[Given: Molal elevation constant of water Kb = 0.5 K kg mol–1 boiling point of pure water = 100oC]


Answer: 106

ΔTb = iKbm

α = i-1 / n-1

0.1 = i-1 / 3-1 {AB2 ⇌ A2+ + 2B}

i = 1.2

ΔTb = 1.2 × 0.5 × 10 = 6

Question 26. For the reaction A(g) ⇌ B(g) at 495 K, ΔrGo = –9.478 kJ mol–(1)

If we start the reaction in a closed container at 495 K with 22 millimoles of A, the amount of B in the equilibrium mixture is ________millimoles. (Round off to the nearest Integer).

[R = 8.314] mol–1 K–1; ln 10 = 2.303]


Answer: 20

ΔG° = –RT ln Keq

–9.478 × 103 = –495 × 8.314 ln Keq

ln Keq = 2.303 = ln10

So, Keq = 10

Now,

A(g) B(g)

t = 0 22 0

t = t 22–x x

Keq = [B] / [A] = X / (22-X) = 10

x = 20

So, millimoles of B = 20

[Use : √3 = 1.73, h = 6.63×10–34 Js

me = 9.1×10-31 kg; c = 3.0×108ms–1; 1eV = 1.6×10–19J]


Answer: 9

λ = 248 × 10–9m

w0 = 3 × 1.6 × 10–19 J

E = w0 + K.E.

hc / λ = W0 + K.E.

K.E =

\(\begin{array}{l}K.E = \frac{6.626\times 10\frac{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{248} – 3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\end{array} \)

= 3.2 × 10–19J

P = √2mK.E.

P =

\(\begin{array}{l}\sqrt{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times3.2\times10^{-19}}\end{array} \)

P = 7.63 × 10–25

\(\begin{array}{l}\lambda = \frac{h}{p}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}}{7.63\times 10^{-25}}\end{array} \)

λ = 8.7 × 10–10 = 8.7Å 9

[Atomic masses : K : 39.0 u; O: 16.0 u; H: 1.0 u]


Answer: 9

\(\begin{array}{l}m = \frac{1000\times M}{1000\times d-M\times M_{solute}}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}6.5 = \frac{1000\times M}{1890\times M\times 56}\end{array} \)

12285 – 364M = 1000M

1364 M = 12285

M = 9

Question 29. Two salts A2X and MX have the same value of solubility product of 4.0×10–12. The ratio of their molar solubilities i.e.

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{S(A_{2}X)}{S(MX)}\end{array} \)
= _____________. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).


Answer: 50

A2X(s) ⇌ 2A+(aq) + X2–(aq)

Solubility: (x) mole / L (2x) (x)

⇒ Ksp = 4 × 10–12 = [A+]2 [X] = 4x3

⇒ x = 10–4 =

\(\begin{array}{l}S_{A_{2}X}\end{array} \)

MX(s) ⇌ M+(aq) + X(aq)

Solubility: (y) mole / L (y) (y)

⇒ Ksp =× 4 10–12 = [M+][X] = y2

⇒ y = 2 × 10–6 = SMX

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{S(A_{2}X)}{S(MX)} = \frac{10^{-4}}{2\times 10^{-6}} = 50\end{array} \)

Question 30: The decomposition of formic acid on gold surface follows first order kinetics. If the rate constant at 300 K is 1.0×10–3 s–1 and the activation energy Ea = 11.488 kJ mol–1, the rate constant at 200 K is __________×10–5 s–1.(Round off to the Nearest Integer).


Answer: 10

\(\begin{array}{l}log\frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}}= \frac{E_{a}}{2.303R}\left [ \frac{1}{T_{1}} = \frac{1}{T_{2}}\right]\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}log\frac{1.0\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}{K_{1}}=\frac{11.488\times 1000}{2.303\times 8.314}\left [\frac{1}{200}- \frac{1}{300}\right ]\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}log\frac{10^{-3}}{K_{1}}=600\times \frac{3-2}{600}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}log\frac{10^{-3}}{K_{1}}=1\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}10 = \frac{10^{-3}}{K_{1}}\end{array} \)

⇒ K1 = 10–4

So, x × 10–5 = 10–4 ⇒ x = 10

(Given: R = 8.314 J Mol–1 K–1)
