2nd PUC Chemistry Solutions NCERT Textbook Questions and Answers
Question 1
Define the term solution. How many types of solutions are formed? Write briefly about each type with an example.
Answer:
A solution may contain two or more substances also called components or constituents. A solution which has two components is known as a binary solution (e.g. a solution of NaCl in water) while a solution with three components is called a ternary solution (e.g. a solution of NaCl and KCl in water). Similarly even more than three components may also be present.
Since the solvent and solute may be either gaseous, liquid, and solid, the number of possible types of binary solutions that can be prepared are given below.
Question 2.
Suppose a solid solution is formed are very small. What kind of solid solution is this likely to be?
Answer:
The solution of hydrogen in palladium and dissolved gases in minerals.
Question 3.
Define the following terms:
(i) Mole fraction
(ii) Molality
(iii) Molarity
(iv) Mass percentage.
Answer:
(i) Mole fraction (X): The mole fraction of any component in a solution is the ratio of the number of moles of that component to the sum of the number of moles of all the components present in the solution.
For a binary solution containing A and B, Mole fraction of A,
where nA and nB are the numbers of moles of components A and B respectively.
(ii) Molality (m): Molality is the number of moles of the solute dissolved in 1000 gms (1 kg) of the solvent. It B denoted by ‘m’ mathematically.
(iii) Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of the solute dissolved per litre (or dm3) of solution. It is denoted by ‘M’ mathematically.
(iv) Mass fraction multiplied by 100 gives the mass percentage. E.g.: mass percentage of A
Question 4.
Concentrated nitric acid used in laboratory work is 68% nitric acid by mass in an aqueous solution. What should be the molarity of such a sample of the acid if the density of the solution is 1.504 g mLr-1?
Answer:
68% of nitric acid by mass means that
Mass of nitric acid = 68g
Mass of solution = 100g
Molar mass of HN03 = 63g mol-1?
∴ 68 g HNO3 = \(\frac{68}{63}\) mole = 1.079 mole
Density of solution = 1.504g mL-1
Question 5.
A solution of glucose in water is labelled as 10% w/w, what would be the molality and mole fraction of each component in the solution? If the density of the solution is 1.2 g mL-1, then what shall be the molarity of the solution?
Answer:
10 g glucose is present in 100 g solution, i.e., 90 g of water = 0.090 kg of H2O
Question 6.
How many mL of 0.1 M HCl are required to react completely with a 1 g mixture Of Na2CO3 and NaHC03 containing equimolar amounts of both?
Answer:
Step 1: To calculate the number of moles of the components in a mixture
suppose Na2CO3 present in the mixture = X g
NaHCO3 present in the mixture = (1 – x) g
Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 2 x 23+12+3 x 16=106g mol-1
Molar mass of NaHCO3.
= 23 + 1 + 12 + 3 × 16 = 84g mol-1
∴ Moles of Na2CO3 in xg = \(\frac{ x }{ 106}\)
Moles of NaHCO3 in (1-x) g = \(\frac{1-x}{84}\)
Step 2: To calculate the moles of HC1 required.
Na2CO3 + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + H2O + CO2
NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2
1 mole of Na2CO3 required HCl = 2 moles
0.00526 mole of Na2CO3 requires HCl
= 0.00526 × 2 moles = 0.01052
1 mole of NaHCO3 required HCl = 1 mole
0.00526 mole of NaHCO3 required HCl
= 0.00526 mole
∴Total HCl required = 0.01052 + 0.00526
=0.01578 moles
Step3: To calculate volume of 0.1M HCl
0.1 mole of 0.1 M HCl are present in 1000 mL of HCl
0.01578 mole of 0.1 M HCl will be present in HCl = \(\frac{1000}{0.1}\) x 0.01578
= 157.8 ml.
Question 7.
A solution is obtained by mixing 300 g of 25% solution and 400 g of 40% solution by mass. Calculate the mass percentage of the resulting solution.
Answer:
300 g of 25% solutions contains solute = 75g
400 g of 40% solution contains solute = 160 g.
Total solute = 160 + 75 = 235 g
Total solution=300 + 400 = 700 g
% of solute in final solution = \(\frac{235}{700}\) × 100 = 33.5%
% of water in the final solution = 100 – 33.5 = 66.5%
Question 8.
An antifreeze solution is prepared from 222.6 g of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and 200 g of water. Calculate the molality of the solution. If the density of the solution is 1.072 g mL-1, then what shall be the molarity of the solution?
Answer:
Mass of the solute, C2H4(OH)2 = 222.6g
Molar mass of C2H4 (OH)2 = 62 g mol-1
Mass of the solvent = 200 g = 0.200 kg
Total mass of the solution = 422.6g
Volume of the solutions =
Question 9.
A sample of drinking water was found to be severely contaminated with chloroform (CHCl3) supposed to be a carcinogen. The level of contamination was 15 ppm (by mass):
(i) express this in percent by mass
(ii) determine the molality of chloroform in the water sample.
