For testing the presence of sulphur by lead acetate test, the Lassaigne's extract is acidified with dilute acetic acid. Can we use dilute hydrochloric or sulphuric acid instead of acetic acid ? |
|
Answer» Solution :For testing sulphur, the Lassaigne's extract is acidified with acetic because LEAD acetate is soluble and does not INTERFERE with the test. However, it HCL or `H_(2)SO_(4)` is used, lead acetate with REACT with it forming while ppt. of `PbCl_(2)` or `PbSO_(4)` and, therefore, it will interfere with the test. `{:((CH_(3)COO)_(2)Pb,+,2HCl,rarr,2CH_(3)COOH,+,PbCl_(2)),("Lead acetate",,,,"Acetic acid",,"(While ppt.)"),((CH_(3)COO)_(2)Pb,+,H_(2)SO_(4),rarr,2CH_(3)COOH,+,PbSO_(4)),(,,,,,,"(While ppt.)"):}` |

For real gases the relation between p, V and T is given by van der Waals equation : (p+(an^(2))/(V^(2)))(V-nb)=nRT where 'a' and 'b' are van der Waals constants, 'nb' is approximately equal to the total volume of the molecules of a gas, 'a' is the measure of magnitude of intermolecular attraction. (i) Arrange the following gases in the increasing order of 'b'. Give reason. O_(2),CO_(2),H_(2),He (ii) Arrange the following gases in the decreasing order of magnitude of 'a'. Give reason. CH_(4),O_(2),H_(2) |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) As 'b' REPRESENTS molar volume occupied by the gas molecules, GREATER the size of the molecules, greater is the volume occupied by 1 mole of molecules. The size and hence the value of 'b' increase in the order : `H_(2) lt He lt O_(2) lt CO_(2)` (ii) As all the given molecules are non-polar, the magnitude of intermolecular attractions and hence the value of 'a' increase with the increase in numberof electrons in the MOLECULE, i.e., in the order : `CH_(4) gt O_(2) gt H_(2)` (Greater the number of electrons, greater is the size of electron cloud, greater is the polarisation of the molecule, greater is the attraction). |

For real gases the relation between p, V and T is given by van der Waals equation :(p+(an^(2))/(V^(2)))(V-nb)=nRTWhere .a. and .b. are vasn der Waals constants, .nb. is approximately equal to the total volume of the molecules of a gas. .a. is the measure of magnitude of intermolecular attraction.(i) Arrange the following gases in the increasing order of .b.. Give reason.O_(2), CO_(2), H_(2), He(ii) Arrange the following gases in the decreasing order of magnitude of .a.. Give reason.CH_(4), O_(2), H_(2) |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Molar volume occupied by the gas molecules size of the molecules and VAN der Waals. CONSTANT .b. shows the molar volume of the gas molecules. Hence, value of .b. increases as `H_(2)lt He lt O_(2)lt CO_(2)` (ii) van der Waals. constasnt .a. is the measure of magnitude of intermolecular attraction. As the magnitude of intermolecular attractions increases there is a increae in size of electron cloud in molecule. Thus, for the gases magnitude of .a. decreases as `CH_(4)GT O_(2)gt H_(2)` Greater the size of electron cloud, greater is he DISPERSION forces or London forces and higher is the polarisability of molecule. |

For oxidation of iron, 4Fe_((s)) + 3O_(2(g)) to 2Fe_(2) O_(3(s)) entropy change is -549.4 "JK"^(-1) "mol"^(-1) at 298 K. Inspite of negative entropy change of this reaction, why is the reaction spontaneous ? Delta_(r) H^( Theta ) for this reaction is 1648 xx 10^(3) "J mol"^(-1) |
|
Answer» Solution :One decides the spontaneity of a reaction by considering : `DeltaS_("total")=(DeltaS_("sys")+ DeltaS_("SURR")).` For calculating. `DeltaS_("surr")` we have to consider the heat absorbed by the surroundings which is equal to `- Delta_(r) H^( Theta )`. At temperature T, entropy change of the surroundings is `DeltaS _("surr") =-(Deltar H^( Theta ) )/( T) ("at constant pressure")` `=- ((-1648 xx 10^(3) "J mol"^(-1) ))/(298 K)= 5530 "kJ mol"^(-1)` Thus, total entropy change for this reaction `Delta_("total") = 5530 "JK"^(-1) "mol"^(-1) + (-549 .4 "JK mol"^(-1) )` `=4980.6 "JK mol"^(-1)` This SHOWS that the above reaction is spontaneous. |
