Write the expression for the equilibrium constant, K_c for each of the following reactions (1)2NOCl_((g)) hArr 2NO_((g)) + Cl_(2(g)) (2) 2Cu(NO_3)_(2(s))hArr 2CuO_((s)) + 4NO_(2(g)) + O_(2(g)) (3)CH_3COOC_2H_(5(aq)) + H_2O_((l)) hArr CH_3COOH_((aq)) + C_2H_5OH_((aq)) (4) Fe_((aq))^(3+) + 3OH_((aq))^(-) hArr Fe(OH)_(3(s)) (5)I_(2(s)) + 5F_(2(s)) hArr 2IF_(5(g))

Answer»

Solution :(1)`K_c=([NO_((g))]^2[Cl_(2(g))])/([NOCl_((g))]^2)`
(2)`K_c=([CuO_((s))]^2[NO_(2(g))]^4 [O_(2(g))])/([Cu(NO_3)_(2(s))]^2)`
In this equilibrium CUO and `Cu(NO_3)_2` are solid. So, at equilibrium its CONCENTRATION are not changed and constants. So, ignore in expression, `K_c=[NO_(2(g))]^4 [O_(2(g))]`
(3)`K_c=([CH_3COOH_((aq))][C_2H_5OH_((aq))])/([CH_3COOC_2H_(5_(aq))][H_2O_((l))])`
Here , `H_2O` is liquid its concentration is constant during REACTION, so ignore it.
`K_c=([CH_3COOH_((aq))][C_2H_5OH_((aq))])/([CH_3COOC_2H_(5(aq))])`
(4)`K_c=([FE(OH)_(3(s))])/([Fe_((aq))^(3+) ][OH_((aq))^(-)]^3)`
In this equilibrium `Fe(OH)_3` is solid and amount of solid i.e. its concentration is equal to density. Density is constant at temperature, so its not affect the equilibrium constant. `(Fe(OH)_(3(s)))` is ignore
`therefore K_c=1/([Fe^(3+)][OH^-]^3)`
(5)`K_c` for the product `IF_5` of the reaction of `I_(2(s))` and `F_(2(g))` is ,
`K_c=([IF_(5(g))]^2)/([I_(2(s))] [F_(2(g))]^5)`
`I_(2(s))` is solid so its concentration remain constant so it is ignore in expression.
`therefore K_c=([IF_(5(g))]^2)/([F_(2(g))]^5)`

SOLUTION :1 mole `CO_(2)=44g`
`6.022xx10^(23)` molecule `= 44 g CO_(2)`
`:.` 1 molecule of `CO_(2)=(?)`

Write the half cell reaction and the overall cells reaction for the electrochemical cell : Zn|Zn^(2+)(1.0M)||Pb^(2+)(1.0M)|Pb Calculate the standard e.m.f for the cell if standard electrode potentials (reduction ) for Pb^(2+)|Pb and Zn^(2+)|Zn electrodes are -0.126 V and -0.763 V respectively.

Answer»

Solution :Zn ELECTRODE acts as anode while Pb electrode acts as cathode and , therefore , oxidation OCCURS at zinc electrode and REDUCTION occurs at lead electrode . The half cell reactions are :
Oxidation half reactions :
`Zn(s) rarr Zn^(2+)(aq)+2e^(-)`
Reduction half reaction :
`Pb^(2+)(aq) +2e^(-) rarr Pb(s)`
Overall cell reaction
`Zn(s) +Pb^(2+)(aq) rarrZn^(2+) (aq) +Pb(s)`
E.M.F = `E_R^@ - E_L^@`
`=-0.126-(-0.763)`
= 0.637 V.
Note . The EMF of the cell can also simply be calculated as :
`E_("cell")^@=E_R^@-E_L^@`
If the value of `E_("cell")^@ ` is positive , then the cell is correctly REPRESENTED , i.e. , oxidation occurs at left electrode (anode) and reduction occurs at the right electrode (cathode). On the other hand , if the value of `E_("cell")^@` comes out to be negative , then the cells is wrongly represented . Its order is reversed to get positive value for `E_("cell")^@`.

What volume of 6M HCl and 2M HCl should be mixed to get one litre of 3M HCl?

Answer»

Solution :Suppose the volume of 6M HCl required to OBTAIN 1L of 3M HCl = XL
Volume of 2M HCl required = (1-x)L
Applying the molarity equation
`M_1 V_1 + M_2V_2 = M_3V_3 `
