If a $0.01 \ m$ aqueous solution of an electrolyte freezes at $-0.056 \ ^{\circ}C$,calculate the van't Hoff factor $(i)$ for the electrolyte. (Cryoscopic constant of water $K_{f} = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$)
A
$1.3$
B
$2.33$
C
$3.01$
D
$4.11$

Solution

(C) The formula for depression in freezing point is $\Delta T_{f} = i \times K_{f} \times m$.
Given: $\Delta T_{f} = 0 - (-0.056) = 0.056 \ K$,$K_{f} = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,and $m = 0.01 \ m$.
Substituting the values: $0.056 = i \times 1.86 \times 0.01$.
Therefore,$i = \frac{0.056}{1.86 \times 0.01} = \frac{0.056}{0.0186} \approx 3.01$.

Calculate the depression in freezing point of a solution when $4 \,g$ of a nonvolatile solute with a molar mass of $126 \,g \,mol^{-1}$ is dissolved in $80 \,mL$ of water. $[$Cryoscopic constant of water $K_f = 1.86 \,K \,kg \,mol^{-1}]$ (in $\,K$)
A
$0.55$
B
$0.74$
C
$0.86$
D
$0.96$

Solution

(B) Given: Mass of solute $(W_2) = 4 \,g$, Molar mass of solute $(M_2) = 126 \,g \,mol^{-1}$, Volume of water $= 80 \,mL$.
Since the density of water is $1 \,g/mL$, the mass of solvent $(W_1) = 80 \,g$.
The formula for depression in freezing point is $\Delta T_f = \frac{1000 \times K_f \times W_2}{M_2 \times W_1}$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta T_f = \frac{1000 \times 1.86 \times 4}{126 \times 80}$.
$\Delta T_f = \frac{7440}{10080} \approx 0.738 \,K$, which rounds to $0.74 \,K$.

Calculate the relative lowering of vapour pressure if the vapour pressure of benzene and vapour pressure of solution of non-volatile solute in benzene are $640 \ mmHg$ and $590 \ mmHg$ respectively at the same temperature.
A
$0.078$
B
$0.175$
C
$0.061$
D
$0.092$

Solution

(A) The relative lowering of vapour pressure is defined as the ratio of the decrease in vapour pressure to the vapour pressure of the pure solvent.
The formula is: $\frac{\Delta P}{P_1^0} = \frac{P_1^0 - P_s}{P_1^0}$
Given:
Vapour pressure of pure benzene $(P_1^0)$ = $640 \ mmHg$
Vapour pressure of solution $(P_s)$ = $590 \ mmHg$
Substituting the values:
$\frac{640 - 590}{640} = \frac{50}{640} = 0.078125 \approx 0.078$
Thus,the relative lowering of vapour pressure is $0.078$.

A
$160 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
B
$172 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$186 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D
$198 \ g \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(C) Given: Mass of solute $(W_2)$ = $15 \ g$,Volume of water = $200 \ mL$,so Mass of solvent $(W_1)$ = $200 \ g$ (assuming density = $1 \ g/mL$).
Depression in freezing point $(\Delta T_f)$ = $0.75 \ K$.
Cryoscopic constant $(K_f)$ = $1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
The formula for molar mass $(M_2)$ is:
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times K_f \times W_2}{\Delta T_f \times W_1}$
Substituting the values:
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times 1.86 \times 15}{0.75 \times 200}$
$M_2 = \frac{27900}{150} = 186 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$4$
D
$6$

Solution

(B) The density formula for a unit cell is given by $\rho = \frac{nM}{a^3 N_{A}}$.
Substituting the given values: $0.96 = \frac{n \times 23}{48}$.
Rearranging for $n$: $n = \frac{0.96 \times 48}{23}$.
$n = \frac{46.08}{23} \approx 2.003$.
Since $n$ represents the number of atoms per unit cell,the value is $2$.

$n$

Solution

(C) The thiocyanate ion,$SCN^{-}$,is an ambidentate ligand that possesses two potential donor atoms: nitrogen $(N)$ and sulfur $(S)$.
In any coordinate bond formation,one of these atoms acts as the donor.
Therefore,$1$ mole of $SCN^{-}$ contains $2$ moles of donor atoms.
For $2n$ moles of $SCN^{-}$,the total number of moles of donor atoms is calculated as: $2n \times 2 = 4n$ moles.

