The condition for a reaction to occur spontaneously is

Answer»

`DELTA H`must be negative
`Delta S`must be negative
`(Delta H - T Delta S)`must be negative
`(Delta H + T Delta S)`must be negative.

Solution : For the spontaneity of a reaction, `Delta G` must be -ve. Now,`Delta G = Delta H - T Delta S `
` therefore `For a SPONTANEOUS reaction, `(Delta H - T Delta S)`should be negative.

The concentration of hydrogen ion is a measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. A convenient way of expressing the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is, in terms of the pH scale devised by Sorenson's . The pH of a solutionis defined as the negative logarithm of active concentration of H^(+) ions to the base 10 i.e., pH =- log_(10)[HI^(+)] or [H^(+)]=10^(-pH) At 25^(@)C (i) if pH lt1 , then solution is acidic (ii) if pH=7, then solution is neutral (iii) if pH gt 7, then the solution is basic Total [H^(+)]and [OH^(-)] in a mixture of strong acids or bases are represented in terms normality, which is equal to final number of milliequivalents of H^(+) or OH^(-) present in millilitre of solution Since H_(2)O ionizes as H_(2)O hArrH^(+)+OH^(-) Ionic product of water , K_(w)=[H^(+)][OH^(-)] ...(i) Taking log on both sidesin equation (i), we find pH +pOH=pK_(w) For neutral solution, pH =pOH:. 2pH =pK_(w) :. pH =1.2pK_(w) Since dissociationof water is an endothermic process, so temperature willhave great effect on K_(w) as well as on the pH of solution i.e., the nature of the soluiton . K_(w) at different temperature are related as under. ln (K_(w2))/(K_(w1))=(DeltaH)/(R)[(1)/(T_(1))-(1)/(T_(2))] At T_(1)K=T_(2)K, K_(w_(2))=K_(w1) (i) pH mixture of monoprotic weak acid is calculated as under : pH of monoprotic weak acid i.e., CH_(3)COOH {:(,CH_(3)COOH,hArr,CH_(3)COO^(-),+,H^(+)),("at "t=0,C,,0,,0),("at "t=t,C-alpha,,C alpha,,Calpha):} :.

The concentration of hydrogen ion is a measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. A convenient way of expressing the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is, in terms of the pH scale devised by Sorenson's .

The concentration of hydrogen ions ina sample of soft drink is 3.8 times 10^-3m. What is the pH value? Whether the soft drink is acidic (or) basic?

Answer»

SOLUTION :`PH=-log_10[H_3O^+]`
`=-log_10[3.8 times 10^-3]`
`=-LOG 3.8 +3`
`=3-0.5798=2.4202`
`pH=2.42`
When `pH lt 7`, the soft drink is acidic.
