What is a vapour pressure of liquid? What is relative lowering of vapour pressure?

Answer»

1. The pressure of the vapour in equilibrium with its liquid is called vapour pressure of the liquid at the given temperature.

2. The relative lowering of vapour pressure is defined as the ratio of lowering of vapour. pressure to vapour pressure of pure solvent. Relative lowering of vapour pressure

= (P°solvent - P°soluation) / P°solven

1552.

Explain the effect of pressure on the solubility.

Answer»

1. The change in pressure does not have any significant effect in the solubility of solids and liquids as they are not compressible. However the solubility of gases generally increases with increase of pressure.

2. According to Le – chatlier’s principle, the increase in pressure will shift the equilibrium in the direction which will reduce the pressure. Therefore, more number of gaseous molecules dissolves in the solvent.

3. If pressure increases, solubility of gas also increases.

A sample of 12 M Concentrated hydrochloric acid has a density 1.2g L-1 . Calculate the molality.

Answer»

Given: 

Molarity = 12 M HCI 

Density of the solution = 1.2 g L-1 

In 12 M HCl solution, there are 12 moles of HCl in 1 litre of the solution.

Molality = (No. of moles of solute) / (Mass of solvent(in Kg.))

Calculate mass of water (solvent) 

Mass of 1 liter HCI solution = density x volume 

= 1.2g mL-1 x 1000 mL 

= 1200g

Mass of HCI = (No. of moles of HCI) x (molar mass of HCI) 

= 12 mol x 36.5 g mol-1 

= 438g

Mass of waler = (mass of HCI solution) – (mass of HCI) 

= 1200 – 438 

= 762 g

Molalily = 12/0.762 = 15.75 m

1554.

Define 1. Molality 2. Normality

Answer»

1. Molality (m): It is defined as the number of moles of the solute present in 1 kg of the solvent.

m = (Number of moles of solute) / (Mass of the solvent (in kg)

2. Normality (N): It is defined as the number of gram equivalents of solute in 1 litre of the solution.

N = (Number of gram equivalent of solute) / (Volume of soluation (in L)

When 2.0g of a non-volatile solute was dissolved in 90 gm of benzene, the boiling point of benzene is raised by 0.88K. Which of the following may be the solute? `K_(b)` for benzene `=2.53 K kg mol^(-1))`A. `CO(NH_(2))_(2)`B. `C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)`C. `NaCI`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`Na^(+)Cl^(-)` an ionic solid is not soluble in benzene
`therefore Delta T_(b)=K_(b)xxm`
`m=(Delta T_(b))/(K_(b))=(0.88)/(2.53)=0.348`
`m = (wxx1000)/(MxxW)`
`0.348=(2xx1000)/(Mxx90)`
`(["W = mass of solvent, w = mass of solute"])/(M = (2xx1000)/(90xx0.348)=63.86)`
Molar mass of urea, `CO(NH_(2))_(2)`
`=12+16+(14+2)xx2`
`=28+32=60 gmol^(-1)`
`therefore` Solute is urea (A)

A very small amount of a non-volatile solute (that does not dissociate) is dissolved in `56.8 cm^(3)` of benzene (density `0.889 g cm^(3))`. At room temperature, vapour pressure of this solution is `98.88 mm Hg` while that of benzene is `100 mm Hg` . Find the molality of this solution. If the freezing temperature of this solution is `0.73` degree lower than that of benzene, what is the value of molal the freezing point depression constant of benzene?

Answer» `(Deltap)/(p_(0))=x_(B)`
`(100-98.8)/(100)=x_(B)`
`x_(B)=0.012`
Molality `= (x_(B)xx1000)/((1-x_(B))m_(A))=(0.012xx1000)/(0.988xx78)=0.1557`
`DeltaT=K_(f)xx` Molality
`0.73=K_(f)xx0.1557`
`K_(f)=4.688`.

