Anhydrous `AlCl_(3)` is covalent. From the date given below, predict whether it would remain covalent or become ionic in aqueous solution. (Ionisation energy for `Al` is `1537 kJ mol^(-1)`) `Delta_("hydration") for Al^(3+) = - 4665 kJ mol^(-1)` `Delta_("hydration") for Cl^(Ө) = - 381 kJ mol^-1`.

Answer» Correct Answer - IONIC
Total hydration energy of `Al^(3+)` and `3 Cl^(-)` ions of `AlCl_(3). (Delta H_("Hydration")) = ` Hydration energy of `Al^(3+) + 3 xx` Hydration energy of `Cl^(-)`
`=[-4665 + 3 xx (-381) ] kJ mol^(-1) = - 5880 kJ mol^(-1)`
This amount of energy exceeds the energy needed for the isonisation of `Al` to `Al^(3+)` (i.e., `5808 gt 5137`). Beacuse of this `AlCL_(3)` becomes less ionic in aqueous solution. In aqueous solution `AlCl_(3)` exists in ionic form as `[Al (H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)` and `3 Cl^(-)`
`AlCl_(3) + 6H_(2)O rarr [Al (H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+) + 3Cl^(-)`
`AlCl_(3) + aq rarr AlCl_(3) (aq) , Delta H = ?`
`Delta H =` (Energy released during hydration) - (Energy used during hydration)
`(-4665) - (3 xx 381) + 5137 = - 671 kJ mol^(-1)` Thus, formation of ions will take places.

`dW=pdV=(10xx10^(5))(10.2-10)= 2xx10^(5)J`
`= (2xx10^(5))/(4186)Kcal= 48 Kcal`
From first law of thermodynamics,
`dU=dQ-dW= 100-48= 52 Kcal`

Find the emtropy increment of one mole of carbon dioxide when its absolute temperature increases `n = 2.0` times if the process of heating is (a) isochoric , (b) isobaric. The gas is to be regarded a ideal.

Answer» (a) In an isochoric process the entropy change will be
`Delta S = int_(T_i)^(T_f) (C_V dT)/(T) = C_V 1n (T_f)/(T_i) = C_V 1n n = (R 1n n)/(gamma -1)`
For carbon dioxide `gamma = 1.30`
so, `Delta S = 19.2 "Joule"//.^@K - "mole"`
(b) For an isobaric process,
`Delta S = C_p 1n(T_f)/(T_i) = C_p 1n n = (gamma R 1n n)/(gamma -1)`
=`25 "Joule"//.^@K - "mole"`.

In which case will the efficiency of a carnot cycle be higher : When the hot body temperature is increased by `Delta T`, or when the cold body temperature is decreased by the same magnitude ?

Answer» The efficiency is given is
`eta = (T_1 - T_2)/(T_1), T_1 gt T_2`
Now in the two cases the efficiencies are
`eta_h = (T_1 + Delta T - T_2)/(T_1 + Delta T), T_1` encreased
`eta_l = (T_1 - T_2 + Delta T)/(T_1), T_2` decreased
Thus `eta_h lt n_l`.

Answer» If the force exerted is `F` then the law of variation of concentration with height reads
`n(Ƶ) = n_0 e^(- F Ƶ//kT)` So, `eta = e^(F Delta h//kT)` or `F = (kT 1n eta)/(Delta h) = 9 xx 10^-20 N`.

From the conditions of the foregoing problem find : (a) the number of molecules whose potential energy lies within the internal from `U` to `U + dU` , (b) the most probable value of the potential energy of a molecule , compare this value with the potential energy of a molecule located at its most probable distance from the centre of the field.

Answer» Write `U = ar^2`or `r = sqrt((U)/(a))`, so `dr = sqrt((1)/(a)) (dU)/(2 sqrt(U)) = (dU)/(2 sqrt(a U))`
so `dN n_0 4 pi(U)/(a) (dU)/(2 sqrt(a U)) exp ((U)/(kT))`
=`2 pi n_0 a^(-3//2) U^(1//2) exp ((-U)/(kT)) dU`
The most probable value of `U` is given by
`(d)/(dU) ((dN)/(dU)) = 0 ((1)/(2 sqrt(u)) -U^(1//2)/(kT)) exp ((-U)/(kT))`or `U_(pr) = (1)/(2) kT`
From `2.111 (b)`, the potential energy at the most probable distance is `kT`.

Answer» Simiarly the number of molecules reaching the wall (per unit area of the wall with velocities in the interval `v` to `v + dv` per unit time is
`dv = int_(theta = 0)^(theta = pi//2) dn (v) (d Omega)/(4 pi) v cos 0`
=`int_(theta = 0)^(theta = pi//2) n((m)/(2 pi kT))^(3//2) e^(-mv^2//kT) v^3 dv sin theta cos theta d theta xx 2pi`
=`n pi ((m)/(2 pi kT))^(3//2) e^(-mv^2//2kT) v^3 dv`.
478.

What fraction of molecules in a gas at a temperature `T` has the kinetic energy of translational motion exceeding `epsilon_0` if `epsilon_0 gt gt k T` ?

