    What is the Equilibrium?

    Equilibrium is the state of a process in which the properties like the concentration of the system, pressure, and temperature do not change with the passage of time. It can be established for both chemical and physical processes. At the stage of equilibrium, the rate of forwarding and reverse reactions are equal. The state of equilibrium can only be achieved if the reversible reaction is taking place in a closed system.

    NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 7 Equilibrium

    Question 7.1(a) A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased.

    What is the initial effect of the change on vapour pressure?

    Answer :

    By increasing the volume of the container suddenly, initially, the vapour pressure would decrease. It is due to, the amount of vapour has remained the same but it is distributed in a larger volume.

    Question 7.1(b) A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased.

    How do rates of evaporation and condensation change initially?

    Answer :

    Here the temperature is constant so that the rate of evaporation is also the same as before. On increasing the volume of the container, the density of vapour decreases due to which the rate of collision between vapour particles decreases. Hence the condensation rate also decreases initially.

    Question 7.1(c) A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased .

    What happens when equilibrium is restored finally and what will be the final vapour pressure?

    Answer :

    When equilibrium is restored, the rate of evaporation is equal to the rate of condensation. The temperature is constant and the volume is changed. The vapour pressure is temperature-dependent, not volumes. So, that final vapour pressure is equal to the initial vapour pressure.

    Question 7.2 What is K c for the following equilibrium when the equilibrium concentration of each substance is: [SO 2 ]= 0.60M, [O 2 ] = 0.82M and [SO 3 ] = 1.90M ?

    2SO_2_(g)+O_2_(g )\rightleftharpoons 2SO_3_(g)

    Answer :

    Followings are the given information values to solve the above problems-
    \\{[SO_{2}]}= 0.60 M\\ {[O_{2}]}=0.82M\\ {[SO_{3}]}=1.90M
    The given chemical equation is -

    2SO_2_(g)+O_2_(g )\rightleftharpoons 2SO_3_(g)

    The equilibrium constant for this reaction is expressed as;
    K_c=\frac{[SO_{3}]^2}{[SO_{2}]^2[O_{2}]}

    \\=\frac{[1.90]^2}{[0.60]^2[0.82]}\\ =12.22 M^{-1} (approx)


    Question 7.3 At a certain temperature and total pressure of 10 5 Pa, iodine vapour contains 40% by volume of I atoms

    I_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2I_{(g)}

    Calculate Kp for the equilibrium.

    Answer :

    It is given that total pressure (P T )is 10^5\ Pa and partial pressure of I atom = 40 % of P T
    So, the partial pressure of I atom = \frac{40}{100}\times 10^5 = 4\times 10^4 Pascal

    The partial pressure of I_2 = 60% of P T

    So, the partial pressure of I_2 = \frac{60}{100}\times 10^5=6\times 10^4 Pascal

    Now, for the reaction I_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2I_{(g)}
    K_p = \frac{(p_I)^2}{p_{I_2}} = \frac{(4\times 10^4)^2}{6\times 10^4}\ Pa
    =2.67\times 10^4\ Pa

    Question 7.4 Write the expression for the equilibrium constant, K c for each of the following reactions:

    (i) 2NOCl_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2NO_{(g)}+Cl{2}_{(g)}

    (ii) \\2Cu(NO_3)_2_(s)\rightleftharpoons 2CuO_{(s)}+4NO_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}

    (iii) CH_3COOC_2H_5_{(aq)}+H_{2}O_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOH_{(aq)}+C_{2}H_{5}OH_{(aq)}

    (iv) CH_3COOC_2H_5_{(aq)}+H_{2}O_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOH_{(aq)}+C_{2}H_{5}OH_{(aq)}

    (v) I_{2}_{(s)}+5F_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2IF_{5}

    Answer :

    The equilibrium constant for any reaction can be written as (concentration of products) / (concentration of reactants). And we considered constant values for the solids and liquids because their density per unit volume or mass per unit volume does not change.
    Thus,
    (i)
    K_c = \frac{[NO]^2[Cl_2]}{[NOCl]^2} (ii)
    K_c = \frac{[CuO]^2[NO_2]^4[O_2]}{[Cu(NO_3)_2]^2}
    (iii)

    K_c = \frac{[CH_3COOH][C_2H_5OH]}{[CH_3COOC_2H5]}

    (iv)
    K_c = \frac{1}{[Fe^{3+}][OH^-]}

    (v)
    K_c = \frac{[IF_5]^2}{[F_2]^5}

    Question 7.5 Find out the value of K c for each of the following equilibria from the value of K p :

    (i) 2NOCl _{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2NO_{(g)}+Cl_{2}_{(g)};K_{p}=1.8 \times 10^{-2} at 500K

    (ii)CaCO_{3}_{(s)}\rightleftharpoons CaO_{(s)}+CO_{2}_{(g)};K_{p}=167 at 1073K

    Answer :

    We know that the relation between K_p and K_c is expressed as;

    K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta n} ............................(i)
    here {\Delta n} = (no. of moles of product) - (no. of moles of reactants)

    R = 0.0831 bar L /mol/K, and

    For (i)
    K_p = 1.8\times 10^{-2} and Temp (T) = 500K

    {\Delta n} = 3 - 2 = 1
    By putting the all values in eq (i) we get

    K_c = \frac{1.8\times 10^{-2}}{0.0831\times 500} = 4.33\times 10^{-4}

    For (ii)
    K_p = 167 and temp(T) = 1073 K
    {\Delta n} = 2 - 1 = 1
    Now, by putting all values in eq (i) we get,

    K_c = \frac{167}{0.0831\times 1073} = 1.87

    Question 7.6 For the following equilibrium, K c = 6.3 × 10 14 at 1000 K

    NO_{(g)}+O_{3}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons NO_{2}_{(g)}+O_{2}_{(g)}

    Both the forward and reverse reactions in the equilibrium are elementary bimolecular reactions. What is K c , for the reverse reaction?

    Answer :

    It is given that,
    K_c=6.3\times 10^{14}
    we know that K'_c for the reverse reaction is the inverse of the forward equilibrium constant. Thus it can be calculated as:

    K'_c=\frac{1}{K_c}
    =\frac{1}{6.3\times 10^{14}}
    =1.58\times 10^{-15}

    Question 7.7 Explain why pure liquids and solids can be ignored while writing the equilibrium constant expression?

    Answer :

    For the pure liquids and solids, the molecular mass and the density at a particular temperature is always fixed and it is considered as a constant. Thus they can be ignored while writing the equilibrium constant expression

    Question 7.8 Reaction between N 2 and O 2- takes place as follows:

    2N_{2}_{(g)}+O_{2}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2N_{2}O_{(g)}

    If a mixture of 0.482 mol N 2 and 0.933 mol of O 2 is placed in a 10 L reaction vessel and allowed to form N 2 O at a temperature for which K c = 2.0 ×10 -37 , determine the composition of equilibrium mixture.

    Answer :

    It is given that,
    K_c = 2.0\times 10^{-37}
    Let the concentration of N_2O at equilibrium be x . So,

    2N_{2}_{(g)}+O_{2}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2N_{2}O_{(g)}

    initial conc 0.482 0.933 0 (in moles)
    at equilibrium 0.482- x 0.933 - x x (in moles)

    The equilibrium constant is very small. So, we can assume 0.482- x = 0.482 and 0.933 - x = 0.933

    We know that,

    K_c = \frac{[N_2O]^2}{[N_2]^2[O_2]}
    2\times 10^{-37}=\frac{(x/10)^2}{(0.0482)^2(0.0933)} {dividing the moles by 10 to get concentration of ions)

    \\\frac{x^2}{100}= 2\times 10^{-37}\times (0.0482)^2\times (0.0933)\\ x^2 = 43.35\times 10^{-40}\\ x = \sqrt{43.35\times 10^{-40}}\\ x=6.6\times 10^{-20}

    So, the concentration of [N_2O]= \frac{x}{10}=6.6\times 10^{-20}

    Question 7.9 Nitric oxide reacts with Br 2 and gives nitrosyl bromide as per reaction given below:

    2NO_{(g)}+Br_{2}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr_{(g)}

    When 0.087 mol of NO and 0.0437 mol of Br 2 are mixed in a closed container at a constant temperature, 0.0518 mol of NOBr is obtained at equilibrium. Calculate the equilibrium amount of NO and Br 2 .

    Answer :

    The initial concentration of NO and Br_2 is 0.087 mol and 0.0437 mol resp.

    The given chemical reaction is-
    2NO_{(g)}+Br_{2}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr_{(g)}

    Here, 2 mol of NOBr produces from 2 mol of NO . So, 0.0518 mol of NOBr is obtained from 0.518 mol of NO .

    Again, From 1 mol of Br_2 two mol of NOBr produced. So, to produce 0.518 mol of NOBr we need \frac{0.518}{2} = 0.0259 mol of Br_2 .

    Thus, the amount of NO present at equilibrium = 0.087 - 0.0518 = 0.0352 mol

    and the amount of Br_2 present at the equilibrium = 0.0437-0.0259 = 0.0178 mol

    Question 7.10 At 450K, K p = 2.0 × 10 10 /bar for the given reaction at equilibrium.

    2SO_{2}_{(g)}+O_{2}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2SO_{3}_{(g)}

    What is K c at this temperature?

