The chemical formula of the chelating agent Versence is C_(2) H_(4) N_(2) (C_(2) H_(2) O_(2) Na) If each mol of this compound could bind 1 mol of Ca^(2+), what would be the rating of pure Versene, expressed as mg CaCO_(3) bound per g. Of chealting agent? Ca^(2+) is expressed in terms in terms of amount of CaCO_(3) it could form. [Mw "of vesene" = 380, Mw "of" CaCO_(3) = 100 g mol^(-1)]

Answer»

SOLUTION :For each mol of compound:
WEIGHT of `CaCO_(3) = (1 mol Ca^(2+)) ((1 mol CaCO_(3))/(mol Ca^(2+)))`
`((100 g CaCO_(3))/(mol CaCO_(3))) ((10^(3) mg)/(g))`
`= (1 xx 1 xx 100 xx 10^(3))/(1) = 1.0 xx 10^(5)`
Weight of `CaCO_(3)//g` of versene `= (1.0 xx 10^(5) mg CaCO_(3))/(380 g "versene")`
`= 263 mg`

The chemical behaviour of dihydrogen is determined, to a large extent, by bond dissociation enthalpy. The H-H bond dissociation enthalpy is the highest for a single bond between two atoms of any element. What inferences would you draw from this fact? It is because of this factor that the dissociation of dihydrogen into its atoms is only 0.081% around 2000K which increases to 95.5% at 5000K. Also, it is relatively inert at room temperature due to the high H-H bond enthalpy. Thus the atomic hydrogen is produced at a high temperature in an electric arc or under ultraviolet radiations. Since its orbital is incomplete with Is' electronic configuration, it does combine with almost all the elements. Which of the following bond dissociation enthalpies is the highest for a single bond between two atoms of any element ?

Answer»

H-H
F-F
C-C

A compound on analysis gave the following percentage composition : Na= 14.31%, S = 9.97%, H = 6.22%, O = 69.50%. Calculate the molecular formula of the compound on the assumption that all the hydrogen in the compound is present in combination with oxygen as water of crystallisation. Molecular mass of the compound is 322. (At. wt. of Na = 23, S = 32, H = 1, O = 16)

Answer»

Solution :Calculation of EMPIRICAL formula:

`therefore` The empirical formula of the given compound is `Na_(2)SH_(20)O_(14)`.
Calculation of MOLECULAR formula : Empirical formula MASS = `(2 xx 22.99) + 32.06 + (20 xx 1.008) + (14 xx 16.0) = 322.2`
Molecular mass (given) = 322
`n=("Molecular mass")/("Empirical formula mass")`
`=322/(322.2) = 0.99938=1`
`therefore` Molecular formula = `1 xx` Empirical formula
`=1 xx Na_(2)SH_(20)O_(14)`
`=Na_(2)SH_(20)O_(14)`
Since, as per question, all the 20 hydrogen atoms in COMBINATION with oxygen are present as water of crystallisation , one molecule of the given compound must contain 10 molecules of `H_2O`. This is because 20 atoms of hydrogen present in the molecular formula obtained above will combine with 10 atoms of oxygen to FORM 10 molecules of water. Now, only 14 - 10 = 4 atoms of oxygen are left. They must be present in the main molecule.
Hence, the molecular formula of the given compound can be written as `Na_(2)SO_(4).10H_(2)O`

The charge/size ratio of a cation determines its polarizing power. Which one of the following sequences represents the increasing order of the polarizing power of the cationic species, K^(+), Ca^(2+), Mg^(2+), Be^(2+)?

Answer»

`CA^(2+) lt Mg^(2+ ) lt Be^(2+ ) lt K^(+)`
`Mg^(2+ ) lt Be^(2+) lt K^(+) lt Ca^(2+)`
`Be^(2+ ) lt K^(+) lt Ca^(2+) lt Mg^(2+)`
`K^(+) ltCa^(2+) ltMg^(2+) ltBe^(2+)`

SOLUTION :`K^(+) ltCa^(2+) ltMg^(2+) ltBe^(2+)`
HIGH charge and small size of the CATIONS increases pol.arisation.
As the size of the given cations decreases as
`K^(+) gt Ca^(2+) gt Mg^(2+) gt Be^(2+)`
Hence, polarising power decreases as
