Concentration of glucose (C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)) in normal blood is approximately 90 mg per 100 mL. What is the molarity of glucose in blood ?

Answer»


Solution :Mass of glucose = 90 mg `= (90)/(1000) = 0.09 G`
No. of moles of glucose `= ("Mass of glucose")/("Molar mass")=(("0.09 g"))/(("180 g MOL"^(-1)))=0.005` mol
Volume of solution = 100 ML = 0.1 L
Molarity of solution (M) `= ("No. of moles of glucose")/("Volume of solution in LITRES")=(("0.005 mol"))/(("0.1 L"))="0.005 mol L"^(-1)=0.005M`

Concentrated sulphuric acid has a density of 1.9 g/mL and is 99% H_2SO_4 by weight. Calculate the molarity of H_2SO_4 in this acid.

Answer»

Solution :Suppose we have 1 litre (1000 mL) of the given acid. Mass of 1000 mL of this acid= DENSITY x Volume = `1.9 xx 1000 = 1900` g The given acid is 99% pure.
`therefore`The mass of `H_2SO_4` present in 1900 g (1L) of the 99 sample = `99/100 xx 1900 = 1881 g`
Moles of `H_(2)SO_(4)` present in 1 L `=1881/98 = 19.19`
(`therefore` Molecular mass of `H_(2)SO_(4) = 98`)
HENCE, the molarity of the given `H_2SO_4` sample is 19.19 M.
29.

Concentrated nitric acid used in laboratory work is 68% nitric acid by mass in aqueous solution. What should be the molarity of such a sample of the acid if the density of the solution is 1.50g mL^(-1) ?

Answer»

Solution :`68%` NITRIC acid by MASS means that
Mass of nitric acid = 68 g
Mass of solution = 100 g
Molar mass of `HNO_(3) = 63 g mol ^(-1)`
`therefore 68g NHO_(3) = (68)/(63) ` mole `= 1. 079` mole
Density of solution `= 1,. 504 g mL ^(-1)`
`therefore ` Volume of solution `= (100)/(1.504) mL = 66.5 mL = 0.0665L`
Molarity of the solution `= ("Moles of the SOLUTE")/("Volume of solution") ` in L `= (1.0-79)/(0.0665) M = 16.23 M`

Compressibility factor, Z, of a gas is given as Z=(pV)/(nRT)(i) What is the value of Z for an ideal gas ?For real gas what will be the effect on value of Z above Boyle.s temperature ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) For ideal gas, compressibility factor, Z = 1.
(II) Above Boyle.s temperature, real gases show positive deviation.
So, `Z gt 1`
Note : FOLLOWING important points come out from the compressibility factor, `Z=(PV)/(nRT)`
(i) For ideal Z = 1 at all TEMPERATURES and PRESSURE because pV = nRT.
(ii) At very low pressure all gases shown have `Z ~=1` and behave as ideal gas.
(iii) At high pressure, all the gases have `Z gt 1` These are more difficult to compress.
(iv) At intermediate pressures most gases have `Z lt 1`.

Comprehension given below is followed by some multiple choice questions. Each question has one correct option. Choose the correct option. In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers which is related to the electronic configuration. Depending upon the type of orbitals receiving the last electron, the elements in the periodic table have been divided into four blocks, viz, s, p, d and f. The modern periodic table consists of 7 periods and 18 groups. Each period begins with the filling of a new energy shell. In accordance with the Aufbau principle, the seven periods (1 to 7) have 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32 and 32 elements respectively. The seventh period is still incomplete. To avoid the periodic table being too long, the two series of f-block elements, called lanthanoids and actinoids are placed at the bottom of the main body of the periodic table. The elements with atomic numbers 35, 53 and 85 are all .......

`1s^(2) 2s^(2) 2p^(6) 3s^(6) 3p^(6) 3d^(7) 4s^(2)`

Solution :Fifth period starts with RB (Z = 37) and ends at Xe (Z = 54).
Thus, Z = 43 lies in the `5^(th)` period. As the `4^(th)` period has the 18 elements, therefore the atomic number of that element lies, above the element with atomic number 43 is 43 - 18 = 25.
Electronic configuration of element z = 25 is, `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(5)4s^(2) ( :.i.e, Mn)`
