How much PCl_(5) must be added to a one litre vessel at 250^(@)C in order to obtain a concentration of 0.1 mole of chlorine ? Equilibrium constant for the dissociation of PCl_(5) " at " 250^(@)C " is " 0.0414.

Answer»


Solution :`{:(,PCl_(5),HARR,PCl_(3),+,Cl_(2)),("Intial","a mole",,,,),(" At EQM.",(a-0*1),,0*1,,0*1 "mol " L^(-1)):}`
`K_(C) = ([PCl_(3)][CL_(2)])/([PCl_(5)]) , 1.e., 0*0414 = (0*1 xx 0*1)/(a-0*1)`
This gives a = `0*3415` mole
2.

How much PCl_(5) must be added to a one litre vessel at 250^(@)C in order to obtain a 35 concentration of 0.1 mol of Cl_(2)? K_(c) for PCl_(5) hArr PCl_(3)+Cl_(2) is 0.0414 mol L^(-1)

Answer»


Solution :`{:(,PCl_(5),hArr,PCl_(3),+,Cl_(2)),("INITIAL moles",a,,0,,0),("moles at",(a-0.1),,0.1,,0.1),("EQUILIBRIUM",,,,,):}`
`:. K_(c)=(0.1/1xx0.1/1)/((a-0.1)/1) ( :' "volume is" 1 L)`
`0.0414=0.01/((a-0.1))` or `a=0.3415 "mol"`

How much oxygen is required for complete combustion of 560 g of ethene?

Answer»

6.4 kg
1.92 Kg
2.8 kg
9.6 kg

Solution :`underset(28G)(C_2H_4)+underset(3xx32=96g)(3O_2) to 2CO_2 + 2H_2O`
28 G of `C_2H_4` REQUIRES 96g of `O_2`
560 g of `C_2H_4` requires `96/28xx560`
=1920g or 1.92kg of `O_2`

How much of 0.3 M ammoniumhydroxide should be mixed with 30 mL of 0.2 M solution of ammonium chloride to give a buffer solution of pH 10. Given pK_(b) for NH_(4)OH is 4.75.

Answer»


Solution :`pOH = 14 - PH = 14 - 0 = 4 `
`pOH = pK_(b) + log .(["Salt"])/(["Base"]), 4= 4.75 + log.(["Salt"])/(["Base"]) or log.(["Salt"])/(["Base"]) = - 0.75 = 1.25 or (["Salt"])/(["Base"]) = 0.1778`
i.e.,`("Moles of salt")/("Moles of base")=0.1778 or ((0.2)/(1000)xx30)/((0.3)/(1000)xxV)=0.1778` or `V = 112.5 ML`
6.

How much of 0.3 M ammonium hydroxide should be mixed with 30 mL of 0.2 M solution of ammonium chloride to give buffer solutions of pH 8.65 and 10 (pK_b = 4.75) ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :For BASIC buffer solution,
`PH=14-pK_b+"LOG""[Base]"/"[Salt]"`
pH=14-4.75 +log `"[Base]"/"[Salt]"`
or log `"[Base]"/"[Salt]"` = pH-9.25
(i)For suffer of pH=8.65
log `"[Base]"/"[Salt]"`=8.65-9.25
or `"[Base]"/"[Salt]"` =Antilog (-0.60)=0.25
or `([NH_4OH])/([NH_4Cl])=((0.3xxV)/1000)/((0.2xx30)/1000)`=0.25
`V=(0.25xx0.2xx30xx1000)/(0.3xx1000)`
=5.02 ML
Similarly for solution of pH =10
log `"[Base]"/"[Salt]"` =10-9.25
`"[Base]"/"[Salt]"` =antilog 0.75=5.62
`therefore ((0.3xxV)/1000)/((0.2xx30)/1000)=5.62`
`therefore V=(5.62xx0.2xx30xx1000)/(0.3xx1000)`
=12.94 mL
7.

