When 5.35 gm Acl is dissolved in 250 ml of water the pH of solution is found to be 4.827. Find the ionic radius of A+ and Cl^(-). If "Acl" forms CsCl type crystal having 2.2 g//cm^(3). Given K_(b)(AOH) = 1.8 xx 10^(-5) r^(+)/r^(-) = 0.732 for this cell unit.

SOLUTION :`"ACL"(s) to A^(+)(aq) + CL^(-)(aq)`
`A^(+)(aq) + H_(2)O at equilibrium `C(1-alpha)`
antilog `(-4.827) = sqrt((1 xx 10^(-4))/(1.8 xx 10^(-5)) xx (5.35 xx 1000)/(M xx 250))`
M= 53.5
For CsC l type structure.
`rho = (ZM)/(a^(3) xx 6.0923 xx 10^(23))/(2.2 xx 6.023 xx 10^(23))^(1//3) = 3.43 A`
`r_(A)^(+) + r_(cl)^(-) = sqrt(3)/2 xx a = 0.866 a = 0.866 xx 3.43 A = 2.97` A
`therefore R_(Å)/R_(Cl-) = 0.732`
On solving `r_(A) = 1.255` A
`r_(Cl-) = 1.715` Å
