B
$1.8 \times 10^{22}$
C
$1.0 \times 10^{22}$
D
$2.1 \times 10^{22}$

Solution

(A) For a simple cubic unit cell, the number of atoms per unit cell $(z)$ $= 1$.
Edge length $(a)$ $= 336 \ pm = 3.36 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.
Density $(d)$ $= \frac{z \times M}{a^3 \times N_A}$, where $M$ is the molar mass and $N_A$ is Avogadro's number $(6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1})$.
$9.4 = \frac{1 \times M}{(3.36 \times 10^{-8})^3 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}}$.
$M = 9.4 \times (3.793 \times 10^{-23}) \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \approx 214.65 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Number of atoms in $5 \ g = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} \times N_A = \frac{5}{214.65} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \approx 1.4 \times 10^{22}$ atoms.

What is the total volume occupied by atoms in a $bcc$ unit cell (in $\%$)?
A
$68$
B
$80$
C
$74$
D
$52.36$

Solution

(A) In a $bcc$ (body-centered cubic) unit cell,the number of atoms per unit cell is $Z = 2$.
The relationship between the edge length $a$ and the atomic radius $r$ is $4r = \sqrt{3}a$,or $a = \frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}}$.
The volume of the unit cell is $V_{cell} = a^3 = (\frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}})^3 = \frac{64r^3}{3\sqrt{3}}$.
The volume occupied by $2$ atoms is $V_{atoms} = 2 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{8}{3} \pi r^3$.
The packing efficiency is $\frac{V_{atoms}}{V_{cell}} \times 100 = \frac{(8/3) \pi r^3}{(64/3\sqrt{3}) r^3} \times 100 = \frac{\sqrt{3} \pi}{8} \times 100 \approx 68 \%$.

Which of the following statements is not true about ionic solids?
A
The constituent particles of ionic solids are cations and anions.
B
Ionic solids are hard and brittle.
C
In these,constituent particles are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.
D
Pure ionic solids are good conductors of electricity in the solid state.

Solution

(D) Ionic solids consist of ions held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction,making them hard and brittle. However,in the solid state,the ions are fixed in their lattice positions and are not free to move. Therefore,they are poor conductors of electricity in the solid state. They only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water,as the ions become free to move. Thus,statement $D$ is incorrect.

C
The crystal as whole remains electrically neutral because equal number of cations and anions are present.
D
The ions of ionic compound must have low co-ordination number.

Solution

(A) Frenkel defect occurs in ionic compounds where there is a large difference in the size of ions,specifically where the cation is much smaller than the anion. Option $A$ is incorrect because Frenkel defect is characteristic of compounds with a large difference in ionic sizes,whereas Schottky defect occurs in compounds where cation and anion sizes are almost equal.

First,convert the pressure from $mm \ Hg$ to $atm$:
$p = \frac{260 \ mm \ Hg}{760 \ mm \ Hg \ atm^{-1}} \approx 0.3421 \ atm$.
Now,calculate the solubility:
$S = 0.159 \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ atm^{-1} \times 0.3421 \ atm \approx 0.05439 \ mol \ dm^{-3}$.

What is the relation between the molar mass of a solute and the boiling point elevation?
A
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times K_b \times W_2}{\Delta T_b \times W_1}$
B
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times \Delta T_b \times W_2}{K_b \times W_1}$
C
$M_2 = \frac{\Delta T_b \times W_1}{1000 \times K_b \times W_2}$
D
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times K_b \times W_1}{\Delta T_b \times W_2}$

Solution

(A) The boiling point elevation is given by the formula: $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $(m)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute $(n_2)$ per kilogram of solvent ($W_1$ in grams): $m = \frac{n_2 \times 1000}{W_1}$.
Since $n_2 = \frac{W_2}{M_2}$,where $W_2$ is the mass of solute and $M_2$ is the molar mass of solute,we substitute this into the molality equation:
$m = \frac{W_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times W_1}$.
Substituting this into the boiling point elevation formula:
$\Delta T_b = K_b \times \frac{W_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times W_1}$.
Rearranging for $M_2$,we get: $M_2 = \frac{1000 \times K_b \times W_2}{\Delta T_b \times W_1}$.

