Under what conditions will CuSO_4.5H_2O be efflorescent at 25^(@)C? For the reaction CuSO_4.5H_2O_((s)) harr CuSO_4.3H_2O_((s))+2H_2O_((g)) K_p at 298K is 1086 xx 10^(-4) atm^2 and vapour pressure of water is 23.8 Torr.

Answer»

If relative HUMIDITY `LT` 33.3%, efflorescence takes place
If relative humidity `gt` 33.3%, efflorescence takes place
The salt does not act as efflorescent at `25^(@)C`
The salt effloreses if the vapour pressure of water vapour in atmosphere `lt` 7.92 mm.

Solution :`CuSO_(4).H_(2)O_((s)) harr CUSO_(4).3H_(2)O_((s))+2H_(2)O_((G))`
`K_(P)=P_(H_(2)O)^(2) implies P_(H_(2)O) = sqrt(K_(P))=7.92` mm
Relative humidity = `(P_(H_(2)O))/("vapour pressure of" H_(2)O)`
`=(7.92)/(23.8)=0.333`
% R.H=33.3
`Q lt K`, forward direction
The reaction will PROCEED only when vapour pressure of moisture in atmosphere is lesser than 7.92mm to show efflorescent nature.

The solubility product of Ca(OH)_(2) at 250^(0)C is 4.42 xx 10^(-5). A 500 mL of saturated solution of Ca(OH)_(2) is mixed with equal volume of 0.4 M NaOH. How much Ca(OH)_(2) on milligram is precipitated?

Answer»

`758.2mg`
`725.2 mg`
`785.2 mg`
`658.2 mg`

Solution : `500 mL` of `0.4 M NaOH` are mixed with `500 mL` of `Ca(OH)_(2)`. a saturated solution having `Ca(OH)_(2)` solubility as M.
For `Ca(OH)_(2) hArr Ca^(2+) + 2OH^(-)`
`K_(sp) = s xx (2s)^(2)= 4s^(3)`
Then, `4s^(3) = 4.42 xx 10^(-5)`
`s=3sqrt(((4.42 xx 10^(-5))/(4))) = 0.0233M`
Now `Ca(OH)_(2) + NaOH` are mixed
`:.` Solution has `Ca^(2+)` and `OH^(-)` out of which some `Ca^(2+)` and `OH^(-)` out of which some
`Ca^(2+)` are precipitates on mixing.
`[Ca^(2+)] = (0.0223 xx 500)/(1000) = 0.01115 = 111.5 xx 10^(-4) M`
`[OH^(-)] = (0.0223 xx 2 xx500)/(1000) + (500 xx 0.4)/(1000) = 0.2223 M`
(from `Ca(OH)_(2)`), (from `NaOH`)
`[Ca^(2+)] [OH^(-)]^(2) = KSP`
`[Ca^(2+)]_("left") [0.2223]^(2)= 4.42 xx 10^(-5)`
`[Ca^(2+)]_("left") = (4.42 xx 10^(-5))/([0.2223]^(2)) = 8.94 xx 10^(-4) "MOL litre"^(-1)`
`:'` MOLE of `Ca(OH)_(2)` precipitated `=` Mole of
`[Ca^(2+)] "INITIAL" - [Ca^(2+)]` final
`= 111.5 xx 10^(-4) -8.94 xx 10^(-4)`
`= 102.46 xx 10^(-4)`
`:.` WEIGHT of `Ca(OH)_(2)` precipitated from `Ca(OH)_(2)` solution
`= 102.46 xx 10^(-4) xx 74`
`= 7582.04 xx 10^(-4) g = 758.2 mg`

Write the net ionic equation for the rection of potassium dichromate (VI) K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) with sodium suphite Na_(2)SO_(3) in acid solution to give chromium (III) ion and suphate ion

Answer»

Solution :Step 1 WRITE the skeleton equation for the GIVEN reaction
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)(aq)+SO_(3)^(2-)(aq)rarrCr^(3+)(aq)+SO_(4)^(2-)(aq)`
Step 2 find out the element which undergo a change in oxidiatoin number (O.N)

here O.N of Cr decrease from +6 `Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)` to +3 in `Cr^(3+)` while that of s increases from +4 in `SO_(3)^(2+) to +6 in SO_(4)^(2-)`
step 3 find out the total increase and decrease in O.N
SINCE thereare two Cr atoms on L.H.S and only one on R.H.S therefore multiply `Cr^(3+)` onR.H.S of eq (i) by 2 and thus the total decreasein O.HN of Cr is `2xx3=6`
step 4 balance increase / decrease in O.N
since the toal increasein O.N is 2 and decrease is 6 therefore multiply `SO_(3)^(2-)` on L.H.S and `SO_(4)^(2-)` on R.H.S of Eq (ii) 3 combining steps 2 and 3 we have
step 5 balance all atoms than H and O not needed since both cr and s atoms are already balanced
step 6 balance o atoms by adding `H_(2)O` moleculed
since there are seven O atoms in `Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)` and nine in `3So_(3)^(2-)` on L.H.S and only 12 on the R.H.S of eq (iii) therefore add 4 molecules of `H_(2)O` to R.H.S of eq (iii) we have
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-) (aq)+3SO_(3)^(2-)(aq)rarr2cr^(3+)(aq)+3SO_(4)^(2-)(aq)+4H_(2)O(l)` step 7 balance H toms by adding `H^(+)` IONS since the reaction occurs in the acidic medium since there are 8H on R.H.s and none o the L.H.S therefore add `8H^(+)` to the L.H.S of Eq (iv) we have
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)+3SO_(3)^(2-)(aq)+8H^(+)(aq)rarr2Cr^(3+)r(aq)+3SO_(4)^(2-)(aq)+4H_(2)O(l)`
thus equ (v) REPRESENT the correct balanced equation

What are the following diseases and what are they due to ? (i) Asphyxiation (i) Pneumoconiosis (iii) Black foot (iv) Methemoglobinemia

Answer»

Solution :(i) Asphyxiation. Acute oxygen-starvation in the blood is called asphyxiation or anoxia. It happens when a person stays for long in the air having a concentration of CO more than 750 ppm.
(ii) Pneumoconiosis. It is a DISEASE of lungs commonly found in industrial workers. It is due to accumulation of small particulates in the lungs which act as sites for absorption of carcinogenic compounds such as polynuclear hydrocarbons, asbestos etc.
(iii) Black foot. It is a peripheral vascular disease in which the blood vessels in the lower limbs are severely damaged resulting eventually in gangrene. It is due to high concentration of ARSENIC in ground water.
(iv) Methemoglobinemia. It is a blue BABY syndrome which results in a blue colour skin and a congenital (from BIRTH) HEART defect in infants which laymen often call hole in the heart'. It occurs when water used for drinking contains nitrates gt 50 ppm.
