An aqueous solution of sodium sulphate is acidic in nature.
The solubility product of silver chloride in water decreases on the addition of potassium chloride to the solution.
Which of the following solutions will have a lower vapour pressure and why ?
(1) A 5% solution of cane sugar (CI2H22O11)
(2) A 5% solution of urea (NH2CO NH2)
(Relative atomic masses: H = 1, C = 12, 0 = 16, N = 14).
(i) In a body centred and face centred arrangement of atoms of an element, what will be the number of atoms present in respective unit cells?
(ii) Explain why graphite is soft and can be used an a lubricant.
(i) No. of atoms present in body centred arrangement in an
unit cell = No. of particle at corners + No. of particles at centre
= 8 x 1/8 + 1 x 1
= 1 + 1
= 2
No. of atoms present in face centred arrangement
in an unit cell = No. of particulars at corners + No. of particulars at faces
= 8 x 1/8 + 6 x 1/2
= 1 + 3
= 4
(ii) Graphite has layered structure. It is made of hexagonal layers of carbon atoms which are held together by weak Van-der Wall’s forces. Therefore, they can slip over each other and graphite can be used as lubricant.