Given: $\frac{\Delta P}{P_{A}^0} = 0.06$,$W_{B} = 2.3 \ g$,$W_{A} = 46 \ g$,$M_{A} = 78 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $0.06 = \frac{2.3}{M_{B}} \times \frac{78}{46}$
$0.06 = \frac{2.3}{M_{B}} \times 1.6956$
$M_{B} = \frac{2.3 \times 1.6956}{0.06} = \frac{3.9}{0.06} = 65 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

Here,$\Delta T_f = 0.2 \ K$,$K_f = 1.71 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,$M_B = 60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,and $W_A = 98 \ g$.
The molality $m$ is given by $\frac{W_B \times 1000}{M_B \times W_A}$.
Substituting the values: $0.2 = 1.71 \times \frac{W_B \times 1000}{60 \times 98}$.
Solving for $W_B$: $W_B = \frac{0.2 \times 60 \times 98}{1.71 \times 1000} = \frac{1176}{1710} \approx 0.687 \ g$.

Molality $m = \frac{w_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times w_1}$,where $w_2 = 5 \ g$ (solute mass),$w_1 = 70 \ g$ (solvent mass),and $M_2$ is the molar mass of the solute.
Substituting the values: $2.5 = 3.5 \times \frac{5 \times 1000}{M_2 \times 70}$.
$M_2 = \frac{3.5 \times 5 \times 1000}{2.5 \times 70} = \frac{17500}{175} = 100 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

B
$110 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$100 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D
$75 \ g \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The formula for freezing point depression is $\Delta T_f = K_f \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
The mass of the solvent $(W_A)$ is calculated as: $W_A = \text{density} \times \text{volume} = 0.8 \ g \ mL^{-1} \times 100 \ mL = 80 \ g$.
Substituting the given values into the formula: $\Delta T_f = K_f \times \frac{W_B}{M_B} \times \frac{1000}{W_A(g)}$.
$0.75 = 5 \times \frac{1.5}{M_B} \times \frac{1000}{80}$.
$0.75 = 5 \times \frac{1.5}{M_B} \times 12.5$.

$0.3 = \frac{W \times 0.0821 \times 300}{324}$.
$W = \frac{0.3 \times 324}{0.0821 \times 300} = \frac{97.2}{24.63} \approx 3.946 \ g \approx 3.95 \ g$.

Which of the following solutes dissolved in water,having the same concentration,exhibits the highest value of colligative property?
A
Urea
B
Glucose
C
Sucrose
D
Sodium chloride

Solution

(D) Colligative properties depend on the number of particles in the solution. The relationship is given by the van't Hoff factor $(i)$.
For non-electrolytes like urea,glucose,and sucrose,the value of $i$ is $1$.
For sodium chloride $(NaCl)$,which is a strong electrolyte,it dissociates as $NaCl \rightarrow Na^+ + Cl^-$,resulting in $i = 2$.
Since the colligative property is directly proportional to the van't Hoff factor $(i)$,the solute with the highest $i$ value will exhibit the highest colligative property.

What is the relation between the depression in freezing point and the molar mass of a non-volatile solute?
A
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \cdot K_f \cdot W_1}{\Delta T_f \cdot W_2}$
B
$M_2 = \frac{\Delta T_f \cdot W_1}{1000 \cdot K_f \cdot W_2}$
C
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \cdot \Delta T_f \cdot W_2}{K_f \cdot W_1}$
D
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \cdot K_f \cdot W_2}{\Delta T_f \cdot W_1}$

Solution

(D) The depression in freezing point $(\Delta T_f)$ is given by the formula: $\Delta T_f = K_f \cdot m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $(m)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute $(n_2)$ per kilogram of solvent $(W_1 \text{ in grams})$: $m = \frac{W_2 \cdot 1000}{M_2 \cdot W_1}$.
Substituting this into the depression in freezing point equation: $\Delta T_f = K_f \cdot \frac{W_2 \cdot 1000}{M_2 \cdot W_1}$.
Rearranging the formula to solve for the molar mass of the solute $(M_2)$: $M_2 = \frac{1000 \cdot K_f \cdot W_2}{\Delta T_f \cdot W_1}$.