    Answer :

    We have,
    K_p= 2\times 10^{10}/bar
    We know that the relation between K_p and K_c ;

    K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta n}
    Here \Delta n = ( moles of product) - (moles of reactants)

    2SO_{2}_{(g)}+O_{2}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2SO_{3}_{(g)}

    So. here \Delta n = 2-3 = -1

    By applying the formula we get;

    2\times 10^{10} =K_c(0.0831 L\ bar/K/mol)\times 450K
    K_c= \frac{2\times 10^{10}}{(0.0831 L\ bar/K/mol)\times 450K}

    =74.79 \times 10^{10}L mol^{-1}
    = 7.48 \times 10^{10}L mol^{-1}

    Question 7.11 A sample of HI(g) is placed in flask at a pressure of 0.2 atm. At equilibrium the partial pressure of HI(g) is 0.04 atm. What is K p for the given equilibrium?

    2HI_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons H_{2}_{(g)}+I_{2}_{(g)}

    Answer :

    The initial pressure of HI is 0.2 atm . At equilibrium, it has a partial pressure of 0.04 atm. Therefore, a decrease in the pressure of HI is 0.2 - 0.04 = 0.16 .

    The given reaction is:

    2HI_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons H_{2}_{(g)}+I_{2}_{(g)}

    HI_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 1/2H_{2}_{(g)}+1/2I_{2}_{(g)}

    At equilibrium,
    \\pHI = 0.04\\ pH_2 = \frac{0.16}{2}=0.08\\ pI_2 = \frac{0.16}{2}=0.08

    Therefore,
    K_p = \frac{pH_2\times pI_2}{p^2HI}
    \\=\frac{0.08 \times 0.08}{(0.04)^2}\\ =4

    Question 7.13 The equilibrium constant expression for a gas reaction is,

    K_{c}=\frac{\left [ NH_{3} \right ]^{4}\left [ O_{2} \right ]^{5}}{\left [ NO \right ]^{4}\left [ H_{2}O \right ]^{5}}

    Write the balanced chemical equation corresponding to this expression.

    Answer :

    The balanced chemical equation corresponding to the given expression can be written as:

    4NO+6H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons 4NH_{3}+5O_{2}

    Question 7.14 One mole of H 2 O and one mole of CO are taken in 10 L vessel and heated to 725 K. At equilibrium 40% of water (by mass) reacts with CO according to the equation,

    H_{2}O_{(g)}+CO_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons H_{2}_{(g)}+CO_{2}_{(g)}

    Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

    Answer :

    The given reaction is-

    H_{2}O_{(g)}+CO_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons H_{2}_{(g)}+CO_{2}_{(g)}

    initial conc 1/10 1/10 0 0
    At equilibrium 0.6/10 0.6/10 0.04 0.04

    Now, the equilibrium constant for the reaction can be calculated as;

    K_c = \frac{[H_2][CO_2]}{[H_{2}O][CO]}
    = \frac{.04 \times.04}{(.06)^2}

    = 0.44 (approx)

    Question 7.15 At 700 K, equilibrium constant for the reaction:

    H_{2}_{(g)}+I_{2}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2HI_{(g)}

    is 54.8. If 0.5 mol L -1 of HI(g) is present at equilibrium at 700 K, what are the concentration of H 2 (g) and I 2 (g) assuming that we initially started with HI(g) and allowed it to reach equilibrium at 700K?

    Answer :

    We have,

    The equilibrium constant of the reaction = 54.8

    moles of HI = 0.5 mol/L

    The given reaction is-

    H_{2}_{(g)}+I_{2}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2HI_{(g)}

    So, the reverse equilibrium constant is K'_c = 1/K_c

    Suppose the concentration of hydrogen and iodine at equilibrium be x

    [I_2]=[H_2]=x

    Therefore,

    K'_c = \frac{[H_2][I_2]}{[HI]} = \frac{x^2}{(.5)^2}
    So, the value of x = \sqrt{\frac{0.25}{54.8}}=0.0675(approx)\ mol/ L

    Question 7.16 What is the equilibrium concentration of each of the substances in the equilibrium when the initial concentration of ICl was 0.78 M ?

    2ICl _{(g)}\rightleftharpoons I_{2}_{(g)}+Cl_{2}_{(g)}; K_{c}=0.14

    Answer :

    The given reaction is:
    2ICl (g) \rightleftharpoons I_2 (g) + Cl_2 (g)
    Initial conc. 0.78 M 0 0
    At equilibrium (0.78 - 2 x ) M x M x M

    The value of K_c = 0.14

    Now we can write,
    K_c = \frac{[I_2][Cl_2]}{[ICl]^2}
    \\0.14 = \frac{x^2}{(.78-x)^2}\\ 0.374 = \frac{x}{(.78-x)}

    By solving this we can get the value of x = 0.167

    Question 7.17 K p = 0.04 atm at 899 K for the equilibrium shown below. What is the equilibrium concentration of C 2 H 6 when it is placed in a flask at 4.0 atm pressure and allowed to come to equilibrium?

    C_{2}H_{6}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons C_{2}H_{4}_{(g)}+H_{2}_{(g)}

    Answer :

    Suppose the pressure exerted by the hydrogen and ethene gas be p at equilibrium.

    the given reaction is-

    C_{2}H_{6}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons C_{2}H_{4}_{(g)}+H_{2}_{(g)}

    initial pressure 4 atm 0 0
    At equilibrium 4 - p p p

    Now,
    K_p = p_{C_2H_4}\times p_{H_2}/p_{C_2H_6}
    0.04 = \frac{p^2}{4-p}

    By solving the quadratic equation we can get the value of p = 0.38

    Hence,at equilibrium,

    p_{C_2H_6} = 4 - p = 4 -.038

    = 3.62 atm

    Question 7.18(i) Ethyl acetate is formed by the reaction between ethanol and acetic acid and the equilibrium is represented as:

    CH_{3}COOH _{(l)}+C_{2}H_{5}OH\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5}_{(l)}+H_{2}O_{(l)}

    (i) Write the concentration ratio (reaction quotient), Q c , for this reaction (note: water is not in excess and is not a solvent in this reactio n)

    Answer :

    The given reaction is-
    CH_{3}COOH _{(l)}+C_{2}H_{5}OH\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5}_{(l)}+H_{2}O_{(l)} the concentration ratio (reaction quotient) of the given chemical reaction is-

    Q_c = \frac{[CH_{3}COOC_2H_5][H_2O]}{[CH_3COOH][C_2H_5OH]}

    Question 7.18(ii) Ethyl acetate is formed by the reaction between ethanol and acetic acid and the equilibrium is represented as:

    CH_{3}COOH _{(l)}+C_{2}H_{5}OH_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5}_{(l)}+H_{2}O_{(l)}

    (ii) At 293 K, if one starts with 1.00 mol of acetic acid and 0.18 mol of ethanol, there is 0.171 mol of ethyl acetate in the final equilibrium mixture. Calculate the equilibrium constant.

    Answer :

    Let the volume of the mixture will be V.
    CH_{3}COOH _{(l)}+C_{2}H_{5}OH_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5}_{(l)}+H_{2}O_{(l)}

    initial conc. 1/V 0.18/V 0 0

    At equilibrium \frac{1-.171}{V} (= 0.829/V) \frac{1-.171}{V} 0.171 0.171

    So the equilibrium constant for the reaction can be calculated as;

    K_c = \frac{(0.171)^2}{(0.829)(0.009)}

    =3.92 (approx)

    Question 7.18(iii) Ethyl acetate is formed by the reaction between ethanol and acetic acid and the equilibrium is represented as:

    CH_{3}COOH_{(l)}+C_{2}H_{5}OH_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5}_{(l)}+H_{2}O_{(l)}

    (iii) Starting with 0.5 mol of ethanol and 1.0 mol of acetic acid and maintaining it at 293 K, 0.214 mol of ethyl acetate is found after sometime. Has equilibrium been reached?

    Answer :

    Let the volume of the mixture will be V.
    CH_{3}COOH_{(l)}+C_{2}H_{5}OH_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5}_{(l)}+H_{2}O_{(l)}

    initial conc. 1/V 0.5/V 0 0

    At equilibrium \frac{1-.214}{V} (= 0.786/V) \frac{1-.214}{V} 0.214 0.214

    Therefore the reaction quotient of the reaction-

    Q_c = \frac{(0.214)^2}{(0.786)(0.286)}

    =0.2037 (approx)

    Since Q_c<K_c equilibrium has not been reached.

    Question 7.19 A sample of pure PCl 5 was introduced into an evacuated vessel at 473 K. After equilibrium was attained, concentration of PCl 5 was found to be 0.5 × 10 -1 mol L -1 . If value of K c is 8.3 × 10 -3 , what are the concentrations of PCl 3 and Cl 2 at equilibrium?

    PCl_{5}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons PCl_{3}_{(g)}+Cl_{2}_{(g)}

    Answer :

    We have,

    concentration of PCl_5 = 0.05 mol/L
    and K_c = 8.3\times 10^{-3}

    Suppose the concentrations of both PCl_3 and Cl_2 at equilibrium be x mol/L. The given reaction is:

    PCl_5 (g) \rightleftharpoons PCl_3 (g) + Cl_2(g)

    at equilibrium 0.05 x x

    it is given that the value of the equilibrium constant, K_c = 8.3\times 10^{-3}

    Now we can write the expression for equilibrium as:

    K_c = \frac{x^2}{0.05}=8.3\times 10^{-3}
    \Rightarrow x = \sqrt{4.15\times 10^{-4}}
    =0.0204 (approx)

    Hence the concentration of PCl_3 and Cl_2 is 0.0204 mol / L

    Question 7.20 One of the reaction that takes place in producing steel from iron ore is the reduction of iron(II) oxide by carbon monoxide to give iron metal and CO 2 . FeO_{(s)}+CO_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons Fe_{(s)}+CO_{2}_{(g)} ; K p = 0.265 atm at 1050K What are the equilibrium partial pressures of CO and CO 2 at 1050 K if the initial partial pressures are: p_{CO} = 1.4 atm and pCO_2 = 0.80 atm?

