Sea water contains 1272 g of Mg^(2+) per metric ton (1 mega gram). How much of slaked lime must be added to 1.0 metric ton of sea water to precipitate all the Mg^(2+) ion. (give approx value in kg).

Answer»

Solution :4 KG (approx)
`Mg^(2+) + Ca (OH)_(2) darr + Ca^(2+)`
74 gm
In sea water
24 gm
24 gm of `Mg^(2+) -= 74 G Ca(OH)_(2)`
`therefore""1272 g Mg^(@+) -= (74)/(24) xx 1272 = 3922 g`
`= 3.922 kg ~~ "4 kg of Ca"(OH)_(2)`

Sea water contains 1.15 xx 10^(4) ppm of Na^(+) and 3.84 xx 10^(4)ppm of SO_(4)^(2-). Calculate sum of molar concentration of Na^(+) and SO_(4)^(2-). [Given : density of Sea water is 1 gm/ml ]

Answer»


Solution :`NA^(+) rArr 1.15 xx 10^(4) gm Na^(+)` in `10^(6)` gm of solution
`SO_(4)^(2) rArr 3.84 xx 10^(4) gm SO_(4)^(2-)` in `10^(6)` gm of solution
`M_(Na^(+)) = (((1.15 xx 10^(4))/(23)))/(10^(6)) xx 1000 = 0.5`
`M_(SO_(4)^(2-)) = (((3.84 xx 10^(4))/(96)))/(10^(6)) xx 1000 = 0.4`
`M_("TOTAL") = M_(Na^(+)) + M_(SO_(4)^(2-))`
`= 0.5 + 0.4 = 0.9`

SCI_(6) is not known but SF_(6) is known. Give reasons.

Answer»

Solution :Fluorine is a much stronger oxidising agent than chlorine, therefore, it can EASILY oxidise sulphur to its maximum oxidation state of+6 and hence FRMS `SF_(6)`. Chlorine, on the other HAND, being a WEAKER oxidising agent can oxidise sulphur at the maximum to its +4 oxidation state and hence can form `SCI_(4)` but not `SCI_(6)`.

35.

Schottky defect lowers the density of ionic crystals while Frenkel defect does not. Why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :In Schottky defect, certain cations and ANIONS are MISSING from LATTICE site resulting in decrease in mass per unit volume, i.e., density. On the other hand, in Frenkel defect, the ions do not leave the lattice but they simply change their positions from lattice points to the interstitial spaces. As a result, the density of the crystal does not change.