Find the freezing point depression of a solution having molality $0.25 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$. $(K_{f} = 4.0 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1})$ (in $K$)
A
$2.5$
B
$3.0$
C
$2.0$
D
$1.0$

Solution

(D) The formula for freezing point depression is $\Delta T_{f} = K_{f} \times m$.
Given:
Molality $(m) = 0.25 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$
Cryoscopic constant $(K_{f}) = 4.0 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
Calculation:
$\Delta T_{f} = 4.0 \times 0.25 = 1.0 \ K$
Thus,the freezing point depression is $1.0 \ K$.

Find the molar mass of solute when $2 \ g$ is dissolved in $60 \ g$ of benzene,and the relative lowering of vapour pressure is $0.06$. (Molar mass of benzene is $78 \ g \ mol^{-1}$)
A
$17.4 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
B
$35.2 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$43.3 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D
$24.2 \ g \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(C) The formula for relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by: $\frac{\Delta P}{P_{A}^{\circ}} = \frac{n_B}{n_A + n_B} \approx \frac{n_B}{n_A} = \frac{W_B}{M_B} \times \frac{M_A}{W_A}$
Given: $\frac{\Delta P}{P_{A}^{\circ}} = 0.06$,$W_B = 2 \ g$,$W_A = 60 \ g$,$M_A = 78 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $0.06 = \frac{2}{M_B} \times \frac{78}{60}$
$0.06 = \frac{156}{60 \times M_B}$
$M_B = \frac{156}{60 \times 0.06} = \frac{156}{3.6} = 43.33 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
Thus,the molar mass of the solute is $43.3 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

Which of the following is $NOT$ a colligative property?
A
Freezing point depression.
B
Osmotic pressure.
C
Vapour pressure of pure benzene.
D
Boiling point elevation.

Solution

(C) Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles in a given amount of solvent and not on the nature of the solute particles. The four main colligative properties are:
$1$. Relative lowering of vapour pressure
$2$. Elevation of boiling point
$3$. Depression of freezing point
$4$. Osmotic pressure
Since 'vapour pressure of pure benzene' is a property of the pure solvent and not a property dependent on the number of solute particles,it is $NOT$ a colligative property.

Calculate the freezing point of a $0.05 \ m$ aqueous solution of a non-electrolyte. (in $K$)
A
$186$
B
$272.9$
C
$93$
D
$278$

Solution

(B) The depression in freezing point is given by the formula: $\Delta T_f = K_f \times m$.
Given $K_f = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$ for water and molality $m = 0.05 \ m$.
$\Delta T_f = 1.86 \times 0.05 = 0.093 \ K$.
The freezing point of the solution $T_f$ is calculated as: $T_f = T_f^{\circ} - \Delta T_f$.
Since the freezing point of pure water $T_f^{\circ} = 273 \ K$,we have: $T_f = 273 - 0.093 = 272.907 \ K \approx 272.9 \ K$.

What is the vapour pressure of a solution containing $1.8 \ g$ of glucose in $16.2 \ g$ of water,if the vapour pressure of pure water is $32 \ mm \ Hg$ (in $mm \ Hg$)?
A
$22.2$
B
$26.6$
C
$24.6$
D
$31.7$

Solution

(D) The relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by the formula: $\frac{P_A^{\circ} - P_A}{P_A^{\circ}} = x_B = \frac{n_B}{n_A + n_B} \approx \frac{n_B}{n_A}$.
Given: $W_B$ (glucose) $= 1.8 \ g$,$M_B$ (glucose) $= 180 \ g/mol$,$W_A$ (water) $= 16.2 \ g$,$M_A$ (water) $= 18 \ g/mol$,$P_A^{\circ} = 32 \ mm \ Hg$.
Moles of glucose $(n_B)$ $= \frac{1.8}{180} = 0.01 \ mol$.
Moles of water $(n_A)$ $= \frac{16.2}{18} = 0.9 \ mol$.
Substituting values: $\frac{32 - P_A}{32} = \frac{0.01}{0.9 + 0.01} = \frac{0.01}{0.91} \approx 0.010989$.
$32 - P_A = 32 \times 0.010989 = 0.3516$.
$P_A = 32 - 0.3516 = 31.648 \ mm \ Hg \approx 31.7 \ mm \ Hg$.

