The two cells may be represented as
Zn I Zn2+(cone = c) II Cu2+(c = ?) I Cu, EMF = E1
Zn I Zn2+(cone = c) II Cu2+(0·5 M) I Cu, EMF = E2
The cell reaction is : Zn + Cu2+ ⇾ Zn2++ Cu
\(E_1=E^0-{2.303\ RT\over 2F}log{c\over [Cu^{2+}]}\)
\(E_2=E^0-{2.303\ RT\over 2F}log{c\over 0.5}\)
\(E_2-E_1={2.303\ RT\over 2F}\left( log{c\over [Cu^{2+}]}-log{c\over 0.5}\right)=0.03V\)
\({0.06\over 2}log{0.5\over [Cu^{2+}]}=0.03\ or\ log{0.5\over [Cu^{2+}]}=1\ or\ {0.5\over {[Cu^{2+}]}}=10\ or\ [Cu^{2+}]={0.5\over 10}=0.05M\)
2.
Assume that we have 100 g of solution (one can start with any amount of solution because the results obtained will be the same). Solution will contain 20 g of ethylene glycol and 80 g of water.
Molar mass of C2H6O2 = 12 x 2 + 1 × 6 + 16 × 2 = 62 g mol-1
\(\text {Moles of } \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}_{2}=\frac{20 \mathrm{~g}}{62 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}=0.322 \mathrm{~mol}\)
\(\text {Moles of water }=\frac{80 \mathrm{~g}}{18 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}=4.444 \mathrm{~mol}\)
\(\mathrm{x}_{\text {glycol }}=\frac{\text { moles of } \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}_{2}}{\text { moles of } \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}_{2}+\text { moles of } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}\)
\(=\frac{0.322 \mathrm{~mol}}{0.322 \mathrm{~mol}+4.444 \mathrm{~mol}}=0.068\)
\(\text {Similarly, } x_{\text {water }}=\frac{4.444 \mathrm{~mol}}{0.322 \mathrm{~mol}+4.444 \mathrm{~mol}}=0.932\)
Mole fraction of water can also be calculated as: 1- 0.068 = 0.932

(i) For a solution of volatile liquids, at a given temperature the partial vapour pressure of each component in solution is equal to the product of vapour pressure of the pure component and its mole fraction.
(ii) Henry's law states that the mass of a gas dissolved per unit volume of the solvent at a constant temperature is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the solution.
4.
Osmotic pressure is defined as the excess pressure which must be applied to a solution to prevent the passage of solvent into it through the semi-permeable membrane.
Osmotic pressure \((\pi )\) at temperature (T) is
\(\pi =\frac { n }{ V } RT,\)
Determination of molecular mass from osmotic pressure
According to Van't Hoff equation,
\(\pi =\frac { n }{ V } RT,\)
where n is the number of moles of the solute and may be given as \(\frac { { \omega }_{ B } }{ { M }_{ B } } .\) Here \({ \omega }_{ B }\) is the weight of the solute and \({ M }_{ B }\) is its molecular mass. Substituting the value of n in the above expression, we get:
\(\pi =\frac { { \omega }_{ B }RT }{ { M }_{ B }V } or \ { M }_{ B }=\frac { { \omega }_{ B }RT }{ V\pi } \)
Thus, the molecular mass of the solute, \({ M }_{ B }\) can be calculated.

Below 1973 K, the ΔfGo curve for the formation of SiO2 lies above the.ΔfGo curve for the formation of MgO, therefore, at temperatures below 1973 K, Mg can reduce SiO2 to metallic silicon
\(SiO_2+2Mg\xrightarrow{<1973K}2MgO+Si;Δ_rG^0=-ve\)
Above 1973 K, the ∆ fG0 curve for the formation of SiO2 lies below the corresponding curve for the formation of MgO. Therefore, above 1973 K, silicon can reduce MgO to Mg
\(Si + 2MgO \xrightarrow{>1973K}SiO_2+2Mg\)

The molar conductivity of a solution at infinite dilution, i.e., when concentration approaches zero is called limiting molar conductivity. With decrease in concentration, i.e., with dilution, number of ions per cm3 decreases due to large increase in volume of the solution. As conductivity is the conductance per cm3 of the solution, hence it decreases.

