pH of 0.08 mol $\mathbf{d}{{\mathbf{m}}^{\mathbf{3}}}$HOCl solution is 2.85. Calculate its ionisation constant.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Ionisation constant can be calculated as given below-

pH of HOCl=2.85

But \[pH = log[H^{+}]\]

\[ \therefore -2.85 = log [H^{+}]\]

\[\Rightarrow 3^{-} .15 = log [H^+] \]

\[\Rightarrow [H^+] antilog 3^{-} .15 \]

\[\Rightarrow [H^+] = 1.413 \times 10^{-5} \]

For weak mono basic acid \[[H^+] = K_{a} \times C \]

\[ K_{a} = C[H^+]^2 = 0.08(.413 \times 10^{-3})^{2} \]

\[ = 24.957 \times 10^{-6}  = 2.4957 \times 10^{-5}\]


Q33Written answer

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

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: we can find the pH of the solution as-

pH of solution A=6

Hence, concentration of [[{{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}]] ion in solution A=$\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-6}}}$$\text{mol }{{\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}}$

pH of solution B=4

Therefore, concentration of [{{\text[{H}]}^{\text{+}}}] ion in solution B=$\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-4}}}$$\text{mol }{{\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}}$

On mixing one litre of each solution, total volume = 1L+1L=2L.

Amount of ${{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}$ ions in 1L of solution

 A= concentration× Volume(V)= $\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-6}}}$mol× IL 

Amount of ${{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}$ ions in 1L of solution B=$\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-4}}}$mol×1L

∴ Total amount of ${{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}$ ions in the solution formed by mixing solutions A and B is ($\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-5}}}$mol+$\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-4}}}$mol)

This amount is present in 2L solution,

∴ Total \[{{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}\]=2$\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-4}}}$ (1+0.01)​=21.01×$\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-4}}}$​$\text{mol }{{\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}}$

=21.01×$\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-4}}}$​$\text{mol }{{\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}}$ =0.5×10−4mol L−1 =5×$\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-5}}}$$\text{mol }{{\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}}$.

pH=−log[{{\text[{H}]}^{\text{+}}}]=−log(5×$\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-5}}}$)=−[log5+(−5log10)]

=−log5+5=5−log5=5−0.6990=4.3010=4.3

Thus, the pH of the solution will be 4.3.

(i) Solubility of $\text{Al}{{\left( \text{OH} \right)}_{\text{3}}}\text{ }$​: Molar mass of $\text{Al}{{\left( \text{OH} \right)}_{\text{3}}}\text{ }$ is 78g. Hence, solubility of $\text{Al}{{\left( \text{OH} \right)}_{\text{3}}}\text{ }$​in $\text{g}{{\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}}\text{=1 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{3}}}\text{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 78g}{{\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}}\text{=78 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-3}}}\text{g}{{\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}}\text{=7}\text{.8 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{g}{{\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}}$
(ii) pH of the solution: S=1× ${{10}^{-3}}$mol ${{\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}}$

[OH]=3S=3×1× ${{10}^{-3}}$=3× ${{10}^{-3}}$

p[OH]=3−log3

pH=14−pOH=11+log3=11.4771.

Ans: As, enthalpy of formation is given by-

${{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{r}}}{{\text{H}}^{\odot }}\text{=}{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{f}}}{{\text{H}}^{\odot }}\left[ \text{CaO}\left( \text{s} \right) \right]\text{+}{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{f}}}{{\text{H}}^{\odot }}\left[ \text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\left( \text{g} \right) \right]\text{-}{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{f}}}{{\text{H}}^{\odot }}\left[ \text{CaC}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\left( \text{s} \right) \right]$

${{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{r}}}{{\text{H}}^{\odot }}\text{=178}\text{.3kJ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$.

The reaction is endothermic. Therefore, according to Le Chatelier’s principle, reaction will proceed in forward direction on increasing temperature.
