CBSEENCH11008267

pH of a saturated solution of Ba(OH)2 is 12. The value of solubility product Ksp of Ba(OH)2 is

  • 3.3 x 10-7

  • 5.0 x 10-7

  • 4.0 x 10-6

  • 5.0 x 10-6

Solution

B.

5.0 x 10-7

Given, pH of Ba(OH)2 = 12
pOH = 14-pH
= 14-12 = 2
We know that,
pOH = -log [OH-]
2 =-log [OH-]
[OH-] = antilog (-2)
[OH-] = 1 x 10-2
Ba(OH)2dissolves in water as

Question
CBSEENCH11008269

Maximum number of electrons in a subshell with l =3 and n=4 is

  • 14

  • 16

  • 10

  • 12

Solution

A.

14

n represents the main energy level and l represents the subshell.
If n=4 and l = 3, the subshell is 4f.
If f subshell, there are 7 orbitals and each orbital can accommodate a maximum number of electrons, so,  maximum number of electrons in 4f subshell = 7 x 2 = 14

Question

In which of the following reactions, standard reaction entropy changes (ΔSo) is positive and standard Gibb's energy change (ΔGo) decreases sharply with increasing temperature?

  • C (graphite) +1/2 O2 (g) → CO (g)

  • CO (g) +1/2 (g) → CO2 (g)

  • Mg(s)  +1/2O2 (g) → MgO (s)

  • 1/2 C (graphite) +1/2 O2 (g) → 1/2 CO2 (g)

Solution

A.

C (graphite) +1/2 O2 (g) → CO (g)

Among the given reactions only in te case of 
C (graphite) +1/2 O2 (g) → CO (g)
entropy increases because randomness (disorder) increases. Thus, standard entropy change (ΔSo) is positive.
Moreover, it is a combustion reaction and all the combustion reactions are generally exothermic, ie. ΔHo=-ve
We know that
ΔGo = ΔHo-TΔSo
ΔGo = -ve-T(+ve)
Thus, as the temperature increases, the value of ΔGo decreases.

Question
CBSEENCH11008271

Equimolar solutions of the following substances were prepared separately, which one of these will record the highest pH value?

  • BaCl2

  • AlCl3

  • LiCl

  • BeCl2

Solution

A.

BaCl2

BaCl2 is a salt of strong acid HCl and strong base Ba(OH)2. So, its aqueous solution is neutral with pH 7. All other salts give acidic solution due to cationic hydrolysis, so their pH is less than 7. Thus, pH value is highest for the solution of BaCl2.

Question
CBSEENCH11008272

50 mL of each gas A and of gas B takes 150 and 200 s respectively for effusing through a pin hole under the similar conditions. If molecular mass of gas B is 36, the molecular mass of gas A will be

  • 96

  • 128

  • 20.2

  • 64

Solution

C.

20.2

Given,
VA =VB = 50 mL
TA = 150 s
TB = 200 s
MB = 36
MA = ?
From Graham's law of effusion
