The fraction of the total volume occupied by the atoms present in a simple cube is

Answer»

`PI/4`
`pi/6`
`pi/(3sqrt2)`
`pi/(4sqrt2)`

Solution :In a simple CUBE, no. of atoms/unit cell
` = 8 xx 1/8 =1 `
Volume of the atom = ` 4/3 pi r^(3)`
volume of the cube = ` a^(3) = ( 2r)^(3) = 8 r^(3)`
Fraction occupied = `( 4/3 pi r^(3))/( 8 r^(3) ) = pi/6`
6.

The fraction of thetotal volume occupied by the atoms present in a simple cube is

Answer»

`pi//4`
`pi//6`
`pi/3sqrt2`
pi/4sqrt2`

Solution :In a simple cube, NUMBER of atoms/unit cell
`=8times 1/8=1`
`" VOLUME of the cube"=4//3pir^(3)`
`" Volumeof the cube" = a^(3)=(2r)^(3) = 8 r^(3)(therefore a =2r)`
`therefore "FRACTION occupied" = (4//3timespir^(3))/(8r^(3)) = pi/6`

The degree of ionizationof a 0.1 M bromoacetic acid solution is 0.132. Calculate the pH of the solution and the pK_a of bromoacetic acid.

Answer»

Solution :Calculation of `[H^+]` of 0.1 M bromoacetic acid `(CH_2BrCOOH)`:
Suppose the ionization degree of this acid = `ALPHA`
`THEREFORE` Ionised acid = `Calpha = 0.1 alpha`
So, at equilibrium acid = `(0.1-0.1alpha)=0.1 (1-alpha)`
But VALUE of `alpha` is very LESS so, `0.1 (1-alpha) =0.1 (1) = 0.1`
At equilibrium , `[H^+] = [CH_2BrCOO^-]=C alpha= 0.1 alpha`
The ionic equilibrium is under :
`{:(,CH_2BrCOOH_((aq)) + H_2O HARR, H_3O_((aq))^(+) + , CH_2BrCOO_((aq))^(-)),("Initial M:",0.1 , 0.0 M, 0.0 M),("Change in equilibrium :",-0.1 alpha ,+0.1 alpha,+0.1 alpha),("Concentration at M equilibrium",overset(0.1 (1-alpha)M)(approx0.1),0.1alpha,0.1 alpha):}`
`K_a=([H_3O^+][CH_2BrCOO^-])/([CH_2BrCOOH])=0.132`
`therefore ((0.1alpha)(0.1alpha))/0.1 = 0.132`
`therefore alpha^2= 0.132/0.1 = 0.0132`
`therefore alpha` = 0.1149
So, `[H^+]= Calpha = 0.1xx0.1149`=0.01149 M
Calculation of pH:
pH=-log `[H^+]`=-log (0.01149)=1.9397 = 1.94
Calculation of `pK_a` :
`pK_a=-log K_a=-log (0.132)-0.8794`
47.

The degree of ionisation of 0.1 M bromoacetic acid solution is 0.132. Calculate the pH of the solution and the pKa of bromoacetic acid.

Answer»

SOLUTION :`K_a=calpha^2=0.1xx0.132xx0.132=1.74xx10^-3`
`THEREFORE pKa=-logK_a=-log(1.74xx10^-3)=3-0.2405=2.76`
`[H^+]=calpha=0.1xx0.132=1.32xx10^-2M`
`therefore pH=-log(1.32xx10^-2)=2-0.1205=1.88`

The degree of hardness of a given sample of hard water is 40 ppm. If the entire hardness in due to MgSO_(4) , how much of MgSO_(4) is present per kg of water ?

Answer»

Solution :Degree of HARDNESS of `H_(2)O` is 40 ppm, i.e., `10^(6)` g of water contain `CaCO_(3)`=40 g
Since 1 MOLE of `CaCO_(3)-=1 `mole of `MgSO_(4)`
`therefore 100 ` g of `CaCO_(3)-=120` g of `MgSO_(4)`
`therefore10^(6)` g of water contain `MgSO_(4)=(40xx120)/(100)=48 g`
or `10^(3)` g of water contain `MgSO_(4)=(48xx10^(3))/(10^(6))xx10^(3) ` MG
or 1 kg of water will contain `MgSO_(4)=48` mg
