Solution :d. `[Zn^(2+)]` final `=1 xx 10^(-4)M`
`[Zn(NH_(3))_(4)^(2+)]aq = 0.2 - 10^(-4) ~~ 0.2`
`Zn^(2+) + 4NH_(3) HARR Zn(NH_(3))_(4)^(2+)`
`K_(f) = ([Zn(NH_(3))_(4)^(2+)])/([Zn^(2+)][NH_(3)]^(4))`
`5 xx 10^(8) =(0.2)/((10^(-4))[NH_(3)]^(4))`
`(NH_(3))^(4) = 4 xx 10^(-6) = 400 xx 10^(-8)`
`(NH_(3)) = 4.5 xx 10^(-2)M`
b. `Zn(OH)_(2) rarr Zn^(2+) +2 overset(Theta)OH`
`K_(sp) = (1.8 xx 10^(-14))/(10^(-4)) = 1.8 xx 10^(-10)`
`[overset(Theta)OH] = 1.3 xx 10^(-5)M`
C. `Zn^(2+) + 4overset(Theta)OH rarr Zn(OH)_(4)^(2-)`
`K_(f) - ([Zn(OH)_(4)^(2-)])/([Zn^(2+)][overset(Theta)OH]^(4))`
`5 xx 10^(4) = (0.2)/((10^(-4))[overset(Theta)OH]^(4))`
`rArr [overset(Theta)OH]^(4) = 4 xx 10^(-12), [overset(Theta(O)H] = 1.4 xx 10^(-3)`
d. The concentration of `overset(Theta)OH` in equilibrium with the `NH_(3)` concentration of part (a) is given by,
`NH_(3) + H_(2)O hArr overset(o+)NH_(4) + overset(Theta)OH`,
(LET `x = [overset(o+)NH_(4)] = [overset(Theta)OH]`
`K_(b) = ([overset(o+)NH_(4)][overset(Theta)OH])/([NH_(3)])`
`1.8 xx 10^(-5) = (x^(2))/(4.5 xx 10^(-2))`
`rArr x^(2) = 8.1 xx 10^(-7) rArr x = [overset(Theta)OH] = 9.0 xx 10^(-4)M`.
`[overset(Theta)OH] (9.0 xx 10^(-4)M)` from the `4.5 xx 10^(-2)M NH_(3)` is sufficient precipitate `Zn(OH)_(2)` [part (b)] but not sufficient to from `Zn(OH_(4)^(2-))` [part (c)]
e. On addition of `Nh_(3)` solution to `Zn^(2+)` solution, a precipitate of `Zn(OH)_(2)` will form, which will later dissolve to yield a clear solution containing `[Zn(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)`

SOLUTION :`Delta_(r) S^(@)= SigmaS^(@) `( PRODUCTS ) `- SigmaS^(@) ` ( Reactants) `=2S^(@) (Fe_(2)O_(3)) -[4 S^(@) ( Fe) + 3S^(@) ( O_(2))]`
`= 2xx 87.4- [4 xx 27.3 + 3 xx 205.0 ]JK^(-1) mol^(-1) =- 549 JK^(-1) mol^(-1)`
This is the entropy change for the reaction, i.e., system `( Delta S_("system"))`

`= - 1648000 +163721 J K^(-1) mol^(_1) = - 1484279 J K^(-1) mol^(-1)`
As `Delta G^(@)`is - ve , the reaction is spontaneous.
Alsternatively, as the reaction is exothermic, heat given out by THEREACTION is absorbed by the surroundings at room temperature `(25^(@)C)`. Hence, entropy ofthe surroundings increases.
`DeltaS_("surroundings")= (1648xx10^(3)JK^(-1) mol^(-1))/( 298 K ) = 5530 JK^(-1) mol^(_1)`
`:. Delta S_("total") = DeltaS_("system") + DeltaS_("surroundings") = -549.4 + 5530 JK^(-1) mol^(-1) = + 4980. 6JK^(-1) mol^(-1)`
As `Delta S_("total") ` is `+ ve` ,therefore, the reaction is spontaneous.

Calculate the enthalpy of hydrogenation of ethylene from the following data. Bond energies of C-H , C-C , C=C and H-H are 414,347,618 and 435 kJ mol^(-1) .

Answer»

Solution :Given : `E_(C-H)=414 "kJ mol"^(-1)`
`E_(C-C)=347 "kJ mol"^(-1)`
`E_(C=C)=618 "kJ mol"^(-1)`
`E_(H-H)=435 "kJ mol"^(-1)`

Calculate the enthalpy of hydration of anhydrouscopper sulphate ( CuSO_(4)) into hydrated copper sulphate (CuSO_(4). 5H_(2)O). Given that the enthalpies of solutionsof anhydrous copper sulphate and hydrated copper sulphate are - 66.5 and + 11.7 kJ mol^(-1) respectively.

Answer»

Solution :We are given
(i) `CuSO_(4)(s) + aq rarr CuSO_(4)(aq), Delta_(sol)H= - 66.5 kJ mol^(-1)`
(ii) `CuSO_(4) . 5H_(2)O(s) +aq rarr CuSO_(4)(aq), Delta_(sol) H= + 11.7 kJ mol^(-1)`
we aim at`CuSO_(4) (s) + 5H_(2)O(l) rarr CuSO_(4).5H_(2)O(s), Delta _(HYD) H= ?`
Eqaution (i) can be written in two steps as`:`
`(ii) CuSO_(4) (s) +5H_(2)O(l) rarr CuSO_(4).5H_(2)O(s) , Delta H= Delta H_(1) kJ mol^(-1)`
(iv)`CuSO_(4). 5H_(2)O(s)+ aq rarr CuSO_(4)(aq) , Delta H = DeltaH_(2) kJ mol^(-1)`
According to Hess's law, `Delta H_(1) + Delta H_92) = - 66.5 kJ mol^(-1)`
Further, equations (ii) and (iv) are same `:. Delta H_(2) = + 11.7 k J mol^(-1)`
Putting this value above, we get `Delta H_(1) + 11.7 = - 66.5 ` or `Delta H_(1) = - 66.5- 11.7 kJ = - 78.2 kJ mol^(-1)`
Thus, equation (iii) may be written as
`CuSO_(4)(s) + 5H_(2)O(l) rarr CuSO_(4). 5H_(2)O(s), Delta _(hyd) H- 78.2kJ mol^(-1)`
This is what we AIMED at . Hence, the required value of the ENTHALPY of hydration is`Delta _(hyd) H = - 78.2k J mol^(-1)`.

`:.`Netreleased`= 928- 679 = 249 kJ MOL^(-1) , i.e., Delta _(f) H^(@) = - 249 kJ mol^(-1)`
Alternatively , `DeltaH = B.E. (H_(2))+ (1)/(2) B.E. (O_(2))- 2B.E. ( O-H)`
`=433 + (1)/(2) xx 492 - 2 xx 464 = - 249 kJ mol^(-1)`
