Which of the following reactionis faster ?

Answer»



Both are EQUALLY FAST
REACTION (a)is not possible

Answer :A
2.

When water is added to compound (A) of calcium, solution of compound (B) is formed. When carbon dioxide is passed into the solution, it turns milky due to the formation of compound (C). If excess of carbon dioxide is passed into the solution milkiness disappears due to the formation of compound (D). Identify the compounds A, B, C and D. Explain why the milkiness disappears in the last step.

Answer»

Solution :SolutionB turns milky ion passing`CO_(2)`, it is lime WATER `Ca(OH)_(2)`and comound C which gives milky appearance is `CaCO_(3)`. On passing excess of `CO_(2)`milkinessdisappears due to the FORMATION of compound D that is `Ca(HCO_(3))_(2)`. Compound A REACTS with water and gives B. It is CaO.
The reactions are :
(i) `underset((A)) (CaO) +H_(2)O tounderset((B))underset("Lime water")(Ca(OH)_(2))`
(ii)`underset((B))(Ca(OH)_(2))+underset((C ))underset(("Milky solution"))underset("Calcium carbonate")(CO_(2)+CaCO_(3)+H_(2)O)`
(iii)On passing high amount of `CO_(2)` through calcium carbonate solution, it forms calcium BICARBONATE, which remove milky colour of solution.
`underset((C ))underset("Milky colour")(CaCO_(3)) +CO_(2)+H_(2)O to underset((D))underset("(Soluble carbonate)")underset("Calcium carbonate")(Ca(HCO_(3))_(2))`

What are the oxidation number of the underlined elements in each of the followingand how do you rationalize your results ? (a) KunderlineI_(3) (b) H_(2)underlineS_(4)O_(6) ( c) underlineFe_(3)O_(4) (d) underlineCH_(3)underlineCH_(2)OH (e) underlineCH_(3)underlineCOOH

Answer»

Solution :(a) `KunderlineI_(3)` = Oxidation number of K = +1
`THEREFORE` Oxidation number of `I=-1/3`, but oxidation number of I be in whole number.
`K^(+)[I-IlarrI]^(-)`
In `KI_(3),I_(2)andI^(-)` makes a covelant bond between them. Where oxidation number of `I_(2)=0`.
`therefore` Oxidation number of I is -1. In `KI_(3)` respectively, oxidation number of 3 IODINE are 0, 0 and -1.
(b) `H_(2)underlineS_(4)O_(6)` : Here, same oxidation number of four sulfur are not possible.
`H-O-underset(O)underset(||)overset(O)overset(||)(S)-S-S-underset(O)underset(||)overset(O)overset(||)(S)-O-H`
Here, 2, S - S bonding their oxidation number is zero. RATHER the two S left, their oxidation number is +1.
( c) `underlineFe_(3)O_(4)` : 3Fe + 4(O) = 0
3Fe + 4(-2) = 0
`x=8/3`
Now, from the stoichiometry :
`Fe_(3)O_(4)=FeO*Fe_(2)O_(3)`
`FeOtoFe+(-2)=0`
`thereforeFe=+2`
`Fe_(2)O_(3)to2Fe+3(-2)=0`
`therefore2Fe-6=0`
`therefore2Fe=+6`
`thereforeFe=+3`
(d) `underlineCH_(3)underlineCH_(2)OH=C_(2)H_(6)O`
`therefore2(C)+6(+1)+1(-2)=0`
`therefore2(C)+6-2=0`
`therefore2(C)+4=0`
`thereforeC=-2`
Structure : `H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(""^(2)C)-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C^(1))-OH`
Here, `C_(2)` attached with three hydrogen atom and ALSO with the group `CH_(2)OH`.
Oxidation number of `C_(2)=3(+1)+C_(2)+1(-1)=0`
`thereforeC_(2)=-2`
`C_(1)` attached with OH (Oxi. number -1) and - `CH_(3)` (Oxi. number +1).
Oxidation number of `C_(1)=+1+2(+1)+C_(1)+1(-1)=0`
`thereforeC_(1)=-2`
(E) `underlineCH_(3)underlineCOOH` : x + 1 - 2
`CH_(3)COOH:C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)`
`therefore2x+4(+1)+2(-2)=0`
`therefore2x+4-4=0`
`thereforex=0`
Structure : `H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(""^(2)C)-underset(H)underset(||)overset(1)(C)-OH`
Here, `C_(2)` is attached to three hydrogen atoms and with group -COOH.
Oxidation number of `C_(2)=3(+1)+C_(2)+1(-1)=0`
`thereforeC_(2)=-2`
`C_(1)` is attached with oxygen with double bond and other bond with OH and one `CH_(3)` group (Oxi. number = +1). Therefore,
Oxidation number of `C_(1)=+1+C_(1)+1(-2)+1(-1)=0`
`thereforeC_(1)=+2`

What volume at S.T.P is occupied by (i) 3.50 g of nitrogen? (ii) 6.022 xx 10^(21)molecules of ammonia? (iii) 0.350 moles of oxygen? (iv) 39.9 g of argon?

Answer»

Solution :(i) The NUMBER of moles in 3.50 g of nitrogen
`=(3.50)/(28.02) = 0.125`
(since, the gram molecular mass of `N_(2)` is 28.02 g)
`therefore` One mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L at S.T.R
`therefore` Thevolumeoccupiedby0.125moles =` 0.125 xx 22.4 = 2.80 L`

Hence, 3.50 g of N2 occupy a VOLUME of 2.80 litres at S.T.P Ans.
(ii) One mole of a gas has 6.022 x 10 MOLECULES and occupies a volume of 22.4 L at S.T.P.
`therefore` The volume occupied by `6.022 xx 10^21` molecules.
(III) The volume occupied by 0.350 moles of `O_(2)` at S.T.P. = `0.350 xx 22.4 = 7.84` L (because the volume occupied by one mole at S.T.P. is 22.4 L)
Hence, 0.350 moles of `O_(2)` occupy 7.84 litres at S.T.P. Ans.
(iv) Argon is monoatomic in nature.
`therefore` 1 gram mole of Ar = 1 g atom of Ar = 39.95 g Hence, 39.95 g (1 mole) of argon will occupy a volume of 22.4 L at S.T.P.

Ethylene glycol (molar mass = 62 g mol ^(-1)) is a common automobile antifreeze. Calculate the freezing point of a solution containing 12.4 of this substance in 100 g of water. Would it be advisable to keep this substance in the car radiator during summer? (K_(f) for water= 1.86 k kg//mol) (K_(b) for water = 0.512 K kg//mol.)

Answer»

SOLUTION :`Delta T_(b) = K _(b) xx (W_(B))/(M _(B)) xx ( 1000 )/( W _(A)) = 0.512 xx (12.4)/(62) xx (100)/(100) = 1. 024 K`
Since WATER boils at `100^(@)C,` so a solution CONTAINING ethylene glycol will boil at `101.024 ^(@)C,` so it is advisable to keep this substance in car RADIATOR during summer.
