9.

Solubilityof solid solutein a liquidsolventincreases withincreasein ______.

Answer»

Solution :When the temperature is increased, the AVERAGE kinetic energy of the MOLECULES of the solute and the solvent increases. The INCREASE in the kinetic energy facilitates the solvent molecules to break the intermolecular attractive forces that KEEP the solute molecules together and hence the solubility increases.
10.

Solubility depends on the lattice energy of the solid and the hydration energy of the ions. Some lattice values for Group - II compounds are much lighter than the values for Group - I compounds, because of the effect of the increased charge on the ions in the Boron - Lande equation. Taking any one particular negative ion the lattice energy decreases as the size of the metal increases. The hydration energy also decreases as the metal ions become larger. For a substance to dissolve, the hydration energy must exceed thelattice energy The correct order of hydration energies is

Answer»

`Be^(2+)ltCa^(2+)ltCr^(2+)ltBa^(2+)`
`Be^(2+)ltSr^(2+)ltCa^(2+)ltBa^(2+)`
`Be^(2+)gtSr^(2+)gtCa^(2+)GTBA^(2+)`
`Be^(2+)gtCa^(2+)gtSr^(2+)gtBa^(2+)`

Solution :The order of hydration ENERGIES `Be^(+2) gt Ca^(+2)gt SR^(+2) gt Ba^(+2)`
The hydration energy depends on size of the ion, lesser the size higher will be the hydration energy

Solubilirty product constants (K_(sp)) of salts of types MX, MX_(2), and M_(3)X at temperature T are 4.0xx10^(-8), 3.2xx10^(-14), and salts of temperature T is in the order

Answer»

`MX_(2)gtM_(3)XgtMX`
`M_(3)XgtMX_(2)gtMX`
`MXgtM_(3)XgtMX_(2)`
`MXgtMX_(2)gtM_(3)X`

Solution :Let US assume that S is the SOLUBILITY.
`MX(s)hArr M^(+)underset(S)((aq.))+X^(-)underset(S)((aq.))`
`K_(sp)=C_(M^(+))C_(X^(-))=(S)(S)`
or `S=sqrt(K_(sp))=sqrt(4.0xx10^(-8))`
`=2xx10^(-4)M`
`MX_(2)(s)hArrM^(2+)underset(S)((aq.))+2X^(-)underset(2S)((aq.))`
`K_(sp)=C_(M^(2+))C_(X^(-))^(2)=(S)(2S)^(2)=4S^(3)`
or `S=((K_(sp))/(4))^(1//3)= ((3.2xx10^(-4))/(4))^(1//3)`
`=2xx10^(-5)M`
`M_(3)X(s)hArr underset(3S)(3M^(+)(aq.))+X^(3-)underset(S)((aq.))`
`K_(sp)=C_(M^(+))^(3)C_(X^(3-))`
`=(3S)^(3)(S)=27S^(4)`
or`S=((K_(sp))/(27))^(1//4) = ((2.7xx10^(-15))/(27))^(1//4)`
`=10^(-4)M`
Thus, solubility order is
`MXgt M_(3)XgtMX_(2)`

Solid AgNO_(3) is added to a solution which 0.1 M in Cl^(-) and 0.1 M in CrO_(4)^(2-). K_(sp) values for AgCl and Ag_(2)CrO_(4) are 1.7 xx 10^(-10) and 1.9 xx 10^(-12) respectively. The concentration of Cl^(-) when Ag_(2)CrO_(4) starts precitating will be

Answer»

`3.9 xx 10^(-5) M`
`2.9 xx 10^(-5) M`
`3.9 xx 10^(-3) M`
`1.9 xx 10^(-2) M`

SOLUTION :`:' K_(sp) (AgCl) = [AG^(+)][Cl^(-)]`
To precipitate `AgCl`,
`:. [Ag^(+)] = (1.7 xx 10^(-10))/(0.1) = 1.7 xx 10^(-9)`
`:' K_(sp) (Ag_(2)CrO_(4)) = [Ag^(+)]^(2)[CrO_(4)^(2-)]`
To precipitate `Ag_(2)CrO_(4)`
`:. [Ag^(+)] = SQRT((1.9 xx 10^(-12))/(0.1)) = 4.34 xx 10^(-6) M`
Since `[Ag^(+)]` required to precinpitate `AgCl` is less than that required to precipitate `Ag_(2)CrO_(4), AgCl` will precipitate first. Now since
`[Ag^(+)] = 4.34 xx 10^(-6)` when `Ag_(2)CrO_(4)` starts can be CALCULATED as
`K_(sp)[AgCl] = [Ag^(+)] [Cl^(-)]`
or `1.7 xx 10^(-10) = (4.34 xx 10^(-6))[Cl^(-)]`
or `[Cl^(-)] = 3.9 xx 10^(-5) M`.
