Pressure of 1 g of an ideal gas A at 27 ^(@)C is found to be 2 bar. When 2 g of another ideal gas B is introduced in the same flask at same temperature the pressure becomes 3 bar. Find a relationship between their molecular masses.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Suppose the molecular mass of the ideal gas A is MA and that of B is Me. When only the ideal gas A is PRESENT,
`PV = nRT`
`2xx V = 1/M_Axx RxxT (:. n = m/M =1/M) ...(i)`
On mixing the TWO gases, total number of moles
`=1/M_A+2/M_B`
Hence, according to the gas EQUATION
`PV = nRT`
`3xxV=(1/M_A+2/M_B)xxRxxT... (ii)`
Dividing eq. (ii) by eq. (i), we have
`3/2 = ((M_B + 2M_A)/(M_A M_B))/(1/M_A)=(M_B+2M_A)/M_B =(1+2xxM_A)/M_B`
or `2xxM_A/M_B = 3/2 - 1 = 1/2`
or `M_A/M_B = 1/2 xx 1/2 = 1/4`
or `M_B =4xxM_A`
21.

Pressure of 1 g of an ideal gas A at 27^(@)C is found to be 2 bar. When 2 g of another ideal gas B is introduced in the same flask at same temperature the pressure becomes 3 bar. Find a relationship between their molecular masses.

Answer»

Solution :Ideal gas A :
Mass `(m_(1))=1 g`
Pressure `p_(A)=2` bar
Molecular mass `= M_(A)`
Ideal gas B :
Mass `(m_(2))=2g`
Pressure `p_(B)=1` bar
Molecular mass `= M_(B)`
Temperature T and volume V of both gases are same
Total pressure `p_(A)+p_(B)=3` bar
`therefore p_(B)=3` bar `- p_(A)`
= 3 bar - 2 bar = 1 bar
Mole `(n_(A))=(1g)/(M_(A))` and Mole `(n_(B))=(2g)/(M_(B))`
Total mole `= (n_(A)+n_(B))=(1)/(M_(A))+(2)/(M_(B))`
`pV=nRT`
`pV=(m)/(M)RT`
`therefore p=(m)/(M)((RT)/(V))`
`therefore p_(A)=(m_(A))/(M_(A))((RT)/(V))""`.....(i)
`therefore p_(B)=(m_(B))/(M_(B))((RT)/(V)) ""`.....(II)
where, `(RT)/(V)=` constasnt (`because` R constant and T, V are not changed)
Now RATIO of (i) and (ii) as under so,
`(p_(A))/(p_(B))=(m_(A))/(M_(A))xx(M_(B))/(m_(B))`
`therefore ("2 bar")/("1 bar")=(1g xx M_(B))/(M_(A)xx 2g)`
`therefore (M_(B))/(M_(A))=(2xx2)/(1xx1)=4 "so " M_(B)=4M_(A)`
22.

Pressure of 1 g of an ideal gas A 27^(@)C is found to be 2 bar. When 2 g of another ideal gas B is introduced in the same flask at same temperature, the pressure becomes 3 bar. Find the relationship between their molecular masses.

Answer»

Solution :Suppose molecular MASSES of A and B `M_(A)` and `M_(B)` respectively. Then their number of moles will be
`m_(A)=(1)/(M_(A)),""n_(B)=(2)/(M_(B))`
`P_(A)=2"BAR", P_(A)+P_(B)=3"bar",i.e.,P_(B)=1"bar"`
Applying the relation, PV=nRT
`P_(A)V=n_(A)RT,P_(B)V=n_(B)RT`
`:."" (P_(A))/(P_(B))=(n_(A))/(n_(B))=(1//M_(A))/(2//M_(B))=(M_(B))/(2M_(A))`
`"or" (M_(B))/(M_(A))=2XX(P_(A))/(P_(B))=2xx(2)/(1)=4"" or "" M_(B)=4M_(A)`.

Pressure is determined as force per unit area of the surface. The SI unit of pressure, pascal is as shown below : 1 Pa = 1 Nm^(-2) . If mass of air at sea level is 1034 g cm^(-2), calculate the pressure in pascal.

