Answer»

SOLUTION :SPONTANEOUS
2.

If Delta H = 35.5 kJ/mol and Delta S = 83.6 J/mol K. At what temperature the reaction will be spontaneous?

Answer»

`T GT 425 K`
Each temperature
`T lt 298` K
`T gt 425 K`

Solution :`DELTA G = Delta H - T Delta S`
`T= (Delta H)/( Delta S) = (35.5 xx 1000)/( 83.6) = 425K`
`therefore` Reaction will be spontaneous at temperature `T gt 425 K`.

If DeltaG = - 177 K cal for (1) 2 Fe(s) + (3)/(2)O_(2)(g) rarr Fe_(2)O_(3)(s) and DeltaG = - 19 K cal for (2) 4 Fe_(2)O_(3)(s) + Fe(s) rarr 3 Fe_(3)O_(4) (s) What is the Gibbs free energy of formation of Fe_(3)O_(4) ?

Answer»

`+ 229.6 ("kcal")/("mol")`
`-242.3 ("kcal")/("mol")`
`-727 ("kcal")/("mol")`
`-229.6 ("kcal")/("mol")`

Solution :Reaction for formation of `Fe_(3)O_(4)` is
`3Fe_((s)) + 2O_(2(g)) RARR Fe_(3)O_(4(s))` …(1)
And we have reactions as follows: `2Fe_((s)) + (3)/(2) O_(2(g)) rarr Fe_(2)O_(3(s))` …(2)
`4Fe_(2)O_(3(s)) + Fe_((s)) rarr 3Fe_(3)O_(4)` ..(3)
Eq (1) `= (Eq(2) XX 4 + Eq (3) xx 1)/(3)`
So, `Delta G = (4 (-177) + (-19))/(3)`
`= -242.3` Kcal/mole
5.

If Delta G = Delta H - T Delta S and Delta G = Delta H + T [(d(Delta G))/(dT)]_(P) then variation of emf of a cell E, with temperature T is given by:

Answer»

<P>`(Delta H)/(NF)`

`(Delta S)/(nF)`
`-(Delta S)/(nF)`

SOLUTION :`((DEL E)/(del T))_(P) = (Delta)/(nF) = (Delta H - Delta G)/(nFT)`

If Delta E is the energy emitted in electron vots when an electronic transition occurs from higher energy level to a lower energy level in H-atom, the wavelength of the line produced is approximately equal to

Answer»

`(19800)/(DeltaE) Å`
`(12375)/(DeltaE) Å`
`(13600)/(DELTA E) Å`
`(21800)/(Delta E) Å`

Solution :`Delta E = hv = (HC)/(lamda) or lamda = (hc)/(Delta E)`
If `Delta E` is in joules,
`lamda = ((6.6 xx 10^(-34) KG m^(2) s^(-1)) (3.0 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)))/(Delta E (kg m^(2) s^(-1)))`
`= (19.8 xx 10^(-26))/(Delta E) m`
If `Delta E` is in eV, then as `1 eV = 1.6 xx 10^(-19) J`
`lamda = (19.8 xx 10^(-26))/(Delta E xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19)) m = (12.375 xx 10^(-7))/(Delta E) m`
`= (12375 xx 10^(-10))/(Delta E) m = (12375)/(Delta E) Å`

Answer»

`T_1 LT T_2 lt T_3`
`T_1 GT T_2 gt T_3`
`T_3 gt T_1 gt T_2`
`T_1 = T_2 = T_3`

SOLUTION :Velocities `alpha sqrt(T)`
normally at same `T, C_p < C`
but as `T uarr, C_p = C_((T)) implies T_1 > T_2`
Similarly `T_2 > T_3`.

Define dipole moment. The dipole moment of BF_3 is zero. Why?

Answer»


ANSWER :In `BCl_3` the three polar B-Cl bonds are directed towards the three CORNERS of an equilateral triangle. DIPOLE moment is a vector quantity. Sicne `BCl_2` is SYMMETRICAL, the individual moments get CANCELLED. Thus `BCl_3` has a net dipole moment zero.
25.

If B–Cl bond has a dipole moment,explain why BCl_(3) molecule has zero dipole moment.

Answer»

Solution :The ELECTRONEGATIVITY of boron is 2.0, while that of CI is 3.0. Due to the difference in electronegativity, B - CI bond is polar and has a definite dipole moment. `BCl_3` is a trigonal planar molecule due to `sp^2` hybridisation state of B in it. In `BCl_3`, the three B - Cl BONDS lie in the same plane at an angle of `120^@`. THEREFORE, the RESULTANT dipole moment of two B - Cl bonds is EQUAL in magnitude and opposite in direction to the dipole moment of the third B-Cl bond. As a result, the net dipole moment of `BCl_3` molecule is zero as shown below.
26.

If B-Cl bond has a dipole moment, explain why BCl_3 molecule has zero dipole moment.

Answer»

Solution :As a result of the difference in the electronegativities of B and CL, the B Cl bond is polar in nature.
HOWEVER, the `BCl_3` molecule is non-polar. This is because `BCl_3` is trigonal planar in SHAPE. It is a symmetrical molecule.

Hence, the RESPECTIVE dipole-moments of the B-Cl bond cancel each other, there by causing a zero-dipole MOMENT.

If any equilibrium process equation is multiply by any factor n, still there is no change in equilibrium constant explain with example.

Answer»

Solution :The equilibrium of HI SYNTHESIS at definite temperature is as under.
`H_(2(g)) + I_(2(g)) hArr 2HI_((g))`…(Eq.-i)
The equilibrium constant `K_c` is as,
`K_c=([HI]^2)/([H_2][I_2])=X` ….(Eq.-ii)
On MULTIPLYING the [7.9(ii)] HI synthesis equation by n, we GET (Eq.-7.18).
`nH_2+nI_2=2n HI`....(Eq.-iii)
For this (Eq.-7.18) reaction the equilibrium constant `K.._c` so,
`K.._c=([HI]^(2n))/([H_2]^n [I_2^n])=[[HI]^2/([H_2][I_2])]^n=X^n`....(Eq.-iv)
Thus , `K_c=[I_2]^n` and `K.._c=X^n`
`therefore (K_c)(K.._c)=(X)(X)^n`
`therefore K.._c=(K_c)^n`...(Eq.-v)
It should be noted that because the equilibrium constants `K_c` and `K.._c` have different numerical values, it is important to SPECIFY the form of the balanced chemical equation when quoting the value of an equilibrium constant.

If an electron is moving with a velocity 600 ms^(-1) which is accurate upto 0.005%, then calculate the uncertainty in its position (h = 6.63 xx 10^(-34)Js, " mass of electron" = 9.1 xx 10^(-31) kg)

Answer»

Solution :Velocity of the ELECTRON `= 600 ms^(-1)`
Uncertainty in velocity `= (0.005)/(100) xx 600 ms^(-1) = 0.03 ms^(-1) = 3 xx 10^(-2) ms^(-1)`
Now `(DELTA x) (m Delta v) = (h)/(4PI)`
`:. Delta x = (h)/(4pi m Delta v) = (6.63 xx 10^(-34) kg m^(2) s^(-1))/(4 xx 3.14 xx 9.1 xx 10^(-31) kg xx 3 xx 10^(-2) ms^(-1)) = 1.93 xx 10^(-3)m`
