ionizes in the solution to give `Fe^(2+)` ions. Hence, it gives the tests of `Fe^(2+)` ions. `CuSO_4` Solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1: 4 molar ratio forms a complex salt, with the FORMULA `[Cu(NH_3)_4 ] SO_4`.The complex ION, `[Cu(NH_3)_4]^(2+)` does not ionize to give `Cu^(2+)` ions. Hence, it does not give the tests of `Cu^(2+)` ion. | |
