1.

The reaction CO(g) +3H_(2)(g) hArr CH_(4)(g)+H_(2)O(g) is at equilibrium at 1300 K in a 1K flask. It also contain 0.30 mol of CO, 0.10 mol of H_2 and 0.02 mol of H_2O and unknown amount of CH_(4) in the flask. Determine the cocentration of CH_(4) in the mixture . The equilbrium constant, K_C for the reaction at the given temperature is 3.90.

Answer»

Solution :`CO(G)+ 3H_(2)(g) HARR CH_(4) (g) +H_(2)O(g)`
`K_(c)=([CH_4]xx[H_2O])/([CO] xx [H_2]^3)or 3.90 = ([CH_4]xx[0.02])/([0.30] xx[0.1]^3)`
`[CH_4] = ((3.9)xx(0.30) xx (0.001))/((0.0.2 ))=5.85 xx 10^(-2) M`
2.

The reaction Cl_(2(g))+2OH_((aq))^(-)toClO_((aq))^(-)+Cl_((aq))^(-)+H_(2)O_((l)) represents the process of bleaching. Identify and name the species that bleaches the substances due to its oxidising action.

Answer»

Solution :`overset(0)(Cl_(2(g)))+overset(-2)(2O)overset(+1)(H_((AQ))^(-))tooverset(+1)(ClO_((aq))^(-))+overset(-1)(Cl_((aq))^(-))+H_(2)O_((l))`
In the given reaction oxidation number of Cl is 0 to 1. and 0 to -1.
So Cl is act as oxidising agent and reducing agnet. So this reaction is disproportionation reaction. So, `CLO^(-)` is dissociate.
3.

The reaction CI_(2)(g)+2OH^(-)(aq)rarrCIO^(-)(aq)+CI^(-)(aq)+H_(2)O(l) represents the process of bleaching identify and name the species that bleaches the substaces to its oxidisng action

Answer»

SOLUTION :Writing the O.N of each element above its symbol we have
`CI_(2)(g)+2OH^(-)(AQ)rarrCIO^(-)+CI^(-)(q)+H_(2)O^(-)(L)`
in this reaction O.N of CI increase from 0 in `CI_(2)` to + 1 in `CIO^(-)` therefore is both oxidised to `CIO^(-)`and reduced to `CI^(-)` since `CI^(-)` ion cannot ACT as an oxdising agent therefore `CI_(2)` bleaches substances dueto to oxidising ACTION of `CIO^(-)` ion
4.

The reaction CI_2(g) + 2OH^(-) (aq) rarrCIO^(-) (aq)+ CI^(-) (aq) + H_2O(l)represents the process of bleaching . Identify and name the species that bleaches . the substances due to oxidising action .

Answer»

SOLUTION :`overset(0)(Cl_2(G))+overset(-2+1)(2OH^(-))(aq)rarroverset(+1-2)("Cl O"^(-))(aq)+overset(-1)(Cl^(-))(aq)+overset(+1-2)(H_2O)(l)`
In this reaction , O.N.of CI increases from O (in `Cl_2` ) to + 2 (in `CLO^(-)`) and decreases to - 1 (in `Cl^(-)`)Therefore , `CI^(-)`is both oxidised to `CIO^(-)`and reduced to CI. SINCE `CI^(-)` ION cannot act an oxidising agent ( because it cannot decrease its O.N. lower than - 1 ), therefore , `CI^-`bleaches substances due to oxidising action of hypochlorite, `CIO^(-)`,ion.

The reaction An+CuSO_4toZnSO_4 goes completely to the right. In an experiment, 10.0 g of Zn was added to 200 " mL of " CuSO_4 solution. After all the Cu was precipitated, it was found that not all the Zn had dissolved. After filtration, the total weight of the solid at the end of the reaction was 9.810 g. Calculate. (a). The weight of copper deposited and, (b). Molarity of CuSO_4 in the original solution.

Answer»

Solution :LET the WEIGHT of COPPER deposited be x g .
Weight of usused `Zn=9.81-x g`
and the weight of Zn USED`=10-(9.81-x)=0.19+x g`
`Zn+CuSO_4toZnSO_4+Cu`
`therefore(0.19+x)g of Zn=(63.5(0.19+x))/(65.4)g of Cu`
`therefore(63.5(0.19+x))/(65.4)=x`
`x=0.185+0.97x=6.37g`
`Mkk=(W_2xx100)/(Mw_2xx"volume of solution in ML")`
`=(6.37xx1000)/(6.35xx200)=0.501`

The reaction 2NO_((2)) g hArr N_2O_4(g) DeltaH= negative occurring in a closed vessel attains equilibrium. If this vessel is kept in ice then which of the following change will be observed ?

Answer»

Equilibrium state will remain constant.
Increase in brown colour intensity in vessel.
The DECREASE in the concentration of product.
Decrease in brown colour intensity in vessel.

Solution :Equilibrium reaction : `underset"Brown"(2NO_(2(g))) hArr underset"Colourless"(N_2O_(4(g))) DeltaH`=-ve
For this reaction `DeltaH=(-) ve`
`therefore` This is a ENDOTHERMIC reaction.
When the vessel is kept in ice, its temperature decreases. So, according to Le-chatelier.s principal to minimise the effect of decrease temp. The temp. should be increase and hence the reaction take place in forward direction and HEAT is release and new equilibrium is established.
When the new equilibrium is established then,
(1) The amount of product `N_2O_4` will increases
(II) The amount of reactant `NO_2` (brown) will decreases.
i.e. Intensity of brown colour decreases.

The reactant which is entirely consumend in reaction is known as limiting reagent. In the reaction2 A + 4 B to 3C + 4D , when 5 moles of A react with 6moles of B , then(i)Which is the limiting reagent(ii)Calculate the amount of Cformed.

Answer»


Answer :` 2A + 4B to 3C + 4D `
According to the above equation, 2 mols of 'A' require 4 mols of 'B' for the reaction.
Hence, for 5 mols of 'A' , the MOLES of 'B' required
` 5"MOL of " A xx (4 " mol of "B)/(2 "mol of "A)`
= 10 mol B
Butwe haveonly 6 mols of 'B' hence ,'B' is the limiting reagent . So amount of 'C' formedis detemined by amount of 'B'.
Since 4 mols of 'B' GIVE 3 mols of 'C' . Hence 6 mols of 'B'will give
` 6 "mol of" B xx (3 "mol of"C)/(4 "mol of "B)= 4 . 5 ` mol of C .
33.

The reactant which is entirely consumed in reaction is known as limiting reagent, in the reaction 2 A + 4 B rarr 3 C + 4D, when 5 moles of A react with 6 moles of B, then (i) which is the limiting reagent ? (ii) calculate the amount of C formed ? 2A + 4 B rarr 3 C + 4D

Answer»

Solution :ACCORDING to the GIVEN reaction, 2 moles of A react with 4 moles of B hence, 5 moles of A will react with 10 moles of B (`(5xx4)/(2)=10` moles)
(i) In the first case reactant B is limiting reagent as it will CONSUME first in reaction because we have only 6 moles of B.
(ii) Limiting reagent decide the amount of product produced. According to the reaction, 4 moles of B produces 3 moles of C
`:.` 6 moles of B willproduce `=(3xx6)/(4) = 4.5` moles of C.
Note : Limiting reagent limits the amount of product formed because it is present in lesser amount and gets consumed first.