    Answer :

    We have,

    K_p=0.265
    the initial pressure of CO and CO_2 are 1.4 atm and 0.80atm resp.

    The given reaction is-

    FeO_{(s)}+CO_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons Fe_{(s)}+CO_{2}_{(g)}

    initially, 1.4 atm 0.80 atm

    Q_p = \frac{pCO_2}{pCO}=\frac{0.80}{1.4} = 0.571
    Since Q_p>K_c the reaction will proceed in the backward direction to attain equilibrium. The partial pressure of CO_2 will increase = decrease in the partial pressure of CO_2 = p

    \therefore K_p = \frac{pCO_2}{pCO} = \frac{0.80-p}{1.4+p}=0.265
    =0.371+.265p=0.80-p

    By solving the above equation we get the value of p = 0.339 atm

    Question 7.21 Equilibrium constant, K c for the reaction

    N_{2}_{(g)}+3H_{2}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2NH_{3}_{(g)}

    At 500 K is 0.061 At a particular time, the analysis shows that composition of the reaction mixture is 3.0 mol L -1 N 2 , 2.0 mol L -1 H 2 and 0.5 mol L -1 NH 3 . Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not in which direction does the reaction tend to proceed to reach equilibrium?

    Answer :

    The given reaction is:

    N_{2}_{(g)}+3H_{2}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2NH_{3}_{(g)}

    at a particular time: 3.0molL -1 2.0 molL -1 0.5molL -1

    Now, we know that,

    Qc = [NH_3]2^ / [N_2][H_2]^3
    \\ = (0.5)^2 / (3.0)(2.0)^3\\ = 0.0104

    It is given that K c = 0.061

    Since, Qc \neq Kc, the reaction mixture is not at equilibrium.

    Again, Q_c < K_c , the reaction will proceed in the forward direction to attain the equilibrium.

    Question 7.22 Bromine monochloride, BrCl decomposes into bromine and chlorine and reaches the equilibrium:

    2BrCl_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons Br_{2}_{(g)}+Cl_{2}_{(g)}

    For which K c = 32 at 500 K. If initially pure BrCl is present at a concentration of 3.3 × 10 -3 mol L -1 , what is its molar concentration in the mixture at equilibrium?

    Answer :

    Suppose the x amount of bromine and chlorine formed at equilibrium. The given reaction is:

    2BrCl_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons Br_{2}_{(g)}+Cl_{2}_{(g)}

    Initial Conc. 3.3\times10^{-3} 0 0

    at equilibrium 3.3\times10^{-3} - 2 x x x

    Now, we can write,

    K_c =\frac{[BR_2][Cl_2]}{[BrCl_2]^2}
    32=\frac{x^2}{(3.3\times 10^{-3}-2x)^2}
    5.66=\frac{x}{(3.3\times 10^{-3}-2x)}
    x+11.32x=18.678 \times 10^{-3}

    By solving the above equation we get,

    x = 1.51 \times 10^{-3}

    Hence, at equilibrium [BrCl_2] = 3.3\times 10^{-3} - (2\times 1.51\times 10^{-3})
    = 0.3\times 10^{-3} M

    Question 7.23 At 1127 K and 1 atm pressure, a gaseous mixture of CO and CO 2 in equilibrium with soild carbon has 90.55% CO by mass

    C_{(s)}+CO_{2}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2CO_{(g)}

    Calculate K c for this reaction at the above temperature .

    Answer :

    Suppose the total mass of the gaseous mixture is 100 g.
    Total pressure is 1 atm

    Mass of CO = 90.55 g
    And, mass of CO_2 = (100 - 90.55) = 9.45 g

    Now, number of moles of CO = 90.55/28 = 3.234 mol (mol. wt of CO = 28)
    Number of moles of CO_2 = 9.45/44 = 0.215 mol (mol. wt of CO_2 = 44)

    Partial pressure of CO ,

    pCO=\frac{n_{CO}}{n_{CO}+n_{CO_2}}p_T

    =\frac{3.234}{3.234+0.215} \times 1
    = 0.938 atm

    Similarly partial pressure of CO_2 ,

    pCO_2=\frac{n_{CO_2}}{n_{CO}+n_{CO_2}}p_T
    = 0.062 atm

    Thus, K_p = \frac{(0.938)^2}{(0.062)} \approx 14.19

    By using the relation K_p = K_c(RT)^{\Delta n}
    K_c = \frac{14.19}{(0.083\times 1127)^1}
    = 0.159 (approx)

    Question 7.24 Calculate a) \Delta G^{0} for the formation of NO2 from NO and O2 at 298K

    NO{(g)}+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons NO_{2}(g)

    where

    \Delta _{f}G^{+}\left [ NO_{2} \right ]=52.0kJ/mol

    \Delta _{f}G^{+}\left [ NO \right ]=87.0kJ/mol

    \Delta _{f}G^{+}\left [ O_{2} \right ]=0kJ/mol

    Answer :

    Given data,

    \Delta _{f}G^{+}\left [ NO_{2} \right ]=52.0kJ/mol
    \Delta _{f}G^{+}\left [ NO \right ]=87.0kJ/mol

    \Delta _{f}G^{+}\left [ O_{2} \right ]=0kJ/mol

    given chemical reaction-
    NO{(g)}+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons NO_{2}(g)

    for the reaction,
    \Delta G^0 = \Delta G^0 (products) - \Delta G^0 (reactants)
    = (52-87-0)
    = -35 kJ/mol

    Question 7.25 Does the number of moles of reaction products increase, decrease or remain same when each of the following equilibria is subjected to a decrease in pressure by increasing the volume?

    (a) PCl_{5}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons PCl_{3}_{(g)}+Cl_{2}_{(g)}

    (b) CaO(s)+CO_{2}(s)\rightleftharpoons CaCO_{3}(s)

    (c) 3Fe(s)+4H_{2}O(g)\rightleftharpoons Fe_{3}O_{4}(s)+H_{2}(g)

    Answer :

    According to Le Chatellier's principle, if the pressure is decreased, then the equilibrium will shift in the direction in which more number of moles of gases is present.

    So,

    • (a)The number of moles of reaction products will increase.
    • (b)The number of moles of reaction products will decrease
    • (c)The number of moles of reaction products remains the same.

    Question 7.26 Which of the following reactions will get affected by increasing the pressure? Also, mention whether the change will cause the reaction to go into forward or backward direction.

    (i) COCl_{2}(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Cl_{2}(g)

    (ii) CH_{4}(g)+2S_{2}(g)\rightleftharpoons CS_{2}(g)+2H_{2}S(g)

    (iii) CO_{2}(g)+C(s)\rightleftharpoons 2CO(g)

    (iv) 2H_{2}(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}OH(g)

    (v) CaCO_{3}(s)\rightleftharpoons CaO(s)+CO_{2(g)

    (vi) 4NH_{3}(g)+5O_{2}(g)\rightleftharpoons 4NO(g)+6H_{2}O(g)

    Answer :

    According to Le Chatellier's principle , if the pressure is increased, then the equilibrium will shift in the direction in which less number of moles of gases is present. So, as per this rule following given reactions are affected by the increasing pressure-

    The reaction (i), (iii), and (vi)- all proceeds in the backward direction

    Reaction(iv) will shift in the forward direction because the number of moles of gaseous reactants is more than that of products.

    Question 7.27 The equilibrium constant for the following reaction is 1.6 ×10 5 at 1024K

    H_{2}(g)+Br_{2}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HBr(g)

    Find the equilibrium pressure of all gases if 10.0 bar of HBr is introduced into a sealed container at 1024K .

    Answer :

    Given that,
    K_p for the reaction = 1.6\times 10^{5}

    K'_p = 1/K_p = \frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{5}} = 6.25 \times 10^{-6}

    Let the pressure of both H_2 and Br_2 at equilibrium be p .

    2HBr\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+Br_2(g)
    initial conc. 10 0 0
    at eq 10-2p p p

    Now,
    K_p' = \frac{p^{Br_2}.p^{H_2}}{p^2_{HBr}}
    6.25\times 10^{-6}=\frac{p^2}{(10-2p)^2}
    5\times 10^{-3}=\frac{p}{(5-p)}
    By solving the above equation we get,

    p = 0.00248 bar

    Hence the pressure of H_2 and Br_2 is 0.00248 bar and pressure of HBr is 0.00496 bar

    Question 7.28(a) Dihydrogen gas is obtained from natural gas by partial oxidation with steam as per following endothermic reaction:

    Write an expression for Kp for the above reaction.

    Answer :

    CH_{4}(g)+H_{2}O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+3H_{2}(g)
    the expression of ionisation constant ( Kp) for the reaction can be defined as the ratio of the product of concentration to the product of reactants.
    K_p = \frac{p_{CO}.p^3_{H_2}}{p_{CH_4}.p_{H_2O}}

    Question 7.28(b) Dihydrogen gas is obtained from natural gas by partial oxidation with steam as per following endothermic reaction:

    CH_{4}(g)+H_{2}O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+3H_{2}(g)

    How will the values of Kp and composition of equilibrium mixture be affected by

    (i) increasing the pressure

    (ii) increasing the temperature

    (iii) using a catalyst?

    Answer :

    (i) According to Le Chatellier's principle, if pressure is increased, then the reaction will shift towards the less number of moles of gases. So, here the direction of equilibrium is backward and the value of K_p decreases.

    (ii) According to Le Chatellier's principle, as the reaction is endothermic, the equilibrium will shift in the forward direction. The value of K_p is increases.