A system of greater disorder of molecules is more probable. The disorder of molecules is reflected by the entropy of the system. A liquid vapourizes to form a more disordered gas. When a solute is present, there is additional contribution to the entropy of the liquid due to increased randomness. As the entropy of solution is higher than that of pure liquid, there is weaker tendency to form the gas. Thus, a solute (non-volatile) lowers the vapour pressure of a liquid, and hence a higher boiling point of the solution. Similarly, the greater randomness of the solution opposes the tendercy to freeze. In consequence, a lower temperature must be reached for achieving the equilibrium between the solid (frozen solvent) and the solution. The elevation in boiling point `(DeltaT_(b))` and depression in freezing point `(DeltaT_(f))` of a solution are the colligative properties which depend only on the concentration of particles of the solute and not their identity. For dilute solutions, `(DeltaT_(b))` and `(DeltaT_(f))` are proportional to the molarity of the solute in the solution. A liquid possessing which of the following characteristics will be most suitable for determining the molecular mass of a compound by cryoscopic measurements?A. That having low freezing point and small enthhalpy of freezingB. That having high freezing point and small enthhalpy of freezingC. Greater than the normal boiling point of either of the liquid.D. Smaller than the normal boiling point of either of the liquid.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
If `DeltaT_(f)` is high less error will be in measurement, also `K_(f)` should be high.
Therefore, `T_(f)` should be high and `Delta_(fus)H` should be low.

The vapour pressure of the solutionA. decreases to a constant valueB. increases to a constant valueC. increases and then decreasesD. remains constant as `Hgl_(2)` is sparingly soluble in water

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`2NaI_(2) + HgI_(2) rarr Na_(2)Hgl_(4)`
As `HgI_(2)` is added, the number of molecules will decrease due to the formation of `Na_(2)Hgl_(4)`. Therefore, pressure will increase. As more `HgI_(2)` is added, pressure will remain constant (and`Nal` is consumed) after that as `HgI_(2)` is sparingly soluble.

A solution M is prepared by mixing ethanol and water. The mole fraction of ethanol in the mixture is `0.9`. Given : Freezing point depression constant of water `(K_(f)^("water")) = 1.86 K "mol"^(-1)` Freezing point depression constant of ethanol `(K_(f)^("ethonal")) = 2.0 K kg "mol"^(-1)` Boiling point elevation constant of water `(K_(b)^("water")) = 0.52 K kg "mol"^(-1)` Boiling point elevation constant of ethanol `(K_(b)^("ethonal")) = 1.2 K kg mol^(-1)` Standard freezing point of water `= 273 K` Standard freezing point of ethonal `= 155.7 K` Standard boiling point of water `= 373 K` Standard boiling point of ethanol `= 351.5 K` Vapour pressure of pure water `= 32.8 mm Hg` Vapour pressure of pure ethonal `= 40 mm Hg` Molecular weight of water `= 18 g "mol"^(-1)` Molecular weight of ethonal `= 45 g"mol"^(-1)` In answering the following questions, consider the solution to be ideal ideal solutions and solutes to be non-volatile and non-dissociative. Water is added to the solution M such lthat the molecules fraction of water in t he solution becomes `0.9`. The boiling point of this solution is :A. 380.4 KB. 376.2KC. 375.5 KD. 354.7K

The relative lowering of vapour pressure of an aqueous solution containing a non-volatile solute, is 0.0125. The molality of the solution is

Answer» c. As we know
`(P^(@) - P)/P^(@) = chi_(2)` = mole fraction of solute
The ration `(P^(@)-P)//P^(@)` is the relative lowering of vapour pressure, which is equal to `0.0125` here.
`:. chi_(2) = 0.0125`
The relation between `m` and `chi` is:
`m=(chi_(2) xx 1000)/(chi_(1) xx Mw_(1)) = (0.0125 xx 1000)/(( 1- 0.0125 xx 18))` `[{:(,Mw_((H_(2)O))),(=,18g mol^(-1)):}]`
` = (0.0125 xx 1000)/(0.9875 xx 18)`
=`0.70`
` :. m =0.70`

What is the molarityk and molality of a 13% solution (by weight) of sulphric acid with a density of `1.02 mL^(-1)`? To what volume should `100 mL` of this acid be diluted in order to preapre a `1.5 N` solution?