Answer»

Solution :Pressure is the force (i.e., weight) PER unit area. Weight of air at SEA level = m.g = `1.034 xx 9.8 =10.1332 KG ms^(-2), (therefore m =1034 g = 1.034 kg, g = 9.8 ms^(-2)`)
`therefore` Pressure `=("Weight")/("area") = (10.1332 kg ms^(-2))/(10^(-4) m^(2)) = 101332 kg m^(-1) s^(-2)`
`therefore` 1 Pascal `=1 Nm^(-2) =(1N)/m^(2) = (1 kg ms^(-2))/m^(2) = 1 kg m^(-1) s^(-2)`
`therefore` Pressure of air `=101332 kg m^(-1)s^(-2) = 101332 Pa = 1.01332 xx 10^(5)` Pa

Pressure is determined as force per unit area of the surface. The SI unit of pressure, pascal is as shownbelow : 1Pa = 1N m^(-2) If mass of air at sea level is 1034 g cm^(-2), calculate the pressure in pascal.

Answer»



Solution :Pressure MEANS force or weight PER area.
`P=("Force")/("Area")=(1034g XX 9.8ms^(-2))/(cm^(2))`
`=(1034 kg xx 100 xx 100 xx9.8 ms^(-2))/(1000m^(2))`
`= 101332.0Nm^(-2) = 1.01332 xx 10^(5)Pa`

Pressure exerted by saturated water vapour is called aqueous tension. What correction tern will you apply to the total pressure to obtain pressure of dry gas ?

Answer»

Solution :WHENEVER a GAS is collected over water, it is saturated and moistured with water vapoures which possesses their own pressure. The pressure due to water vapours is known as aqueous tension thus, the TOTAL pressure of the gas (P moisdt gas) is
`P_("MOIST gas")=P_("dry gas")+` aqueous tension
Thus, `P_("dry gas")` is given as
`P_("dry gas")=P_("moist gas")-` aqueous tension
Hence, the correction term applied to the total pressure of the gas in order to OBTAIN pressure of dry gas is p moist gas - aqueous tension.

Present a comparative account of the alkali and alkaline earth metals with respect to the following characteristics : (a) Tendency to form ionic/covalent compounds.(b) Nature of oxides and their solubility in water. (C) Formation of oxosalts (d) Solubility of oxosalts (e) Thermal stability of oxosalts

Answer»

Solution : (a) ALKALINE EARTH metals give ionic compounds but these compounds are less ionic than alkali metals because of more effective nuclear CHARGE and small size.
(b) Oxides of alkaline earth metals are less basic than the oxides of alkali metals. These oxides are WATER soluble and the reactions are highly exothermic. Hydroxides of alkaline earth metals are less basic than hydroxides of alkali metals.
(c) Alkaline earth metals give oxo salts with oxoacids but reactivity of alkali metals is faster. The reactivity of alkaline earth metals is less due to small size and more nuclear charge.
(d) Oxosalts of alkaline earth metals are more soluble than oxosalts of alkali metals because of small size of cation and high hydration enthalpy.
(e) Thermal stability of oxosalts of alkali metals is more than oxosalts of alkaline earth metals. `Na_(2)CO_(3)`is stable towards heat but `MgCO_(3)` on heating is decomposed into MgO and `CO_(2)`.

SOLUTION :The total hydration enegry of `AI^(3+)` and `3CI^(Theta)` IONS is `DeltaH_(hyd) ={-4665 +3(-381)} kJ mol^(-1) = - 5808 kJ mol^(-1)` The enegry RELEASED is more than that required for the ionisation of `AI` to `AI^(3+)` (which is `-4665 kJ mol^(-1))` causing ionisation of `AICI_(3)` solution. Thus, the compound `AICI_(3)` BECOMES ionic in aqueous solution.

Reaction (b) : The value of `K_c` is between `10^(-3)` to `10^(+3)` So, [Products] `LT`[REACTANT] because `K_c lt 1`.
Reaction (c): The value of `K_c` is very less. So, the amount of PRODUCT at equilibrium is nigligible.
Reaction (d) : `K_c` is much HIGH, So, only mainly products present at equilibrium.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Following CONCLUSION can be drawn from the values of `K_(c)`
Since the value of `K_c` is very small, this means that the molar CONCENTRATION of the products is very small as compared to that of the reactants.
(b) Since the value of `K_C` is quite large, this means that the molar concentration of the products is very large as compared to that of the reactants.
(c) Since the value of `K_C` is 1.8, this means that both the products and reactants have APPRECIABLE concentrations.