    (iii) The equilibrium of the reaction is not affected by the presence of the catalyst. It only increases the rate of reaction.

    Question 7.29(a) Describe the effect of :

    (a) addition of H 2

    2H_{2}(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}OH(g)

    Answer :

    2H_{2}(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}OH(g)
    (a)According to Le Chatelliers principle, on the addition of dihydrogen, the number of mole of H_2 increases on the reactant side. Thus to attain the equilibrium again the reaction will move in the forward direction.

    (b) According to Le Chatellier's principle, on the addition of methyl alcohol, the number of moles of methyl alcohol increases on the product sides. So, to attain the equilibrium, the reaction will proceed in a backward direction.

    2H_{2}(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}OH(g)
    According to Le Chatellier's principle, on the addition of methyl alcohol, the number of moles of methyl alcohol increases on the product sides. So, to attain the equilibrium, the reaction will proceed in a backward direction.

    Question 7.29(c) Describe the effect of :

    removal of CO

    2H_{2}(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}OH(g)

    Answer :

    2H_{2}(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}OH(g)
    If we remove the CO from the reactant side, the concentration on the reactant side will decrease and to attain an equilibrium, the reaction will shift backward direction

    Question 7.30 At 473 K, equilibrium constant K c for decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride, PCl 5 is 8.3 ×10 -3 . If decomposition is depicted as,

    Answer :

    We have,
    PCl_{5}(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_{3}(g)+Cl_{2}(g), \Delta _{r}H^{+}=124.0kJ mol^{-1}
    Equilibrium constant for the above reaction = 8.3\times 10^{-3}

    (a) Expression of K_c for this reaction-
    K_c=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{PCl_5}

    (b) The value of reverse equilibrium constant can be calculated as;

    K'_c = \frac{1}{K_c}
    =\frac{1}{8.3\times 10^{-3}}=1.20\times 10^2

    (c).i K_c would remain the same because the temperature is constant in this case.

    (c). ii If we increase the pressure, there is no change in K_c because the temperature is constant in this case also.

    Question 7.31 Dihydrogen gas used in Haber’s process is produced by reacting methane from natural gas with high temperature steam. The first stage of two stage reaction involves the formation of CO and H 2 . In second stage, CO formed in first stage is reacted with more steam in water gas shift reaction,

    CO(g)+H_{2}O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_{2}+H_{2}(g)

    If a reaction vessel at 400 °C is charged with an equimolar mixture of CO and steam such that p_{CO}=p_{H_{2}O} = 4.0 bar, what will be the partial pressure of H 2 at equilibrium? Kp= 10.1 at 400°C

    Answer :

    We have,
    The partial pressure of CO and H_2O is 4 bar and the K_p = 10.1
    Let p be the partial pressure of CO_2 and H_2 at equilibrium. The given reaction is-

    CO(g)+H_{2}O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_{2}+H_{2}(g)
    Initial concentration 4 bar 4 bar 0 0
    At equilibrium 4 - p 4 - p p p

    Therefore, we can write,
    10.1= \frac{p_{CO_2}.p_{H_2}}{p_{CO}.p_{H_2O}}
    \\10.1= \frac{p^2}{(4-p)^2}\\ 3.178 = \frac{p}{(4-p)}\\ p=(4-p)\times 3.178
    By solving the above equation we get, p = 3.04

    Hence, the partial pressure of dihydrogen at equilibrium is 3.04 bar

    Question 7.32 Predict which of the following reaction will have an appreciable concentration of reactants and products:

    (a) Cl_{2}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2Cl(g);K_{c}=5 \times 10^{-39}
    (b) Cl_{2}(g) +2 NO(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NOCl(g);K_{c}=3.7 \times 10^{8}
    (c) Cl_{2}(g) +2 NO_{2}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_{2}Cl(g);K_{c}=1.8

    Answer :

    If the value of K_c is in the range of 10^{-3} to 10^{3} , then the reaction has appreciable concentrations of both reactants and products.

    Therefore, the third reaction (c) (K_c=1.8) will have an appreciable concentration of reactants and products.

    Question 7.33 The value of K c for the reaction 3O_{2}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2O_{3}(g) is 2.0 ×10 -50 at 25°C. If the equilibrium concentration of O 2 in air at 25°C is 1.6 ×10 -2 , what is the concentration of O 3 ?

    Answer :

    We have,

    equilibrium constant of the reaction = 2\times 10^{-50}
    the concentration of dioxygen [O_2] = 1.6 \times 10^{-2}

    the given reaction is-

    3O_{2}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2O_{3}(g)
    Then we have,
    (equilibrium constant)
    K_c = [O_3 (g)]^2 / [O_2 (g)]^3

    \\2\times 10^{-50} = [O_3]^2/(1.6\times 10^{-2})^3\\ {[O_3]^2} = 2\times 10^{-50}\times(1.6\times 10^{-2})^3

    =8.192\times 10^{-56}

    {[O_3]}=\sqrt{8.192\times 10^{-56}} = 2.86 \times 10^{-28}

    Thus the concentration of dioxygen is 2.86 \times 10^{-28}

    Question 7.34(a) The reaction,

    CO(g)+3H_{2}(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_{4}(g)+H_{2}O(g)

    Answer :

    Given that,
    Total volume = 1L
    0.3 mol of CO , 0.10 mol of dihydrogen( H_2 )and the 0.02 mol of water( H_2O )
    the equilibrium constant = 3.90

    Let x be the concentration of methane at equilibrium. The given reaction is-

    CO(g)+3H_{2}(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_{4}(g)+H_{2}O(g)
    At equilibrium, 0.3 mol/L 0.1 mol/L x 0.02 mol/L

    Therefore,

    K_c = \frac{0.02\times x}{(0.3)(0.1)}=3.90
    \Rightarrow x = \frac{(3.9)(0.3)(0.1)^3}{(0.02)}
    =5.85\times 10^{-2}

    Thus the concentration of methane at equilibrium is =5.85\times 10^{-2}

    Question 7.41 The concentration of hydrogen ion in a sample of soft drink is 3.8 × 10 -3 M. what is its pH?

    Answer :

    We have,
    the concentration of Hydrogen ion sample is 3.8\times 10^{-3} M
    So, pH = -\log [H]^+
    \\= -\log (3.8\times 10^{-3})\\ =3-\log 3.8\\ =2.42

    Question 7.42 The pH of a sample of vinegar is 3.76. Calculate the concentration of hydrogen ion in it.

    Answer :

    We have,
    The pH of a sample of vinegar is 3.76
    pH =?

    Therefore,
    \\pH=-\log [H^+]\\ \log[H^+] = -pH
    Taking antilog on both sides we get,
    [H^+] = antilog (-3.76)
    [H^+]=1.74 \times 10^{-4}

    Hence the concentration of hydrogen ion [H^+]=1.74 \times 10^{-4}

    Question 7.43 The ionization constant of HF, HCOOH and HCN at 298K are 6.8 × 10 -4 , 1.8 × 10 -4 and 4.8 × 10 -9 respectively. Calculate the ionization constants of the corresponding conjugate base.

    Answer :

    We have,
    IOnization constant of hydrogen fluoride, methanoic acid and hydrogen cyanide are 6.8\times 10^{-4},\ 1.8 \times 10^{-4} and 4.8\times 10^{-9} respectively.

    It is known that,
    K_b = \frac{K_w}{K_a} ...........................(i)

    K_b of the conjugate base F^-
    =\frac{10^{-14}}{6.8 \times 10^{-4}}

    =1.5 \times 10^{-11}

    Similarly,
    By using the equation (i)
    K_b of the conjugate base HCOO^-
    =\frac{10^{-14}}{1.8\times 10^{-4}}

    =5.6\times 10^{-11}

    Again, with the help of eq (i)
    K_b of the conjugate base CN^-
    =\frac{10^{-14}}{4.8\times 10^{-9}}
    =2.8\times 10^{-6}

    Question 7.44 The ionization constant of phenol is 1.0 × 10 -10 . What is the concentration of phenolate ion in 0.05 M solution of phenol? What will be its degree of ionization if the solution is also 0.01M in sodium phenolate?

    Answer :

    We have,
    The ionization constant of phenol is 1.0 \times 10^{-10} , and
    the concentration of phenol is 0.05 M
    degree of ionisation = ?

    Ionization of phenol;
    C_6H_5OH+H_2O\rightleftharpoons C_6H_5O^-+H_{3}O^+
    At equilibrium,
    the concentration of various species are-
    [C_6H_5OH] = 0.05-x
    [C_6H_5O^-] = [H_3O^+]=x
    As we see, the value of ionisation is very less. Also x will be very small. Thus we can ignore x .

    \\K_a = \frac{[C_6H_5O^-][H_3O^+]}{[C_6H_5OH]}\\ 10^{-10}=\frac{x^2}{0.05}\\ x =\sqrt{10^{-10}\times 0.05}\\

    x= 2.2\times 10^{-6}

    Hence the concentration of phenolate ion is [C_6H_5O^-]= 2.2\times 10^{-6}

    Let \alpha be the degree of dissociation of phenol in the presence of 0.01 M of phenolate ion.

    C_6H_5OH\rightleftharpoons C_6H_5O^-+H^+
    Concentration (1 - \alpha ) 0.05 0.05 \alpha 0.05 \alpha

    So,
    [C_6H_5OH]= 0.05(1-\alpha) =0.05
    [C_6H_5O^-]= 0.05\alpha+0.01 \approx 0.01M

    [H_3O^+] = 0.05\alpha

    therefore,

    \\K_a =\frac{(0.01)(0.05\alpha)}{0.05}\\ 10^{-10}=0.01\alpha\\ \alpha = 10^{-8}
    The degree of dissociation is 10^{-8}

    Question 7.45 The first ionization constant of H 2 S is 9.1 × 10 -8 . Calculate the concentration of HS - ion in its 0.1M solution. How will this concentration be affected if the solution is 0.1M in HCl also? If the second dissociation constant of H2S is 1.2 × 10 -13 , calculate the concentration of S 2- under both conditions.

