The reduction potential diagram for Cu in acid solution is : Calculate X. Does Cu^(+) disproportionate in solution ?

Answer»

Solution :`Cu^(2+),e to Cu^+ , E^@=0.15 , Delta G^@=n F E^@=-1 times 0.15 F =-0.15 F`
`Cu^+ + e to Cu: E^@= 0.50, Delta G^@=-1 times 0.50 F=-0.50 F`
On adding
`Cu^(2)+2 e to Cu, Delta G^@=-0.65 F`
`E_(Cu^(2+),Cu)^@=(Delta G^@)/(- n F)=(-0.65 F)/(-2F)=0.325 ` volt
`x=0.325` volt
Further
`Cu^+ to Cu^(2+) +e, Delta G^@=-nFE^@=-1 times (-0.15)F=0.15 F`
`Cu^+ +e to Cu, Delta G^@=-nFE^@=-1 times 0.50 times F=-0.50 F`
`=0.0591/n log {[Ag^+]_(righ t)/[Ag^+]_(l eft)}`
`=0.0591/1 log""0.1/0.001=0.0591 log 100`
`=0.1182` volt
Since `E_(cell)` is positive, the right ELECTRODE will act as cathode (where reduction occurs) and the left electrode will act as anode (where oxidation occurs) The electrons will thus TRAVEL from left to right in external circuit.

You are supplied with 500 mL each of 2 N HCl and 5 N HCI. What is the maximum volume of 3 M HCI that you can prepare using only these two solutions?

Answer»

250 mL
500 mL
750 mL
1000 mL

Solution : Maximum volume of 3 M HCL solution can be PREPARED by taking 500 mL of 2 N HCl and some volume of 5 N HCl (let x mL). For HCI, Molarity = Normality
So, `N_(1)V_(1) + N_(2)V_(2) = N_(3)V_(3)`
`=500 xx 2 + x xx 5 = (x+500) xx 3`
(`THEREFORE` Volume of 3 M solution formed = 500 mL + x mL)
`therefore 1000 + 5x = 250 mL`
Then, maximum volume of 3 M solution formed
`=500 + 250 = 750 mL`

When in reaction concentration of reactant is 8 time increase then rate of reactant is doubled than what is order of reaction?

Answer»

First
`(1)/(3)`
0.5
0

Solution :Suppose the order =x
Initial rate =`r_(1)=k[R]^(x)`
New Rate =`r_(2)`=k`[8R]^(x)=K8^(x)[R]^(x)`
But new rate =`r_(2)=2r_(1)`
`therefore 2r_(1)=k 8^(x)[R]^(x)`
So, `(2r_(1))/(r_(1))=(k(8)^(x)[R]^(x))/(k[R]^(x))`
`therefore 2=8^(x)`
`therefore 2=8^((1)/(3))` So,order of reaction`x=(1)/(3)`
23488.

The root mean square velocity of gas is doubled, which of the following is correct ?

Answer»

Its temperature is doubled
Its pressure is made four times
Its temperature is INCREASED four times
T is increased four times and pressure is doubled

Solution :C is correct because `U_("rms")=sqrt((3RT)/(m))`
If T is increase 4 times, `U_("rms")` will BECOME double.
`U_("rms")=sqrt((3P)/(d))`. If P is made four times .d. will became four times THEREFORE .u. remanic same. Hence B is not correct.
(D) is correct because if P will not affect density as EXPLAINED in (B) but `U_("rms") prop sqrt (T)`,
Hence `U_("rms")` becomes double.
Hence, (C ) and (D) are the correct answer.

What is a salt bridge? Explain the functions of a salt bridge.

Answer»

Solution :A salt bridge is a U-shaped glass TUBE containig a saturated
solution
of a strong electrolyte, like `KCl,NH_(4)NO_(3), Na_(2)SO_(4)` in a
SOLIDIFIED arar-agar gel. A hot saturated solution of these electrolytes in
5% agar solution is filled in the U-shaped tube and allowed it to cool and
solidify forming a gel.
The functions of a salt bridge are :
(1) It maintains the electrical contact
between the two electrode solutions of the half
cells.
(2) It prevents the mixing of electrode
solutions.
(3) It maintains the electrical neutrality in
both the solutions of two half cells bya flow of
ions.
It eliminates the liquid junction
potential.
