If the salt M_(2)X, QY_(2) and PZ_(3) have the same solubilities, their K_(sp) values are related as

Answer»

`K_(sp) (M_(2)X) = K_(sp) (Q Y_(2)) lt K_(sp) (PZ_(3))`
`K_(sp) (M_(2)X) gt K_(sp) (Q Y_(2)) = K_(sp) (PZ_(3))`
`K_(sp) (M_(2)X) lt K_(sp) (Q Y_(2)) =K_(sp) (PZ_(3))`
`K_(sp) (M_(2)X) gtK_(sp) (Q Y_(2)) gtK_(sp) (PZ_(3))`

Solution :`M_(2)X and QY_(2)` are SALTS of the TYPE `A_(2)B` for which `K_(sp) = 4 S^(3)`. If S is same, `K_(sp)` will be equal.
For `PZ_(3) , K_(sp) = S(3S)^(3)=27S^(4), ` i.e., much higher.
Hence, (a) is the correct OPTION.

If the radius of the first Bohr orbit is x, then de- Broglie wavelength of electron in 3rd orbit is nearly

Answer»

3x
9x
`2pi x`
`6pi x`

Solution :`r_(N) = a_(0) (n^(2))/(Z)`. But `mvr_(n) = (NH)/(2pi)`
`:. mv ((a_(0) n^(2))/(Z)) = (nh)/(2pi)`
For 3rd orbit, n = 3 and for hydrogen, Z = 1
`a_(0) = x` (Given, BOHR radius of H-atom)
Hence, `mv(x xx 3^(2))/(1) = (3h)/(2pi) or mv = (h)/(6pi x)`
`LAMDA = (h)/(mv) = (h)/(h//6pi x_ 6pi x`

If the position of the electron is measured within an accuracy of +- 0.002nm, calculate the uncertainty in the momentum of the electron. Suppose the momentum of the electron is h//(4pi xx 0.05)nm, is there any problem in defining this value?

Answer»

Solution :`Delta x = 0.002 nm = 2 xx 10^(-3) nm = 2 xx 10^(-12) m`
`Delta x xx Delta p = (h)/(4pi) " " :. Delta p = (h)/(4pi Delta x) = (6.626 xx 10^(-34) kg m^(2) s^(-1))/(4 xx 3.14 xx (2 xx 10^(-12) m)) = 2.638 xx 10^(-23) kg m s^(-1)`
Actual momentum `= (h)/(4pi xx 0.05 nm) = (h)/(4pi xx 5 xx 10^(-10)m) = (6.626 xx 10^(-34) kg m^(2) s^(-1))/(4 xx 3.14 xx 5 xx 10^(-11) m)`
it cannot be DEFINED as the actual magnitude of the momentum is smaller than the UNCERTAINTY.

If the positionof theelectronis measuredwithinan accuracyof +0.002nmcalculatetheuncertaintyin themomentumoftheelectronSupposethe momentumof the electronish// 4pi_(m) xx 0.05 nmis there any problemin definingthisvalue ?

Answer»

<P>

Solution :Uncertaintyin VELOCITY`(DELTA p ) `
Accordingto Heisenberg
`DELTAP = (h)/(4pi Delta x)`
`=(6.626 xx 10^(34) js )/( (4xx 3.1428)(0.002 xx 10^(9) m))`
`Delta p= 2.63854xx 10^(23) kgms^(-1)`
Realmomentumof electron= `(h)/(4pi xx 0.05 nm)`
In THISWAY realmomentum `1.054 xx 10^(24) ` is less thancalculatedvalue ofuncertainty`2.64 xx 10^(23)` So the momentumof electroncan notbedefineproperly.

Total INCREASES is O.N of S for two molecules of `Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)=4xx2.5-2[2(+2)=2`
`therefore` totoal INCREAE in O.N of S for two molecules of `Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)` =1
`therefore` Eq mass =`M_(1)//1=M_(1)`
Now `I_(2)rarr2I`
total decrease is O.N PER molecule of `I_(2)=0-2(-1)=2`
`therefore` Eq mass of `I_(2)=M_(2)//2`

Answer»

Solution :`"KE of ELECTRON, "1//2mv^(2)=4.55xx10^(-25)J`.
`"Mass of electron, m"=9.1xx10^(-31)KG`
`V^(2)=(2xxKE)/(m)=(2xx4.55xx10^(-25)J)/(9.1xx10^(-31)kg)RARR v^(2)=10^(6)m^(2)s^(-2)`
`"Velocity of electron, v"=SQRT(10^(6))=10^(3)ms^(-1)`
`therefore"Wave length, "lambda=(6.625xx10^(-34)Lgm^(2)s^(-1))/(9.1xx10^(-31)kgxx10^(3)ms^(-1))`
`therefore"Wave length of electron "=lambda=728nm.`
