A physician wishes to prepare a buffer solution at pH = 3.58 that efficiently resists changes in pH yet contains only small concentration of the buffering agents. Which of the following weak acids together with its sodium salt would be best to use

Answer»

m - chlorobenzoic acid `(pK_(a) = 3.98)`
p - chlorocinnamic acid `(pK_(a) = 4.41)`
2, 5-dihydroxy benzoic acid `(pK_(a) = 2.97)`
Acetoacetic acid `(pK_(a) = 3.58)`

Solution :`pH = pK_(a) + log.(["SALT"])/(["Acid"])`. For HIGHEST buffer CAPACITY `(["Salt"])/(["Acid"]) ~~ 1`
`pH = pK_(a) + log_(10)1`
`pH = pK_(a)`
So, `pK_(a)` should be 3.58.

A photochemical reaction between H_(2(g)) and Cl_(2(g)) is a zero order reaction. Explain.

Answer»

Solution :Consider PHOTOCHEMICAL reaction between `H_(2)` and `Cl_(2)` gases.
`H_(2(g))+Cl_(2(g))("Diffused")/("Sunlight")2HCl_((g))`
In this the rate of the reaction remains constant throughout the progress of the reaction, even if the concentration of the reactants decreases with time, until the reactant has reacted entirely.
Hence, by the rate LAW,
`R=k[H_(2)]^(0)[Cl_(2)]^(0)=k"(constant)"`.
Hence the above reaction is a zero order reaction.

A person is declared as a diabetic if his/her blood sugar/blood glucose level exceeds 160 mg/dL when tested 2 hours after meals. In some countries, it is reported in the units of m molL^(-1). If a person has blood sugar of 10 m mol L^(-1), is he/she diabetic or not? Explain.

Answer»


Answer :Molar mass of glucose `(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))=180G mol^(-1),i.e., 1 mol=180g`
`THEREFORE"1 mmol = 180 mgor1 mmol L"^(-1)=18 ,g//dL`
`therefore"10 mmol L"^(-1)=10xx18mg//dL=180mg//dL`
Hence, he/she is DIABETIC.

A person is considered to be suffering from lead poisoning if its concentration in him is more than 15 micrograms of lead per decilitre of blood. Concentration in parts per billion parts is

Answer»

1
0
100
1000

Solution :`10 mu g = 10xx10^(-6)g=10^(-5)g`
`"1 decilitre "=0.1 L=100mL`
Thus, 100 mL of blood CONTAIN LEAD `=10^(-5)g`
`therefore"1 billion "(10^(9))" parts will contain lead"`
`=(10^(-5))/(100)xx10^(9)=10^(2)="100 parts"`
i.e., concentration = 100 parts per billion parts

A person inhales 640 g of O_(2) per day. If all the O_(2) is used for converting sugar into CO_(2) and H_(2)O , how much sucrose (C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)) is consumed in the body in one day and what is the heat evolved ? DeltaH ( combustion of sucrose) =-5645 " kJ mole"^(-1).

Answer»

Solution :MOLES of `O_(2)` inhaled by a person in one day `=(640)/(32)=20`
Given that,
`C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)+12O_(2) to 12CO_(2)+11H_(2)O,DeltaH=-5645"KJ"`
Thus, 12 moles of `O_(2)` consume 1 mole of sucrose or 12 moles of `O_(2)` consume 342 g of sucrose
`:. 20` "mole" of `O_(2)` consume `(342)/(12)xx20,i.e., 570g` of sucrose
Further,
342g (1 "mole") of sucrose LIBERATES 5645 kJ
`:. 570 g` of sucrose should liberate`(5645)/(342)xx570=9408.34"kJ"`.

A person has as many notes as number of oxygen atoms in 24.8 g Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3).5H_(2)O (mol. Wt. = 248). A note counting machine counts 48 million notes per day. How many days it would take to count thesenotes?

Answer»

`10^(12)`
`10^(14)`
`10^(16)`
`10^(18)`

Solution :`24.8g" of" Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3).5H_(2)O=(24.8)/(248)"mole"=0.1 "mole"`
`"1 mole of "Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3).5H_(2)O" contains O-atoms = 8 MOLES"`
`THEREFORE"0.1 mole of "Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3).5H_(2)O" will contain O-atoms = 0.8 atom"`
`=0.8xx6.02xx10^(23)` atoms
`=4.816 xx10^(23)` atoms
Thus, no. of MASS `=4.816xx10^(23)`
`"Days TAKEN"=(4.816xx10^(23))/(48xx10^(6))=10^(16)`.

A person adds 1*71 gram of sugar (C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)) in order to sweeten his tea. The number of carbon atoms added are (mol. mass of sugar - 342)

Answer»

`3*6xx10^(22)`
`7*2XX10^(21)`
`0*05`
`6*6xx10^(22)`

SOLUTION :Moles of sugar added `= (1*71)/(342) = 5xx10^(-3)`
CARBON atoms added
`=12xx5xx10^(-3)xx6*02xx10^(23)`
`= 3.61xx10^(22)`