Answer» `(Delta N)/(N) = (2)/(sqrt(pi)) (kT)^(-3//2) int_0^oo sqrt(epsilon) e^(-epsilon//kT) d epsilon`
`~~ (2)/(sqrt(pi)) (kT)^(-3//2) sqrt(epsilon_0) int_(epsilon_0)^oo e^(-epsilon//kT) d epsilon(epsilon_0 gt gt kT)`
=`(2)/(sqrt(pi)) (kT)^(-3//2) sqrt(epsilon_0) kT e^(-epsilon_0//kT) = 2 sqrt((epsilon_0)/(pi kT)) e^(-epsilon_0//kT)`
(In evaluating the integral, we have taken out `sqrt(epsilon)` as `sqrt(epsilon_0)` since the integral is dominated by the lower limit).

Calculate the most probable, the mean, and the root mean square velocities of a molecule of a gas whose density under standard atmospheric pressure is equal to `rho = 1.00 g//1`.

Answer» `v_p = sqrt((2 kT)/(m)) = sqrt((2 RT)/(M)) = sqrt((2 p)/(rho)) = 0.45 km//s`,
`v_(av) = sqrt((8)/(pi) (p)/(rho)) = .51 km//s` and `v_(rms) = sqrt((3 p)/(rho)) = 0.55 km//s`.
480.

Determine the gas temperature at which (a) the root mean square velocity of hydrogen molecules exceeds their most probable velocity by `Delta v = 400 m//s` , (b) the velocity distribution function `F (v)` for the oxygen molecules will have the maximum value at the velocity `v = 420 m//s`.

Answer» (a) `v_(rms) = v_p = (sqrt(3) - sqrt(2)) sqrt((k T)/(m)) = Delta v`,
`T = (m)/(k) ((Delta v)/((sqrt(3) - sqrt(2))))^2//K = 384 K`
(b) Clearly `v` is the most probable speed at this temperature. So
`sqrt((2 kT)/(m)) = v` or `T = (mv^2)/(2 k) = 342 K`.
481.

In the case of gaseous nitrogen find : (a) the temperature at which the velocities of the molecules `v_1 = 300 m//s` and `v_2 = 600 m//s` are associated with equal values of the Maxwell distribution friction `F (v)` , (b) the velocity of the molecules `v` at which the value of the Maxwell distribution function `F (v)` for the temperature `T_0` will be the same as that for the temperature `eta` times higher.

Answer» (a) We have,
`(v_1^2)/(v_p^2) e^(-v_1^2//v_p^2) = (v_2^2)/(v_p^2) e^(-v_2^2//v_p^2)` or `((v_1)/(v_2))^2 = e^(v_1^2 - v_2^2//v_p^2)` or `v_p^2 = (2 kT)/(m) = (v_1^2 - v_2^2)/((1 n v_1^2//v_2^2))`
So `T = (m(v_1^2 - v_2^2))/(2 k 1n (v_1^2)/v_2^2) = 330 K`
(b) `F (v)=(4)/(sqrt(pi)) (v^2)/(v_p^2) e^(-v^2//v_p^2) xx (1)/(v_p) ((1)/(v_p)` comes from `F(v) dv = df (u), du = (dv)/(v_p))`
Thus `(v^2)/(v^3) e^(-v^2//v^2) p_1 = v^2//v_(p_2) e^(-v_2//v_(2_2)) v_(p_1)^2 = (2 kT_0)/(m), v_(p_2)^2 = (2 kT_0)/(m) eta ` now
`e -(mv^2)/(2 kT_0)(1 - (1)/(eta)) = (1)/(eta^(3//2))` or `(mv^2)/(2 kT_0)(1 - (1)/(eta)) = (3)/(2) 1n eta`
Thus `v = sqrt((3 kT_0)/(m)) sqrt((1 n eta)/(1 - 1//eta))`.
482.

Find the fraction of gas molecules whose velocities differ by less than `delta eta = 1.00 %` from the value of (a) the most probable velocity , (b) the root mean square velocity.

Answer» (a) The formula is
`df (u) = (4)/(sqrt(pi)) u^2 e^(-u^2) du`, where `u = (v)/(v_p)`
Now prob `(|v - v_p|/(v_p) lt delta eta) = int_(1 - delta eta)^(1 + delta eta) df (u)`
=`(4)/(sqrt(pi)) e^(-1) xx 2 delta eta = (8)/(sqrt(pi) e) delta eta = 0.0166`
(b) `Prob (|(v - v_rms)/(v_(rms))| lt delta eta) = Prob(|(v)/(v_p) - v_(rms)/(v_p)|lt delta eta (v_(rms))/(v_p))`
=`Prob (|u - sqrt((3)/(2))| lt sqrt((3)/(2)) delta eta)`
`sqrt((3)/(2)) + sqrt((3)/(2)) delta eta`
=`int (4)/(sqrt(4)) u^2 e^(- u^2) du`
`sqrt((3)/(2)) - sqrt((3)/(2)) delta eta`
=`(4)/(sqrt(pi)) xx (3)/(2) e^(-3//2) xx 2 sqrt((3)/(2)) delta eta = (12 sqrt(3))/(sqrt(2 pi)) e^(-3//2) delta eta = 0.0185`.
483.

