Addition of salt KY (having a common ion Y-) decreases the solubility of MY and NY3 due to common ion effect.
Option (a) and (b) are wrong
For salt MY, MY ⇌ M+ + Y-
Ksp = (s) (s)
6.2 × 10-13 = s2
\(\therefore\) s = \(\sqrt{6.2 \times 10^{-13}} = 10^{-7}\)
For salt NY3,

Ksp = (s) (3s)3
Ksp = 27s4
\(s = (\frac{6.2 \times 10^{-13}}{27})^{1/4}\)

18.
[H3O+] = 4 \(\times\) 10-5M
pH = - log10[H3O+]
pH=-log10[4 \(\times\) 10-5]
pH = -log10[4] - log10[10-5] log10 10 = 1
pH = -log 4 + 5log1010
= 5 - log 4
= 5 - 0.6021
=4.3979
Since pH is less than 7, the solution is acidic.

According to Henderson – Hasselbalch equation,
\(pH=pK_{a}+\log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}\)
\(p{K_{a}}=-\log K_{a}=-\log(1.8\times10^{-5})=4.74\)
[Salt]=\(\frac{\text {Number of moles of sodium acetate}}{\text {Volume of the solution (litre)}}\)
Number of moles of sodium acetate =\(\frac{\text {mass of sodium acetate}}{\text {molar mass of sodium acetate}}\)
\(=\frac{8.2}{82}=0.1\)
\(\therefore [Salt]=\frac{0.1\ mole}{1/2 \ Litre}=0.2M\)
\([acid]=\frac{(\frac{mass \ of \ CH_{3}COOH}{molar \ mass \ of \ CH_{3}COOH})}{\text{Volume of solution in litre}}\)
=\(\frac{(\frac{6}{60})}{\frac{1}{2}}\)=0.2 M
\(\therefore pH=4.74+log\frac{(0.2)}{(0.2)}\)
pH = 4.74 + log1
pH = 4.74 + 0 = 4.74

(iii) Paramagnetic solids having unpaired electrons possess magnetic dipoles which are isolated from one another.
(iv) In the absence of external magnetic field, the dipoles are arranged at random and hence the solid shows no net magnetism.
(v) But in the presence of magnetic field, the dipoles are aligned parallel to the direction of the applied field and therefore, they are attracted by an external magnetic field.
(vi) Ferromagnetic materials have domain structure and in each domain the magnetic dipoles are arranged.
(vii) But the spin dipoles of the adjacent domains are randomly oriented.
(viii) Some transition elements or ions with unpaired d electrons show ferromagnetism.

Density of the element, d = 2.7 x 103 kg m-3
Molar mass, M = 2.7 x 10-2 kg mol-1
Edge length, a = 405 pm
= 405 x 10-12 m
= 4.05 x 10-10 m
Avogadro's number, NA= 6.022 x 1023 mol-1
\(\therefore d=\frac { Z\times M }{ { a }^{ 3 }\times { N }_{ A } } \)
\(\Rightarrow Z=\frac { d\times { a }^{ 3 }{ N }_{ A } }{ M } \)
\(=\frac { 2.7\times { 10 }^{ 3 }kg\quad { m }^{ -3 }{ (4.05\times { 10 }^{ -10 }m) }^{ 3 }\times 6.022\times { 10 }^{ 23 }{ mol }^{ -1 } }{ 2.7\times { 10 }^{ -2 }kg\quad { mol }^{ -1 } } \)
= 4.004 = 4.
This implies that four atoms of the element are present per unit cell. Hence the unit cell is face centred cubic.

(i) [NiCI4]2-
IUPAC name - Tetrachloridonickelate (II) ion
(ii) Ni2+ = 3d8,4s0
Cl- being a weak field ligand cannot pair up the unpaired electron. So, it is sp3 hybridised, and it has tetrahedral geometry.

\(\mathrm{k}=\frac{0.6932}{\mathrm{t}_{\frac{1}{2}}} \)
\(=\frac{0.6932}{60} \)
\(k =1.155 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)

For first order reaction
\(\mathrm{k}=\frac{2.303}{\mathrm{t}} \log \frac{\left[\mathrm{A}_{0}\right]}{[\mathrm{A}]} \)
\(1.155 \times 10^{-2} =\frac{2.303}{180} \log \left(\frac{100}{[A]}\right) \)
\(\frac{0.01155 \times 180}{2.303} =\log \left(\frac{100}{[A]}\right) \)
\(0.9027 =\log 100-\log [\mathrm{A}] \)
\(\log [\mathrm{A}] =\log 100-0.9027 \)
\(\log [A]=2-0.9027 \)
\(\log [A]=1.0972 \)
[A] = antilog of (1.0972)
[A] =12.51 %