    Answer :

    We have,
    1st ionisation constant of hydrogen sulphide is 9.1\times 10^{-8} and the 2nd dissociation constant is 1.2\times 10^{-13}

    Case 1st-(absence of hydrochloric acid)

    To calculate the concentration of HS^-
    Let x be the concentration of HS^- and the ionisation of hydrogen sulphide is;
    H_2S\rightleftharpoons H^++HS^-
    0.1 M

    At equilibrium, the concentration of various species are,
    Since the dissociation constant is is very small. So, x can be neglected.
    the concentration of H_2S = 1- x M
    the concentration of HS^- and H^+ is x M
    So,
    K_a = \frac{x^2}{0.1}=9.1\times 10^{-8}
    from here x can be calculated and we get, x = 9.54\times 10^{-5}M

    Case 2nd (In presence of 0.1 M, HCl)
    Suppose H_2S is dissociated is x .Then at equilibrium,
    [H_2S] = 0.1-x\simeq 0.1,\ [H^+]=0.1+x\simeq 0.1 and the [HS^-] = x M
    So,
    K_a = \frac{x(0.1)}{0.1}=9.1\times 10^{-8}
    Thus the concentration of [ HS^- ] is 9.1\times 10^{-8}

    Question 7.46 The ionization constant of acetic acid is 1.74 × 10 -5 . Calculate the degree of dissociation of acetic acid in its 0.05 M solution. Calculate the concentration of acetate ion in the solution and its pH.

    Answer :

    It is given,
    The ionisation constant of acetic acid is 1.74\times 10^{-5} and concentration is 0.05 M

    The ionisation of acetic acid is;

    CH_{3}COOH\rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-+H^+
    Therefore,
    K_a = \frac{[CH_3COO^-][H^+]}{[CH_3COOH]}= \frac{[H^+]^2}{[CH_3COOH]}
    \therefore [H^+] = \sqrt{(1.74\times10^{-5})(5\times 10^{-2})} = 9.33\times 10^{-4} =[CH_3COO^-]

    So, the pH of the solution = -\log(9.33\times 10^{-4})
    = 4-\log(9.33)
    = 3.03

    We know that,
    \alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_a}{C}}
    \alpha = \sqrt{\frac{1.74\times10^{-5}}{0.05}} =1.86\times 10^{-2}

    Question 7.47 It has been found that the pH of a 0.01M solution of an organic acid is 4.15. Calculate the concentration of the anion, the ionization constant of the acid and its pK a .

    Answer :

    We have,
    pH of organic acid is 4.15 and its concentration is 0.01M

    Suppose the organic acid be HA. The dissociation of organic acid can be written as;

    HA \rightleftharpoons H^+ + A^-

    pH = 4.15
    \\-\log[H^+] = 4.15\\ {[H^+]} = 7.08\times 10^{-5} (By taking antilog of -4.15)

    Now,
    K_a = [H^+] [A^-] / [HA]

    [H^+] = [A^-] = 7.08\times10^{-5}

    [HA] = 0.01

    Then,

    \\K_a = (7.08\times10^{-5})^2 / 0.01\\ K_a = 5.01\times 10^{-7}

    Thus
    pK_a=-\log ( 5.01\times 10^{-7}) = 6.30

    Question 7.48 Assuming complete dissociation, calculate the pH of the following solutions:

    (a) 0.003 M HCl

    (b) 0.005 M NaOH

    (c) 0.002 M HBr

    (d) 0.002 M KOH

    Answer :

    Assuming the complete dissociation. So, \alpha =1

    (a) The ionisation of hydrochloric acid is
    HCl\rightleftharpoons H^++Cl^-
    Since it is fully ionised then [H^+]=[Cl^-]=0.003M
    Therefore,
    pH of the solution = -\log (0.003)
    = 3-\log (3)
    = 2.52

    (b) The ionisation of 0.005 M NaOH
    NaOH\rightleftharpoons Na^++OH^-
    [Na^+]=[OH^-]=0.005M
    Therefore,
    pOH of the solution =
    \\=-\log(0.005)\\ =3-\log5\\ =2.301
    pH of the solution is equal to (14 - 2.301 =11.70)

    (c) The ionisation of 0.002 M HBr
    HBr\rightleftharpoons H^++Br^-
    [Br^-]=[H^+]=0.002M
    Therefore,
    pH of the solution =
    \\=-\log(0.002)\\ =3-\log2\\ =2.69
    pH of the solution is equal to (2.69)

    (d) The ionisation of 0.002 M\ KOH
    KOH\rightleftharpoons K^++OH^-
    [OH^-]=[K^+]=0.002M
    Therefore,
    pOH of the solution =
    \\=-\log(0.002)\\ =3-\log2\\ =2.69
    pH of the solution is equal to (14 - 2.69 = 11.31)

    Question 7.49(a) Calculate the pH of the following solutions:

    2 g of TlOH dissolved in water to give 2 litre of solution.

    Answer :

    Here, 2 g of TlOH dissolves in water to give 2 litres of solution
    So, the concentration of TlOH =
    [TlOH(aq)] = \frac{2}{2}g/L = \frac{1}{221}M (the molar mass of TlOH is 221)

    TlOH can be dissociated as TlOH(aq)\rightarrow Tl^{+}+OH^-

    OH^-(aq)= TlOH(aq)=\frac{1}{221}M

    Therefore, K_w = [H^+][OH^-] (since K w = 10^{-14} )

    So, the concentration of [H^+] = 221\times 10^{-14}

    Thus P^H = -\log[H^+] = -\log(221\times 10^{-14})
    = 11.65(approx)

    Question 7.49(b) Calculate the pH of the following solutions:

    0.3 g of Ca(OH)_2 dissolved in water to give 500 mL of solution.

    Answer :

    The calcium hydroxide ion dissociates into-
    Ca(OH)_{2}\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2OH^-
    Molecular weight of Ca(OH)_{2} = 74
    the concentration of [Ca(OH)_{2}] = \frac{0.3\times 1000}{74\times500} = 0.0081 M

    \therefore [OH^-]= [Ca(OH)_2] = 0.0081 M

    We know that,
    [H^+] = \frac{K_w}{[OH^-]} = \frac{10^{-14}}{0.0162}
    = 61.7 \times 10^{-14}

    Thus P^H = - \log [H^+]= -\log (61.7 \times 10^{-14})
    = 14 - 1.79 = 12.21

    Question 7.49(c) Calculate the pH of the following solutions:

    0.3 g of NaOH dissolved in water to give 200 mL of solution.

    Answer :

    NaOH dissociates into NaOH\rightarrow Na^+ +OH^-
    So, the concentration of [NaOH] = \frac{0.3\times 1000}{200\times 40} M = 0.0375 M

    \therefore [OH^-] = [NaOH] = 0.0375 M

    We know that ,
    [H^+] = \frac{K_w}{[OH^-]} = \frac{10^{-14}}{0.0375} = 2.66\times 10^{-13}

    Now, P^H = - \log[H^+]
    \\=- \log(2.66\times 10^{-13})\\ =12.57

    Question 7.49(d) Calculate the pH of the following solutions:

    1mL of 13.6 M HCl is diluted with water to give 1 litre of solution.

    Answer :

    We know that,
    M 1 V 1 (before dilution) = M 2 V 2 (after dilution)

    initially V 1 = 1mL and M 1 = 13.6 M
    and V 2 = 1L and M 2 = ?

    By putting all these values we get,

    M_2 = \frac{13.6\times 10^{-3}}{1}=1.36\times 10^{-2}
    \therefore [H^+]=1.36\times 10^{-2}

    Thus P^H = -\log [H^+] = -\log(1.36\times 10^{-2})
    = 1.86 (approx)

    Question 7.50 The degree of ionization of a 0.1M bromoacetic acid solution is 0.132. Calculate the pH of the solution and the pK a of bromoacetic acid.

    Answer :

    We have,

    Degree of ionization(a) = 0.132
    Concentration of bromoacetic acid (C) = 0.1 M

    Thus the concentration of H_{3}O^+ = C.a
    = 0.0132

    Therefore
    p^H = -\log[H^+] = -\log(0.0132)
    = 1.879

    Now, we know that,
    K_a = C.a^2
    So, pK_a = -\log(C.a^2)
    \\=-\log (0.1\times (0.0132)^2)\\ =-\log (0.0017)\\ =2.76 (approx)

    Question 7.51 The pH of 0.005M codeine \left ( C_{18}H_{21}NO_{3} \right ) solution is 9.95. Calculate its ionization constant and pK b.

    Answer :

    We have,
    C = 0.005 M
    P^H = 9.95 and P^{OH} = 14 - 9.95 = 4.05

    we know that P^{OH} = -\log[OH^-]
    4.05 = -\log [OH^-]

    By taking antilog on both sides we get.

    concentration of [OH^-] = 8.91 \times 10^{-5}

    C.a = 8.91 \times 10^{-5}
    So, a = 1.782\times 10^{-2}

    We know that,
    K_b = C.a^2
    \\= 0.005 \times (1.782\times 10^{-2})^2\\ =0.0158\times 10^{-4}

    Thus
    pK_b = -\log (K_b)
    \\= -\log (0.0158\times 10^{-4})\\ =5.80

    Question 7.52 What is the pH of 0.001M aniline solution? Calculate the degree of ionization of aniline in the solution. Also, calculate the ionization constant of the conjugate acid of aniline.(K b = 4.27\times 10^{-10} )

    Answer :

    We have,
    C = 0.001 M
    K_b = 4.27\times 10^{-10}
    Degree of inozation of aniline (a) = ?
    Ionization constant of the conjugate acid ( K_a ) = ?

