For weak electrolyte, sudden increase in molar conductance with dilution. Prove this statement.

Answer»

SOLUTION :For a weak electrolyte, at high CONCENTRATION the plot is almost parallel to concentration axis with slight increase in CONDUCTIVITY as the dilution INCREASES.
When the concentration approaches zero, there is a sudden increase in the molar conductance and the curve is a almost parallel to `Lambda_m` axis.
This is due to the fact that the DISSOCIATION of the weak electrolyte increases with the increase in dilution (Ostwald.s dilution law).

For unknown reaction half mole of reactant of total 2 moles reactant is converted in to product time is taken 1 hour.Then calculate how many moles of reactant is present after 4 hours?

Answer»

0.225 MOLE

0.125 mole
0

Solution :2 mole `to` for 1 mole After 1 HOUR `tot_((1)/(2))` HR.
After 1 hour `(1)/(1)` mole
`t_((1)/(2))`=1Hour so After 2 hour 0.5 mole
`therefore` every `t_((1)/(2))` time After 3 hour 0.250mole
After 4 hour 0.125 mole

For two gases A and B with molecular weights M_(A) and M_(B), it is observed that at a certain temperature T_(1) the mean velocity of A is equal to the root mean square velocity of B, thus the mean velocity of A can be made equal to the mean velocity of B if

Answer»

A is at TEMPERATURE T and B at T', `T gt T'`
A is lowered to a temperature `T_(2), T_(2) lt T` while B is at T
Both A and B are raised to a HIGHER temperature
Both A and B are placed at lower temperature

Solution :`(U_(AV))_(A)=sqrt((8RT)/(piM_(A))) and (U_(rms))_(B)=sqrt((3RT)/(M_(B)))`
`THEREFORE (8)/(3pi) =(M_(A))/(M_(B))`
For `A (U_(AV))=sqrt((8RT_(2))/(piM_(A)))" or "B V_(AV)=sqrt((8RT)/(piM_(B)))`
`(T_(2))/(T) =(M_(A))/(M_(B))=(8)/(3pi) therefore T_(2) =(8)/(3pi) T" or "T_(2) lt T`
Hence, (B) is the correct ANSWER.

For two different acids with same concentration

Answer»

The relative strngth is expressed as `(alpha_(1))/(a_(2))`
Relative strength is expressed as `(K_(a_(1)))/(K_(a_(2)))`
Relative strength is expressed as `SQRT((K_(a_(1)))/(K_(a_(2))))`
`(pH_(1))/(pH_(2))`

Solution :Let `alpha_(1), and alpha_(2)` be the degree of dissociation of TWO acids and `alpha_(1),alpha_(2)` are very small when compared to unity.
`(calpha_(1)^(2))/(1-alpha_(1))=K_(a_(1)),(calpha_(2)^(2))/(1-alpha_(2))=K_(a_(2))impliessqrt((K_(a_(1)))/(K_(a_(2))))=(alpha_(1))/(alpha_(2))=` relative strength
Hence choices (a) and (B) and (c) are correct while (b) and (d) are incorrect.
