What is the minimum volume of water required to dissolve 1g of calcium sulphate at 298 K, For calcium sulphate, K_(sp)=9.1 times 10^-6.

Answer»

Solution :`CaSO_4(s) leftrightarrowCa^2(aq)+SO_4^(2-)(aq)`
It’s the solubility of `CaSO_4` in moles `L^-1` then `K_(sp)=[Ca^(2-)] times [SO_4^(2-)]=s^2`
`s=sqrt(K_(sp))=sqrt(9.1 times 10^-6)=3.02 times 10^-3 mol L^-1`
`=3.02 times 10^-3 times 136 G L^-1=0.411 gL^-1`
(Molar mass of `CaSO_4=136g mol^-1`)
Thus, for dissolving 0.441 g, WATER required =1 L
`therefore` For dissolving 1g, water required =`1/0.411 L=2.43L`

While studying the decomposition of N_(2)O_(5)(g), it is observed that a plot of logarithm of its partial pressure versus time is linear. What kinetic parameter can be obtained from this ?

Answer»

Solution :Considering as `1^(st)` ORDER reaction
`k=(2.303)/(t)log_(10).(a)/((a-x))`
`implieskt=2.303log_(10)a-2.303log_(10)(a-x)`…………`(1)`
In terms of PRESSURE
`a prop P_(0)`
`(a-x) prop P`
`K_(f)=2.303log_(10)P_(0)-2.303log_(10)P`
or `log_(10)P=-(K)/(2.303)t+log_(10)P_(0)`
Thus log `P` vs. time graph is linear with intercept EQUAL to `P_(0)` and SLOPE equal to `-(K)/(2.303)`. Since linear results are given DECOMPOSITION may be said `1^(st)` order.

The thermodynamic property that measures the extent of molecular disorder is called entropy. The direction of a spontaneous process for which the energy is constant is always the one that increases the molecular disorder. Entropy change of phase transformation can be calculated using Trouton's formula (DeltaS= (DeltaH)/(T)). In the reversible adiabatic process, however, DeltaS will be zero. The rise in temperature in isobaric and isochoric conditions is found to increase the randomness or entropy of the system. DeltaS= 2.303 C log (T_(1)//T_(2)), (C = C_(P) or C_(V)) The entropy change in an adiabatic process is

What is the structure difference between HDP and LDP ? How does the structure account for different behaviour and nature , hence the use of a polymer ?

Answer»

Solution :LDP has a branched structure and hence does not PACK well. As a result , it has LOW density. It is a transparent polymer of moderate tensile strength and HIGH toughness. It is flexible and is a poor conductor of electricity. It is widely used as a packaging material (in the form of thin PLASTIC films, bags etc.) , as insulation for electrical wires and cables , in the manufacturing of squeeze bottles , toys and flexible pipes. HDP , on the other hand , has linear structure and hence packs well. As a result, it has higher density and higher m.p. than LDP, It is a translucent polymer. It has greater toughness, hardness and tensile strength than LDP. It is used in the manufacture of containers (buckets , MUGS ,tubs etc.) housewares , pipes , bottles and toys.

When 1-pentyne (A) is treated with 4 N alcoholic KOH at 175^@c , it is convertedslowly into an equilibrium mixture of 1.3 T 1-pentyne (A) , 95.2% 2-pentyne (B) and 3.5 % of 1,2-pentadiene C . The equilibrium was maintained at 175^@C. Calculate DeltaG^@ for the followingequilibria . {:(BhArrA,DeltaG_1^@=?),(BhArrC,DeltaG_2^@=?):} From the calculated value of DeltaG_1^@ and DeltaG_2^@ indicate the order of stabilityof (A) , (B) and (C ) . write a reasonable reaction mechanism showing all intermediates leading to (A),(B) and (C ) .

Answer»

Solution :`{:("","PENTYNE",overset(KOH)HARR,2-"Pentyne"+1","2,-"Pentadiene"),("",(A),"",(B),(C )),("At eqm"% ,1.3,"",95.5,3.5):}`
`K_c=([B][C])/([A])=(95.2xx3.5)/(1.3)=256.31`
For eqm. `B hArr A`
`K_1=([A])/([B])`
From Eqs. (i) and (ii) ,`K_1=([C])/(K_c)`
`=(3.5)/(256.31)=0.013`
`DeltaG^2=-2.303 RTlog_(10)K`
`=-2.303 xx 8.314xx448 log _(10)0.013`
=161787
=16.178 kJ
STABILITY order for A and B is `B gt A`
Similarly `B hArr C`
`K_2=([C])/([B])`
`=(K_cxx[A])/([B]^2)`
`=(256.31xx1.3)/(95.2xx95.2)`
`therefore DeltaG_2^@=-2.303 RT log _(10)k`
`=-2.303 xx 8.314 xx448 log _(10) 0.037`
=12282 J
=12.282 kJ
Thus stability order for B and C is `B gt C`
Total ordeer of stability is `B gt C gt A`
