HCl(aq) + H2O (l ) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + Cl–(aq)

Label two conjugate acid-base pairs in this ionisation.

Solution:

The two conjugate acid-base pairs in the ionisation of HCl are (HCl-Cl-) in which HCl is the conjugate acid and Cl- is the conjugate base similarly the second pair is (H2O-H3O+) in which H2O is the conjugate base and H3O+ is the conjugate acid.

23. The aqueous solution of sugar does not conduct electricity. However, when sodium chloride is added to water, it conducts electricity. How will you explain this statement on the basis of ionization and how is it affected by the concentration of sodium chloride?

Solution;

The aqueous solution of sugar does not conduct electricity because they exist as a molecule in water. They don’t have free ions to conduct electricity but in the case of NaCl, free ions of Na+ and Cl- are present to conduct electricity. Conductance depends on the no. of ions present in the solution. More will the no. of ions of NaCl in water more will be the conductivity.

24. BF3 does not have proton but still acts as an acid and reacts with NH3. Why is it so? What type of bond is formed between the two?

Solution:

According to Lewis concept e- deficient species are called lewis acid so BF3 will act as a lewis acid while NH3 (N=1s2 2s2 2p3) has a lone pair so it will act as a lewis base and it will donate its lone pair to the empty p-orbital of Boron through a coordinate bond to form an adduct.

25. Ionization constant of a weak base MOH is given by the expression

Kb = [M+][OH-]/[MOH-]

Values of ionisation constant of some weak bases at a particular temperature are given below:

Base Di-methylamine Urea Pyridine Ammonia

Kb 5.4 × 10-4 1.3 × 10-14 1.77× 10-9 1.77 × 10-5

Arrange the bases in decreasing order of the extent of their ionisation at Equilibrium. Which of the above base is the strongest?

Solution:

The decreasing order of bases based on the ionisation constant at Equilibrium will be;-

Di-methylamine > Ammonia > Pyridine > Urea

The strongest base will be Di-methyl amine as its pKb value is 3.29 and we know that the less the pKb value strong is the base.

26. The conjugate acid of a weak base is always stronger. What will be the decreasing order of basic strength of the following conjugate bases?

OH-, RO-, CH3COO-, Cl-

Solution:

The conjugate base of a strong acid is weak therefore the decreasing order of basic strength will be;

RO- > OH- > CH3COO- > Cl-

28. Arrange the following in increasing order of pH

KNO3 (aq), CH3COONa (aq), NH4Cl (aq), C6 H5COONH4 (aq)

Solution:

CH3COONa< KNO3< C6H5COONH4

CH3COONa is a salt of a weak acid (CH3COOH) and strong base (NaOH)

KNO3 is a salt of strong acid (HNO3)-strong base (KOH)

C6H5COONH4 is a salt of a weak acid (benzoic acid) and weak base (NH4OH)

NH4Cl is a salt of a strong acid (HCl) and a weak base (NH4OH)

28. The value of Kc for the reaction 2HI (g) ⇋ H2 (g) + I2 (g) is 1 × 10-4

At a given time, the composition of the reaction mixture is

[HI] =2 × 10-5 mol, [H2] =1 × 10-5 mol and [I2] =1 × 10-5 mol. In which direction will the reaction proceed?

Solution:

Given that Kc = 1×10-4

Kc = [H2][I2]/[HI]2

Qc expresses the relative ratio of products to reactants at a given instant.

Qc = [H2][I2]/[HI]2

= (1×10-5)(1×10-5)/(2×10-4)

Qc = 1/4 = 0.25

Here; QC >KC Reaction will proceed in reverse direction.

29. Based on the equation pH = – log [H+], the pH of 10-8 mol dm-3 solution of HCl should be 8. However, it is observed to be less than 7.0. Explain the reason.

Solution:

The solution is very dilute here and we know that HCl reacts with water to form hydronium ion. A decrease in pH can be observed as a result of a large concentration of H+. Hydronium ion concentration also to be considered here.

Now total pH will be; [H3O+] = 10-8 + 10-7 M = 7

Hence the solution will be acidic.

30. The pH of a solution of a strong acid is 5.0. What will be the pH of the solution obtained after diluting the given solution 100 times?

Solution:

As we dilute the solution, the concentration of the solution will reduce by how much times we are diluting it.

When diluted 100 times [h+] = 10-5/100 = 10-7mol/L

And, pH Value will be = pH = -log [H+]

=-log [10-7] = 7

Hence the pH after diluting solution a hundred times will be 7.

31. A sparingly soluble salt gets precipitated only when the product of the concentration of its ions in the solution (Qsp) becomes greater than its solubility product. If the solubility of BaSO4 in water is 8 × 10-4 mol dm-3, calculate its solubility in 0.01 mol dm-3 of H2SO4.