    We know that
    K_b = C.a^2
    4.27\times 10^{-10} = (0.001) a^2
    Thus a={\sqrt{4270\times 10^{-10}}}
    = 65.34\times 10^{-4}

    Then [Base] = C.a = ( 65.34\times 10^{-4} )( 0.001 )
    = 0.653\times 10^{-5}

    Now, P^{OH} = -\log (0.65\times 10^{-5})=6.187
    P^H = 14-P^{OH}
    = 14 - 6.187
    = 7.813

    It is known that,

    K_a\times K_b = K_w
    So, K_a = \frac{10^{-14}}{4.27\times10^{-10}}
    =2.34\times 10^{-5} This is ionization constant.

    Question 7.53(a) Calculate the degree of ionization of 0.05M acetic acid if its pK a value is 4.74. How is the degree of dissociation affected when its solution also contains

    0.01M

    Answer :

    We have,
    C = 0.05 M
    pK_a = 4.74 = -\log(K_a)
    By taking antilog on both sides we get,
    (K_a) = 1.82\times 10^{-5} = C.(\alpha)^2
    from here we get the value of \alpha= \sqrt{\frac{1.82\times 10^{-5}}{5\times10^{-2}}}
    = 1.908\times 10^{-2}

    After adding hydrochloric acid, the concentration of H^+ ions increases and due to that the equilibrium shifts towards the backward direction. It means dissociation will decrease.

    (i) when 0.01 HCl is taken
    CH_{3}COOH\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COO^- +H^+
    Initial conc. 0.05 0 0
    after dissociation 0.05 - x 0.001+ x x

    As the dissociation is very small.
    So we can write 0.001+ x \approx 0.001 and 0.05 - x \approx 0.05

    Now, K_a= \frac{[CH_{3}COO^-][H^+]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}
    \\=\frac{(0.001)(x)}{(0.05)}\\ =\frac{x}{50}

    So, the value of x = \frac{(1.82\times10^{-5})(0.05)}{0.01}

    Now degree of dissociation = (amount dissociated) / (amount taken)

    = \frac{1.82\times 10^{-3}(0.05)}{0.05}
    = 1.82\times 10^{-3}

    Question 7.53(b) Calculate the degree of ionization of 0.05M acetic acid if its pK a value is 4.74. How is the degree of dissociation affected when its solution also contains

    0.1M in HCl ?

    Answer :

    Let the x amount of acetic acid is dissociated in this case

    CH_{3}COOH\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COO^- +H^+

    Initial conc. 0.05 0 0
    after dissociation 0.05 - x 0.1+ x x

    As the dissociation is very small.
    So we can write 0.1+ x \approx 0.1 and 0.05 - x \approx 0.05

    K_a= \frac{[CH_{3}COO^-][H^+]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}
    \\=\frac{(0.1)(x)}{(0.05)}\\ =2x

    So, the value of x = \frac{(1.82\times10^{-4})(0.05)}{0.1}

    Now the degree of dissociation = (amount dissociated) / (amount is taken)

    = \frac{1.82\times 10^{-4}(0.05)}{0.05}
    = 1.82\times 10^{-4}

    Question 7.54 The ionization constant of dimethylamine is 5.4 × 10 -4 . Calculate its degree of ionization in its 0.02M solution. What percentage of dimethylamine is ionized if the solution is also 0.1M in NaOH?

    Answer :

    We have,

    (Degree of ionization) K_b = 5.4\times 10^{-4}
    Concentration of dimethylamine = 0.02 M

    \therefore \alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_b}{C}}= \sqrt{\frac{5.4\times 10^{-4}}{0.02}}
    \alpha = 0.1643

    If we add 0.1 M of sodium hydroxide. It is a strong base so, it goes complete ionization

    NaOH\rightleftharpoons Na^++OH^-
    (0.1 M) (0.1 M)

    and also,

    (CH_{3})_2NH+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons (CH_{3})_2NH^+_2+OH^-
    0.02- x x x

    [OH^-]=x+0.1\approx 0.1 (since the dissociation is very small)

    Therefore,

    K_b = \frac{x(0.1)}{0.02}
    x=5.4\times 10^{-4}(\frac{0.02}{0.1})
    =0.0054

    Hence in the presece of 0.1 M of sodium hydroxide , 0.54% of dimethylamine get dissociated.

    Question 7.55(a) Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration in the following biological fluids whose pH are given below:

    Human muscle-fluid, 6.83

    Answer :

    We have P^H = 6.83

    It is known that P^H = -\log[H^+]

    Therefore,
    6.83= -\log[H^+]
    By taking antilog on both sides we get,
    [H^+]= 1.48\times 10^{-7}M

    Question 7.55(b) Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration in the following biological fluids whose pH are given below:

    Human stomach fluid, 1.2

    Answer :

    We have P^H = 1.2

    It is known that P^H = -\log[H^+]

    Therefore,
    1.2= -\log[H^+]
    By taking antilog on both sides we get,
    [H^+]= 0.063\ M

    Question 7.55(c) Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration in the following biological fluids whose pH are given below:

    Human blood, 7.38

    Answer :

    we have P^H = 7.38

    It is known that P^H = -\log[H^+]

    Therefore,
    7.38 = -\log[H^+]
    By taking antilog on both sides we get,
    [H^+]= 4.17\times 10^{-8}\ M

    Question 7.55(d) Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration in the following biological fluids whose pH are given below:

    Human saliva, 6.4.

    Answer :

    we have P^H = 6.4

    It is known that P^H = -\log[H^+]

    Therefore,
    6.4 = -\log[H^+]
    By taking antilog on both sides we get,
    [H^+]= 3.98\times 10^{-7}\ M

    Question 7.56 The pH of milk, black coffee, tomato juice, lemon juice and egg white are 6.8, 5.0, 4.2, 2.2 and 7.8 respectively. Calculate corresponding hydrogen ion concentration in each

    Answer :

    We already know that p^H can be calculated as- -\log[H^+]
    to calculate the concentration of [H^+] = antilog (- p^H )

    Thus, the hydrogen ion concentration of followings p^H values are-

    (i) p^H of milk = 6.8
    Since, p^H=-\log[H^+]
    6.8 = -\log[H^+]
    \log[H^+] = -6.8

    [H^+] = anitlog(-6.8)

    = 1.5\times10^{-7}M


    (ii) p^H of black coffee = 5.0

    Since, p^H=-\log[H^+]

    5.0 = -\log[H^+]

    \log[H^+] = -5.0

    [H^+] = anitlog(-5.0)

    = 10^{-5}M


    (iii) p^H of tomato juice = 4.2

    Since, p^H=-\log[H^+]

    4.2 = -\log[H^+]

    \log[H^+] = -4.2

    [H^+] = anitlog(-4.2)

    = 6.31\times10^{-5}M


    (iv) p^H of lemon juice = 2.2

    Since, p^H=-\log[H^+]

    2.2 = -\log[H^+]

    \log[H^+] = -2.2

    [H^+] = anitlog(-2.2)

    = 6.31\times10^{-3}M

    (v) p^H of egg white = 7.8

    Since, p^H=-\log[H^+]

    7.8 = -\log[H^+]

    \log[H^+] = -7.8

    [H^+] = anitlog(-7.8)

    = 1.58\times10^{-8}M

    Question 7.57 If 0.561 g of KOH is dissolved in water to give 200 mL of solution at 298 K. Calculate the concentrations of potassium, hydrogen and hydroxyl ions.What is its pH?

    Answer :

    We have 0.562 g of potassium hydroxide ( KOH ). On dissolving in water gives 200 mL of solution.
    Therefore, concentration of [KOH(aq)] = \frac{0.561\times 1000}{200}g/L

    = 2.805 g/L

    =2.805 \times \frac{1}{56.11} M=0.05M
    KOH(aq) \rightarrow K^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)
    It is a strong base. So, that it goes complete dissociation.

    [OH^-] = 0.05M = [K^+]

    It is known that,

    \\K_w = [H^+][OH^-]\\ {[H^+]}=\frac{K_w}{[OH^-]}
    =\frac{10^{-14}}{0.05} = 2\times 10^{-13}M

    Therefore,
    p^H = -\log (2\times 10^{-13})=12.69

    Question 7.58 The solubility of Sr(OH)_2 at 298 K is 19.23 g/L of solution. Calculate the concentrations of strontium and hydroxyl ions and the pH of the solution.

    Answer :

    By given abova data, we know the solubility of Sr(OH)_2 at 298 K = 19.23 g/L

    So, concentration of [Sr(OH)_2]

    = 19.23 / 121.63 M (Molecular weight of Sr(OH)_2 = 121.63 u)

    = 0.1581 M

    Sr(OH)_2(aq) \rightarrow Sr^{2+}(aq) + 2 (OH^-)(aq)

    \therefore Sr^{2+} = 0.1581M
    and the concentration of [OH^-] = 2 \times 0.1581M = 0.3162 M
    Now

    It is known that,
    K_w = [OH^-] [H^+]

    [H^+] = \frac{10^{-14}}{0.3162}
    = 3.16 \times 10^{-14}

    Therefore p^H = -\log(3.16 \times 10^{-14}) =13.5

    Question 7.59 The ionization constant of propanoic acid is 1.32\times 10^{-5} . Calculate the degree of ionization of the acid in its 0.05M solution and also its pH. What will be its degree of ionization if the solution is 0.01M in HCl also?

