A `5.00 g` sample of vinegar is titrated with `0.108 M NaOH`. If the vinger requires `39.1 mL` of the `NaOH` for complete reaction, the mass percentage of acetic acid `(CH_(3)CO_(2)H)` in the vinegar isA. 0.0605B. 0.0407C. 0.0786D. 0.0506

Answer» Correct Answer - 4
The reaction is
`CH_(3)CO_(2)H(aq.)+NaOH(aq.) rarr CH_(3)CObar(O)Na^(+)(aq.)+H_(2)O(l)`
Convert the volume of NaOH to moles of NaOH using the molarity formula. Then we convert moles NaOH to moles `CH_(3)CO_(2)H` using the balanced chemical equation. Finally we covert moles `CH_(3)CO_(2)H` to grams `CH_(3)CO_(2)H`.
Mass percentage of acetic acid in the vinegar
`=("Mass of acetic acid")/("Mass of vinegar")xx100`
`n_(NaOH)=V_(NaOH "soln")xxM_(NaOH "soln")`
`=(39.1xx10^(-3)L)(0.108 mol L^(-1))`
`=4.22xx10^(-3) mol`
According to equation, moles of `CH_(3)CO_(2)H` and `NaOH` reacting are equal. Thus
`n_(CH_(3)COOH)=n_(NaOH)=4.22xx10^(-3) mol`
`mass_(CH_(3)CO_(2)H)=n_(CH_(3)CO_(2)H)xx "molar mass"_(CH(3)CO_(2)H)`
`=(4.22xx10^(-3) mol)(60 g mol^(-1))`
`=0.253 g`
Thus mass% `=(0.253 g)/(5.00 g)xx100%=5.06%`

An organic compound `C_xH_(2y)O_y` was burnt with twice the amount of oxygen needed for complete combustion to `CO_2` and `H_2O`. The hot gases when cooled to `0^@C` and 1 atm pressure, measured `2.24` litre. The water collected during cooling weighed 0.9 gm. the vapour pressure of pure water at `20^@C` is 17.5 mm Hg and is lowered by 0.104 mm when 50 gm of the organic compound is dissolved in 1000 gm of water. Give the molecular formula of the organic compound.

Answer» Correct Answer - `C_(5)H_(10)O_(5)`
`C_xH_(2y)O_y+2xO_2 hArrxCO_2+yH_2O+xO_2`
After cooling only `CO_(2)` and `O_(2)` are present because water is in liquid form.
Thus, moles of gases after cooling =`x + x =2x`
Volume of gases after cooling =`2.24 L`
`2x=2.24 L`
`x=1.12 L`
Number of moles of `CO_(2)=1.12/2.24 =0.5 mol`
Hence, the empirical formula of organic compound is `C(H_(2)O)`
Given, Vapour pressure of pure water `(P^(@))=17.5 mm Hg`
Lowering of vapour pressure `(P^(@)-P)=0.104 mm Hg`
weight of solute `(W_(2)) =50 g`
weight of solvent `(W_(1)) =1000 g`
`(P^(@)-P)/ P^(@)=(W_(2) xx Mw_(1))/(Mw_(1) xx W_(1))`
`0.104/17.5=(50 xx 18)/(Mw_(2) xx 1000)`
`Mw_(2)=(900 xx 17.5)/104=151.4 g`
Empirical formula weight =`C(H_(2)O)`
=`12 +2 +16 =30`
Molecular weight (m)=151.4 g`
`n=("Molecular weight")/("Empirical formula weight")`
=`151.4/30 =5.04 =5`
Thus, molecular formula =`[C(H_(2)O]_(5)=C_(5)H_(10)O_(5)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`N_(1)V_(1) = N_(2)V_(2)`
`(N)/(2) xx V_(1) = (N)/(10) xx 500`
`V_(1) = 100`
Vol of `N//10` solution `= 500 cm^(3)`
Vol. of `N//2` solution `= 100 cm^(3)`
`:.` Water to be added `= (500 - 100) cm^(3) = 400 cm^(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-) + 14H^(+) +6e^(-) rarr 2Cr^(3+) +7H_(2)O`
Eq. mass of `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) = ("Mol. mass")/(6) = (294.19)/(6)`
`=49.03`
Mass of `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)` required to prepare 1L of `0.1N K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)` solution `= 4.903g`
1164.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Ionic strength is half of the sum of all the terms obtained by multiplying the molality of each ion by the square of its valency.
`1 = (1)/(2) (m_(1)z_(1)^(2) +m_(2)z_(2)^(2)+m_(3)z_(3)^(2)+m_(4)z_(4)^(2))`
Here for `K^(+)` ion,
`m_(1) = 0.1 m, z_(1) = 1`
For `CI^(-)` ion,
`m_(2) = 0.1m, z_(2) = 1`
For `Cu^(2+)` ion,
`m_(3) = 0.2m, z_(3) = 2`
For `SO_(4)^(2-)` ion
`m_(4) = 0.2 m, z_(4) = 2`
`:. 1 =(1)/(2)[0.1 xx 1^(2) +0.1 xx 1^(2) +0.2 xx 2^(2) +0.2 xx 2^(2)]`
`= (1)/(2) [0.1 +0.1 +0.8 +0.8]`
`= (1.8)/(2) = 0.9`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`n(HCI) = (3.65)/(36.5) = 0.1mol`
`n(H_(2)O) = (16.2)/(18) = 0.9` mol
`X (HCI) = (n(HCI))/(n(HCI)+n(H_(2)O))`
`= (0.1)/(0.1+0.9) = 0.1`

