An LPG (liquified petroleum gas) cylinder weighs 14.8 kg when empty. When full, it weighs 29.0 kg and shows a pressure of 2.5 atm. In the course of use at 27°C, the weight of the full cylinder is reduced to 23.2 kg. Find out the volume of the gas in cubic metres used up at the normal usage conditions and the final pressure inside the cylinder. Assume LPG to be n-butane with normal boiling point of 0°C.

Answer»

ting the volume of gas:Given,i) Weight of cylinder with gas = 29.0 kgii) Weight of empty cylinder = 14.8 kgTherefore, the weight of gas in the cylinder = 29.0 - 14.8 = 14.2 kgPressure in cylinder = 2.5 atmTherefore, NUMBER of moles (n) in 14.2 KG (14.2 × g) of butaneWe KNOW that,  n = 244.83 molApplying gas equation,    V = 2412 LITERS[27°C  = 273 + 27 = 300]Calculating the pressure in cylinder after use:i) Weight of cylinder after use = 23.2 kgii) Weight of empty cylinder = 14.8 kgTherefore weight of unused gas = 8.4 kg = 8.4 x g) moles of butaneWe know that, P = 1.478 atm[V = 2412 L]Calculating the volume of USED gas at 2.5 atm and 27°CWeight of the used gas = 14.2 - 8.4 = 5.8 kgPressure under normal usage conditions = 1 atm= 246 litersV = 2.463

Phosphoric acid is preferred over sulphuric acid for preparing hydorgen peroxide from peroxides. Why?

Answer»

aration of HYDROGEN peroxide(H2O2) and sulphuric acid, the use of sulphuric acid has a disadvantage as it CATALYSES the decomposition of H2O2formed. In place of H2O2, weak acids like ortho phosphoric acid, carbonic acid are preferred. All heavy metal impurities present in BAO2 are removed as insoluble phosphates and decomposition of H2O2 is prevented.

Properties of boric acid

Answer»

cid FormulaBoric acid is a weak inorganic acid with antiseptic properties, and is also called boracic acid or orthoboric acid.Formula and structure: The chemical formula of boric acid is H3BO3 (or B(OH)3). Its molecular formula is BH3O3, and its molar mass is 61.83 g/mol. The chemical structure of boric acid is shown below:The central boron atom is connected to three hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which are capable of strong hydrogen bonding. Its solid crystalline structure consists of parallel layers of boric acid held together in place by hydrogen bonds.Occurrence: Boric acid occurs naturally in volcanic areas, and in certain minerals such as borax (as sassolite). It is also found in sea water, plants, and fruits in small amounts.Preparation: Boric acid is prepared by REACTING minerals such as borax (Na2B4O7·10H2O), with strong acids like HCl:Na2B4O7·10H2O + 2 HCl → 4 H3BO3 + 2 NaCl + 5 H2OIt can also be prepared by the HYDROLYSIS of boron trihalides (such as BBr3) or diborane (B2H6):BBr3 + 3 H2O → B(OH)3 + 3 HBrB2H6 + 6 H2O → 2 B(OH)3 + 6 H2Physical properties: Boric acid is a white crystalline solid with a density of 1.435 g/mL, melting point of 170.9 °C and boiling point of 300 °C.Chemical properties: Boric acid is a weak monobasic acid, and is considered a Lewis acid. It dissolves in boiling water and in anhydrous sulfuric acid. When heated to high temperatures (over 170 °C), it undergoes dehydration to form metaboric acid (HBO2):H3BO3 → HBO2 + H2OUses: Boric acid is non-toxic with antibacterial properties, and it is mainly USED as an antiseptic agent, acne treatment, preservative, insecticide, pH buffer, swimming pool chemical, flame retardant, and a precursor to many useful chemicals. It is used industrially for the manufacture of fiberglass, household glass products and the glass used in LCD displays.Health hazards/ health effects: Low concentrations of boric acid does not pose any toxicity. However, boric acid is poisonous if swallowed or inhaled in large quantities. High concentrations of boric acid can potentially lead to reproductive problems. Exposure to boric acid over long periods of time can cause possible kidney damage.

Arrange the elements N, P, O and S in the order of: (i) increasing first ionisation enthalpy. (ii) increasing non-metallic character. Given reason for the arrangement assigned.