Answer» Correct Answer - Molality=`1.52 m`;`normality=2.70 V=180 L`
Molarity =`(% "by weight" xx "Density" xx 10)/("Molecular weight")`
=`(13 xx 1.02 xx 10)/98`
=`132.6/98`
=`1.35 M`
`13%` solution by weight means that `13 g` of solute is dissolved in `87 g` of solvent.
Thus, molality =(`("Weight of solute")/("Molecular weight of solute"))/("Weight of solvent")xx1000`
=`(13/98)/87xx1000`
=`(13 xx 1000)/(98 xx 87)`
=`1.52 m`
Normality = Molarity `xx` Ew factor
`:. N=1.35 xx 2=2.70N`
For dilution
`N_(1)V_(1)=N_(2)V_(2)`
`100 xx 2.70N =1.5 N xx V_(2)`
`V_(2)=180 mL`
So, the acid should be diluted upto `180 mL` to prepare `1.5 N` solution.

The density of 2.0 M solution of a solute is 1.2 g `mL^(-1)`. If the molecular mass of the solute is 100 g `mol^(-1)`, then the molality of the solution is :A. 2.0 mB. 1.2 mC. 0.6 mD. 2.4 m.

Answer» Correct Answer - a
Volume of solution containing 2 moles of solute =1L =1000 mL
mass of solution =`Vxxd`
=`1000mL xx1.2 g mL^(-1)=1200 g`
Molality of solvent =1000 g=1.0 kg.
`"Molality of solution (m)"=("No. of moles of colute")/("Mass of solvent in kg")`
`=((2 moles))/(1 kg)=2 "mol kg"^(-1)=2.0 m`

0.5 molar aqueous solution of a weak acid (HX) is 20% ionised. If `K_(f)` for water is `1.86 K kg mol^(-1)`, the lowering in freezing point of the solution isA. `-0.56K`B. `-1.12K`C. `0.56K`D. `1.12K`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`{:(,"HX",hArr,H^(+)+,X^(-)),("Initial","1 mole",,,),("After ionization",1-a,,a,a):}`
Total no. of moles at equilibrium `= 1+ alpha`
`:. i=1 +a = 1+ 0.20 = 1.20`
`Delta T_(f) = iK_(f)m`
`=1.20 xx 1.80 xx 0.5 = 1.20K`.

In a `0.2` molal aqueous solution of weak acid `HX` (the degree of dissociation `0.3`) the freezing point is (given `K_(f) = 1.85 K molality^(-1)`):A. `+0.480^(@)C`B. `-0.480^(@)C`C. `-0.360^(@)`D. `+0.360^(@)`

Answer» Correct Answer - 2
We have
`(DeltaT_(f))_("observed")=(K_(f))_("observed")` molality
`" "HX(aq)hArrH^(+)(aq)+X^(-)(aq)`
`{:("Moles before ionization",+,1 mol,0 mol,0 mol),("Moles after ionization",-,1-alpha mol,alpha mol,alpha mol):}`
`i=("Total moles after ionization")/("Total moles before ionozation")`
`=(1-alpha+alpha+alpha)/1=1+alpha`
`=1+0.3`
`=1.3`
we also have
`i=(K_(f) ("observed"))/(K_(f)("calculated"))`
or
`K_(f) ("observed")=i K_(f)("calculate")`
`=(1.3)(1.85)`
`=2.405`
Thus
`DeltaT_(f)=(2.405 K kg mol^(-1))(0.28 mol kg^(-1))`
`=0.481 K` or `0.481^(@)C`
Hence
Freezing point of solution =Freezing point of water `-DeltaT_(f)`
`=(0.000^(@)C)- (0.481^(@)C)`
`= -0.481^(@)C`
