The concentration of solutions can be expressed in number of ways such that Normality, Molarity, Molality, Mole fractions, Strength, `%` by weight, `%` by volume and `%` by strength. The molarity of ionic compound is usually expressed as formality beacuse we use formula weight of ionic compound. Addition of water to a solution changes all these terms, however increase in temperature does not change molality, mole fraction and `%` by weight terms. Volume of water required to convert `100 mL 0.5M NaOH` solutions to `0.2M NaOH` solution is:A. `250 mL`B. `150 mL`C. `100 mL`D. `400 mL`

Answer» Correct Answer - C

How many moles of `CaO` will be required to remove `HCO_(3)^(-)` from `1000 kg` of this water? If `1000 kg` of this water is treated with the amount of `CaO` calculated above, what will be the concentration (in ppm)of residual `Ca^(2+)` ions (Assume `CaCO_(3)` to be completely insoluble in water)? If the `Ca^(2+)` ions in one litre of the treated water are completely exchange with hydrogen ions, what will be its `pH` (One ppm means one part of the substance in one million part of water, weight`//`weight)?

Answer» Sample of hard water contains `96 pp m SO_(4)^(2-)` and `40 pp m Ca^(2+)` ions left in solution are `CaSO_(4),i.e., 40pp m`
Now `1 "litre"` water contains `Ca^(2+)` after removal of

Haemoglobin contains `0.312%` iron by weight. The molecular weight of haemoglobin in `89600`. Find the number of iron atoms per molecular of haemoglobin.

Answer» Correct Answer - 5
`because 100 g` haemoglobin has iron `= 0.312 g`
`:. 89600 g` haemoglobin has iron
`= (0.312 xx 89600)/(100) = 279.55`
`:. 1 "mole"` or `N` molecules of haemoglobin has
`= (279.55)/(56) ~~ 5g-"atom of Fe"`

A sample of `Mg` was burnt in air to give a mixure of `MgO` and `Mg_(3)N_(2)`. The ash was dissolved in `60 Meq`. of `HCl` and the resulting solution was back titrated with `NaOH`. `12 Meq`. Of `NaOH` was then added and the solution distrilled. The ammonia released was then trapped in `10 Meq`. of second acid solution. Back titration of this solution required `6 Meq`. of the base Calculate the percentage of `Mg` burnt to the nitride.

Answer» Let total milli-mole of `Mg` used for `MgO` and `Mg_(3)N_(2)` be `a` and `b` respectively.
`{:(,2Mg+,O_(2),rarr,2MgO),("Before reaction",a,,,0),("After reaction",0,,,a),(,3Mg+,N_(2),rarr,Mg_(3)N_(2)),("Before reaction",b,,,0),("After reaction",0,,,b//3):}`
Now `(a+b//30)` milli-mole of `MgO` and `Mg_(3)N_(2)` are present in the mixture.
`MgO + 2HCl rarr MgCl_(2)+H_(2)O`,
`Mg_(3)N_(2)+8HCl rarr 3MgCl_(2) + 2NH_(4)Cl`
or the solution contains `a` milli-mole of `MgCl_(2)` from `MgO` and `b` milli-mole of `MgCl_(2)` from `Mg(3)N_(2)` and `(2b)/(3)` milli-mole of `NH_(4)Cl`.
Also millie-mole of `HCl` used for this purpose
`{:(=2a,,+,,(8b)/(3)),("for" MgO,,,,"for"Mg_(3)N_(2)):}`
Now milli-mole of `HCl` or Meq. of `HCl` (monobasic acid)
`= 60-12 = 48`
`2a + (8b)/(3) = 48`
Further, millie-mole of `NH_(4)Cl` formed `=` milli-mole of `NH_(3)` liberated
`=` milli-mole of `HCl` used for absorbing `NH_(3)`
`:. (2b)/(3) = 4` or `b = 6` ...(2)
From eqn. (1), `2a + (8 xx 6)/(3) = 48` or `a = 16`
Thus, `%` of `Mg` used for
`Mg_(3)N_(2) = (6)/((6+16)) xx 100 = 27.27%`

When dissolved in dilute `H_(2)SO_(4), 0.275 g` of metal evolved `119.7 mL` of `H_(2)` at `20^(@)C` and `780.4 mm` pressure. `H_(2)` was collected over water. Aqueous tension is `17.4` mm at `20^(@)C`. Calculate equivalent weight of metal.

Answer» Mole of `H_(2(n))=(PV)/(RT)`
`=((780.4-17.4)xx119.7)/(760xx1000xx0.0821xx293)=5xx10^(-3)`
Let eq.wt. of metal be `E`.
Eq. of metal =Eq. of `H_(2)`
`0.275/E`= mole of `H_(2)xx2=2xx5xx10^(-3)`
`E=27.52`

A `100.0 mL` solution containing `HCl` and `HBr` was titrated with `0.1235 M NaOH`. The volume of base required to neutralise the acid was `47.14 mL`. Aqueous `AgNO_(3)` was then added to precipitate `Cl^(-)` and `Br^(-)` ions as `AgCl` and `AgBr`. The mass of silver halides obrained was `0.9974 g`. What were the molarities of `HCl` and `HBr` in solution?

Answer» Let `a M HCl` and `bMHBr` be molarities.
Meq. of `HCl+Meq. of HBr=Meq. of NaOH`
`axx100+bxx100= 0.1235xx47.14=5.82`
`a+b= 5.82xx10^(-2)`…..(i)
Also Meq. of `HCl+` Meq. Of `HBr=`Meq. of halide `AgCl+Meq`. of halide `AgBr`
`=axx100+bxx100`
`:. "Total weight"=(axx100xx143.5)/(1000)+(bxx100xx188)/(1000)`
`=0.9974`
or `143.5a+188b= 9.9974`....(ii)
By eqn. (i) and (ii),
`a=0.036M, b=0.022M`