Answer»

Elements Nitrogen, PHOSPHORUS, Oxygen, and Sulfur.(i) INCREASE in first ionization enthalpy:We know that ionization energy (I.E) is directly PROPORTIONAL to the effective nuclear charge and inversely proportional to the size of the ATOMS. Hence, according to this concept the increase in order of Size is N < O < P < S.  Hence, the first ionization energy will be in the order of S < P < O < N.(ii) Increasing order of non-metallic character:In the periodic table, from left to right, the non-metallic character increases and from top to bottom the non-metallic character decreases. So, the order of the given elements in the increasing order of non-metallic character is P < S < N < O.

Apart from tetrahedral geometry, another possible geometry for is square planar with the four H atoms at the corners of the square and the C atom at its centre. Explain why is not square planar?

Answer»

ing of orbitals with the difference in energy to form new orbitals of equal energy is CALLED "hybridization" and new orbitals are called hybrid orbitals. The Carbon's atomic number is 6 and its ELECTRONIC configuration is . In the excited state, 1 s-orbital and 3 p-orbitals are involved in hybridization and GIVES RISE to TETRAHEDRAL shape for methane.Whereas in the square planar structure of methane molecule, the hybridization involves d-orbital. For square planar structure 1 s, 3 p, and 1 d orbitals have to undergo hybridization. Since, carbon does not contain d-orbitals the square planar structure is not possible. Only tetrahedral structure is possible for methane molecule.

In a gold - foil experiment a) why did many a__ particles pass through the gild foilundeflected ? b) why did few a__particles deflect through small angle c)why did few a _ particles , after striking the gold foil ,retrace their path

Answer»

e most of the Alpha particles pass straight through the gold foil without any deflection ,it SHOWS that there is a lot of empty space in an atom .b) some of the Alpha particles are deflected through small angle because there is a centre of positive CHARGE in the atom which repels the positively CHARGED Alpha particles and deflect them from the original path.c) the OBSERVATION that a very few Alpha particles completely rebound on hitting the gold foil shows that the nucleus is very dense and hard which does not allow the Alpha particle to pass through it .hope it helps

An open vessel at 27ºC is heated until three-fifth of the air in it has been expelled. Assuming that the volume of the vessel remains constant, find the temperature to which the vessel has been heated.

Answer»

Open vessel is HEATED to 27°C TILL its 3/5th of the air expelled.Consider the vessel volume is constant.We have to calculate the temperature of the vessel to which it should be heated.Let us consider T1 = 27°C (to CONVERT into K) = 27 + 273 = 300 K  Consider the amount of air initial 'N1' be nThe amount of air expelled after heating be 'n2'  We know that, n1 × T1 = n2 × T2n × 300 = 3n/5 × T2(300n × 5/3n) = T2T2 = 500 KTo convert into degree,T2 = (500 - 273) = 227°CThus, the vessel has to be heated to the temperature of 227°C.

An ideal gas is allowed to expand against a constant pressure of 2 bar from 1 L to 50 L in one step. Calculate the amount of work done by the gas. If the same expansion were carried out reversibly, will the work done be higher or lower than the earlier case? [Given that 1 L bar = 100 J]

Answer»

ressure (P) = 2 barInitial volume = 1 LFinal volume = 50 L Amount of work done by the gas = (- pressure) × (FINAL volume - initial volume)= (-2 bar) × (50 L - 1 L)= (-2) × 49 L= -98 L bar We KNOW that 1 KJ bar = 101 J, So,= -98 × 101 J= -9999 J= -9.999 KJIn the first case, as the expansion is against constant external pressure, thus, the work done is negative which is low.If the same expansion carried out reversibly, the internal pressure of gas is infinitesimally larger than the external pressure. Therefore, the final work done will be considered high.

Express the following results to the proper number of significant figures:

Answer»

lowing three rules are used to determine the number of significant numbers in a number: Non-zero numbers are always significant Any zeros between TWO significant numbers are significant.A “FINAL zero” or “trailing zeros” only in the “decimal portion” are important. EXAMPLES: 0.900 or 0.928000 the zeros are significant. In this CALCULATION 0.8 has minimum “number” of “significant figures”.It has only one significant figure. The result of this calculation is, therefore, to be rounded off to one significant digit.Here, after 2 greater than 5. So, the result after rounding off is and it has one significant figure.