Answer:
15 ppm means 15 parts in million (106) parts by mass in solution
∴ % by mass = \(\frac{15}{10^{6}} \times\) × 100=15 × 10-4
Taking 15 g chloroform in 106g
Molar mass of CHCl3 = 12 + 1 + 3 × 35.5 = 119.5 g mol-1
Molality = \(\frac{15 / 119.5}{10^{6}}\) × 1000= 1.25 × 10-4 m
Question 10.
What role does the molecular interaction play in a solution of alcohol and water?
Answer:
Alcohol and water both have a strong tendency to form intermolecular hydrogen bonding. On mixing the two, a solution is formed as a result of the formation of H-bonds between alcohol and H2 O molecules but these interactions are weaker and less extensive than those in pure H2O. Thus they show a positive deviation from ideal behaviour. As a result of this, the solution of alcohol and water will have higher vapour pressure and lower boiling point than that of water and alcohol.
Question 11.
Why do gases always tend to be less soluble in liquids as the temperature is raised?
Answer:
Dissolution of gas in liquid in an exothermic process (Gas + solvent ⇌ solution + Heat). As the temperature is increased, the equilibrium shifts backward.
Question 12.
State Henry’s law and mention some important applications?
Answer:
The effect of pressure on the solubility of a gas in a liquid is governed by Henry’s Law. It states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid at a given temperature is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas Mathematically, P = KHX where P is the partial pressure of the gas; and X is the mole fraction of the gas in the solution and KH is Henry’s Law constant.
Applications of Henry’s law:
- In the production of carbonated beverages (as the solubility of CO2 increases at high pressure).
- In deep-sea diving.
- For climbers or people living at high altitudes, where low blood 02 causes climbers to become weak and make them unable to think clearly
Question 13.
The partial pressure of ethane over a solution containing 6.56 x 10-3 g of ethane is 1 bar. If the solution contains 5.00 x 10-2 g of ethane, then what shall be the partial pressure of the gas?
Answer:
Applying the relationship m = KH x p
In the first case, 6.56 x 102 g bar-1
In the second case, 5.00 x 10-2 g = (6.56 × 10-2 gbar-1) × p
Question 14.
What is meant by positive and negative deviations from Raoult’s law and how is the sign of ΔmixH related to positive and negative deviations from Raoult’s law?
Answer:
In +ve deviation, A-B interactions are weaker than those between A-A or B-B. In such molecules, A or B will find it easier to escape than in pure state. This increases vapour pressure. In case of -ve deviation, A-B interaction = A-A or B-B. This leads to decrease in vapour pressure.
- In +ve deviation, ΔmixH is + ve
- In -ve deviation, ΔmixH is – ve
Question 15.
An aqueous solution of 2% non-volatile solute exerts a pressure of 1.004 bar at the normal boiling point of the solvent. What is the molar mass of the solute?
Answer:
Vapour pressure of pure water at boiling
point (P°) = 1 atm = 1.013 bar
vapour pressure of solution (ps) = 1.004 bar
Mass of solute = (w2) = 2g
Mass of solution = 100 g
Mass of solvent = 98g
Applying Roault’s law for dilute solution (being 2%)
Question 16.
Heptane and octane form an ideal solution. At 373 K, the vapour pressures of the two liquid components are 105.2 kPa and 46.8 kPa respectively. What will be the vapour pressure of a mixture of 26.0 g of heptane and 35 g of octane?
Answer:
Molar mass of heptane (C7 H16) = 100 g mol-1
Molar mass of octane (C8H18) = 114 g mol-1
x (octane) = 1 – 0.456 = 0.544
p (heptane) = 0.456 x 105.2 kPa = 47.97 kPa
p (octane) = 0.544 x 46.8 kPa = 25.46 kPa
p total = 47.97 + 25.46 = 73.43 kPa
Question 17.
The vapour pressure of water is 12.3 kPa at 300 K. Calculate vapour pressure of 1 molal solution of a non-volatile solute in it.
Answer:
1 molal solution means 1 mol of the solute in 1 kg of solvent (water)
or ps = 12.08 kPa
Question 18.

Answer:
Ps = 80% of p° = 0.80 p° solute = \(\frac{w}{40} r\) mol solvent (octane) =
Question 19.
A solution containing 30 g of non-volatile solute exactly in 90 g of water has a vapour pressure of 2.8 kPa at 298 K. Further, 18 g of water is then added to the solution and the new vapour pressure becomes 2.9 kPa at 298 K. Calculate:
(i) the molar mass of the solute
(ii) vapour pressure of water at 298 K.
Answer:
Suppose the molar mass of the solute = Mg mol-1
n2 (solute) = \(\frac{30}{M}\) moles
After adding 18 g of water,
n(H2O)i.e, n1 = 6 moles
Dividing equation (i) by equation (ii), we get
(ii) putting M = 23 in equation (i), we get
Question 20.