How much energy is required to ionise a hydrogen atom if the electron occupies n=5 orbit ? Compare your answer with the ionisation energy of hydrogen atom (energy required to remove the electron from n=1 orbit).

Answer»

Solution :`E_(n)=-(21.8xx10^(-19))/n^(2)" J ATOM"^(-1)`
For ionization from 5TH ORBIT, `n_(1)=5, n_(2)=OO`
`:. Delta E=E_(2)-E_(1)=-21.8xx10^(-19) (1/n_(2)^(2)-1/n_(1)^(2))=21.8xx10^(-19) (1/n_(1)^(2)-1/n_(2)^(2))=21.8xx10^(-19) (1/5^(2) -1/oo)`
`=8.72xx10^(-20) J`
For ionization from 1st orbit, `n_(1)=1, n_(2)=oo`
`Delta E'=21.8xx10^(-19) (1/1^(2)-1/oo)=21.8xx10^(-19) J`
`(Delta E')/(Delta E)=(21.8xx10^(-19))/(8.72xx10^(-20))=25`
Thus, the energy required to remove electron from 1st orbit is 25 times than that required to remove electron from 5th orbit.

Calculate the ionisation energy of hydrogen atom as well as energy needed to promote its electron from first energy level to third energy level

Answer»

SOLUTION :Ionizationenthalpy n=5
forionization n`=prop=n_(F )`
in initialelectron is inn=5so `n_(i)=5 ` hydrogen
z=1
`Delta E = 2.18 xx 10^(18)((1)/(n_(1)^(2) ) - (1)/(n_(f )^(2)))= IE_(5)`
`=2.18 xx 10^(18)((1)/(5^(2)) - (1)/(prop^(2)))`
`=(2.18 xx 10^(18))/( 25) J`
tibalanceionisationenthalpy of `IE_(5) ` and `IE_(1)` :
`(1E_(5))/( 1E_(1)) = (8.72 xx 10^(20)J )/( 2.18 xx 10^(18) J) = 4.-036 xx 10^(2)= 0.04`
ionizationenthalpyof n=1compareto n=5is0.04
for`n_(5)`LESSAND `n_(1)` moreionizationenthalpy
`IE(5): IE (1)`
`=0.04 :1`
`4:100`
`1: 25`
So IE (1) isapprox25 timemorethan1E(5 )`

How much energy is released when 6 mole of octane is burnt in air? GivenDelta H_(f)^(0) " for " CO_(2(g)), H_(2)O_((g)) and C_(8)H_(18(l)) respectively are -390, -240 and +160 KJ/mol

Answer»

`-32.6 MJ`
`-37.4 MJ`
`-35.5 MJ`
`-20.00 MJ`

SOLUTION :`C_(8) H_(18) + (25)/(2) O_(2) rarr *CO_(2) + 9H_(2)O`
`Delta H_("comb") = 8 Delta H_(f_(CO_(2))) + 9Delta H_(f_(H_(2)O)) - Delta H_(f_(C_(8)H_(18)))`
`= 8 xx(-390) + 9 xx (-240) - (+160)`
`= --5400` kJ/mol
For 6 moles `= -32640kJ = - 32.6` MJ

How much copper sulphate will be required to saturate 100g of a dilute aqueous solution of CuSO_(4) at 25^(@)C if 10g of the dilute solution leave on evaporation and drying 1.2g of anhydrous CuSO_(4) ? The solubility of CuSO_(4) in water at 25^(@)C is 25.

Answer»

Solution :100g of dilute solution of `CuSO_(4)` CONTAIN
`=1.2 xx 10 = 12.0 g CuSO_(4)`
MASS of water present in dilute solution
`=(100-12)=88g`
To saturate 100g of water, `CuSO_(4)` required = 25g
So, to saturate 88g of water, `CuSO_(4)` required `= (25)/(100)xx88`
`=22g`
Thus, the mass of `CuSO_(4)` to be ADDED to 100g of dilute solution to saturate it `= (22-12)=10g`.
