Question 21. The solubility of CdSO4 in water is 8.0 × 10–4 mol L–1. Its solubility in 0.01 M H2SO4 solution is ______ × 10–6 mol L–1. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

Assume that solubility is much less than 0.01 M)


Answer: 64

CdSO4(s) ⇌ Cd+2 (aq) + SO42– (aq)

S S

S = 8 × 10–4 Ksp = S2 = 64 × 10–8

CdSO4(s) ⇌ Cd+2 + SO42–

S S + 10–2

Ksp(CdSO4) = 64 × 10–8 = s(s + 10–2)

64 × 10–8 ≃ s × 10–2

s = 64 × 10–6

Question 22. The molar conductivities at infinite dilution of barium chloride, sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid are 280, 860 and 426 S cm2 mol–1 respectively. The molar conductivity at infinite dilution of barium sulphate is _____ S cm2 mol–1. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).


Answer: 288

\(\begin{array}{l}\lambda_{M}^{\infty}(BaCl_{2}) = 280\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\lambda_{M}^{\infty}(H_{2}SO_{4}) = 860\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\lambda_{M}^{\infty}(HCl) = 426\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\lambda_{M}^{\infty}(BaSO_{4}) = ??\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\lambda_{M}^{\infty}(H_{2}SO_{4}) + \lambda_{M}^{\infty}(BaCl_{2}) – 2\times \lambda_{M}^{\infty}(HCl)\end{array} \)

= 860 + 280 – 2 × 426

= 288

Question 23. A reaction has a half life of 1 min. The time required for 99.9% completion of the reaction is _____ min. (Round off to the nearest integer) [ Use ln2 = 0.69, ln10 = 2.3]


Answer: 10

t99.9% = 10 x t(1/2) = 10 min

Derivation

\(\begin{array}{l}t_{99.9%} =\frac{1}{K}ln\left (\frac{100}{0.1} \right ) = \frac{1}{K}ln(1000)\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{3}{K}ln (10) = 3\frac{t_{1/2}}{ln(2)}\times ln(10)\end{array} \)

=

\(\begin{array}{l}3\times (1\: min)\times \frac{ln(10)}{ln(2)}\end{array} \)

=

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{3}{log(2)} = \frac{3}{0.3}; 10\: min\end{array} \)

The gas phase reaction

2A (g) → A2(g)

at 400 K has ΔGº = + 25.2 kJ mol–1

Question 24. The equilibrium constant KC for this reaction is ______ × 10–2. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

[Use : R = 8.3 J mol–1 K–1, ln 10 = 2.3

log10 2 = 0.30, 1 atm = 1 bar]

[antilog (– 0.3) = 0.501]


Answer: 2

Using formula

DG° = –RTlnKP

25200 = –2.3 × 8.3 × 400 log (KP)

KP = 10–3.3 = 10–3 × 0.501

= 5.01 × 10–4 Bar–1

= 5.01 × 10—5 × 10–4 Pa–1

=

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{K_{c}}{8.3\times 400}\end{array} \)

KC = 1.66 × 10–5m3/mole

= 1.66 × 10–2 L/mol

= 2

Answer: 1

N = ½

m = 2; Tb soln. = 100.52

ΔTb = 0.52

= i × Kb × m

0.52 = i × 0.52 × 2

i = ½ = 1 + 1 + (½ – 1)α

α/2 = ½

α = 1
