What are the evidence in favour of dual behaviour of electron?

Answer»

Solution :The particle nature of ELECTRON can be explained by the plained by the photoelectric effect and Planck's Quantum Theory .
When light falls on the surface of a metal , electrons are ejected from the surface with some kinetic energy by absorbing energy in the form of quantum . The kinetic energy of photo electrons is directly proportional to frequency . Kinetic energy of photoelectrons is INDEPENDENT of intensity because increase energy does not affect the energy of photons rather it simply increases the number of photons falling on the surface of metal and hence the number of photo-electrons . This proves the particle nature of electrons.
The wave nature of electrons was verified EXPERIMENTALLY by Davisson and Germer by carrying out diffraction EXPERIMENTS with a beam of fast moving electrons . This wave nature of electrons is utilised in the construction of electron MICROSCOPE.
From the evidences of photoelectric effect in favour of particle nature and also from the evidences of experiments conducted by Davisson and Germer in favour of wave nature , we can conclude that electron has dual nature .

What is freezing point of a liquid ? The freezing point of pure benzene is 278.4 K. Calculate the freezing point of the solution when 2.0 gram of a solute having molecular weight 100 gram is added to 100 gram of benzene. (K_(f) for benzene =5.12 kg "mol"^(-1))

Answer»

Solution :FREEZING POINT of aliquid is a temperature at whichthe vapour pressure of solid is EQUAL to the vapour pressure of the LIQUID.
Given,
`(T^(@))` Freezing point of benzene = 278.4 K
(T) Freezing pointof solution = ?
`(W_(2))` Mass of solute `=2.0 g= 2.0xx10^(-3)kg`
`(M_(2))` Molar mass of solute `=100g = 0.1 kg `
`K_(f)` of benzene `=5.12` kg `"mol"^(-1)`
`(W_(1))` Mass of solvent `=100 g = 0.1 kg`
`Delta T_(f)=(W_(2)xxK_(f)xx1000)/(M_(2)xxW_(1))`
`T^(@)-T=(2.0xx5.12xx10^(-3))/(0.100xx0.1)`
`278.4-T=1.024`
`278.4-T=1.024K`
`T=-1.024+278.4`
`=277.376` K
Freezing point of solution is 277.376 K.

Two beakers one containing 20mL of a 0.05M aqueous solution of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte and the other, the same volume of 0.03M aqueous solution of NaCl, are placed side by side in a closed encloser. What are the volumes in the two beakers when equilibrium is attained.

Answer»

Solution :Moles of SOLUTE particles in the first beaker
`=(0.05)/(1000)xx20=0.001`
Moles of solute particles `(Na^(+)"and"Cl^(-))` in the other beaker
`=(2xx0.03)/(1000)xx20=0.0012`
As the solution in the first beaker is more dilute than that in the other beaker, the vapour PRESSURE over the solution in the first beaker will be higher than that over the NaCl solution in the SECOND beaker. The water molecules shall thus flow from the first beaker to the other till both the SOLUTIONS have equal MOLARITY. Let this volume of water molecules be vmL. Thus,
`(0.001)/(20-v)=(0.0012)/(20+v)`
or `v=1.8mL`
`:.` volume of the solution in the first beaker
`=20-1.8=18.2mL`
and the volume of NaCl solution in the other beaker
`=20+1.8=21.8mL`
