Surcose decomposes in acid solution into glucose and fructose according to the first order rate law .with t_((t)/(2))=3.00 hours.What fraction of sample of surcose remains after 8 hours?

Answer»

Solution :`"surcose"_((AQ))overset(H^(+))to"Glucose"_((aq))+"Fructose"_((aq))`
The reaction is FIRST order where ,`t_((1)/(2))=3.00` hours
`therefore` So, `K=(0.693)/(t)=(0.693)/(300h)=0.231 hr^(-1)`
CALCULATE fraction of sample of sucroso REMAINS after 8 hours.
Suppose the initial con.of sucrose=`[R]_(0) mol L^(1)`
Remaining concentration of sucrose after 8 hours =`[R]_(t) mol L^(-1)`
So,`("Sucrose in initial")/("Sucrose after t time")=([R]_(0))/([R]_(t))`
k=`(2.303)/(t)` log `([R]_(0))/([R]_(t))`
For first order reaction ,
`therefore 0.231 hr^(-1)=(2.303)/(8 hr) log ([R]_(0))/([R]_(t))`
`therefore log ([R]_(0))/([R]_(t))=(0.231 hr^(-1)xx8 hr)/(2.303)=0.8024`
Remaining sucrose after 8 hour =`[R]_(t)` and
Fraction of remaining sucrose `([R]_(0))/([R]_(t))`
`therefore` Fraction of remaining sucrose =`(1)/(([R]_(0))/([R]_(t)))=(1)/(6.3445)`

Suppose we have cube of 1.00 cm length. It is cut in all three directions, so as to produce eight cubes, each 0.50 cm on edge length. Then suppose these 0.50 cm cubes are each subdivided into eight cubes 0.25 cm on edge length, and so on. How many of these successive subdivisions are required before the cubes are reduced in size to colloidal dimensions of 100 nm.

Answer»

Solution :We find that every division in two equal halves also reduces the size of edge LENGTHS to one half.
In first subdivision 1 cm is reduceds to `0.5 cm = (1)/(2) cm.`
In second subdivision 0.5 cm is reduced to `0.25 cm = (1)/(4) cm = ((1)/(2))^(2) cm`
In n subdivision 1 cm is reduced to `((1)/(2))^(n)`. Size of colloidal particles lies between 1 to 1000 mm.
Thus to make n subdivision required PARTICLE size may be ATTAINED.
`((1)/(2))^(n) = 100 nm = 100 xx 10^(-9) m = 100 xx 10^(-7) cm.`
n log 2 = 5
`n xx 0.3010 = 5.`
`n = (5)/(0.3010) = 16.61 = 17` subdivisions are required for dimension of 100 nm.

Suppose 250 mL of a 0.433 M solution of CuCl_(2) is electrolysed. How long will a current of 0.75 A have to run in order to reduce the concentration of Cu^(2+) to 0.167 M? What mass of Cu(s) will be deposited on the cathode during this time ?

Answer»

Solution :Mole of `Cu^(2+)` reduced `= 0.433 XX 0.250 - 0.167 xx 0.250`
= 0.0665.
Wt. of Cu deposited `= 0.0665 xx 63.5g`

Support the statement given below with relevent examples.

Answer»

Solution :"The choce of a reducing agent in a particular case depends on the thermodyanmics factor".
The STATEMENT is correct. We consider both relations,
`DELTA G = Delta H -T Delta S` (or) `Delta G^(@) = -RT "inK"`
For a particular reducing agent to WORK with a metallic OXIDE.
(i) the value of `Delta G` should be negative.
(II) `Delta S` should be positive.

Answer»

Solution :H is an oxime `HOCH_(2)(CHOH)_(4)CH=NOH`, I is the COMPLETELY acetylated oxime, `AcOCH_(2)(CHOAc)_(4)CH=NOAc` that loses 1 mole of HOAc to form J, `AcOCH_(2)(CHOAc)_(4)C EQUIV N, K` is an aldopentose, `HOCH_(2)(CHOH)_(3)CHO`.
The acetates undergo TRANSESTERIFICATION to give methyl acetate freeing all the sugar OH.s. This is followed by reversal of HCN addition.

Supply the missing reagents.

Answer»

Solution :The overall transformation over TWO steps involves replacing an alcohol HYDROXYL group by a cyano group with inver sion of configuration. To accomplish this, we need to convert the alcohol hydroxyl to a GOOD leaving group in the first step, which we do by making it a methanesulfonate ester (a mesylate) using methanesulfonyl chloride in pyridine. The second step is an `S_(N)2`substitution of the methanesulfonate (mesyl) group, which we do using potassium or sodium cyanide in a POLAR aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF).
