When100mL of 1.0 M HCl was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a temerature increase of 0.7^(@)C was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt. 1 ) . Because the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is a constant (-57.0 kJ "mol"^(-1)), the experiment could be used to measure the calorimeter constant. Ina second experiment (Expt. 2), 100 mL of 2.0 M acetic acid (K_(a)=2.0xx10^(-5)) was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH . (under identical conditions of Expt.1) where hte temperature rise of 5.6^(@)C was measured. (Consider heat capacity of all solutions as 4.2 Jg^(-1) K^(-1) and density of all solutions as 1.0 m mL^(-1)) The pH of the solution after Expt. 2 is

Answer»

2.8
4.7
`5.0`
`7.0`

Solution :`CH_(3)CO OH ` present in 100 mL of 2.0 M thesolution = 0.2 MOLE
NAOH present in 100 mL of 1.0 M solution = 0.1 mole
0.1 mole of NaOH NEUTRALIZES 0.1 mole of NaOH to form 0.1 mole of `CH_(3)CO ON a`
`:. ` In the final solution, `CH_(3)CO OH` = 0.1 mole,
`CH_(3)CO ONa`= 0.1 mole, i.e., it is a buffer solution
`pH = pK_(a) + log. (["Salt"])/(["Acid"])=-log(2XX10^(-5))+log.(0.1)/(0.1)`
`=-log(2xx10^(-5))`
`=5-0.301=4.699~= 4.7`

Answer»

`1.0`
`10.0`
`24.5`
`51.4`

Solution :MOLES of HCl orNaOH neutralized (n)
`=100xx1` mmol = 0.1 mole
Heat evolved = 0.1 mole `xx` 57.0 kJ `"mol"^(-1)`
= 5.7 kJ = 5700 J
Heat used to increase temperature of the solution (200 mL ) by `5.7^(@)`
`=200 xx 4.2 xx 5.7`
(SP. heat capacity of solution `= 4.2 JK^(-1)g^(-1)`)
= 4788 J
`:.` Heat used to increase the temperature of the calorimeter
`=5700-4788 J = 912 J`
ms `Delta t = 912`
or ms `(5.7) = 912`
or ms (calorimeter constant ) `= (912)/(5.7) = 160 J//^(@)C`
In EXPT. 2, heat evolved by neutralization of `CH_(3)CO OH` with NaOH
`{:(=,200xx4.2xx5.6,+,160xx5.6),(,("Absorbed by solution"),,("Absorbed by calorimeter")):}`
`= 4704+896 J = 5600 J`
`CH_(3)CO OH` present in 100 mL of 2.0 M solution
`=100xx2 ` mmol = 0.2 mol
NaOH present in 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH
`=100xx1` mmol = 0.1 mol
`:. CH_(3)CO OH` neutralized by NaOH = 0.1 mol
Thus, heat evolved by neutralisation of 0.1 mol of `CH_(3)CO OH = 5600 J`
`:.` Heat used in the dissociation of 0.1 mol of
`CH_(3)CO OH=5700-5600J = 100 J `
`:.` Enthalpy of dissociation of acetic acid per mole = 1000 J = 1 kJ

What is the mass of glucose (C_(6) H_(12) O _(6)) in it one litre solution which is isotonic with 6 gL ^(-1) of urea (NH_(2) CONH_(2)) ?

Answer»

Solution :Osmotic PRESSURE of urea solution `(pi_(1)) = CRT`
`= (W_(2))/(M _(2) V) RT = (6)/( 60 XX 1) xx RT`
Osmotic pressure of glucose solution
`(pi _(2)) = (W_(2))/(180 xx 1) xx RT`
For isotonic solution, `pi _(1) = pi_(2)`
`(6)/(60) RT= (W_(2))/(180) RT implies W_(2) = (6)/(60) xx 180`
`W_(2) = 18g`
