If PCl5​ is heated in two seperate vessels of volume 5lit and 10lit respectively at 27C The extent of dissociation of PCl5​ will be:
  • A
    More in 5lit vessel.
  • B
    More in 10lit vessel.
  • C
    Equal in both vessels.
  • D
    Cannot be said.
Answer
  1. More in 10lit vessel.

Explanation:

For the reaction PCl5 ​⇔ PCl3​ + Cl2​, the forward reaction occurs with increase in the number of moles from 1 to 2. Also the reverse reaction occurs with decrease in the number of moles from 2 to 1. When the pressure of the system is increased, the backward reaction will be favoured as the reverse reaction occurs with decrease in the number of moles. Thus the dissociation of PCl5​ is suppressed. Hence, the degree of dissociation decreases. Pressure will be more in 5 L vessel than in 10 L vessel. Thus the extent of dissociation of PCl5​ will be more in 10L vessel.

The solubility of AgC1 in NaC1 solution is less than that in pure water, because of the  ________.
  • A
    Solubility product of AgC1 is less than of NaC1.
  • B
    Common ion effect.
  • C
    Both A and B.
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
  1. Common ion effect.

Explanation:

Since, NaC1 is soluble to a very significant extent, when AgC1 is added to NaCl solution, the common ion [Cl] increases in the solution. To have the solubility product or Ksp​ of AgCl constant, [Ag+] will decrease or AgCl will percipitate out from the solution. This is common ion effect.

Which one of the following mixture does not act as a buffer solution?
  • A
    Boric acid and borax.
  • B
    Sodium phosphate & disodium hydrogen phosphate.
  • C
    Sodium propionate and propionic acid.
  • D
    Sodium acetate and sodium propionate.
Answer
  1. Sodium acetate and sodium propionate.

Explanation:

An acidic buffer contains equimolar quantities of weak acid and its salt with strong base. A basic buffer contains equinolar quantities of weak base and its salt with strong acid. Sodium acetate is a salt with strong base but sodium propionate is not weak acid, it is also a salt.

Which of the following statements is true about buffer solution?
  • A
    It keeps the pH value constant in a chemical reaction.
  • B
    It decreases the pH value in a chemical reaction.
  • C
    It increases the pH value in a chemical reaction.
  • D
    It first increases and then decreases the pH value in a chemical reaction.
Answer
  1. It keeps the pH value constant in a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Buffer solutions have the capacity to react with small amounts of added acid or base without affecting the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution. Thus, the buffer solutions help to keep the pH value constant in a chemical reaction.

$\text{K}_{\text{a}_1},\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}$ and $\text{K}_{\text{a}_3}$ are the respective ionisation constants for the following reactions.
$\text{H}_2\text{S}\rightleftharpoons\text{H}^++\text{HS}^-$
$\text{H}\text{S}^-\rightleftharpoons\text{H}^++\text{S}^{2-}$
$\text{H}_2\text{S}\rightleftharpoons\text{2H}^++\text{S}^{2-}$
The correct relationship between $\text{K}_{\text{a}_1},\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}$ and $\text{K}_{\text{a}_3}$ is
  • A
    $\text{K}_{\text{a}_3}=\text{K}_{\text{a}_1}\times\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}$
  • B
    $\text{K}_{\text{a}_3}=\text{K}_{\text{a}_1}+\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}$
  • C
    $\text{K}_{\text{a}_3}=\text{K}_{\text{a}_1}-\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}$
  • D
    $\text{K}_{\text{a}_3}=\text{K}_{\text{a}_1}/\text{ K}_{\text{a}_2}$
Answer
  1. $\text{K}_{\text{a}_3}=\text{K}_{\text{a}_1}\times\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}$

Explanation:

For the reaction, $\text{H}_2\text{S}\rightleftharpoons\text{H}^++\text{HS}^-$

$\text{K}_{\text{a}_1}=\frac{[\text{H}^+][\text{HS}^-]}{[\text{H}_2\text{S}]}$

For the reaction, $\text{H}\text{S}^-\rightleftharpoons\text{H}^++\text{S}^{2-}$

$\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}=\frac{[\text{H}^+][\text{S}^{2-}]}{[\text{H}\text{S}^-]}$

When the above two reaction are added, their equilibrium constants are multiplied. Thus

$\text{K}_{\text{a}_3}=\frac{[\text{H}^+]^2[\text{S}^{2-}]}{[\text{H}_2\text{S}]}=\text{K}_{\text{a}_1}\times\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}$

Hence, $\text{K}_{\text{a}_3}=\text{K}_{\text{a}_1}\times\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}$