Calculate the number of atoms present in a unit cell of an element having molar mass $190 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ and density $20 \ g \ cm^{-3}$. Given that $[a^3 \cdot N_A = 38 \ cm^3 \ mol^{-1}]$.
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$6$
D
$4$

Solution

(D) The formula for density $(\rho)$ of a unit cell is given by: $\rho = \frac{M \times n}{a^3 \times N_A}$
Where $M$ is the molar mass,$n$ is the number of atoms per unit cell,$a^3$ is the volume of the unit cell,and $N_A$ is the Avogadro constant.
Given: $\rho = 20 \ g \ cm^{-3}$,$M = 190 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,and $a^3 \cdot N_A = 38 \ cm^3 \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values into the formula: $20 = \frac{190 \times n}{38}$
$n = \frac{20 \times 38}{190}$
$n = \frac{760}{190} = 4$
Therefore,the number of atoms present in the unit cell is $4$.

Identify the product '$B$' in the following reaction.
$Dry \ ice$ $\xrightarrow[Dry \ ether]{CH_3MgBr} A$ $\xrightarrow[dil. \ HCl]{H_2O} B$
A
Methanoic acid
B
Ethanoic acid
C
Methanol
D
Ethanol

Solution

(B) The reaction of dry ice $(CO_2)$ with a Grignard reagent $(CH_3MgBr)$ in the presence of dry ether forms an intermediate addition product $(A)$,which is $CH_3COOMgBr$.
$CO_2 + CH_3MgBr \xrightarrow{Dry \ ether} CH_3COOMgBr (A)$
This intermediate $(A)$ upon hydrolysis with dilute $HCl$ yields a carboxylic acid $(B)$,which is ethanoic acid $(CH_3COOH)$.
$CH_3COOMgBr + H_2O \xrightarrow{dil. \ HCl} CH_3COOH (B) + Mg(OH)Br$
Therefore,the product $B$ is ethanoic acid.

Which of the following pairs of nuclides is an example of isotones?
A
$_{17}^{35}Cl, _{17}^{37}Cl$
B
$_{18}^{40}Ar, _{19}^{40}K$
C
$_{6}^{13}C, _{5}^{11}B$
D
$_{6}^{12}C, _{5}^{11}B$

Solution

(D) Isotones are atoms of different elements that have the same number of neutrons in their nuclei.
To find the number of neutrons,we use the formula: $n = A - Z$,where $A$ is the mass number and $Z$ is the atomic number.
For $_{6}^{12}C$: $n = 12 - 6 = 6$.
For $_{5}^{11}B$: $n = 11 - 5 = 6$.
Since both have $6$ neutrons,they are isotones.

Which element from the following does $NOT$ exhibit a spin-only magnetic moment in the $+3$ oxidation state?
A
$Cr$
B
$V$
C
$Ti$
D
$Sc$

Solution

(D) The spin-only magnetic moment is calculated using the formula $\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} \text{ BM}$,where $n$ is the number of unpaired electrons.
$1.$ $Sc$ $(Z=21)$: $[Ar] 3d^1 4s^2$. In the $+3$ state,$Sc^{3+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^0$. Here,$n=0$,so $\mu = 0 \text{ BM}$.
$2.$ $Ti$ $(Z=22)$: $[Ar] 3d^2 4s^2$. In the $+3$ state,$Ti^{3+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^1$. Here,$n=1$,so $\mu = \sqrt{3} \text{ BM}$.
$3.$ $V$ $(Z=23)$: $[Ar] 3d^3 4s^2$. In the $+3$ state,$V^{3+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^2$. Here,$n=2$,so $\mu = \sqrt{8} \text{ BM}$.
$4.$ $Cr$ $(Z=24)$: $[Ar] 3d^5 4s^1$. In the $+3$ state,$Cr^{3+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^3$. Here,$n=3$,so $\mu = \sqrt{15} \text{ BM}$.
Therefore,$Sc$ does not exhibit a spin-only magnetic moment in the $+3$ state because it has no unpaired electrons.

