Only the surface atoms in an adsorbent, play an active role in adsorption. These atoms posses some residual forces like vander Waal's forces and chemical forces. In the process of adsorption, weak adsorbate is substituted by strong adsorbate. Activated charcoal used in gas mask is already exposed to the atmospheric air, so the gases and water vapours in air are adsorbed on its surface. When the mask is exposed to chlorine atmosphere, the gases are displaced by chlorine. Porous and finely powdered solids, e.g., charcoal and Fuller's earth adsorb more as compared to the hard non-porous material. It is due to this property that the powdered characoal is used in gas masks. In general, easily liquefiable gases like CO_2, NH_3, Cl_2, and SO_2 etc., are adsorbed to a greater extent than the elemental gases, eg., H_2, N_2, O_2, He, etc. Which of the following gases will substitute O_2 from adsorbed charcoal |

|
Answer» SOLUTION :Moles of `C=(15.5)/(12)=1.292` Moles of `O_(2)=(pV)/(RT)=(5.5xx(0.19xx25))/(0.0821xx298)=1.068` `C+O_(2) to CO_(2)` x moles (say) x moles `C+(1)/(2)O_(2) to CO` `(1.292-x)"moles" (1.292-x)"moles"` As `O_(2)` is fully consumed, number of moles of O before reaction = number of moles of O after reaction =moles of O in `CO_(2)+"moles"` of O in CO or `2xx1.068=2x+(1.292-x)` or `x=0.844` MOLE of `CO_(2)=0.844` Mole of `CO=1.292-0.844=0.448`.

One way of writing the equation of state for real gases is PV=RT[1+(B)/(V)+….] where B is a constant. Derive an approximate expression for B in terms of the van der Waals constants a and b. |
|
Answer» Solution :The van der Waals equation for 1 MOLE of a gas is `(p+(a)/(bar(V)^(2)))(bar(V) - b) = RT` where `bar(V)` is the molar volume. or `(p+(a)/(bar(V)^(2))) = (RT)/((bar(V) - b))` or `(p bar(V) + (a)/(bar(V))) = (bar(V))/((bar(V) - b)) RT` or `(p bar(V))/(RT) + (a)/(bar(V)RT) = (bar(V))/(bar(V) - b)` `(p bar(V))/(RT) = (bar(V))/(bar(V) - b) - (a)/(RT bar(V))` `= (1)/((1-(b)/(bar(V)))) -(a)/(RT bar(V)) = (1-(b)/(bar(V)))^(-1) - (a)/(RT bar(V))` At LOW pressures, `(b)/(bar(V)) lt lt 1` so that we can expand the first term using `(1-x)^(-1) = 1 + x + x^(2) +`........... . This YIELDS the virial equation in terms of volume : `(PBAR(V))/(RT) = [1+(b)/(bar(V)) + ((b)/(bar(V)))^(2) +.....] - (a)/(RTbar(V))` `= 1 + (b-(a)/(RT))(1)/(V) + ((b)/(bar(V)))^(2) +.....` or `p bar(V) = RT [1 + (b-(a)/(RT)) (1)/(bar(V)) + ((b)/(bar(V)))^(2) +....]` Comparing with the given equation, we have `B = (b-(a)/(RT))`. |

One volume of a gaseous compound of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen on combustion produced 2 volumes of CO_(2), 3.5 volumes of H_(2)O and 0.5 volume of nitrogen under identical conditions of temperature and pressure. Find the empirical and molecular formulae of the compound. |
|
Answer» Solution :Avogadro.s principle states that equal volumes of gases contain the same number of molecules or moles `{:("Compound",rarr,CO_(2),+,H_(2)O,+,N_(2)),(1"vol",,2"vol",,3.5"vol",,0.5"vol"),(1 "mole",,2"mole",,3.5"mole",,0.5"mole"):}` Moles of C in `CO_(2)=1 xx` moles of `CO_(2)` `=1 xx 2=2` Moles of H in `H_(2)O=2 xx` moles of `H_(2)O = 2 xx 3.5= 7` Moles of N in `N_(2)=2 xx` moles of `N_(2)= 2XX 0.5=1` Hence the empirical FORMULA is `C_(2)H_(7)N` Now we see that 1 mole of the compound contains 2 moles of `CO_(2)` and 1 mole of `CO_(2)` contains 1 mole of carbon atoms, so 1 mole of the compound should contain 2 moles of carbon atoms which is shown by the empirical formula. Hence, the molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula. |
