|
Answer» (a) In 100 g samples of the two oxides, the masses of the metal are 78.7 g and 64.5 g respectively. First Oxide : Mass of oxygen = 100 – 78.7 = 21.3 g No. of parts by mass of oxygen combining with one part by mass of metal = \(\frac{78.7}{21.3}\) = 3.7g Second oxide: Mass of oxygen = 100 – 64.5 = 35.5 g No. of parts by mass of oxygen combining with one part by mass of metal = \(\frac{64.5}{35.5}\) = 1.9g The ratio of masses of oxygen combining with a fixed mass of metal = 3.7 : 1.9 = 2: 1, a simple whole number ratio. (b) 1/12th the mass C12 atom – amu 1 g of hydrogen atom – gram atom 22.4 L O2 at NTP – molar volume 180 g of glucose – gram mole 6.022 × 1023 particles – 1 mole |

Nitrogen forms various oxides. 1. Identify the law of chemical combination illustrated here. Also state the law. 2. Determine the formula of each oxide from the given data and illustrate the law. Oxides Mass of N Mass of O Formula Oxide I 14 16 ...... Oxide II 14 32 ...... Oxide III 28 16 ...... Oxide IV 28 48 ...... |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Answer» 1. Law of multiple proportions. When two elements combine to form more than one compound the different mass of one of the elements which combine with the fixed mass of the other element bear a simple ratio. 2.
In NO and NO2 , the masses of oxygen combining with a fixed mass (14 g) of nitrogen are in the ratio, 16:32 = 1:2. Similarly, in N2O and N2O3 , the masses of oxygen combining with a fixed mass (28 g) of nitrogen are in the ratio, 16:48 = 1:3. These are simple whole number ratios. Hence, the law of multiple proportions is verified. |

The degree of dissociation of acetic acid is affected by |
|
Answer» \(\underset{C(1 -\alpha)}{CH_3COOH} \rightleftharpoons \underset{C\alpha}{CH_3COO^\ominus} + \underset{C\alpha}{H^+}\) \(K_a = \frac{C^2\alpha^2}{C(1 - \alpha)}\) \(K_a = \frac{C\alpha^2}{1 - \alpha}\) ∵ Acetic acid is very weak acid, so we can write 1 - α ≈ 1 ∴ Ka = cα2 \(\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_a}C}\) As we can see in the above relation degree of dissociation of Acetic acid depends on the concentration of acid and its dissociation constant. As we know dissociation constant only depends on the temperature therefore, degree of dissociation also affected by temperature. At constant temperature, when concentration of acid decreases the degree of dissociation of Acetic acid increases. Hence, temperature and dilution of Acetic acid affect the degree of dissociation. |

What is Kohlrausch’s Law?Kohlrausch’s law states that the equivalent conductivity of an electrolyte at infinite dilution is equal to the sum of the conductances of the anions and cations.The molar conductivity of a solution at a given concentration is the conductance of the volume of solution containing one mole of electrolyte kept between two electrodes with the unit area of cross-section and distance of unit length. The molar conductivity of a solution increases with the decrease in concentration. This increase in molar conductivity is because of the increase in the total volume containing one mole of the electrolyte. When the concentration of the electrolyte approaches zero, the molar conductivity is known as limiting molar conductivity, Ëm°. |

Nitrogen forms only NCl3 but phosphorus forms PCl3 and PCl5 both why ? |
|
Answer» There is no vacant d-orbital in the outermost orbit of Nitrogen. Thus nitrogen show valency only three. There are valent d-orbitals in the outer most orbit of phosphorus and hence it shows variable covalence 3 and 5 in ground state and excited state respectively. Hence nitrogen forms only NCl3 but phosphorus forms PCl3 and PCl5 both. |

Following experiment was performed by J.J. Thomson in order to measure ratio of charge e and mass m of electron. Electrons emitted from a hot filament are accelerated by a potential difference V. As the electrons pass through deflecting plates, they encounter both electric and magnetic fields. the entire region in which electrons leave the plates they enters a field free region that extends to fluorescent screen. The entire region in which electrons travel is evacuated. Firstly, electric and magnetic fields were made zero and position of undeflected electron beam on the screen was noted. The electric field was turned on and resulting deflection was noted. Deflection is given by `d_(1) = (eEL^(2))/(2mV^(2))` where L = length of deflecting plate and v = speed of electron. In second part of experiment, magnetic field was adjusted so as to exactly cancel the electric force leaving the electron beam undeflected. This gives `eE = evB`. Using expression for ` d_(1)` we can find out `(e)/(m) = (2d_(1)E)/(B^(2)L^(2))` A beam of electron with velocity `3 xx 10^(7) m s^(-1)` is deflected 2 mm while passing through 10 cm in an electric field of ` 1800 V//m` perpendicular to its path. `e//m` for electron isA. `1.5 xx 10^(11)Ckg^(-1)`B. `2 xx 10^(11)Ckg^(-1)`C. `2.5 xx 10^(11)Ckg^(-1)`D. `3 xx 10^(11)Ckg^(-1)` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Since `d_(1)=(eEL^(2))/(2mv^2) or e/m = (2 d_(1)v^(2))/(EL^(2))` Here `d_(1)= 2 xx 10^(-3)m` `v= 3xx 10^(7) m//s L=0.1m` `E=1800 V//m` `e/m = (2 xx (2 xx 10^(-3)) xx (3 xx 10^(7))^(2))/(1800 xx (0.1)^(2)) = 2 xx 10^(11) C//kg`. Hence choice (b) is correct. |

The electric field point to the top, while the magnetic field point into the pageB. The electric field point to the top, while the magnetic field point out of pageC. Electric field points to the bottom, while the magnetic field point out of pateD. Electric field points to the bottom, while the magnetic field points into the page |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Since electrons are deflected downward, hence electric field must be upward. The magnetic force in order to cancel the electric force must point upward. From right hand rule, magnetic field must point out of page. Hence choice (b) is correct. |
