Write the number of significant figure in the following numbers; 0.444, 2.456, 0.0065, 1.5 x 103. Concentrated aq. sulphuric acid is 98% H2SO4by mass and has a density of 1.84g/cm3. What volume of the conc. acid is required to make 5 litres of 0.5M H2SO4? Calculate the molarity of a solution of ethanol in water in which the mole fraction of ethanol is 0.040(assume the density of water to be zero). Calcium carbonate reacts with aqueous HCl to give CaCl2 and CO2 according to the reaction; CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) -----> CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) +H2O(l) What mass of CaCl2 is required to react completly with 25ml of 0.75M HCl. Calculate the empirical formula and molecular formula of a compound having 4.07% hydrogen, 24.27% carbon and 71.65% chlorine. Its molar mass is 98.96g. The wavelength range of a visible spectrum ends from 400nm to 750nm. Calculate the frequency of the radiation in Hz. Yellow light emitted from a sodium lamp has a wave length of 580nm.Calculate the frequency and wave number of the yellow light. The threshold frequency for a metal is 7 x 1014 /sec. Calculate the K.E. of an electron emitted when a radiation of frequency 1 x 1015/sec hits the metal. A golf ball has a mass of 40g and a speed of 45m/sec. If the speed can be measured within accuracy of 2%, calculate the uncertainty in position. For each of the following pairs, predict which one has lower first ionisation enthalpy? a) Cl or F b) K or K+ c) Na or Ne d) Be or B. Give reason; a. The ionic size of Cl- is greater than K+ ion, though both are isoelectronic. b. The first ionisation potential of N is maximum as compared to oxygen and carbon. c. Electron gain enthalpy of chlorine is more negative as compared to fluorine. What is the group number, period and block of the element with atomic number 43? Both carbon and oxygen bonds in methanoate ion, have same length, what does it tells about bonding? Arrange the following in order of increasing; a) dipolemoment - H2O, H2S, BF3. b) Covalent character - LiCl, LiBr, LiI. c) Bond angles - BeF2, BF3, NH3, H2O. Are NH3, H2O, BF3, BrF3, CHCl3, CCl4 polar or nonpolar? Which one is heavier, ice or water and why? Write the electronic configuration of the following species; Cr, Fe, Fe2+ , Fe3+, Cu. Which one has higher dipole moment, NF3 or NH3? Indicate the hybridization and shape of the central atom in the given species; PCl5, NH3, H2O, NH4+, BCl3. Give reason : i) H2O molecule is a liquid and H2S is a gas at room temp.? ii) BF3 and NF3 both are covalent compounds but BF3 is nonpolar where as NF3 is polar? -------------------------x------------------------
