How is phosphine prepared in laboratory how does it react with cuso4

Answer»

Laboratory PREPARATION: It is usually obtained by boiling white phosphorus with 30-40% solution of caustic soda in an inert atmosphere of CO2.

P4 + 3NaOH + 3H2O → PH3 + 3NaH2PO2 (Sodium hypophosphite)

Phosphine so obtained is impure. It is passed into an aqueous solution of hydrogen iodide, PH4I is formed. PH4I is HEATED with KOH or NaOH, pure phosphine is obtained.

PH3 + HI → PH4I

PH4I + NaOH → PH3 + NaI + H2O

Physical properties

Phosphine is colourless gas with rotten fish odour.

Chemical properties

Dissociation: Phosphine dissociates at about 723 K and gives red phosphorus.

4PH3 P4 →(23K)→ 6H2

Action of air: It burns with oxygen and PRODUCES phosphorus pentoxide.

4PH3 + 8 O2 → P4O10 + 6H2O

Uses

Smoke screens

When PH3 burns it produces smoke which is dense enough to serve as smoke screens.

Holme’s signal: Containers which have a perforated bottom and a hole at the top are filled with calcium phosphide and calcium carbide. These are thrown into the sea. Water enters the container through the bottom and reacts with calcium carbide and calcium phosphide to give acetylene and phosphine. Phosphine gets ignited spontaneously as it comes in contact with air and also ignites acetylene.

Thus a bright red FLAME is produced which is accompanied by huge smoke due to the BURNING of phosphine. This serves as a signal to the approaching ships.

Ca3P2 + 6H2O → 2 PH3 ↑ + 3Ca(OH)2

CaC2 + 2H2O → C2H2 ↑ + Ca(OH)2

5.

a solution is prepared by dissolving certain amount of solute in 500g of water the percentage by msss of solute in solution is 2.38 calculate mass of solute

Answer»

ʜᴇʟʟᴏ ᴍᴀᴛᴇ!

Mass of solvent = 500G

Mass of solute= ( needed to be FIND out )

Mass by mass percentage = 2.38%

Mass by mass percentage = Mass of solute / mass of solution × 100

Mass of solution = solute + solvent
( 500g + solute )

( solute ) / ( 500 + solute ) × 100 = 2.38

100solute = 2.38 ( 500 + solute )

100solute = 1190 + 2.38 solute

97.62 solute = 1190

Solute= 12.2g

Hope it helps

7.

a car of mass m has an engine which can deliver power p . what the maximum time in which the car can be accelerated from rest a speed v?

Answer»

<P>Work, W, is Power, P, multiplied by time, t. The work done by the ENGINE in time t is THUS W = P t.

The work energy principle is that the work done on a system is EQUAL to the change in energy, ΔE, of the system.

Since there is no potential energy in this PROBLEM, the change in energy is just the change in kinetic energy.

That is ΔE = (1/2) m v2 - 0 = (1/2) m v2.

So (1/2) m v2 = P t and thus t = m v2 / (2 P)

What volume at STP of CO is required to reduce one mole of Fe2O3

Answer»

The required equation of the given reaction is:-


Fe2O3 + 3CO -----> 2Fe + 3CO2


From the equation we can see that,


1 MOLE of Fe2O3 -----> 3moles of CO2


Avogadro’s Law states that one mole of any dry GAS occupies 22.4L of volume at STP.


So, 3 MOLES of CO2 would occupy -----> (22.4 * 3) = 67.2L of volume


Hence, 67.2L of CO is needed for 1 mole of Fe2O3 to be REDUCED completely.

One gm metal M3+ was discharging by the passage of 1.81 *1023 electrons.What is the atomic weight of metal?

Answer»

For DISCHARGING of metal the reaction is :M3+ + 3e- => M

Thus 1 mol of the metal is deposited by 3F = 3×96500 C = 289500

CCHARGE on 1.81×1023 electrons = 1.602×10-19 ×1.81​×1023 C = 2.9×104 C289500 C deposit = 1 mol of metal

Thus 2.9×104 C will deposit = 1289500×2.9×104moles metal = 0.100 moles0.100 moles = 1 g metal

Thus atomic mass of metal = 10 g/mol

the ratio of kinetic energy and potential energy of the electron in the bohr orbit of hydrogen atom is

Answer»

According to Bohr's theory, the formula for calculating the POTENTIAL ENERGY of Hydrogen like species is −27.2(z2/n2)eV−27.2(z2/n2)eV

where z is the atomic number and N is the SHELL number.

For first shell of hydrogen atom put n=1 and z=1. You will get PE=−27.2eVPE=−27.2eV

PS PE is twice of KE (which has positive sign) in magnitude.

Tabulate the differences between solids, liquids and gaseous state.

Answer»

SOLID STATE -

  • The intermolecular force of attraction between particles is high as compared to LIQUIDS and gases.
  • Solids have definite volume and shape.
  • Solids are rigid and non-compressible.
  • Solids have high density(except ice).
  • Solids do not TEND to flow.

LIQUIDS STATE -

  • The intermolecular force of attraction between particles is high as compared to gases and LESS than solids.
  • Liquids have definite volume but not definite shape.
  • Liquids are not rigid and non-compressible.
  • Liquids have high density than gases but less than solids.
  • Liquids diffuse very slowly.
  • Liquids tend to flow.

GASEOUS STATE -

  • The intermolecular force of attraction between particles is very less.
  • Gases do not have definite volume nor definite shape.
  • Gases are not rigid and they are compressible.
  • Gases have the lowest density than solids and liquids.
  • Gases diffuses at a fast rate.
  • Gases tend to flow.

23.

H2O is liquid and H2S is a gas why?

Answer»

So, water exists as a LIQUID at ROOM temperature with a high BOILING POINT. Sulphur is less electronegative than oxygen, and the S-H bond is much less polar than the O-H bond. Hence, there is no hydrogen bonding in hydrogen sulphide, and it normally exists as agas with discrete H2S molecules.

Explain wurtz reaction

Answer»

☺☺☺HEY MATE YOUR ANSWER IS HERE. ....☺❤☺❤☺

Wurtz reaction is usually the first 'name reaction' one comes across in organic chemistry.

It provides a method for the synthesis of higher alkanes from alkyl halides by treating the latter with metallic sodium in dry ETHER.For instance, ETHANE can be obtained by treating methyl bromide with sodium in ether.

                          2CH3Br + 2Na = C2H6 + 2NaBr

Two molecules of the alkyl HALIDE condense into a larger alkane molecule with the elimination of the halogen atoms as sodium halide.

If two different alkyl halides are taken together, a mixture of three alkanes will be obtained. Thus, if both methyl and ethyl iodides are reacted with sodium, along with PROPANE, ethane and butane are also produced.

What is the volume of S.T.P of 2.8 g of nitrogen gas . [N=14]

Answer»

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

One mole of nitrogen GAS occupies 22.4 L of volume.

So let us first find out the number of MOLES.......
So N2 = 2*14 = 28 g/mol.

So 2.8 g of N2 CONTAINS
(2.8 / 28 )moles = 0.1 mole.

So the gas will occupy a volume of 0.1 * 22.4 = 2.24 L of volume.

Be and ne have positive values of electron gain enthalpy againstgeneral trend in period

Answer»

The ELECTRONIC configuration of Be is 2S2, Since it has completely filled outer shells which is a stable configuration. It becomes ENERGETICALLY unfavourable to remove or ADD an electron and it has positive electron gain enthalpy.


Similarly, Ne is a noble gas and FULLY filled outer shell thus its electron gain enthalpy is positive.