Which among the following equations represents the relation between the cryoscopic constant,depression in freezing point,and molality?
A
$K_f = \frac{m}{\Delta T_f}$
B
$K_f = \Delta T_f \times m$
C
$K_f = \frac{\Delta T_f}{m}$
D
$K_f = \frac{1}{\Delta T_f \times m}$

Solution

(C) The depression in freezing point $(\Delta T_f)$ is directly proportional to the molality $(m)$ of the solution.
$\Delta T_f = K_f \times m$
Where $K_f$ is the cryoscopic constant (molal depression constant).
Rearranging the equation to solve for $K_f$ gives:
$K_f = \frac{\Delta T_f}{m}$
Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

A
$142.5$
B
$270.6$
C
$240.2$
D
$290.7$

Solution

(D) The relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by the formula: $\frac{\Delta P}{P_A^{\circ}} = x_B = \frac{n_B}{n_A + n_B}$.
For dilute solutions,$n_B \ll n_A$,so $\frac{\Delta P}{P_A^{\circ}} \approx \frac{n_B}{n_A} = \frac{W_B \times M_A}{M_B \times W_A}$.
Given: $\frac{\Delta P}{P_A^{\circ}} = 0.025$,$W_A = 612 \ g$,$M_A = 18 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,$M_B = 342 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $0.025 = \frac{W_B \times 18}{342 \times 612}$.
$W_B = \frac{0.025 \times 342 \times 612}{18}$.
$W_B = 0.025 \times 342 \times 34 = 290.7 \ g$.

A
$148 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
B
$160 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$172 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D
$136 \ g \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The formula for osmotic pressure is $\pi = CRT = \frac{n}{V} RT = \frac{w}{M_B \times V} RT$.
Given: $\pi = 0.25 \ atm$,$w = 4.5 \ g$,$V = 3 \ dm^3$,$T = 300 \ K$,and $R = 0.0821 \ dm^3 \ atm \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $0.25 = \frac{4.5}{M_B \times 3} \times 0.0821 \times 300$.
$0.25 = \frac{4.5 \times 0.0821 \times 100}{M_B}$.
$M_B = \frac{4.5 \times 8.21}{0.25} = 18 \times 8.21 = 147.78 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,$M_B \approx 148 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

A
$1.75$
B
$1.0$
C
$0.72$
D
$1.44$

Solution

(D) The osmotic pressure formula is $\pi = CRT$,where $C = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{W}{M \times V}$.
Given: $\pi = 0.245 \ atm$,$V = 2.5 \ dm^3$,$T = 300 \ K$,$M = 58 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,$R = 0.0821 \ dm^3 \ atm \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $0.245 = \frac{W}{58 \times 2.5} \times 0.0821 \times 300$.
$0.245 = \frac{W \times 24.63}{145}$.
$W = \frac{0.245 \times 145}{24.63} \approx 1.44 \ g$.

A
$2.5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
B
$2.0 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
C
$0.85 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
D
$1.17 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(D) The formula for freezing point depression is $\Delta T_f = K_f \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{0.8 \ g / 64 \ g \ mol^{-1}}{43 \ g / 1000} = \frac{0.0125 \ mol}{0.043 \ kg} \approx 0.2907 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Given $\Delta T_f = 0.34 \ K$,we have $0.34 = K_f \times 0.2907$.
$K_f = \frac{0.34}{0.2907} \approx 1.169 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Rounding to two decimal places,$K_f \approx 1.17 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.

Identify the concentration of the solution from the following such that the values of $\Delta T_{f}$ and $K_{f}$ are the same.
A
$1 \ M$
B
$1 \ m$
C
$\frac{N}{10}$
D
$1 \ N$

Solution

(B) The formula for the depression in freezing point is $\Delta T_{f} = K_{f} \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Given that $\Delta T_{f} = K_{f}$,we can substitute this into the equation: $K_{f} = K_{f} \times m$.
Dividing both sides by $K_{f}$,we get $m = 1$.
Therefore,the concentration of the solution must be $1 \ m$ (molal).

