Ferric chloride solution on standing gives a brown precipitate. Why?

Answer»

Solution :Ferric ion undergoes HYDROLYSIS in water to form ferric hydroxide,
`Fe^(3+) + 3H_2 Oto Fe(OH)_3+3H^(+)`
Ferric hydroxide FORMED as shown in the equation is LESS soluble in water.
Ferric hydroxide will be in the form of a BROWN precipitate.

Ferric chloride is reduced when zinc and hydrochloric acid are added to its solution and not by passing H_2 gas through its solution. Explain

Answer»

Solution :Ordinary `H_2` is LESS reactive and THEREFORE, it does not reduce acidified `FeCl_3` solution. However, when zinc is added to acidified `FeCl_3` solution, nascent hydrogen is produced which has ENORMOUS ENERGY. It is more reactive than ordinary `H_2` and reduces acidified `FeCl_3` solution.

Fe^(+2) in acidic medium is convert Cr_(2)O_(7)^(-2) ion into Cr^(+3) ion by reduction Fe^(+3) is obtained balance these redox reaction with equation.

Answer»

Solution :Step-1 : Produce unbalanced equation for the reaction in ionic form :
`Fe_((aq))^(+2)+Cr_(2)O_(7(aq))^(-2)toFe_((aq))^(+3)+Cr_((aq))^(+3)`
Step-2 : Separate the equation into half reactions.
Oxidation half : `Fe_((aq))^(+2)toFe_((aq))^(+3)`
Reduction half : `Cr_(2)O_(7(aq))^(-2)toCr_((aq))^(+3)`
Step-3 : Balance the atoms other than O and H in each half reaction individually. Here the oxidation half reaction is already balanced with respect to Fe atoms. For the reduction half reaction, we multiply the `CR^(3+)` by 2 to balance Cr atoms.
`Cr_(2)O_(7(aq))^(-2)to2Cr_((aq))^(+3)`
Step-4 : For reactions occurring in acidic medium, add `H_(2)O` to balance O atoms and `H^(+)` to balance H atoms.
`Cr_(2)O_(7(aq))^(-2)+14H_((aq))^(+)to2Cr_((aq))^(+3)+7H_(2)O_((l))`
Step-5 : Add electrons to one side of the half Oxidation half reaction to balance the CHARGES. If need be, make the NUMBER of electrons equal in the two half reactions by multiplying one or both half reactions by appropriate number.
`OHR:Fe_((aq))^(+2)toFe_((aq))^(+3)+e^(-)`
`RHR:Cr_(2)O_(7(aq))^(-2)+14H_((aq))^(+)+6^(-)to2Cr_((aq))^(+3)+7H_(2)O_((l))`
To EQUALISE the number of electrons in both the half reaction, we add two WATER half reactions, we multiply the oxidation half reaction by 6 and write as : `6Fe_((aq))^(+2)to6Fe_((aq))^(+3)+6e^(-)`
Step-6: We add the two half reactions to achieve the overall reaction and cancel the electrons on each side.
`6Fe_((aq))^(+2)+Cr_(2)O_(7(aq))^(-2)+14H_((aq))^(+)to6Fe_((aq))^(+3)2Cr_((aq))^(+3)+7H_(2)O_((l))`

Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter but intensive properties do not. Explain whether the following properties are extensive or intensive. Mass,internal energy , pressure , heat capacity , molar heat capacity , density, mole fraction, specific heat, temperature and molarity.

Answer»

Solution :Extensiveproperties . Mass , INTERNAL ENERGY , HEAT capacity.
Intensive properties.Pressure, molar heatcapacity, density, mole fraction , specific heat, temperature and molarity.
NOTE. Mole fraction or molarity of a solution is same whether we take a small amount of the soution or large amount of the solution . Otherwise too. ratio of two extensive properties is ALWAYS intensive, i.e.,
`("Extensive")/(Extensive")= ` Intensive
e.g., Mole fraction `= ("Molarof the component") /( "Total no. of moles")=( "Extensive")/( "Extensive") ` and Molarity`= ( "Moles")/( "Volume") = ( "Extensive")/("Extensive")`

Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter but intensive properties do not. Explain whether the following properties are extensive or intensive. Mass, internal energy, pressure, heat capacity, molar heat capacity, density, mole fraction, specific heat, temperature and molarity.

Answer»

Solution :Extensive properties : Those properties whose value depends on the quantity or SIZE of matter present in the SYSTEM is known as extensive properties.
e.g., mass, internal energy, heat capacity.
Intensive properties : Those properties which do not depend on the quantity or size of matter present are known as intensive properties. e.g., pressure, molar heat capacity, density, mole fraction, specific heat, temperature and molarity.
Mole fraction or molarity of a solution is same whether we take a small amount of the solution or large amount of the solution.
Ratio of two extensive properties is always intensive.
`("Extensive")/("Extensive") = "Intensive"`
So, mole fraction and molarity are intensive properties.
e.g., mole fraction `= ("MOLES of the COMPONENT")/("Total no. of moles") = ("Extensive")/( "Extensive")`
and molarity `= ("mole")/( "VOLUME") = ("Extensive")/( "Extensive")`

Express the results of the following calculations to the appropriate number of significant figures. (i) (3.24 xx 0.08666)/(5.006), (ii) 0.58 + 324.65 (iii) 943 xx 0.00345 + 101

Answer»

Solution :(i) In this calculation, the least precise number, i.e., 3.24 has three significant figures. Therefore, the result should be reported UPTO three significant figures only. Hence,
`(3.24 xx 0.08666)/(5.006) = 0.0560883 = 0.0561`
(ii) In this calculation, both the numbers have two decimal PLACES. Hence, the result should be reported upto two decimal places only. Therefore, `0.58 + 324.65 = 325.23` Ans.
(iii) In this calculation 943 and 101 are exact numbers. An exact number is SUPPOSED to have infinite number of significant figures.
Therefore, the least precise number is 0.00345 which CONSISTS of three significant figures. Therefore, `943 xx 0.00345 + 101 = (3.25335) + 101 = 3.25 + 101 = 104.25`
It is to be noted that the product of numbers 943 and 0.00345 comes out to be 3.25335. The result to be reported should contain three significant figures. Therefore, it should be written in the form 3.25. This number now contains two decimal places. Therefore, the result obtained after addition of 101 to it should ALSO have two decimal places. Therefore, the final answer is 104.25.