    Answer :

    Let the degree of ionization of propanoic acid be \alpha . Then Let suppose we can write propanoic acid to be HA,

    It is known that,

    We have
    ionization constant of propanoic acid ( K_a )= 1.32\times 10^{-5} and the concentration is 0.005 M

    \alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_a}{C}}
    By putting the values in above formula we get,

    \alpha = \sqrt{\frac{1.32\times 10^{-5}}{0.05}} = 1.62\times 10^{-2}
    [Acid] = [H_{3}O]^+ = C. \alpha = 8.15\times 10^{-4}

    Therefore, p^H = -\log [H_{3}O^+]
    \\= -\log [8.15\times 10^{-4}]
    =3.08


    If we add 0.01M hydrochloric acid then,

    AH+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons H_{3}O^+ +A^-
    initial con C 0 0
    at equi. C - x \approx C 0.01 + x x

    Now, by using the formula of K_a = \frac{(x)(0.01)}{C-x}
    =\frac{(x)(0.01)}{C}

    The value of x is calculated as ;
    \Rightarrow 1.32\times 10^{-5}\times \frac{0.01}{0.01} = 1.32 \times 10^{-5} (Degree of ionisation)

    Question 7.60 The pH of 0.1M solution of cyanic acid (HCNO) is 2.34. Calculate the ionization constant of the acid and its degree of ionization in the solution.

    Answer :

    We have,
    Concentration of cyanic acid = 0.1 M
    p^H=-\log [H^+] = 2.34

    Therefore, the concentration of [H^+] = antilog (-2.34)
    = 4.5 \times 10^{-3}

    It is known that,
    [H^+] =C.\alpha = 4.5 \times 10^{-3}
    \alpha = \frac{4.5\times 10^{-3}}{0.1} = 4.5\times 10^{-2}

    Then Ionization constant ( K_a ) =C.\alpha^2 =
    =(0.1)(4.5\times10^{-2})^2
    =2.02\times 10^{-4}

    Question 7.61 The ionization constant of nitrous acid is 4.5 × 10 -4 . Calculate the pH of 0.04 M sodium nitrite solution and also its degree of hydrolysis.

    Answer :

    We have,
    Ionization constant of nitrous acid =4.5\times 10^{-5}
    Concentration of sodium nitrite ( NaNO_2 ) = 0.04 M
    Degree of hydrolysis can be calculated as;
    K_h = \frac{K_w}{K_a}=\frac{10^{-14}}{4.5\times 10^{-4}} = 0.22\times 10^{-10}
    Sodium nitrite is a salt of sodium hydroxide (strong base) and the weak acid ( HNO_2 )
    NO_2^-+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons HNO_{2}+OH^-
    Suppose x moles of salt undergoes hydrolysis, then the concentration of-
    [NO_2^-]=0.04-x \approx 0.04
    [HNO_2^-]=x , and
    [OH^-] = x

    Therefore
    k_h = \frac{x^2}{0.04}=0.22\times 10^{-10}
    from here we can calculate the value of x ;
    \Rightarrow x = \sqrt{0.0088\times 10^{-10}} = 0.093 \times 10^{-5} = [OH^-]

    \Rightarrow [H_3O^+] = \frac{K_w}{[OH^-]} = \frac{10^{-14}}{0.093\times 10^{-5}}
    =10.75 \times 10^{-9} M

    Now p^H = -\log (10.75 \times 10^{-9} M) = 7.96

    Therefore the degree of hydrolysis

    Question 7.62 A 0.02M solution of pyridinium hydrochloride has pH = 3.44. Calculate the ionization constant of pyridine.

    Answer :

    Given,
    p^H = 3.44

    We know that

    p^H=-\log [H^+]
    By taking antilog on both sides we get,
    [H^+] = antilog (- 3.44)

    \therefore [H^+] = 3.63\times 10^{-4}

    pyridinium hydrochloride completely ionised.

    Then K_h = (conc. of products)/ (conc, of reactants)
    = \frac{ ( 3.63\times10^{-2} )^2 }{0.02} (? Concentration is 0.02M)

    \Rightarrow K_h = 6.58 \times 10^-6

    Now,
    K_h = K_w / K_a

    \Rightarrow Ka = K_w / K_h


    = 10^{-14} / 6.58 \times 10^{-6} = 1.51 \times 10^{-9} (approx)

    Question 7.63 Predict if the solutions of the following salts are neutral, acidic or basic: NaCl, KBr,NaCN,NH_{4}NO_{3},NaNO_{2}and KF

    Answer :

    Salts of strong acid and strong base are neutral in nature for example-

    • NaCl (NaOH + HCl)
    • KBr(KOH+ HBr)

    Salts of a strong base and weak acid are basic in nature for example-

    • NaCN(HCN+NaOH)
    • NaNO_{2}(HNO_{2}+NaOH)
    • KF (KOH+HF)

    Salts of strong acid and a weak base are acidic in nature for example-

    • NH_4NO_{3} (NH_4OH+HNO_{2})

    Question 7.64 The ionization constant of chloroacetic acid is 1.35 × 10 -3 . What will be the pH of 0.1M acid and its 0.1M sodium salt solution?

    Answer :

    We have,
    Ionisation constant of chloroacetic acid( K_a ) is 1.35\times 10^{-3}
    The concentration of acid = 0.1 M
    Ionisation if acid, =
    ClCH_2COOH\rightleftharpoons ClCH_2COO^-+H^+

    We know that,
    \Rightarrow K_a =\frac{[ClCH_2COO^-][H^+]}{[ClCH_2COOH]} ....................(i)
    As it completely ionised
    [ClCH_2COO^-]=[H^+]

    Putting the values in eq (i)
    1.35\times 10^{-3} = \frac{[H^+]^2}{0.02}
    [H^+] = \sqrt{1.35\times 10^{-3}\times 0.02}=1.16\times 10^{-2}
    Therefore, pH of the solution = -\log (1.16\times 10^{-2})
    = 2-\log(1.16)
    = 1.94

    Now,

    0.1 M ClCH_2COONa (sod. chloroacetate) is basic due to hydrolysis-

    ClCH_2COO^-+ \: H_2O\rightleftharpoons CH_2ClCOOH+OH^-

    For a salt of strong base+strong acid

    \\pH=7+\frac{pK_a+logC}{2}=7+\frac{2.87+log0.1}{2}\\pH=7.94

    Question 7.65 Ionic product of water at 310 K is 2.7 × 10 -14 . What is the pH of neutral water at this temperature?

    Answer :

    We have the ionic product of water at 310 K is 2.7 \times 10^{-14}
    It is known that,
    ionic product K_w = [H^+][OH^-]

    SInce [H^+]=[OH^-] , therefore K_w = [H^+]^2

    \Rightarrow K_w at 310 K is 2.7 \times 10^{-14}
    \therefore K_w = 2.7\times 10^{-14} = [H^+]^2
    here we can calculate the value of [H^+] concentration.

    [H^+] = \sqrt{2.7 \times 10^{-14}} = 1.64 \times 10^{-7}

    Thus, p^H = -\log[H^+]
    = -\log(1.64\times 10^{-7})
    = 6.78

    Hence the p^H of neutral water is 6.78

    Question 7.66(a) Calculate the pH of the resultant mixtures:

    10 mL of 0.2M Ca(OH) 2 + 25 mL of 0.1M HCl

    Answer :

    Given that,
    Vol. of 0.2 M Ca(OH)_2 = 10 mL
    Vol. of 0.1 M HCl = 25 mL

    therefore, by using the formula,

    M(OH^-)= \frac{M_1V_1(base)-M_2V_2(acid)}{V_1+V_2}
    By substituting the value in these equations, we get;

    \\\Rightarrow \frac{(0.2 \times 2)- (0.1\times 2)}{10+25}\\ =\frac{1.5}{25}=0.06

    Now, p^{OH} = -\log[OH^-]
    \\= -\log(0.06)\\ =1.221

    since p^H+p^{OH} = 14
    p^H=14-p^{OH}
    = 14-1.221
    = 12.78

    Question 7.66(b) Calculate the pH of the resultant mixtures:

    10 mL of 0.01M H 2 SO 4 + 10 mL of 0.01M Ca(OH) 2

    Answer :

    In this case, both the solutions have the same number of moles of H^+ and OH^- , therefore they both can get completely neutralised. Hence the pH = 7.0

    Question 7.66(c) Calculate the pH of the resultant mixtures:

    c) 10 mL of 0.1M H 2 SO 4 + 10 mL of 0.1M KOH

    Answer :

    Given that,

    Volume of 0.1 M KOH = 10 mL, and

    Volume of 0.1 M H_2SO_{4} = 10 mL

    So, by using the formula of,

    M(H^+)=\frac{M_1V_1(acid)-M_2V_2(base)}{V_1+V_2}
    By putting the values we get,

    \\\Rightarrow \frac{2(0.1\times 10)-0.1\times 10}{10+10}\\ =\frac{1}{20}\\ =5\times 10^{-2}

    Hence, pH = -\log[H^+] = -\log(5\times 10^{-2})= 1.30

    Question 7.67 Determine the solubilities of silver chromate, barium chromate, ferric hydroxide, lead chloride and mercurous iodide at 298K from their solubility product constants given in Table. Determine also the molarities of individual ions.