A
$64$
B
$42$
C
$50$
D
$60$

Solution

(A) The elevation in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_{b} = T_{b} - T_{b}^{\circ} = 85^{\circ}C - 76^{\circ}C = 9^{\circ}C$.
Using the formula $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m$,where $m$ is the molality:
$9 = 2.7 \times \frac{W_{B}}{120} \times \frac{1000}{160}$.
Solving for $W_{B}$:
$W_{B} = \frac{9 \times 120 \times 160}{2.7 \times 1000} = \frac{172800}{2700} = 64 \ g$.

Given: $\Delta T_f = 3 \ K$ and $K_f = 5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values into the equation: $3 = 5 \cdot m$.

$m = \frac{M_2 \times W_2}{1000 \times W_1}$
B
$m = \frac{1000 \times W_2}{M_2 \times W_1}$
C
$m = \frac{1000 \times W_1}{M_2 \times W_2}$
D
$m = \frac{M_2 \times W_1}{1000 \times W_2}$

Solution

(B) Molality $(m)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Number of moles of solute $(n_2)$ = $\frac{W_2}{M_2}$.
Mass of solvent in kg = $\frac{W_1}{1000}$.
Therefore,$m = \frac{n_2}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{W_2 / M_2}{W_1 / 1000} = \frac{1000 \times W_2}{M_2 \times W_1}$.

D
They are nuclides having the same number of neutrons but different number of protons and hence different mass numbers.

Solution

(D) Isotones are defined as atoms or nuclides that possess the same number of neutrons $(N)$ but different numbers of protons $(Z)$,which consequently leads to different mass numbers $(A = Z + N)$.
Since they have different atomic numbers,they exhibit different chemical properties and occupy different positions in the periodic table.

A
It is specific.
B
Heat released is in the range of $40-200 \ kJ/mol$.
C

Solution

(C) Chemisorption (chemical adsorption) involves the formation of strong chemical bonds between the adsorbate and the adsorbent.
$1$. It is highly specific in nature.
$2$. The enthalpy of adsorption is high,typically in the range of $40-200 \ kJ/mol$.
$3$. It is an irreversible process.
$4$. Chemisorption results in the formation of a unimolecular layer,not a multimolecular layer.
Therefore,the formation of a multimolecular layer is a characteristic of physisorption,not chemisorption.

A
$A$. Oxygen gas is passed over finely divided nickel
B
$B$. Charcoal is added to methylene blue solution
C
$C$. Chalk is dipped in ink
D
$D$. Hydrogen gas is passed over platinum

Solution

(C) Sorption is a phenomenon where both adsorption and absorption occur simultaneously.
When chalk is dipped in ink,the ink particles (solute) get adsorbed on the surface of the chalk,while the solvent (water) is absorbed into the bulk of the chalk.
Therefore,this process represents both adsorption and absorption,which is termed as sorption.

What is the effect of pressure on the extent of adsorption?
A
Increases as pressure increases continuously
B
Increases at the start as pressure increases and then remains constant
C
Decreases as pressure increases
D
No change in the extent of adsorption if pressure increases or decreases

Solution

(B) According to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm,the extent of adsorption $(x/m)$ increases with an increase in pressure $(P)$ at low pressures.
As the pressure increases further,the surface of the adsorbent becomes saturated,and the rate of adsorption decreases until it reaches a point where it becomes independent of pressure (saturation pressure).
Therefore,the extent of adsorption increases at the start and then remains constant at higher pressures.

Which of the following phenomena is exhibited by adsorption?
A
Exothermic
B
Endothermic
C

Solution

(A) Adsorption is a surface phenomenon where the concentration of molecules increases at the surface rather than in the bulk of a solid or liquid.
During adsorption,there is a decrease in the residual forces of the surface,which leads to a decrease in surface energy.
This decrease in surface energy is released as heat,making adsorption an $ \text{exothermic} $ process.