What fraction of monatomic molecules of a gas a in a thermal equilibrium possesses kinetic energies differenting from the mean value by `delta eta = 1.0 %` and less ?

Answer» The mean kinetic energy is
`lt epsilon gt = int_0^oo epsilon^(3//2) e^(- epsilon//kT)// int_0^oo epsilon^(1//2) e^(-epsilon//kT) d epsilon = kT (Gamma(5//2))/(Gamma(3//2)) = (3)/(2) kT`
Thus
`(delta N)/(N) = int_((3)/(2)kT(1 - delta eta))^((3)/(2)(1 + delta eta)kT) (2)/(sqrt(pi)) (kT)^(-3//2) e^(-epsilon//kT) epsilon^(1//2) epsilon`
=`(2)/(sqrt(pi)) e^(-3//2) ((3)/(2))^(3//2) 2 delta eta = 3 sqrt((6)/(pi)) e^(3//2) delta eta`
If `delta eta = 1 %` this gives `0.9 %`.
484.

At what temperature of a nitrogen and oxygen mixture do the most probable velocities of nitrogen and oxygen molecules differ by `Delta v = 30 m//s` ?

Answer» `v_(pN) = sqrt((2 kT)/(m N)) = sqrt((2 RT)/(M_N)), v_(p_0) = sqrt((2 RT)/(M_0))`
`v_(P_N) - v_(p_0) = Delta v = sqrt((2 RT)/(M_N))(1 - sqrt((M_N)/(M_0)))`
`T = (M_N (Delta v)^2)/(2 R(1 - sqrt((M_N)/(M_0)))^2) = (m_N(Delta v)^2)/(2k(1 - sqrt((m_N)/(M_0)))^2) = 363 K`.
485.

At what temperature of a gas will the number of molecules, whose velocities fall within the given interval from `v` to `v + dv`, be the greatest ? The mass of each molecule is equal to `m`.

Answer» `dN (v) = (N 4)/(sqrt(pi)) (v^2 dv)/(v_p^3) e^(-v^2//v_p^2)`
For a given `v` to `v + dv` (i.e., given `v` and `dv`) this is maximum when
`(delta)/(delta v_p) (dN(v))/(N v^2 dv) = 0 = (-3 v_p^-4 + (2 v^2)/(v_p^6)) e ^(-v^2//v_p^2)`
or, `v^2 = (3)/(2) v_p^2 = (3 kT)/(m)`. Thus `T = (1)/(3) (mv^2)/(k)`.
486.

A gas consists of molecules of mass `m` and is at a temperature `T`. Making use of the Maxwell velocity distribution function, find the corresponding distribution of the molecules over the kinetic energies `epsilon`. Determine the most probable value of a gas the kinetic energy `epsilon_p`. Does `epsilon_p` correspond to the most probable velocity ?

Answer» `dN (v) = N((m)/(2 pi kT))^(3//2) e^(-mv^2//2kT) 4 pi v^2 dv = dN(epsilon) = (dN(epsilon))/(d epsilon) d epsilon`
or, `(dN(epsilon))/(d epsilon) = N((m)/(2 pi kT))^(3//2) e^(-mv^2//2RT) 4 pi v^2 (dv)/(d epsilon)`
Now, `epsilon = (1)/(2) mv^2` so `(dv)/(d epsilon) = (1)/(mv)`
or, `(dN(epsilon))/(d epsilon) = N((m)/(2 pi kT))^(3//2) e^(- epsilon//kT) 4 pi sqrt((2 epsilon)/(m))(1)/(m)`
=`N (2)/(sqrt(pi))(kT)^(-3//2) e^(-epsilon//kT) epsilon^(1//2)`
i.e., `dN (epsilon) = N(2)/(sqrt(pi)) (kT)^(-3//2) e^(- epsilon//kT) d epsilon`
The most probable kinetic energy is given from
`(d)/(d epsilon) (dN(epsilon))/(d epsilon) = 0` or, `(1)/(2) epsilon^(-1//2) e^(-epsilon//kT) - (epsilon^(1//2))/(kT) e^(epsilon//kT) = 0` or `epsilon = (1)/(2) kT = epsilon_(p r)`
The corresponding velocity is `v = sqrt((kT)/(m)) = v_(pr)`.
487.

The temperature of a hydrogen and helium mixture is `T = 300 K`. At what value of the molecules velocity `v` will the Maxwell distribution function `F (v)` yield the same magnitude for both gases ?

Answer» `(v^2)/(v_(P_H)^3) e^(-v^2//v_(P_H)^2) = (v^2)/(v_(P_(H_e))^3) e^(-v^2//v_(P_(H_e))^2)` or `e^(v^2((.^m He)/(2 kT) -(.^m H)/(2 kT)))=((.^mHe)/(.^m H))^(3//2)`
`v^2 = 3kT (1 n^m He//^m H)/(m_(H_e) -m_H)`, Putting the values we get `v = 1.60 km//s`.
