1.

Solubility curve of Na_(2)SO_(4).10H_(2)O in water with temperature is given as

Answer»

SOLUTION process is EXOTHERMIC
Solution process is exothermic till `32.4^(@)C` and endothermic after `32.4^(@)C`
Solution process is endothermic till `32.4^(@)` and exothermic thereafter
Solution process is endothermic

Solution :Below `34^(@)C, Na_(2)SO_(4).10H_(2)O` exists as such, since in this part solubility increases. This IMPLIES that process must be endothermic. Thereafter, solubility DECREASE with rise in temperature. It means that the solution process is exothermic. In fact after `34^(@)C` the substance exists in anhydrous state `Na_(2)SO_(4)`.
2.

Solubility curve of a hydrated salt in water with temperature is given. The curve indicates that the solution process is

Answer»

exothermic temperature
exotehrmic till `60^(@)C` and ENDOTHERMIC after `60^(@)C`
endothermic till `60^(@)C` and exothermic there-after
endothermic

Solution :Since solubility increases with INCREASE in temperature upto `60^(@)C`, the process is endothermic upto `60^(@)C`. After `60^(@)C` solubility DECREASES with increase in temperature, THUS after `60^(@)C`, the process is exothermic.
3.

Solubility curve of Na_(2)SO_(4).10 H_(2)O in water with temperature is given as

Answer»

`Delta H` is -ve after `34^(@)C`
SOLUTION process is exothermic till `34^(@)C` and ENDOTHERMIC after `34^(@)C`
solution process is endothermic till `34^(@)C` and exothermic thereafter
`DELTAH` is-ve after `34^(@)C`

Solubilities of three sparingly soluble salts XY(K_(sp)),XY_(2)(K'_(sp)) and X_(2)Y_(3)(K''_(sp)) are equal in water. What will be the correct order of their solubility products

Answer»

`K_(sp)ltK'_(sp)ltK''_(sp)`
`K_(sp)ltK''_(sp)ltK'_(sp)`
`K''_(sp)ltK'_(sp)ltK_(sp)`
`K''_(sp)ltK_(sp)ltK'_(sp)`

Solution :Since for sparingly soluble SALTS, solubility will be less then one. Therefore as the POWERS of s increases in `K_(sp)` EXPRESSION, MAGNITUDE of `K_(sp)` will BECOME smaller.

Solid BaF_2 is added to a solution containing 0.1 mole of sodium oxalate solution (1 litre) until equilibrium is reached.If the Ksp of BaF_2 and BaC_2O_4(s) is 10^(-6) & 10^(-7) respectively.Assume addition of BaF_2 does not cause any change in volume and no hydrolysis of any of the cations or anions. (Given :sqrt116=10.77) If concentration of Ba^(2+) ions in resulting solution at equilibrium is represented as 2.7xx10^(-4), then x is :

Answer»


Solution :`BaF_2(s)toBa^(2+)(AQ.)+2F^(-)(aq)`
Let 'S' be the solubility of `BaF_2` , but `Ba^(2+)` REACTS with `C_2O_4^(2-)` present in this solution & almost completely convert into `BaC_2O_4`
`Ba^(2+)+ C_2O_4^(2-)toBaC_2O_4(s)`
Let y mole PER it. of `Ba^(2+)` is left after reaching equilibrium
So, `underset(y)(Ba^(2+))+underset(0.1-s)(C_2O_4^(2-))toBaC_2O_4(s) " " Keq=10^(-7)`
So, we get the following two equations,
`y(0.1-s)=10^(-7) " &" y(2S)^2=10^(-6)=(K_(sp))BaF_2`
Solving there two equations,
we get, S=0.096 M
So , `[C_2O_4^(2-))=0.1-0.096=4xx10^(-3) M`
`[F^(-)]=2s=2xx0.096=0.192 M`
`[Ba^(2+)]=y=2.7xx10^(-5)M`