NaCI, being an electrolytes, dissociates almost completely to give Na+ and CI- ions whereas glucose, being non - electrolyte, does not dissociate. Hence, the number of particles in 0.1 M NaCI solution is nearly double than in 0.1 M glucose solution. Freezing point depression, being a colligative property, is therefore, nearly twice for NaCI solution than for glucose solution of same molarity.

Water as ice
16.
We know that, m = KH \(\times\) P
\(\therefore\) 6.56 \(\times\) 10-2g = KH \(\times\) 1 bar ...(i)
\(\therefore\) 0 5.00 \(\times\) 10-2 g = KH \(\times\) P.........(ii)
KH = 6.56 \(\times\) 10-2/1 bar (from i)
KH = 5.00 \(\times\) 10-2//p bar (from ii)
\(\therefore \quad \frac{6.56 \times 10^{-2}}{1}=\frac{5.00 \times 10^{-2}}{p}\)
\(\therefore \quad P=\frac{5 \cdot 00}{6 \cdot 56}=0.762 \text { bar. }\)
17.
After time, t, total pressure, \(P_{t}=\left(P_{0}-p\right)+p+p\)
\(\Rightarrow P_{t}=P_{0}+p\)
\(\Rightarrow p=P_{t}-P_{0}\)
Therefore,\(P_{0}-p=P_{0}-\left(P_{t}-P_{0}\right)\)
= 2P0 − Pt
For a first order reaction,
\(=\frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{P_{0}}{P_{0}-p}\)
\(=\frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{P_{0}}{2 P_{0}-P_{t}}\)
When t = 360,\(k=\frac{2.303}{360 s} \log \frac{35.0}{2 \times 35.0-54.0}\)
= 2.175 × 10−3 s−1
When t = 720 s, \(k=\frac{2.303}{360 s} \log \frac{35.0}{2 \times 35.0-54.0}\)
= 2.175 × 10−3 s−1
When t = 720 s, \(\mathrm{K}=\frac{2.303}{720 \mathrm{~s}} \log \frac{35.0}{2 \times 35.0-63.0}\)
= 2.235 × 10−3 s−1
Hence, the average value of rate constant is
\(k=\frac{\left(2.175 \times 10^{-3}\right)+\left(2.235 \times 10^{-3}\right)}{2} s^{-1}\)
= 2.21 × 10−3 s−1

Calculation of rate constant of reaction (i) at 310 K
\(k={0.693\over t_{1/2}}={0.693\over 30\ min}=2.31\times10^{-2}min^{-1}\)
Rate constant of reaction (ii) at 310 K = 2 x 2·31x 10-2 min-1 = 4·62 x 10-2 min-1
Energy 0f ac tiva tion 0f reac tion (ii) =\({53.60kJ\ mol^{-1}\over 2}=26.80kJ\ mol^{-1}\)
Aim. To calculate k for reaction (ii) at 300 K
\(log{4.62\times10^{-2}\over k_{300}}={26.80\over 2.303\times8.314\times10^{-3}}\times{10\over 300\times310}=0.0151\)
or \({4.62\times10^{-2}\over k_{300k}}=Antilog\ or\ 0151 = 1.035\ or \ k_{300k}={4.62\times10^{-2}\over 1.035}=4.46\times10^{-2}min^{-1}\)

The choice of reducing agent and temperature
is decided with the help of Ellingham
diagram and sign of ΔrGo. AI can reduce
MgO at 2000 K because at this temperature
range, the line for ΔfGo (Mg, MgO)
lies above the line ΔfGo (AI, AI2P3). This
indicates that at this temperature, AI2P3 is
more stable than MgO and ΔrGo for the
reaction given below would be negative
above 1665 K. ΔrGo is standard free energy
of reaction and ΔfGo is standard free
energy of formation of a compound.
2AI + 3MgO ➝ ΔrGo + 3Mg
Below 1665 K, Mg can reduce AI2P3 i to AI, because ΔfGo will be negative for the reaction given below.
Since ΔrGo is negative at a particular temperature, therefore, co is suitable reducing agent for Fe2O3.The temperature at which reduction will take place can be calculated with the help of Ellingham diagram.
21.