A 5% solution (by mass) of cane sugar in water has a freezing point of 271 A. Calculate the freezing point of 5% glucose in water if the freezing point of pure water is 273.15 K.
Answer:
The molality of sugar solution =
∆Tf for sugar solution = 273.15 – 271 = 2.150
∆Tf = Kf × m ∴ Kf = 2.15/0.146
The molality of glucose solution =
Freezing point of glucose solution = 273.15 – 4.09 = 269.06 k
Question 21.
Two elements A and B form compounds having formulas AB2 and AB4. When dissolved in 20 g of benzene (C6H6), 1 g of AB2 lowers the freezing point by 2.3 K whereas 1.0 g of AB4 lowers it by 1.3 K. Tin molar depression – constant for benzene is 5.1 K kg mol-1. Calculate atomic masses of A and B.
Answer:
Suppose atomic masses of A and B are ‘a’ and ‘b’ respectively. Then
Molar mass of AB2 = a + 2b = 110.87 g mol-1
Molar mass of AB4 = a + 4b =196.15 g mol-1
Equation (ii) – Equation (i) gives
2b = 85.28 orb = 42.64
substituting in equation (i) we get
a + 2 × 42.64 = 110.87 or a = 25.59
Thus atomic mass A = 25.59 u
Atomic mass of B = 4.64 u.
Question 22.
At 300 K, 36 g of glucose present in a litre of its solution has an osmotic pressure of 4.98 bar. If the osmotic pressure of the solution is 1.52 bars at the same temperature, what would be its concentration?
Answer:
π = CRT
∴ In the first case,
4.98 = \(\frac{36}{180}\) × R × 300 = 60R
In the second case, 1.52 = C × R × 300
Dividing (ii) by (i), we get C = 0.061 M.

Nalorphene (C19H21NO3), similar to morphine, is used to combat withdrawal symptoms in narcotic users. The dose of nalorphine generally given is 1.5 mg. Calculate the mass of 1.5 x 10-3 m aqueous solution required for the above dose.
Answer:
1.5 × 10-3 m solution means that 1.5 × 10-3 mole of nalorphine is dissolved in I kg of water.
Molar mass of C19H21NO3 = 19 × 12 + 21 + 14 + 48 = 3119 mol-1
∴ 1.5 × 10-3 mole of C19H21NO3;
= 1.5 × 10-3 × 3119 = 0.467 g = 467 mg
∴ Mass of solution = 1000 g + 0.467 g = 1000.467g
Thus, for 467 mg of nalorphene, solution required =1000.467 g for 1.5 mg of nalorphene, solution required =\(\frac{1000.467}{467} \times 1.5 = 3.219\)
Question 30.
Calculate the amount of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) required for preparing 250 mL of 0.15 M solution in methanol.
Answer:
0.15 M solution means that 0.15 mole of benzoic acid is present in 1 L
i.e. 1000 mL of the solution.
Molar mass of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) = 72 + 5 + 12 + 32 + 1 =122 g mol-1
∴ 0.15 mole of benzoic acid = 0.15 × 122g= 18.39
Thus, 1000 mL of the solution contain benzoic acid = 18.39
∴ 250 ml of the solution will contain benzoic acid = \(\frac{18.3}{1000}\) × 250= 4.575g
Question 31.
The depression in the freezing point of water observed for the same amount of acetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and trifluoroacetic acid increases in the order given above. Explain briefly.
Answer:
The depression in freezing points are in the order:
acetic acid < trichloroacetic acid
Fluorine, being most electronegative, has the highest electron-withdrawing inductive effect. Consequently, trifluoroacetic acid is the Strongest acid while acetic acid is the weakest acid. Hence, trifluoroacetic acid ionizes to the largest extent while acetic acid ionizes to minimum extent to give ions in their solutions in water. Greater the ions produced, greater is the depression in freezing point. Hence the depression in freezing point is maximum for trifluoroacetic acid and minimum for acetic acid.
Question 32.

Question 10.
Two elements A and B form compounds having molecular formulas AB2 and AB4. When dissolved 20 g of C6H6, 1 g of AB2 lowers the freezing point by 2.3 K, whereas 1.0 g of AB„4 lower it by 1.3 K. The molar depression constant for benzene is 5.1 kg mol*1. Calculate the mass of A and B. (CBSE2004)
Answer:
Let the molar mass of AB2 and AB4 be M1and M2
Then, for AB2,
From (I) M1 = 110.82, from (ii) M1 = 196.15
AB4– AB2= B2
196.15 – 110.82 =B2
85.33 = B2
B = 42.665
Molar mass of AB2 = Atomic mass of A+ x 2 atomic mass of B
110.82 = Atomic mass of A+ 85.33
∴ Atomic mass of A = 110.82-85.33 = 25.49
Atomic mass of A = 25 .499
Atomic mass of B = 42.669
