The degree of dissociation of N_(2) O_(2) into NO_(2) at one atmosphere and 40^(@)C is 0.310. For this :

Answer»

`K_(P)` = 0.42 atm
`K_(c)` = 0.003 mole `lit^(-)`
Degree of dissociation at 10 atm pressure at same temperature `alpha` = 0.1025
Degree of dissociation (`alpha`) decreases with increase pressure a given temperature

Solution :`underset(underset(0.7)(1-0.3))underset(1)(N_(2)O_(4(g))) harr underset(underset(0.6)(0.6))underset(0)(2NO_(2(g)))`
Total moles = 0.7 +0.6=1.3
`Kp=(P^(2)NO_(2))/(PN_(2)O_(4))=(((0.6)/(1.3))^(2))/((0.7)/(1.3))=(0.6 xx 0.6)/(1.3 xx 0.7)`
`=0.4 atm implies Kp=Kc(RT)^(Delta n_((g)))`

The degree of dissociation of HI at a particular temperature is 0*8. Calculate the volume of2 MNa_(2)S_(2)O_(3) solution required to neutralize the iodine present in the equilibrium mixture of a reaction when 2 mole each of H_(2) and I_(2) are heated in a closed vessel of 2 litre capacity.

Answer»

Solution :Degreeof disociation of `HI (alpha) = 0*8`
`{:(,2 HI,hArr,H_(2),+,I_(2)),("Before dissociation",1,,0,,0),("Moles after disso",1-alpha,,alpha//2,,alpha//2):} `
`K_(c) = ((alpha//2)(alpha//2))/(1 -alpha)^(2) = alpha^(2)/(4(1 -alpha)^(2) )=(0*8)/(4(1-0*8)^(2))= 4`
Step 2. Calculation of `I_(2)`in equilibrium MIXTURE.
` {:(,H_(2),+,I_(2),hArr,2 HI),("Intial moles",2,,2,,0), ("Moles after reaction ",(2-x),,(2-x),,2x//2), ("Molar conc.",(2-x)//2,,(2-x)//2,,2x//2):}`
`K'_(c)= 1/K_(c)-(2x//2)^(2)/(((2-x)/2)((2-x)/2))=(4x^(2))/(2-x)^(2)`
` :. (4x^(2))/(2-x)^(2) = 1/4 or (2x)/(2-x) =1/2 or x=2/5 `
Thus, `I_(2) "left" = 2 - 2/5 = 8/5"mole. "`
Step 3. Calculation of VOLUME of hypo solution used .
`2 Na _(2) S_(2) O_(3) + I_(2) to Na_(2) S_(4) O_(6) + 2 Nal `
` :. "Moles of " N_(2)S_(2)O_(3)" reacted " = 2 xx 8/5 "mole" = 16/5 "mole " `
Volume of 2 M ` Na_(2)S_(2) O_(3) " reacted " = 1000/2 xx 16/5 = 1600 "mL " = 1*6 L`

Answer»

SOLUTION :` {:(,PCl_(5),hArr,PCl_(3),+,Cl_(2)),("At equilibrium",0*6,,0*4,,0*4 "moles"):} `
Average molecular MASS of the mixture` ( 0*6(31 + 5 xx 35*5 ) + 0*4 (31 + 3 xx 35*5)+ 0*4 (2 xx 35 *5 ))/( 0*6 + 0 *4 + 0*4 )`
` =( 125*1+ 55 + 42*6)/ (1*4)=148* 92`
For ideal gases ,`PV = nRT = w/M RT or PM = w/V RT= d RT `
`:.d= (PM)/(RT)= (1xx 148* 92 )/(0* 08205 xx 400 )= 4* 5374 g L^(-1) `
