A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased. What happens when equilibrium is restored finally and what will be the final vapour pressure?

Answer»

Solution :When equilibrium is RESTORED, RATE of evaporation become equal to the rate of CONDENSATION. The final VAPOUR pressure will be the same as the original vapour pressure because vapour pressure depends only on temperature.

A liquit is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased. How do rate of evaporation and condensation change initially?

Answer»

Solution :The rate of evaporation REMAINS constance TEMPERATURE. But the rate of condensation will decrease INITIALLY because there are fewer MOLECULES per unit volume in the vapour PHASE.

A liquid with high boiling point decomposes on simple distillation but it can be steam distilled for its purification. Explain how is it possible?

Answer»

Solution :In vapour phase distillation vapour of organic compound and water is distilled out water vapour is passed in LIQUID which should be purified. So, vapour of liquid and vapour of water rises up and pass in condenser. So, liquid and water remain non-misible and form separate layer. When the total vapour PRESSURE of liquid and water becomes equal to ATMOSPHERIC pressure than distillation take place.
so, `(p_(1) + p_(2))= p " " p_(1) lt p and p_(2) lt p`
`:. p_(1) = (p- p_(2))`
Vapour pressure of organic liquid (A) is less than total pressure (p).
so, vapour distillation take place at lower temperature than BOILING POINT

A liquid weighing 86.44 g occupies a volume of 76.3 mL. Calculate the density of the liquid to the proper number of significant figures.

Answer»

Solution :Density = `("MASS")/("VOLUME")`
`=(86.44 G)/(76.3 ML)`
`=1.1328964 g//mL`
=1.13 g/mL (after rounding off)
In this calculation, the least precise number has only three SIGNIFICANT figures. Therefore, the result is also reported upto three significant figures.

A liquid is inequilibrium with its vapur in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddentlyincreases. (a)What is the intial effect of the change on vapour pressure ? (b) How do rates of evaporation and consideration change intially ? (c) What happens when equilibrium is restored finally and what will be the final vapour pressure ?

Answer»

Solution :(a) Intially, the vapour pressure will decrease because the same account of vapour are now distributed in larger space.
(b) The RATE of EVAPORATION REMAINS constant at constant temperature in a closed vessel 9discussed in unit 5 under vapur pressure. ). However, the rate of condensation will be low INITIALLY because there are fever molecules per unit volume in the vapour phase and hence the number ofcollisions per unit time with the liquid surface DECREASES.
(c ) When equilibriumis restored , rate of evaporation = rate of consensation . The final valour pressure will be same as it was originally because vapour pressure of a liquid depends only on temperature and not volume.

A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased. (a) What is the initial effect of the change on vapour pressure ? (b) How do rates of evaporation and condensation change initially? (c) What happens when equilibrium is restored finally and what will be the final vapour pressure ?

Answer»

Solution :(a) Initially the vapour pressure will increase.
(B) The rate of evaporation will remain constant at constant temperature in closed vessel. HOWEVER, rate of CONDENSATION will be low initially, because there are lesser number of molecules per UNIT volume in the vapour PHASE. Therefore, the number of collisions per unit volume with the liquid surface decreases.
(c) When equilibrium is restored, rate of evaporation becomes equal to rate of condensation. The final vapour pressure will be same as it was originally.

A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased. How do rates evaporation and condensation change initially ?

Answer»

Solution :`underset("Low pressure")(A_((l)))tounderset("High pressure")(A_((g))`
If volume is increased at CONSTANT temperature, pressure DECREASES, since, `p prop 1//V` at constant temperature.
Rate of EVAPORATION INCREASES and rate of condensation decreases.

A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased. What happens when equilibrium is restored finally and what will be the final vapour pressure ?

Answer»

Solution :`underset("Low pressure")(A_((l)))tounderset("HIGH pressure")(A_((g))`
If volume is increased at constant temperature, pressure decreases, since, `p prop 1//V` at constant temperature.
When EQUILIBRIUM is RESTORED finally the rate of EVAPORATION again becomes equal to the rate of condensation and the final vapour pressure becomes equal to the vapour pressure that was before the sudden INCREASE in the volume of the container.

