State Henry's law for slubility of a gas in a liquid. Explain the significance of Henry's law constnat (K_(H)). At the same temperatue, hydrogen is more soluble in water than helium. Which of them will have a higer value of K_(H)and Why?

Answer»

Solution :Henry.s law states that the solubility of a gas in liquid at a given temperature is directly PROPORTIONAL to the partial pressure of the gas.
`P _(k _(H)X`
where P is the pressure of the gas, x is the mole fraction of the gas in the solution and `K_(H)` is the Henry.s law constant. `K_(H)` is a function of the nature of gas. Higher the value of `K_(H)` at a given temperature, lower is the solubility of the gas in the liquid.
As helium is less soluble in water, so it has a higher value of `K_(H)` than hydrogen.
Henry.s Law: As dissolution of AGAR in liquid is an exothermic PROCESS, therefore, the solubility should decrease with in increase in temperature.
16.

State Henry's law and mention some of its important applications.

(ii) In the DEEP sea diving.
(iii) In the function of LUNGS.
(iv) For climbers or people living at high altitudes.

State Henry's law .

Answer»


Answer :According to him," the partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase (vapour pressure of the solute) is directle proportional to the mole FRACTION (x) of the gaseous solute in the solution at low concentrations" is statement is KNOWN as Henry's law.
Henry's law CANBE expressed as,
`P_("solute")propX_("solute in solution")`
`P_("solute")=K_(H^(X_("solute in solution")))`
Here, `P_("solute") ` REPRESENTS the partial pressure of the gas in vapour state which is COMMONLY called as vapour pressure.

State factors affecting Hydrogen bond.

Answer»

Solution :Electronegative : As the electronegative of atom with hydrogen decreases strengths of H-bond decreases.
`HF_((s)) gt HF_((l)) gt HF_((g)) `
`larr` strength INCREASES
`larr` Strength decrease
Physical state : ln solid, liquid and gas INTER- molecular DISTANCE decrease respectively so strength of H-bond also decreases
`HF_((s)) gt HF_((l)) gt HF_((g)) `
`larr` INTERMOLECULAR distance decreases
`larr` Strength of H-bood increase
So , `({:(H_(2)O_((s))),(ICe):})gt ({:(H_(2)O_((l))),("Water"):}) gt ({:(H_(2)O_((g))),("Vapour"):})`
`larr` Strength of H-bond increase

State as to why sodium is found to be more useful than potassium ?

Answer»

Solution :Blood plasma and the interstitial fluids SURROUNDING the CELLS are the regions where sodium ions are primarily found. Potassium ions are LOCATED with in the cell fluids. Sodium ions are involved in the transmission of nerve SIGNALS, in regulating the flow of water across the cell membranes, and in TRANSPORTING sugars and amino acids into the cells. Hence, sodium is found to be more useful than potassium.

State as to whya solution of Na_(2)CO_(3) is alkaline?

46.

State as to whyalkali metals are prepared by electrolysis of their fused chlorides?

Answer»

Solution :It is not possible to prepare alkali metals by the chemical reduction of their oxides as they themselves are very strong reducing agents. They cannot be prepared by displacement reactions either (wherein one element is displaced by another). This is because these elements are highly electropositive. Neither can electrolysis of aqueous solutions be USED to extract these elements. This is because the liberated metals react with water. HENCE, to overcome these difficulties, alkali metals are usually prepared by the electrolysis of their FUSED CHLORIDES.
47.

State as to why a solution of Na_2CO_3 is alkaline

State as to why (a) a solution of Na_(2)CO_(3) is alkaline ? (b) alkali metals are prepared by electrolysis of their fused chlorides? (c) sodium is found to be more useful than potassium ?

Answer»

Solution :`Na_2CO_3`is a salt of WEAK acid `(H_2CO_3)` and strong base `(NaOH)`. When dissolved in water, it undergoes HYDROYSIS as FOLLOWS.
`Na_2CO_3 to 2Na^(+) + CO_3^(2-)`
`CO_3^(2-) + 2H_2O to H_2CO_3 + 2OH^(-)`
Due to an excess of `OH^(-)` IONS, the solution becomes alkaline.

State as to why (a) Alkali metals show only +1 oxidation state (b) Na and K impart colour to the flame but Mg does not.lt (c) Lithium on being heated in air mainly forms the monoxide and not the peroxide (d) Li is the best reducing agent in aqueous solution

Answer»

SOLUTION : Alkali metals have low jonization enthalpies
They have a strong tendency to lose 1 electron to form unipositive ions. Thus they show an oxidation state of +1 and are strongly electropositive.
(b) Valence electrons of alkali metals LIKE Na and K easily absorb energy from the flame and are excited to higher energy levels. When these electrons return to the ground state, the energy is emitted in the form of light. Magnesium atom has small size so electrons are strongly bound to the nucleus. Thus they need large amount of energy for EXCITATION of electrons to higher energy levels, which is not possible in Bunsen flame.
(C) Due to the small size of `Li^(+)` it has a strong positive field, which attracts the negative charge so strongly that it does not permit the oxide ion `(O^(2-))` to combine with another oxygen atom to form peroxide ion.
(d) Among alkali metals, lithium has the most negative electrode potential`(Etheta -3.04 V)`, so it is the strongest reducing agent in the aqueous solution

State as to why : (a) a solution of Na_(2)CO_(3) is alkaline ? (b) alkali metals are prepared by electrolysis of their fused chlorides ? (c) Sodium is found to be more useful than potassium ?

Answer»

Solution :(a)`Na_(2)CO_(3)` is a salt of a weak acid, carbonic acid `(H_(2)CO_(3))` and a STRONG base , sodium hydroxide `(NaOH)` therefore , it undergoes hydrolysis to undergoes hydrolysis to produce strong base NaOH and hence its aqeous solution is ALKALINE in nature .
`Na_(2)CO_(3) (s) + H_(2)O(l)to underset("(Strong base)") (2NaOH (aq)) + underset("(Weak acid)") (H_(2)CO_(3) ) (aq)`
(b) Since the discharge potential of alkali metals is much HIGHER than that of hydrogen , therefore , when the aqueous solution of any alkali metal chloride is subjected to electrolysis . `H_(2)` instead of the alkali metal is produced at the cathode . Therefore , to prepare alkali metals , electrolysis of their fused chlorides is carried out .
(c) Sodium ions are found primarily in the blood plasma and in the interstitial fluid which surrounds the cells while potassium ions are primarily present within the cell fluids . Sodium ions helps in the transmission of nerve signals , in regulating the flow of water across cell membranes and in the transport of SUGARS and amino acids into the cells . Thus , sodium is found to be more useful than potassium .
