Two weak acid solution HA_(1) and HA_(2) each with the same concentration and having pK_(a) values 3 and 5 are placed in contact with hydrogen electrode (1 atm, 25^(@)C) and are interconnected through salt bridge. Calculate the e.m.f. of the cell.

Answer»

Solution :The cell may be represented as
`Pt|H_(2)(1atm)|HA_(2)||HA_(1)|H_(2)(1atm)|Pt`
electrode REACTION expressed as reduction reaction is `H^(+)+e^(-)to(1)/(2)H_(2)`
At ANODE: `E_((H^(+)//H_(2))_(2))=E_((H^(+)//H_(2))_(2))^(@)+0.059(pH)_(2)`
At cathode: `E_((H^(+)//H_(2))_(1))=E_((H^(+)//H_(2))_(1))^(@)+0.059(pH)_(1)`
But `[H^(+)]=Calpha=Csqrt((K_(a))/(C))=sqrt(K_(a)C)=(K_(a)C)^(1//2)`
or `-LOG[H^(+)]=-(1)/(2)logK_(a)-(1)/(2)LOGC`
`pH_(2)=(1)/(2)pK_(a)-(1)/(2)logC`
`E_(cell)^(@)=E_((H^(+)//H_(2))_(1))^(@)-E_((H^(+)//H_(2))_(2))^(@)=0.059[(1)/(2)pK_(a_(2))-(1)/(2)pK_(a_(1))]=(0.0591)/(2)(5-3)`
=0.059V

What is enthalpy of atomisation ? Explain

Answer»

Solution :The energy required to form a 1 mole of gaseous ATOMS from its elements in its standard state is called standard enthalpy of atomisation.
The transition elements have high enthalpies of atomisation because of presence of strong bonds between the atoms. The enthalpy of atomisation increases with the increase in number of unpaired electrons which results in formation of strong bonds DUE to strong interatomic interactions.
The elements of 4d adn 5d series have greater enthalpy of atomisation than CORRESPONDING elements of first transition series which results in much more metal-metal bonding in compounds of the heavy transition elements.

In first transition series, Zn has MINIMUM enthalpy atomisation because of ABSENCE of unpaired electrons

When a certain conductance cell was filled with 0.1 mol L^(-1)KCl, it has a resistance of 85Omegaat 25^(@)C. When the same cell was filled with an aqueous solution of 0.052 mol L^(-1) of an electrolyte solution, the resistance was 96 Omega . Calculate the molar conductivity of the electrolyte at this concentration (Conductivity of 0.1 mol L^(-1) KCl solution is 1.29 xx 10^(-2) S cm^(-))

Answer»


SOLUTION :`kappa = G xx G^(**) or G^(**) = (kappa)/(G)`
where G is conductance and `G^(**)` is CELL constant `G^(**) = (1.29 xx 10^(-2) S cm^(-1))/(1//85) = 1.0965 cm^(-1)`
`kappa` for `0.052 mol L^(-1)` solution .
`kappa = G xx G^(**) = (1)/(96) xx 1.0965= 1.142 xx 10^(-2) S cm^(-1)`
`Lambda = (kappa xx 1000)/(M)`
`= (1.142 xx 10^(-2) xx 1000)/(0.052)`
`= 219.6 S cm^(2) mol^(-1)`
