In metal oxide, metal is 33% vapour density of metal chloride is 79 then find out the atomic weight of metal.

Answer»

ANSWER : 13.712 g mol-1

Given : 

Vapour density (VD) of metal chloride = 79

Metal in metal oxide = 33%

To Find : 

Atomic weight of metal = ? 

Solution : 

Let the weight of metal oxide be 100 g.

So the weight of metal will be 33 g and weight of oxygen will be 77.

So equivalent weight (Ew) of metal 

\(= {weight\:of\:metal \over weight\:of\: oxygen } × 8\)

\(={ 33\over77} × 8\)

= 3.428 g

We know that , 

Valency  \(= {2 ×VD\over {E}_{w}+35.5}\)

​​​​\( = {2×79 \over 3.428 + 35.5}\)

\(= {158\over 38.928}\)

= 4.05

≈ 4

Now ,

Atomic weight = valency × Ew 

= 4 × 3.428 

= 13.712 g mol-1

Hence The atomic weight of metal is 13.712 gmol-1

At `300 K`, `36 g` of glucose present per litre in its solution has an osmotic pressure of `4.98 bar`. If the osmotic pressure of the solution is `1.52 bar` at the same temperature, what would be its concentration?

Answer» Correct Answer - `0.061M`
First case
`W_(2)=36g, P=4.98 ba r`,
`Mw_(2)(` glucose `)=180,V=1L,`
`P=(n)/(V)RT`
`4.98=(36)/(180xx1)RT …..(i)`
Second case
`1.52=CRT ….(ii)`
Dividing `Eq. (i)` by `Eq. (ii)`, we get
`(4.98)/(1.52)=(0.2RT)/(CRT)`
`C=(0.2xx1.52)/(4.98)=0.61M`

A body at 1000°C in black surroundings at 500°C has an emissivity of 0.42 at 1000°C and an emissivity of 0.72 at 500°C. Calculate the rate of heat loss by radiation per m2. (i) When the body is assumed to be grey with ε = 0.42. (ii) When the body is not grey. Assume that the absorptivity is independent of the surface temperature.

Answer»

(i) When the body is grey with ε = 0.42 :

T1 = 1000 + 273 = 1273 K 

T2 = 500 + 273 = 773 K 

ε at 1000°C = 0.42 

ε at 500°C = 0.72 

σ = 5.67 × 10–8 

Heat loss per m2 by radiation, 

q = εσ (T14 - T24

= 0.42 × 5.67 × 10–8 [(1273)4 – 773)4] = 54893 W i.e., 

Heat loss per m2 by radiation = 54.893 kW.

(ii) When the body is not grey : 

Absorptivity when source is at 500°C = Emissivity when body is at 500°C i.e., absorptivity, α = 0.72

Then, energy emitted = εσ T14 = 0.42 × 5.67 × 10–8 × (1273)4

Energy absorbed = ασT24 = 0.72 × 5.67 × 10–8 × (773)4 i.e., 

q = Energy emitted – Energy absorbed 

= 0.42 × 5.67 × 10–8 × (1238)4 – 0.72 × 5.67 × 10–8 × (773)4 

= 62538 – 14576 = 47962 W 

i.e., Heat loss per m2 by radiation = 47.962 kW.

(i) Hydrogen is not a metal but it has been assigned a place in the reactivity series of metals. Explain.(ii) How would you show that silver is chemically less reactive than copper?

Answer»

(i) Though hydrogen is not a metal but even then it has been assigned a place in the activity series. The reason is that like metals, hydrogen also has a tendency to lose electron and forms a positive ion H+
The metals which lose electrons less readily than hydrogen are placed below it and the metals which lose electrons more readily than hydrogen are placed above it in the reactivity series of metals.
(ii) By displacement reaction silver can be shown to be chemically less reactive than copper or copper is more reactive than silver. If a piece of silver is immersed in a solution of copper sulphate, no reaction will take place because silver is less reactive than copper and will not displace copper from the copper sulphate solution.
                              CuSO4(aq) + Ag(s) ------> No reaction

On the other hand, if a copper plate is placed in a solution of silver nitrate, copper will slowly displace silver from the solution and blue solution of copper nitrate is formed.
  2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) -----> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
       Colourless                           Blue
This shows that copper is more reactive than silver'

Which of the following metals will liberate hydrogen from dilute acids : Na, Fe, Pb, Cu, Hg ? Give reasons.

Answer»

The metals which occur above hydrogen in the activity series liberate hydrogen from dilute acids. Since Na, Fe and Pb occur above hydrogen in the activity series, they will liberate hydrogen from dilute acids. Cu and Hg occur below hydrogen in the activity series and hence they will not liberate hydrogen from dilute acids.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The electrolysis of pure alumina faces some difficulties. Pure alumina is a bad conductor is of electricity. This fusion temperature of pure alumina is about `2000^@C`, and at this temperature, when the electrolysis is carried out on the fused mass, the metal formed vaporises as the boiling point of aluminium is `1800^@C`. These difficulties are overcome by using a mixture containing alumina, cryolite `(Na_(3)AlF_(6))`, and `(CaF_(2))`.
