According to Arrhenius acid-base theory, the strength of acid and base depends on

Answer»

magnitude of accepting electron.
magnitude of accepting proton.
magnitude of donating proton.
IONIZATION in aqueous solution.

Solution :According to Arrhenius, the substance which GIVE `H^+` on ionization in water is called ACID and the substance which give `OH^-` on ionization in water is called base.
So, As more ionization TAKE place in aqueous solution and more `H^+` or `OH^-` form then it is strong acid/base.

AB_(2) " dissociates as " : AB_(2) (g) hArr AB (g) + B (g). If the intial pressure is 500 mm of Hg and the total pressure at equilibriumis 700 mm 0f Hg, calculate K_(p)for the reaction.

Answer»

Solution :After dissociation , suppose the decrease in the pressure of `AB_(2)` at equilibrium is p MM. Then
` {:(,AB_(2) (G),hArr,AB (g),+,B (g)),(" Intial pressure",500 mm,,0,,0),(" Pressures at eqm.",(500-)p " mm", ,p" mm",,p " mm"):} `
`:. " Total pressure at equilibrium " = 500 - p + p+ p = 500 + p" mm"`
`500 + p = 700" (Given) " or p= 200 " mm"`
Hence , at equilibrium `p _(AB_(2)) = 500 - 200 = 300 " mm" , 200 " mm ", p_(B) = 200 mm `
`:. K_(p) = (p_(AB) XX p_(B))/p_(AB_(2)) = (200 xx 200)/300 = 133*3MM`
Note. With RESPECT to standard state pressure of 1 bar , i.e., 0*987 atm , i.e., 750 mm, `K_(p) = (133*3)/750=0*178.`

AB , A_(2) and B_(2) are diatomic molecules, if the bond enthalpies of A_(2) , AB and B_(2) are in the ratio of 1:1:0.5 and the enthaly of formation of AB from A_(2) gives AO and DeltaH_(c)=-1200KJ mol^(-1) . Bond energy of (O=O) bond is 500KJ mol^(-1) . What is the bond enthalpy of (A-O) bond ?

Answer»

`400KJmol-1`
`1650KJmol-1`
`1200KJmol-1`
`200KJmol-1`

SOLUTION :Bond enthalpy `(BE)` of `A_(2)=x,AB=x` and `B_(2)=(x)/(2)`
`(1)/(2)A_(2)+(1)/(2)B_(2)rarrAB-100KJ//mol^(-1)` ...(i)
`(1)/(2)A_(2)+(1)/(2)O_(2)rarrAO-1200KJ//mol` (given)
`A_(2)+O_(2)rarr2AO-2400KJ//mol` ...(ii)
`O=Orarr500KJ//mol`
From eq. (i)
`(1)/(2)B.E._(A_(2))+(1)/(2)B.E._(B_(2))-B.E._(AB)=-100`
`(1)/(2)x+(x)/(4)-x=-100`
`-(x)/(4)=-100`
`x=400(kJ)/(mol)`
Now from eq (ii)
`B.E._(A_2)+B.E._(O_2)-2B.E._(AO)=-2400`
`x+(+500)-2B.E._(AO)=-2400`
`400+500-2B.E._(AO)=-2400`
`-B.E._(AO)=-3300`
`B.E._(A-O)=1650(kJ)//(mol)`

aA+bB hArr cC + dD here A,B, C , D are in gaseous phase. Derive the relation between K_p and K_c.

Answer»

SOLUTION :General reaction, `aA_((g)) + bB_((g)) hArr cC_((g)) +dD_((g))`
`K_c=([C]^C [D]^d)/([A]^a[B]^b)`
Here , concentration of component in [ ] is in mol `L^(-1)` .
If partial pressure of GAS A,B,C,D is `p_A, p_B,p_C` and `p_D` at equilibrium , so
Equilibrium constant = `K_p` and `K_p =((p_C^c)(p_D^d))/((p_A^a )(p_B^b))`
but p=cRT So,
`p_C^c=([C]RT)^c =[C]^c (RT)^c`
`p_D^d = ([D]RT)^d =[D]^c (RT)^d`
`p_A^a =([A]RT)^a = [A]^c (RT)^a`
`p_B^b=([B]RT)^b=[B]^b(RT)^b`
`THEREFORE K_p=([C]^c (RT)^c [D]^d (RT)^d)/([A]^a (RT)^a [B]^b (RT)^b)`
`=([C]^c [D]^d)/([A]^a[B])(RT)^((c+d)-(a+b))`
`therefore K_p = K_c(RT)^(DELTAN)`....(Eq.-i)
where , `Deltan`=(c+d)-(a-b)
`Deltan`=(Addition of coefficient of gases mole of products )- (Addition of coefficient of gases mole of reactant )
For equilibrium equation , `(n_p-n_r)=(c+d)-(a+b)`

A5% solution (by mass) of cane sugar in water has freezing point of 271 K. Calculatge the freezing point of 5% glucose in water if freezing point of pure water is 273.15K

Answer»

Solution :Molar MASS of cane sugar
`C_(12) H _(22) O _(11) = 342 g MOL ^(-1)`
Molality of sugar `= (5 xx 100)/( 342 xx 100) = 0.146`
`Delta T_(F)` for sugar solution `=273.15 - 271=2.15^(@)`
`Delta T_(f) = K_(f) xxm`
`K _(f) = (2.15)/(0.146)`
Molality of glucose solution `= (5)/(180) xx (1000)/(100) = 0.278 =4.09^(@)K`
`therefore` Freezing point of glucose solution `=273.15-4.09 =269.06K`
