When a mixture of NaBr and NaCl is separately digested with H_2SO_4 all the halogens are expelled and Na_2SO_4 is formed quantitatively with a particular mixture, it was found that the weight of Na_2SO_4 obtained was precisely the same as the weight of NaBr+NaCl mixture taken. Calculate the ratio of the weight of NaCl and NaBr in the mixture.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Let the weight of `NaCl` be x g and the weight of NABR be y g. ,brgt We have to CALCULATE `(x)/(y)`
`2NaCl-=Na_2SO_4`
`2xx58.5g of NaCl-=142g of Na_2SO_4`
`x g of NaCl-=(142)/(2xx58.4)XX x g of Na_2SO_4`
`2NaBr-=Na_2SO_4`
`2xx103g of NaBr-=142 g of Na_2SO_4`
`y g of NaBr-=(142)/(2xx103)xx x g of Na_2SO_4`
`therefore(142X)/(2xx58.5)+(142x)/(2xx103)=x+y`
`1.21x-x=y-0.69y`
`0.21x=0.31y`
`(x)/(y)=(0.31)/(0.21)=1.475`
The ratio of weights of `NaCl:NaBr` is `1.476:1`

What is the maximum concentration of equimolar solutions of ferrous sulphate and sodium sulphide so that when mixed in equal volumes , there is no precipitation of iron sulphide ?(For iron sulphide , K_(sp)=6.3xx10^(-18) )

Answer»

Solution :(i)Concentrationin x M Ferrous sulphate solution :
`{:(FeSO_4 to , Fe^(2+) +,SO_4^(2-)),(x,xM,xM):}`
(ii) Concentration in x M sodium sulphide :
`{:(Na_2S to , 2Na_((AQ))^(+)+,SO_(4(aq))^(2-)),(x,"2X M","x M"):}`
FeS is form by same concentration of solution(i) and (ii) in it.
`[Fe^(2+)]=x/2 , [S^(2-]=x/2`
`{:(FeS_((s))hArr , Fe^(2+) +, S^(2-)),(,x/2M,x/2M):}`
`therefore K_(sp) (FeS)=6.3xx10^(-18)=(x/2)(x/2)`
`therefore x^2=4xx6.3xx10^(-18) = 25.2xx10^(-18)`
so `x=sqrt(25.2xx10^(-18))=5.02xx10^(-9)` M
so , concentration `x=[Na_2S]=[FeSO_4]`
`=5.02xx10^(-9)` M

You have a mixture of three liquids A, B and C. There is a large difference in the boiling points of A and rest of the two liquids i.e., B and C. Boiling point of liquids B and C are quite close. Liquid A boils at a higher temperature than B and C and boiling point of B is lower than C. How will you separate the components of the mixture. Draw a diagram showing set up the apparatus for the process.

Answer»

Solution :Since the boiling point of liquid A is MUCH higher than those of liquids B and C WHOSE boiling points are quite close, therefore, separate liquid A by simple distillation USING the apparatus shown in Fig. Since the boiling points of liquids B and C are quite close but are much lower than that of liquid A, therefore, mixture of liquids B and C will distill together LEAVING behind liquid A. On further heating liquid A will distil over.
Now place the mixture of liquids B and C in a flask fitted with a fractionating column as shown in Fig. Since the b.p. of liquid B is lower than that of liquid C, therefore, on FRACTIONAL distillation, first liquid B will distill over andthen liquid C.

The sinle quantum number by Neil.s Bohr and the appearance of several spectral lines in a particular series of Hspectrum, suggest that there more than one quantum to explain all the quantized properties of an electron in a particular energy level inside the atom. If fact when the properties of the electron is transformed from Cartesian co-ordinate to polar co-ordinates then it becomes the function of r, theta and phi suggesting three independet quantum numbers. In addition to this a fourth quantum number is required to consider the spinning behaviour of an electron. The principal quantum number n suggest the orbit number in which electron revolves, Azimuthal quantum number 1 suggest the shape of orbitals, magnetic quantum number m, gives orientation of orbital in presence of external magnetic field, while spin quantum number s, gives direction of an electron about its own axis n != 0 values of "1" ranges in between 0 to (n-1), while m depends upon 1. Total number values of m = 21+1, and "m" ranges in between -1 to +1 including 0. For each electron spin will be +-(1)/(2) The two unpaired electron present in C-atom are different w.r.t their

Which of the following statement is/are correct

Answer»

The weight of `CaCO_(3)` in the ORIGINAL MIXTURE is `0.5 g`.
The weight of calcium in the original mixture is `0.2 g`
The weight percent of calcium in the original mixture is 40% `Ca`
The weight percent of `Ca` in the original mixture is 20% `Ca`

SOLUTION :a. Weight of `CaCO_(3) = (0.22 g CO_(2))`
`((1 "MOL" CO_(2))/(44 g CO_(2)))((1 "mol" CaCO_(3))/("mol"CO_(2)))`
`((100 g CaCO_(3))/("mol" CaCO_(3)))`
`= (0.22 xx 100)/(44) = 0.5 g CaCO_(3)`
b. Moles of `CaCO_(3)=` moles of `Ca`
`= ((0.22)/(44)) = 0.005 "mol"`
Weight of `Ca = 0.005 xx 40 = 0.2 g Ca`
d. % of `Ca = (0.2)/(1.0) xx 100 = 20% Ca` ltbgt Hence, (c ) wrong.