A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased. What is the initial effect of change on vapour pressure ?

Answer»

Solution :`underset("Low pressure")(A_((l)))tounderset("High pressure")(A_((g))`
If volume is INCREASED at constant temperature, pressure DECREASES, since, `p prop 1//V` at constant temperature.
Decrease in pressure SHIFT the equilibrium in the direction of high pressure i.e. more vapours are formed HENCE vapour pressure INCREASES.

A large number of fishes are suddenly found floating dead on a lake. There is no evidence of toxic dumping but you find an abundance of phytoplankton. Suggest a reason for the fish killing

Answer»

SOLUTION :Excessive phytoplankton organic pollutants such as leaves, grass trash etc.) growth which is PRESENT in WATER is biodegradable. Bacteria decomposes this organic matter in water. During this process when large number of bacteria decomposes the organic matter, they CONSUME the dissolved oxygen in water. When the level of dissolved oxygen falls below 6 PPM then thefishes cannot survive and they die.

A large number of fish are suddenly found floating dead on a lake. There is no evidence of toxic dumping but you find an abundance of phytoplankton. Suggest a reason for the fish kill

Answer»

Solution :Excessive phytoplankton (organic pollutants such as leaves, grass, trash, etc.) present in water is biodegradable. large population of bacteria decomposes this organic matter in water. During this process, they consume the oxygen DISSOLVED in water. Water has already limited dissolved oxygen (10 ppm). Thus, it is further depleted When the LEVEL of dissolved oxygen falls below 6 ppm the fish cannot survive HENCE, they die and lot DEAD on the lake

A large number of fish are suddenly found floating dead on a lake. There is no evidence of toxic dumping but you find an abundance of phytoplankton. Suggest a reason for the fish kill.

Answer»

Solution :Phytoplankton CONSISTS of organic contaminants such as grass leaves ETC. In water these materials are DEGRADED by BACTERIA and a large amount of dissolved oxygen will be used up for this process. As the amount of DO drops below 6 ppm, fish cannot SURVIVE and they float dead.

A large flask fitted with a stopcock is evacuated and weighted. Its mass is found to be 134.567 g. It is then filled at a pressure of 735 mm and 131^(@)C with a gas of unknown molecular mass and then reweighed. Its mass is 137.456 g. The flask is then rewighed. Its mass weighted again, its mass is now 1067.9 g. Assuming that the gas is ideal, calculate the molar mass of the gas.

Answer»

Solution :Mass of WATER filling the flask is
`(10.67.9-134.567)g=933.333g`
`therefore` volume of flask=volume of water filling the flask LTBR `=933.3cm^(3)`
`(therefore` density of `H_(2)O=1gcm^(-3)`)
Now `P=735mm`, `T=31+273K=304K`
`V=933.3cm^(3)`
applying `PV=nRT`
`((735)/(760)atm)((933.3)/(1000)L)=nxx0.0821xx304`
gives `n=0.036mo`
Mass of 0.036 mol of the gas `=(137.456-134.567)g`
`=2.889g`
therefore mass of 1 mol of the gas `=(2.889)/(0.036)=80.25g` `mol^(-1)`

A jug contains 2L of milk. Calculate the volume of the milk in m^(3).

Answer»

SOLUTION :`"1 L "="1000 cm"^(3) and 1m=100 cm`
`(1m)/(100CM)=1=(100cm)/(1m)`
To GET `m^(3)` from the above UNIT factors, the first unit factor is taken and it is cubed.
`((1m)/(100m))^(3)rArr(1m^(3))/(10^(6)cm^(3))=(1)^(3)=1`
Now `2L=2xx1000cm^(3)`
The above is mltiplied by the unit factor
`2xx1000cn^(3)xx(1m^(3))/(10^(6)cm^(3))=(2m^(3))/(10^(3))=2xx10^(-3)m^(3)`