Identify the $FALSE$ statement regarding adsorption from the following.
A
It takes place due to unbalanced forces acting on the surface of solid or liquid.
B
During adsorption,the surface energy of the adsorbent increases.
C
It is caused by van der Waals forces.
D
It is an exothermic process.

Solution

(B) Adsorption is a surface phenomenon that occurs due to unbalanced forces on the surface of a solid or liquid.
During the process of adsorption,the residual forces on the surface decrease,which leads to a decrease in the surface energy of the adsorbent.
Therefore,the statement that surface energy increases is $FALSE$.
Adsorption is generally an exothermic process and can be caused by van der Waals forces (physisorption) or chemical bonds (chemisorption).
373

Which of the following gases is readily adsorbed by solid adsorbent?
A
$Cl_2$
B
$N_2$
C
$O_2$
D
$H_2$

Solution

(A) The extent of adsorption of a gas on a solid surface depends on the ease of liquefaction of the gas.
Gases with higher critical temperatures are more easily liquefied and thus show greater adsorption.
Among the given options,$Cl_2$ has the highest critical temperature $(417 \ K)$,making it the most readily adsorbed gas compared to $N_2$,$O_2$,and $H_2$.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a lyophilic colloid?
A
Particles of the dispersed phase have no affinity for the dispersion medium.
B
Particles are easily detected under an ultramicroscope.
C
Addition of a large amount of electrolyte causes precipitation.
D
These are irreversible colloids.

Solution

(C) Lyophilic colloids are characterized by a strong affinity between the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium.
They are stable and are not easily precipitated by small amounts of electrolytes; a large amount of electrolyte is required to cause coagulation (salting out).
They are reversible in nature,meaning they can be reformed after evaporation of the dispersion medium.
They are not easily visible under an ultramicroscope due to the small size and high solvation of particles.

Which of the following ions has greater coagulating power for a negatively charged sol?
A
$Fe(CN)_6^{4-}$
B
$PO_4^{3-}$
C
$Ba^{2+}$
D
$Al^{3+}$

Solution

(D) According to the Hardy-Schulze rule,the coagulating power of an ion is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge on the ion of opposite sign to that of the colloidal particle.
For a negatively charged sol,the coagulating power depends on the positive charge of the added cation.
The given cations are $Ba^{2+}$ and $Al^{3+}$.
Since the charge on $Al^{3+}$ $(+3)$ is greater than the charge on $Ba^{2+}$ $(+2)$,$Al^{3+}$ has greater coagulating power.

Which of the following statements is $NOT$ correct?
A
${\Delta}G^{\circ}$ is an extensive property.
B
$E^{\circ}_{cell}$ is an intensive property.
C
Electrical work is equal to $nFE_{cell}$.
D
For a chemical reaction to be spontaneous,$E^{\circ}_{cell}$ must be negative.

Solution

(D) The relationship between Gibbs free energy and cell potential is given by ${\Delta}G = -nFE_{cell}$. For a spontaneous reaction,${\Delta}G$ must be negative,which implies that $E_{cell}$ must be positive. Therefore,the statement that $E^{\circ}_{cell}$ must be negative for a spontaneous reaction is incorrect.

Find the average rate of formation of $O_{2(g)}$ in the following reaction:
$2 NO_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2 NO_{(g)} + O_{2(g)}$
Given that $\left[-\frac{\Delta[NO_2]}{\Delta t}\right] = x \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ s^{-1}$
A
$\frac{x}{2} \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ s^{-1}$
B
$x \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ s^{-1}$
C
$2x \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ s^{-1}$
D
$4x \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ s^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The rate of reaction is expressed as:
$Rate = -\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta[NO_2]}{\Delta t} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta[NO]}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta[O_2]}{\Delta t}$
Given that the rate of disappearance of $NO_2$ is $-\frac{\Delta[NO_2]}{\Delta t} = x \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ s^{-1}$.
Substituting this into the rate expression:
$\frac{\Delta[O_2]}{\Delta t} = \frac{1}{2} \left( -\frac{\Delta[NO_2]}{\Delta t} \right)$
$\frac{\Delta[O_2]}{\Delta t} = \frac{1}{2} \times x = \frac{x}{2} \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ s^{-1}$