Solution:

Given, the solubility of BaSO4 in water= 8 ×10-4 g/L

The equation of disassociation of BaSO4 will be-

BaSO4 ⇌ Ba2+ + SO42-

(S’ is the solubility of Ba2+ in 0.01 HCl)

S <<< 0.01, so it can be neglected

We know that Ksp = S2

Ksp = (8×10-8)2

= 64×10-8

Now, Ksp= (S’) (0.01)

S’ = 64.8×10-8/0.01 = 6.4×10-5

Hence solubility of BaSO4 in 0.01 mol dm-3 of H2SO4 is 6.4×10-5

32. pH of 0.08 mol dm-3 HOCl solution is 2.85. Calculate its ionisation constant.

Solution:

Given, pH =2.85 and C =0.08 mol dm-3

Now since HOCl is a weak acid its dissociation will be given as-

HOCl + H2O ⇌ H30+ + OCl-

We know that;

pH = -log [H+]

-2.85 = log [H+]
[H+] = antilog (-2.85)

[H+] = 1.41 × 10-3

We also know that, for a weak mono basic acid-

(On squaring both sides) [H+]2 = kaC

Ka = (1.41 x 10-3)2/ 0.08 = 2.5 × 10-5

Hence the ionization constant of HOCl will be 2.5 × 10-5

33. Calculate the pH of a solution formed by mixing equal volumes of two solutions A and B of a strong acid having pH = 6 and pH = 4 respectively.

Solution:

Given, pH of solution A = 6

[H+] of solution A = 10-6 mol/lit.

pH of solution B = 4

[H+] of solution B = 10-4 mol/lit.

On mixing 1L of each solution we will get total 2L of Solution.

Amount of [H+] in 1L: solution A = 10-6× 1L = 10-6

: Solution B = 10-4 × 1L = 10-4

Total [H+] in Solution = 10-6 + 10-4/2

=10-4 (1+0.01/2)=10-4× 1.01/2

=5×10-5 mol/L

pH = -log[H+]= -log[5×10-5]

=-log(5) + (-5log10)

=-log5 + 5 =4.3

The pH of the Solution formed by mixing will be 4.

34. The solubility product of Al(OH) 3 is 2.7 × 10-11. Calculate its solubility in gL-1 and also find out the pH of this solution. (Atomic mass of Al = 27 u).

Solution:

The equation of disassociation of Al(OH)3will be-

Al(OH)3 ⇌ Al3+ + 3OH-

We know that,

Ksp= [Al3+] [OH-] 3-

=(s) × (3s) 3 =27s4

S4 = Ksp/27

= 2.7x 10-11/27

s4= 10-12

s= (10-12)1/4 =10-3 mol/L

Now, molar mass of Al(OH)3 =78

Solubility= molar mass ×s

= 78 ×10-3

= 7.8 × 10-2 g/L

NOW, we know that-

pH = 14 – pOH

[OH]= 3s = 3 × 10-3

pOH= 3-log3

pH = 14 – 3 + log3

= 11.4771

Hence the pH of the solution will be 11.4771 and solubility in g/L will be 7.8×10-2 g/L.

35. Calculate the volume of water required to dissolve 0.1 g lead (II) chloride to get a saturated solution. (Ksp of PbCl2 = 3.2 × 10-8, atomic mass of Pb = 207 u).

Solution:

Given, Ksp of PbCl2 =3.2 ×10-8

The equation of disassociation of PbCl2 will be-

PbCl2 ⇌ Pb2+ + 2Cl-

Ksp = [Pb2+] [Cl-] 2

= (x) × (2x) 2 = 4×3

4×3 =3.2 × 10-8

x=2 ×10-3 mol/L

Solubility = molar mass (PbCl2) × 2 × 10-3

=556 × 10-3 =0.556 g/L

0.1g of PbCl2 will dissolve in 0.1/0.0556 = 0.1798L

The required volume to get a saturated solution of PbCl2 is 0.1798 L

36. A reaction between ammonia and boron trifluoride is given below:

: NH3 + BF3→ H3N: BF3

Identify the acid and base in this reaction. Which theory explains it? What is the hybridisation of B and N in the reactants?

Solution:

Lewis acid in this reaction is NH3 (N=1s22s22p1)as it has a lone pair of e- to donate in its p-orbital and Lewis base Is BF3 as p-orbital of Boron is empty(B=1s22s22p1) so it will accept lone pair from N and form a dative bond. This is explained by lewis electronic theory. The Hybridisation of N is sp3 and B is sp2.

37. Following data is given for the reaction: CaCO3 (s) → CaO3 (s) + CO2 (g)

ΔfH⊖ [CaO (s)] = -635.1 kJ mol=-1

ΔfH⊖ [CO2 (g)] = -393.5 kJ mol-1

ΔfH⊖ [CaCO3 (s)] = -1206.9 kJ mol-1

Predict the effect of temperature on the Equilibrium constant of the above reaction.

Solution:

ΔfH⊖ = ΔfH⊖products- ΔfH⊖reactants

ΔfH⊖ = ΔfH⊖ [CaO(s)] + ΔfH⊖ [CO2(g)]- ΔfH⊖ [CaCO3(s)]

= -635.1 -393.5+1206.9 = 178.3 kJ mol-1

=positive

i.e. the reaction is exothermic.

Hence according to Le Chatelier’s Principle on increasing the temperature, the reaction will shift to forward direction.
