NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 2 Solutions 31

Question 10.
What role does the molecular interaction play in a solution of alcohol and water?
Answer:
Alcohols dissolve in water due to the formation of intermolecular H-bonding with water.

Question 11.
Why do gases nearly always tend to be less soluble in liquids as the temperature is raised?
Answer:
The dissolution of a gas in a liquid is exothermic in nature because the gas contracts in volume.

Gas + Liquid ⇌ Dissolved gas ; ∆H = – ve

An increase in temperature will favour the reverse process since it is of endothermic nature. Therefore, the solubility of the gas in the solution decreases with the rise in temperature.

Question 12.
State Henry’s law and mention some important applications.
Answer:
Henry’s law: According to this law, ‘The mass of a gas dissolved per unit volume of a solvent at a constant temperature, is proportional to the pressure of the gas with which the solvent is in equilibrium’.

Let in unit volume of solvent, the mass of the gas dissolved is m and equilibrium pressure is P, then m α P or m = KP, where K is a constant. We can understand Henry’s law by taking the example of soda water bottle. Soda water contains carbon dioxide dissolved in water under pressure.

Applications of Henry’s law:

1. In the production of carbonated beverages: To increase the solubility of CO2 in soft drinks, soda water, bear etc. the bottles are sealed at high pressure.

2. In exchange of gases in the blood: The partial pressure of O2 is high in inhaled air, in lungs it combines with hemoglobin to form oxyhemoglobin. In tissues, the partial pressure of oxygen is comparatively low therefore oxyhemoglobin releases oxygen in order to carry out cellular activities.

3. In deep-sea diving: Deep-sea divers depend upon compressed air for breathing at high pressure underwater. The compressed air contains N2 in addition to O2, which are not very soluble in blood at normal pressure. However, at great depths when the diver breathes in compressed air from the supply tank, more N2 dissolved in the blood and in other body fluids because the pressure at that depth is far greater than the surface atmospheric pressure. When the divers come towards the surface at atmospheric pressure, this dissolves nitrogen bubbles out of the blood. These bubbles restrict blood flow, affect the transmission of nerve impulses. This causes a disease called bends or decompression sickness. To avoid bends, as well as toxic effects of high concentration of nitrogen in the blood, the tanks used by scuba divers are filled with air diluted with helium (11.7% He, 56.2% N2, and 32.1% O2).

4. At high altitudes: At high altitudes, the partial pressure of O2 is less than that at the ground level. This results in a low concentration of oxygen in the blood and tissues of the people living at high altitudes or climbers. The low blood oxygen causes climbers to become weak and unable to think clearly known as anoxia.

5. Aquatic life: The dissolution of oxygen (from air) in water helps in the existence of aquatic life in various water bodies like Lake, rivers, and sea.

Question 13.
The partial pressure over a saturated solution containing 6·56 x 10-2 g of ethane is 1 bar. If the solution contains 5·0 x 10-2 g of ethane, what shall be the partial pressure of the gas?
Answer:
According to Henry’s law,
The mass of the gas (m) dissolved in solution ∝ Partial pressure (p) (At constant temperature)
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 2 Solutions 32

Question 14.
What is meant by positive and negative deviations from Raoult’s law and how is the sign of ∆Hsol related to positive and negative deviations from Raoult’s law?
Answer:
(a) Positive Deviation:
(i) ∆Vmixing is positive: This is quite likely also because in ge presence of weak forces of interaction, interaction, the volume of the solution is bound to increase.
(ii) ∆Hmixing is positive: Energy is needed to form the solution because the components of the solution have to be brought closer to form the solution. Thus, the process of mixing is of endothermic nature.
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 2 Solutions 33
(b) Negative Deviation:

(i) ∆Vmixing is negative: Because of the increased forces of interaction, the molecules of the two components will come closer and as a result, there is a decrease in the volume of the solution.
(ii) ∆Hmixing is negative: Energy is expected to be released because of the increase in the forces of interaction. Therefore, the process of mixing is exothermic in nature or ∆Hmixing is negative.

Question 23.
Suggest the most important type of intermolecular attractive interactions in the following pairs :

  1. n-hexane and n-octane
  2. I2 and CCl4
  3. NaClO4 and water (H2O)
  4. methanol and acetone
  5. acetonitrile (CH3CN) and acetone (C3H6O).

Answer:

  1. Both are non-polar. Hence, intermolecular interactions in them will be London/ dispersion forces (discussed in class XI)
  2. Both are non-polar. Hence, intermolecular interactions in them will be London/ dispersion forces (discussed in class XI)
  3. NaClO4 gives Na+ and ClO4 ions in the solution while water is a polar molecule. Hence, intermolecular interactions in them will be ion-dipole interactions.
  4. Both are polar molecules. Hence intermolecular interactions in them will be dipole-dipole interactions.
  5. Both are polar molecules. Hence intermolecular interactions in them will be dipole-dipole interactions.

Question 24.
Based on solute-solvent interactions, arrange the following in order of increasing solubility in n-octane and explain.
Cyclohexane, KCl, CH3OH, CH3CN.
Answer:
(i) Cyclohexane and n-octane both are non-polar. Hence they mix completely in all proportions.
(ii) KCl is an ionic compound while n-octane is nonpolar. Hence, KCl will not dissolve at all in n-octane.
(iii) CH3OH and CH3CN both are polar but CH3CN is less polar than CH3OH. As the solvent is non-polar, CH3CN will dissolve more than CH3OH is n-octane.
Thus the order of solubility will be KCl< CH3OH < CH3CN < Cyclohexane.

Question 25.
Among the following compounds, identify which are insoluble, partially soluble, and highly soluble in water?
(i) phenol
(ii) toluene
(iii) formic acid
(iv) ethylene glycol
(v) chloroform
(vi) pentanol.
Answer:
(i) phenol (C6H5OH): Is partially soluble in water due to weak dipole-dipole interactions in the molecules of phenol and water.
(ii) toluene (C7H8): Is insoluble in water because it is an aromatic hydrocarbon (non-polar) while water is polar in nature.
(iii) formic acid (HCOOH): Is highly soluble in water since it can form hydrogen bonding with water.
(iv) ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH): Is highly soluble in water since it can form hydrogen bonding with water.
(v) chloroform (CHCl3): Is insoluble in water because it is an organic heavy liquid and forms a separate layer.
(vi) pentanol (C5H11OH): In partially soluble in water because the bulky C5H11 group decreases its extent of hydrogen bonding with water.

Question 31.
The depression in freezing point of water observed for the same amount of acetic acid, trichloroactetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid increases in the order given above. Explain. (C.B.S.E. 2008 Supp.)
Answer:
The depression in freezing point of a solute in water depends upon the number of particles or ions furnished by it in solution or upon its degree of dissociation (α). All the three organic acids ionise in aqueous solution. However, the relative order of acidic strengths is as given below.
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 2 Solutions 53

This is linked with the electronegativity of the halogen atoms present. Fluorine (F) is more electronegative than (Cl). Under the circumstances, trifluoroacetic acid gives maximum ions in solution since it is the strongest acid. Consequently, the depression in freezing point (∆Tf) is the maximum in this case and is the least for acetic acid which is the weakest acid.

Plot this data also on the same graph paper. Indicate whether it has positive deviation or negative the ideal solution.
Answer:
From the available information:
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 2 Solutions 60
Since the plot or graph dips downwards, the solution shows a negative deviation from Raoult’s Law.
