Two elements A (at. wt. = 75) and B (at. wt. = 16) combine to give a compound having 75-8% of A. What is the formula of the compound?

Answer»

SOLUTION :100 g of the COMPOUND should contain 75.8 g of A and 24.2 g of B.
Moles of `A= ("WEIGHT of A")/( "atomic wt.of A") =(75.8)/(75) =1 `
Moles of B = `("Weight of B")/("atomic wt.of B) = (24.2)/(16)=1.5 `
Thus, molar ratio of A and B in WHOLE numbers is 2:3, and the formula is, therefore, `A_(2),B_(3)`.

Write expression for the work done by 1 moleof the gas in each of the following cases : (i) For irreversible expansion of the gas from volume V_(1) to V_(2). (ii) For reversible isothermal expansion of the gas from volume V_(1) toV_(2). (iii)For expansion of the gas into an evaluated vessel. (iv) For reversibleisothermal compression of the gas from pressure P_(1) to P_(2) (v)For adiabatic expansion resulting into changeof temperature from T_(1) to T_(2).

Answer»

Solution :(i)IRREVERSIBLE EXPANSION takes place when external pressure `(P_(ext))` remains constant
`w_("irrev")= - P_("ext") (V_(2)-V_(1))= -P_(ext) DeltaV`
(ii)Reversible expansion takes place when internal pressure is infinitesimally greater than exterhanl pressure `(P_("int")~=P_(ext))` at EVERY stage. Thsu, externalpressurehas to be ADJUSTED throughout.
`w_(rev)= -nRT LN. (V_(2))/(V_(1))`
(iii) The expansion is irreversible. Further, as `P_(ext) =0`, therefore,
`w= -P_(ext)DeltaV= 0 xx ( DeltaV) = 0`
(iv) When gas is compressed, work is done on the gas. For isothermalreversible compression,
`w= + nRT ln. (P_(2))/(P_(1))`
(v) For adiabatic expansion, temperature falls, i.e.,`T_(2) ltT_(1))`
`w=C_(v) (T_(2)-T_(1)),i.e., w` is -ve.

The solubility of BaSO_(4) in water is 2.33 g 100 mL^(-1). Calculate the percentage loss in weight when 0.2g of BaSo_(4) is washed with a. 1L of water b. 1L of 0.01 NH_(2)SO_(4).[Mw_(BaSO_(4)) = 233 g mol^(-1)]

Answer»

Solution :a. Solubility is in general expressed in `gL^(-1)`, so soubility of `BaSo_(4) = 2.33 XX 10^(-3) gL^(-1)`
Loss in weight of `BaSO_(4) =` Amount of `BaSO_(4)` soluble.
`rArr %`loss `= (2.33 xx 10^(-3))/(0.2) xx 100 = 1.16%`
b. `0.01 NH_(2)SO_(4) -= 0.01 N SO_(4)^(2-) ions`
`-= 0.0055 M SO_(4)^(2-) ION (n` factor for `SO_(4)^(2-) = 2)`
Now presence of `SO_(4)^(2-)` prior to washing `BaSO_(4)` will supress the solubility of `BaSO_(4)` (due to common ion effect. ) The supersion will be governed by `K_(sp)` value of `BaSO_(4)`. So, first calculate the `K_(sp)` of `BaSO_(4)`.
Solubility of `BaSO_(4)` in fresh water `= 2.33 xx 10^(-3) gL^(-1)`
`= (2.33 xx 10^(-3))/(33) ,mol L^(-1) = 10^(-5)M`
`K_(sp)= [Ba^(2+)][SO_(4)^(2-)] = (10^(-5))^(2) = 10^(10)`
Now let `x` be the solubility in `mol L^(-1) in H_(2)SO_(4)`
`rArr [Ba^(2+)] `in solution `= x mol L^(-1)`
and `[SO_(4)^(2-)]` in solution `= (x + 0.005) mol L^(-1)`
Ionic product `= [Ba^(2+)] [SO_(4)^(2-)] = (x) (x + 0.005)`
`K_(sp) =` Ionic product at equilibrium (SATURATION)
`rArr 1.0 xx 10^(-10) = (x) (x + 0.005)`
Assuming `x` to be a small number `(x + 0.005) ~~ 0.005`
`rArr x = (10^(-10))/(0.005) = 2xx10^(-8)mol L^(-1)`
`= 2 xx 10^(-8) xx 233 gL^(-1)`
` = 4.66 xx 10^(-6) gL^(-1)`
`rArr 4.66 xx 10^(-6)g of BaSO_(4)` is washed away.
`rArr % loss = (4.66 xx 10^(-6)xx100)/(0.2) = 2.33 xx 10^(-3) %`

Which of the following will produce the highest risein temperature?

Answer»

67 mL of 1M NaOH `+`33 mL of 0.5M `H_(2)SO_(4)`
33 mL of 1 M NaOH `+`67 mLof 0.5M `H_(2)SO_(4)`
40 mL of 1 M NaOH`+` 60 mL of 0.5 M `H_(2) SO_(4)`
50 mL of 1 M NaOH `+` 50 mLof 0.5M `H_(2)SO_(4)`

Solution :0.5M `H_(2)SO_(4) -= 1NH_(2)SO_(4)`. HENCE,completeneutralization will TAKE placeonly in (d) where 50 mL OF1 MNaOH `(= 1N NaOH)` willneutralize 50 mLof0.5 M`H_(2)SO_(4)(1 N H_(2)SO_(4))`. Thus HEAT evolved will be maximum and so rise in temperature will be highest.

Answer»

Solution :Comparing `IE_1 + IE_2` and Ni and Pt, Ni has LOWER VALUE than Pt THEREFORE,`Ni^(+2)` will be more STABLE than `Pt^(+2)` where as on summating`IE_1, IE_2 , IE_3 and IE_4 . `
`Ni^(4+)=2.49+8.80=11.29`
`Pt^(4+)=2.66+6.70=9.36`
I.E. of Pt (IV) is LESS than Ni(V)
Therefore `Pt^(4+)` is more stable