The boiling point of a solution made by dissolving `12.0 g` of glucose in `100 g` of water is `100.34^(@)C`. Calculate the molecular weight of glucose, `K_(b)` for water `= 0.52^(@)C//m`.

Answer» Using the relation for the molecular weight of a solute from elevation in boiling point, we have

`F_(3)CI_(3)` on reaction with `K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]` in aqueous solution gives blue colour. These are separeted by a semipermeable membrene. Will tere be the appearance of a blue colour on the side X due to osmosis ?

Answer» Osmosis will take place from te side Y to the side X because 0.01 M `FeCI_(3)` solution is less concentrated. But there will be no formation of blue colour on the side X. Actually, only molecules/particles of water (solvent) will pass through the semipermeable membreane. Neither the `Fe^(3+)` ions nor the `CI^(-)` ions will be able to migrate. Therefore, no chemical reaction will occur and no colour change will take place.

A solution sontaining 10.2 g of elycring pe litre is found to be isotonic with 2% solution of glucose `("molar mass"=180 g mol^(-1))`. Calculate the molar mass of glycrine.

Answer» Since solution are isotonic ,`pi_("glycerine")=pi_("glucose")`
`pi_("glycerine")=(W_(B)xxRxxT)/(M_(B)xxV)`
`W_(B)=10.2g, V=1 L`
`pi_("glycerine")=((10.2g)xxRxxT)/((M_(B))xx(1L))`
`pi_("glucose")=(W_(B)xxRxxT)/(M_(B)xxV)`
` W_(B)=2g, M_(B)=(180 gmol^(-1),V=100 mL=0.1L`
`pi("glucose")=((2g)xxRxxT)/((180g mol^(-1))xx(0.1L))`
Equating eqns, (I) and (II):
` ((10.2g)xxRxxT)/((M_(B))xx(1L))=((2g)xxRxxT)/((180g mol^(-1))xx(0.1L))`
`M_(B)=((10.2g)xx(180g mol^(-1))xx(0.1L))/((1L)xx(2g))=91.8 g mol^(-1)`
Molar mass of glycerisng= 91.8 g `mol^(-1)`
1189.

102% solution of glycerine and 2% solution of glucose are isotonic. Molecular mass of glucose is 180 then find out the molecular mass of glycerine.

Answer» `pi_("glycerine")=pi_("glucose")`
`:. C_(("glycerine"))=C_(("glucose"))`
`=(1.02xx1000)/(m_("glycerine")xx100)=(2xx1000)/(180xx100)`
`m_("glycerine")=91.8`.

The solution which boil at constant temperature like a pure liquid and possess same composition in liquid as well as vapour state are called azeotropes. The components of azetropes cannot be separated by fractional distillation. Only non-ideal solutions form azeotropes. Solutions with negative deviation form maximum boiling azeotrope and the solutions with positive deviation form minimum boiling azeotrope. The boiling point of an azeotrope is never equal to the boiling points of any of the components of the azeotrope.
