What is zone refining ? Describe the principle involved in the purification of the metal by this method.

Answer»

Solution :Zone refining : This method is employed for preparing highly pure metal (such as silicon, tellurium, germanium), which are used as semiconductors. It is based on the principle that melting point of a substance is lowered by the presence of IMPURITIES. Consequently, when an IMPURE molten metal is cooled, crystals of the pure metal are solidified, and the impurities remain behind the remaining metal.
The process consists in casting the impure metal in the form of a bar. A circular heater FITTED around this bar is slowly moved longitudinally from one end to the other. At the heated zone, the bar melts and as the heater moves on, pure metal crystallizes, while the impurities pass into the adjacent molten part.
In this WAY, the impurities are swrpt from one end of the bar to the other, By repeating the process, ultra pure metal can be obtained.

Which is a stronger reducing agent Cr^(2+) or Fe^(2+)and why ?

Answer»

Solution :`Cr^(2+)`is a STRONGER reducing agent than `Fe^(2+)`.
REASON . `E_(Cr^(3+) //Cr^(2+))^(@)`is `-ve ( -0.41V)`whereas `E_(Fe^(3+) //Fe^(2+))^(@)` is `+ve ( + 0.77V)`. THUS, `Cr^(2+)` is easily OXIDIZED to `Fe^(3+)` but `Fe^(2+)` cannot be easily oxidized to `Fe^(3+)` . Hence, `Cr^(2+)` is stronger reducing agent than `Fe^(2+)`

Vapour pressure of C_6H_6 and C_7H_8 mixture at 50^@C are given by: P=179X_B+92," where "X_B" is mole fraction of "C_6H_6. Calculate (in mm): (A) Vapour pressure of pure liquids. (B) Vapour pressure of liquid mixture obtained by mixing 936 g C_6H_6 anf 736 g toluene. (C) If the vapours are removed and condensed into liquid and again brought to the temperature of 50^@C, what would be mole fraction of C_6H_6 in vapour state?

Answer»

Solution :(A) Given, `P=179X_B+92`
For pure, `C_6H_6,X_B=1`
`:.P_B^@=179+92=271mm`
For pure,`C_7H_8,X_B=0`
`:.P_T^@=179xx0+92=92mm`
(B) Now`PM=P_B^@X_B+P_T^@X_T`
`271xx12/(12+8)+92xx8/(12+8)=162.6+36.8`
= 199.4 mm.
MOLES of `C_6H_6=936/78=12`
Moles of `C_7H_8=736/92=8`
(C) Now mole fraction of `C_6H_6` in VAPOUR phase of intial mixture`(X_T^/)`
`(X_T^/)=P_B^(/)/P_M=162.6/199.4=0.815`
Moles fraction of `C_7H_8` in vapour phase of intial mixture `(X_T^/)`
`(X_T^/)=P_T^(/)/P_M=36.8/199.4=0.185`
These vapours are taken out and condensed into liquid. The liquid is again BROUGHT to `50^@` to get again vapour-liquid equilibrium.
Thus, mole fraction of `C_6H_6` in vapour phase of initial mixture
= Mole fraction of `C_6H_6` in liquid phase on II mixture `X_B^(/)` Similarly, mole fraction of `C_7H_8` in vapour phase of initial mixture
 Mole fraction of `C_7H_8` in liquid phase on II mixture `X_T^(/)`
New `P_M=P_B^(/)+P_T^(/)`
THEREFORE, new `P_M=P_B^@X_B^(/)+P_T^@X_T^(/)`
`271xx0.815+92xx0.185` mm
`220.865+17.02=237.885` mm
`:.` New mole fraction of `C_6H_6` in vapour phase
`("New"P_B^(/))/("New"P_M)=220.865/237.885=0.928`
`:.` New mole fraction of `C_7H_8` in vapour phase = 0.072

What is molal elevation ? Explain.

Answer»

Solution :Increase in boiling point of a solution prepared by dissolving one gram molar mass of non volatile solute in one KILOGRAM of solvent is called as molal elevation.
The boiling point of a solution is always higher than that of the pure solvent in which the solution is prepared, the elevation of boiling point ALSO depends on the number of solute MOLECULES rather than their nature.
Let `T_(b)^(0)` be the boiling point of pure solvent and `T_(b)` be the boiling point point of solution. The increase in the boiling point `Delta T_(b)=T_(b)-T_(b)^(0)` is known as elevation of boiling point.
For dilute solutions the elevation of boiling point `(Delta _(b))` is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solute in a solution. Thus,
`Delta T_(b)prop m`
`Delta T_(b)=K_(b)m ""` ....(1)
Where, m molality
`K_(b)=` Boiling Point Elevation Constant or Molal Elevation Constant (Ebullioscopic CONSTAT)
The unit of `K_(b)` is K kg `MOL^(-1)`. If `w_(2)` gram of solute of molar mass `M_(2)` is dissolved in `w_(1)` gram of solvent, then molality, m of the solution is given by the expression :
`m=(w_(2)xx M_(2))/(w_(1)//1000)=(1000xx w_(2))/(M_(2)xx w_(1))`
Substituting the value of molality in equation (1) we get
`Delta T_(b)=(K_(b)xx1000xx w_(2))/(M_(2)xx w_(1))`
`M_(2)=(1000xx w_(2)xx K_(b))/(Delta T_(b)xx w_(1))`
