Question 4:

(i) For each of the substances given below, what is the role played in the extraction of Aluminum.

(a) Cryolite
(b) Graphite

Answer :

(a) Cryolite plays an important role in the refining of aluminium. The melting point of aluminium oxide is very high (more than 2000∘C) and so melting it would be a very expensive process. Hence we use cryolite to decrease the melting point of aluminium oxide from 2000 – 2500∘C to 900 – 1000∘C.

(b) Thus the role of graphite in electrometallurgy of aluminium is to prevent the liberation of oxygen so that the aluminium is not oxidized by oxygen.

(ii) Calculate:

(a) A gas cylinder is filled with hydrogen and it holds 5 gms of gas. The same cylinder holds 85 gms of gas X under same temperature and pressure. Calculate the vapour density of gas X.
(b) Give the empirical formula of CH3COOH.

Answer :

(a) V.D. of gas ‘X’ = (wt of 1 gas cylinder of gas ‘X’)/ wt. of 1 gas cylinder of H2

= 85/5

= 17

(b) Empirical formula shows the least number of whole number elements in a compound. CH3COOH can also be written as C2H4O2. Now dividing the molecular formula by 2 we get the empirical formula of acetic acid as CH2O.

(iii) The following questions are pertaining to the laboratory preparation of Hydrogen chloride gas.

(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for its preparation mentioning the condition required.
(b) Why is concentrated Nitric Acid not used in the preparation of Hydrogen Chloride gas?
(c) How is Hydrogen Chloride gas collected?

Answer :

(a)

(b) Conc. HNO3 is Volatile

(c) Upward displacement of air.

(iv) Explain the following:

(a) Concentrated Nitric acid appears yellow when it is left standing in a glass bottle.
(b) An inverted Funnel is used to dissolve Hydrogen Chloride gas in water.
(c) All apparatus made of glass is used in the laboratory preparation of Nitric acid.

Answer :

(a) The pure nitric acid is colourless conc nitric acid undergoes decomposition as it is very unstable to heat. On decomposition they form reddish brown nitrogen dioxide gas which when dissolved in the acid appears yellow in colour.

(b) An inverted funnel connected to the HCI gas supply is placed in a beaker in such a way that the rim of the funnel just touches the surface of water in the beaker. HCI gas coming through delivery tube fills the mouth of the funnel and then dissolves in water. By this way we get hydrochloric acid in the beaker.

(c) Because Nitric acid vapors attack rubber and corck

Question 5:

(b) Give the ionic equation when Ammonium Hydroxide is dissolved in water.

Answer :

(a) By fountain experiment, we demonstrate the high solubility of ammonia gas in water.

(b) NH4OH(aq) → NH3(g) + H2O(l)  (that ammonia hydroxide does not dissociate because it is a weak acid)

(a) Laboratory Preparation of Methane from Sodium Acetate.
(b) Preparation of Ethyne from 1, 2 dibromoethane.

Answer :

(a) Sodium acetate is heated with soda lime: Dry sodium acetate on heating with dry soda lime (NaOH + CaO), gives methane.

CH3COONa+NaOHCaO CH4+Na2CO3.

(b) When 1,2 -dibromoethane is boiled with alcoholic potassium hydroxide, ethyne is formed.

CH2BrCH2Br+KOHBoiling−−−CHCH+2KBr+2H2O

(c) CH2=CH2+Cl2→CH2Cl−CH2Cl.

Question 6:

(i) Define: 

(a) Gay Lussac’s law of combining volume.
(b) Vapour Density

Answer :

(a) It states that the chemical reaction in which the gaseous reactants combine together to form one or more gaseous products, the ratio of the volumes of reactants and products will be in the whole number ratio. Example: H2+Cl2⟶2HCl.

(b) Vapour density is the density of a vapour in relation to that of hydrogen. It may be defined as mass of a certain volume of a substance divided by mass of same volume of hydrogen. vapour density = mass of n molecules of gas / mass of n molecules of hydrogen.

(ii) Solve: 

1250cc of oxygen was burnt with 300cc of ethane (C2H6). Calculate the volume of the unused oxygen.and the volume of the carbon dioxide formed.

2C2H6 + 702  –> 4CO2 + 6H20

Answer :

2C2H6 + 702  –> 4CO2 + 6H20

From the equation , 2V of ethane reacts with 7V oxygen.

So, 300 cc of ethane reacts with (300×7)/2 = 1050 cc

Hence, unused O2 = 1250 – 1050 = 200 cc

From 2V of ethane, 4V of CO2 is produced.

So, 300 cc of ethane will produce (300×4)/2 = 600 cc of CO2

(iii) State the conditions required for the following reactions: 

(a) Conversion of Sulphur dioxide to Sulphur trioxide.
