Answer 9.
(a) ΔTf = 3.348°C
WB = 5.85g
WA = 100g
Kf = 1.86 K kg mol-1
Observed mol. mass of NaCl(MB)
Observed mol. mass of NaCl = 32.5 g mol-1
Normal mol. mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g mol-1
Van’t Hoff factor, i = = 1.8
Or
Kb = 0.52 K kg mol-1
WB = 100 g = 0.01 kg
ΔTb = 100.0832 – 100 = 0.0832°C = 0.0832 K
Molality of BaCl2
Molality after dissociation = 5.99 × 10-2(1 + 2α)
ΔTb = Kb × m
0.0832 = 0.52 × 5.99 × 10-2 (1 + 2α)
0.0832 = 0.0312 + 0.0624α
α = 0.833 = 83.3%

Question 15.
Name the sulphide ore of Copper. Describe how pure copper is extracted from this ore. [3]

The roasted ore mainly contains a number of Cu2S, FeS and FeO.
4. Smelting: The roasted ore is mixed with powdered coke and sand and is heated strongly in a blast furnace.
The mixture thus obtained contains Cu2S and some FeS. It is called the molten matte.
5. Bessemerisation: In Bessemer converter, a hot blast of air mixed with sand is blown through molten matte. The reactions taking place are:
On cooling molten copper, we get blister copper.

(ii) What is an electrochemical series? How is it useful in predicting whether a metal can liberate hydrogen from acid or not?
Answer 16.
(a)
(i) The given electrochemical cell is
(ii)
(1) Equivalent Conductivity: It is the conducting power of all the ions present in a solution containing one gram equivalent of the electrolyte.
(2) Corrosion of Metals: It is the process involving the conversion of the metal surface into undesirable compounds on exposure to atmospheric conditions i.e. moisture and air. It is also called weeping of metals.
(ii) It is a series or table in which the various electrodes are arranged in the increasing order of standard reduction potential values. With the help of the electrochemical series, we can predict whether a given metal can liberate hydrogen from acid or not. The metals which lie above hydrogen in the electrochemical series i.e. having negative standard reduction potential values can liberate hydrogen from dilute acids whereas metals which lie below hydrogen in the electrochemical series i.e., have positive standard reduction potential values cannot liberate hydrogen from dilute acids.

(2) KMnO4 + SO2 + H2O → _____ + ______ + ______ + ______
Answer 17.

(1) Nitrogen does not form pentahalides because it has no vacant d-orbitals in its valence shell.
(2) This is because it is lighter than air.
(3) This is because ICl is polar and has lower bond energy than I2 (non-polar)
(b) (i)
(1) This is due to the formation of mercurous oxide (Hg2O) which dissolves in mercury.
(2) This is because halogen molecules (X2) absorb light in the visible region and transmit complementary colour. This is because on moving from fluorine to iodine ionisation enthalpy decreases.
(3) This is because in H2S there are weak Van der Waals forces of attraction but in H2O there are strong intermolecular H-bonds.
