An element with density 2.8 g cm−3 forms of the f.c.c. unit cell with edge length 4 X10−8 cm. Calculate the molar mass of the element.
(Given: NA = 6.022 X 1023 mol −1)
(i) What type of non-stoichiometric point defect is responsible for the pink colour of LiCl?
(ii) What type of stoichiometric defect is shown by NaCl?
OR
How will you distinguish between the following pairs of terms:
(i) Tetrahedral and octahedral voids
(ii) Crystal lattice and unit cell.
State Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions. Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease with dilution?
For a chemical reaction R → P, the variation in the concentration (R) vs. time (t) plot is given as,
(i) Predict the order of the reaction.
(ii) What is the slope of the curve?
(i) The variation in the concentration (R) vs. time (t) plot shown here represents a zero order reaction, for which the rate of the reaction is proportional to zero power of the concentration of the reactants.
(ii) For a zero-order reaction, rate constant is given as,
k = [R]o - [R]t
So, the slope of the curve for the variation in the concentration (R) vs. time (t) plot is equal to the negative of the rate constant for the reaction.