    Answer :

    Solubility product is the product of ionic concentrations in a saturated solution.
    K_{sp}=[A^+][B^-]
    (i) silver chromate ( Ag_2CrO_{4} )
    Ionization of silver chromate

    Ag_2CrO_{4}\rightleftharpoons 2Ag^++CrO_{4}^{2-}
    Let " s " be the solubility of Ag_2CrO_{4}
    [Ag^+] = 2s
    [CrO_{4}^{2-}] = s
    According to the table K_{sp} of Ag_2CrO_{4} = 1.1\times 10^{-12}

    \\\Rightarrow 1.1\times 10^{-12} = (2s)^2.s\\ =1.1\times 10^{-12} =2s^3

    s = \sqrt[3]{\frac{1.1\times 10^{-12}}{4}}
    =0.65 \times 10^{-4}

    (ii) Barium chromate ( BaCrO_{4} )
    Ionization of silver chromate

    BaCrO_{4}\rightleftharpoons Ba^{2+}+CrO_{4}^{2-}
    Let " s " be the solubility of BaCrO_{4}
    [Ba^{2+}] = s
    [CrO_{4}^{2-}] = s
    According to the table K_{sp} of BaCrO_{4} = 1.2\times 10^{-12}

    \\\Rightarrow 1.2\times 10^{-10} = s.s\\ =1.1\times 10^{-10} =s^2

    s = \sqrt{\frac{1.2\times 10^{-10}}{1}}
    =1.09 \times 10^{-5}

    (iii) Ferric hydroxide ( Fe(OH)_{3} )
    Ionization of Ferric hydroxide

    Fe(OH)_3\rightleftharpoons Fe^{3+}+ 3OH^-
    Let " s " be the solubility of Fe(OH)_{3}
    [Fe^{3+}] = s
    [OH^-] = 3s
    According to the table K_{sp} of Fe(OH)_{3} = 1.0\times 10^{-38}

    \\\Rightarrow 1.0\times 10^{-38} = s.(3s)^3\\ =1.0\times 10^{-38} =27s^4

    s = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1.0\times 10^{-38}}{27}}
    =1.39 \times 10^{-10}

    (iv)

    Lead chloride ( PbCl_2 )
    Ionization of Lead chloride

    PbCl_2\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}+2Cl^-
    Let " s " be the solubility of PbCl_2
    [Pb^{2+}] = s
    [Cl^-] = 2s
    According to the table K_{sp} of PbCl_2 = 1.6\times 10^{-5}

    \\\Rightarrow 1.6\times 10^{-5} = s.(2s)^2\\ =1.6\times 10^{-5} =4s^3

    s = \sqrt[3]{\frac{1.6\times 10^{-5}}{4}}
    =1.58 \times 10^{-2}

    So molarity of Pb^{2+}=1.58 \times 10^{-2}M and molarity of Cl^{-}=3.16 \times 10^{-2}M

    Question 7.68 The solubility product constant of Ag 2 CrO 4 and AgBr is 1.1 × 10 -12 and 5.0 × 10 -13 respectively. Calculate the ratio of the molarities of their saturated solutions.

    Answer :

    silver chromate ( Ag_2CrO_{4} )
    Ionization of silver chromate

    Ag_2CrO_{4}\rightleftharpoons 2Ag^++CrO_{4}^{2-}
    Let " s " be the solubility of Ag_2CrO_{4}
    [Ag^+] = 2s
    [CrO_{4}^{2-}] = s
    K_{sp} of Ag_2CrO_{4} = 1.1\times 10^{-12}

    \\\Rightarrow 1.1\times 10^{-12} = (2s)^2.s\\ =1.1\times 10^{-12} =2s^3

    s = \sqrt[3]{\frac{1.1\times 10^{-12}}{4}}
    =0.65 \times 10^{-4}

    Ionization of Silver bromide ( AgBr )
    AgBr\rightleftharpoons Ag^++Br^-

    K_{sp} of AgBr = 5\times 10^{-13}

    [Ag^+] = s'
    [Br^-] = s'

    \\\Rightarrow 5\times 10^{-13} = s'.s'\\ =5\times 10^{-13} =s'^2

    s' = \sqrt{\frac{5\times 10^{-13}}{1}}=\sqrt{0.5\times 10^{-12}}
    =7.07 \times 10^{-7}

    Now, the ratio of solubilities
    \Rightarrow \frac{s}{s'}=\frac{6.5\times 10^{-5}}{1.1\times 10^{-12}}
    = 9.91

    Question 7.69 Equal volumes of 0.002 M solutions of sodium iodate and cupric chlorate are mixed together. Will it lead to precipitation of copper iodate? (For cupric iodate K sp = 7.4 × 10 -8 ).

    Answer :

    We have,
    solubility product ( K_{sp} ) of cupric iodate = 7.4 \times 10^{-8}

    When equal volumes of sodium iodate and cupric chlorate are mixed together the molar concentration of both the solution becomes half (= 0.001)

    Ionization of cupric iodate is;

    Cu(IO_3)_2\rightleftharpoons Cu^{2+}+2IO_3^-
    0.001 M 0.001 M

    So, K_{sp} can be calculated as;

    K_{sp}= [Cu^{2+}][IO_3^-]^2
    = (0.001)^3 = 10^{-9}

    Sinc eionic product is less than the K_{sp} so no precipitation occurs.

    Question 7.70 The ionization constant of benzoic acid is 6.46 × 10 -5 and Ksp for silver benzoate is 2.5 × 10 -13 . How many times is silver benzoate more soluble in a buffer of pH 3.19 compared to its solubility in pure water?

    Answer :

    It is given that,
    pH of buffer solution is 3.19. So, the concentration of H^+ ion can be calculated as;
    [H^+ ] = anti\log(-pH)
    = antilog (-3.19)
    = 6.46\times 10^{-4}M

    Ionization of benzoic acid;

    C_6H_5COOH\rightleftharpoons C_6H_5COO^-+H_3O^+
    It is given that K_a = 6.46\times 10^{-5}
    Therefore,
    K_a =\frac{[C_H_5COO^-][H_3O^+]}{[C_H_5COOH]}
    \frac{[C_H_5COO^-]}{[C_H_5COOH]}=\frac{[H_3O^+]}{K_a} = 10

    Question 7.71 What is the maximum concentration of equimolar solutions of ferrous sulphate and sodium sulphide so that when mixed in equal volumes, there is no precipitation of iron sulphide? (For iron sulphide, K sp = 6.3 × 10 -18 ).

    Answer :

    We have,
    The solubility product of the FeS = 6.3\times 10^{-18}

    Equals number of moles of ferrous sulphate and sodium sulphide are mixed in an equal volume.

    Let s be the concentration of ferrous sulphate and sodium sulphide. On mixing the equimolar solution, the volume of the concentration becomes half.
    So, [FeSO_4]=[Na_2S] = \frac{s}{2}M

    The ionisation of ferrous sulphide;
    FeS\rightleftharpoons Fe^{2+}+S^{2-}
    Therefore, for no precipitation, ionic product = solubility product
    \\K_{sp} = (\frac{s}{2})(\frac{s}{2})\\ 6.3\times 10^{-18} = \frac{s^2}{4}\\
    By solving the above equation, we get
    s=5.02\times 10^{-9}

    The maximum concentration of both the solution is s=5.02\times 10^{-9} M

    Question 7.72 What is the minimum volume of water required to dissolve 1g of calcium sulphate at 298 K? (For calcium sulphate, K sp is 9.1 × 10 -6 )

    Answer :

    We have,
    The solubility product of calcium sulphate is 9.1\times 10^{-6} .
    given mass of calcium sulphate = 1g

    Ionization of calcium sulphate;

    CaSO_4\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+SO_{4}^{2-}
    Therefore,
    K_s_p = [Ca^{2+}][SO_{4}^{2-}]

    Let the solubility of calcium sulphate be s .
    Then,
    \\K_{sp} = s^2\\ 9.1\times 10^{-6}=s^2\\ s = \sqrt{9.1\times 10^{-6}}
    =3.02\times 10^{-3} mol/L

    Thus,
    mass/ (mol. wt) \times volume =3.02\times 10^{-3} Molarity
    mass = 3.02\times 136\times 10^{-3} = 0.41 g

    So, that to dissolve 1 g of calcium sulphate we need = 1/0.41 L = 2.44 L of water.

    Question 7.73 The concentration of sulphide ion in 0.1M HCl solution saturated with hydrogen sulphide is 1.0 × 10 -19 M. If 10 mL of this is added to 5 mL of 0.04 M solution of the following: FeSO_{4},MnCl_{2},ZnCl_{2} and CdCl_{2}. in which of these solutions precipitation will take place?

    Answer :

    We have,
    the concentration of [S^{2-}]=1\times 10^{-19} and the volume of the solution containing sulphur ion = 10 mL.
    Volume of metal salts solution added = 5mL
    Before mixing,

    [S^{2-}]=1\times 10^{-19} M
    [M^{2+}]=0.04 M

    After mixing,

    Volume = 15 mL

    So, the concentration of [S^{2-}]=1\times 10^{-19}\times \frac{10}{15}
    =6.67\times 10^{-20}M

    concentration of [M^{2+}]=0.04 M\times \frac{5}{15}
    =1.33\times 10^{-2}

    So, the ionic product = [M^{2+}][S^{2-}]
    = (6.67 \times 10^{-20})(1.33\times 10^{-2})
    = 8.87 \times 10^{-22}

    For the precipitation of the solution, the ionic product should be greater than the corresponding K_s_p values.
    K_s_p of FeS,\ MnS,\ ZnS,\ CdS are 6.3\times 10^{-18},\2.5\times 10^{-13},\ 1.6\times 10^{-24} and 8\times 10^{-27} respectively.

    Hence precipitation will take place in CdCl_2 and ZnCl_2 metal salts.
