Chemistry
1 answer:

6 0

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The activity coefficient of copper ions is 0.676

<u>For b:</u> The activity coefficient of potassium ions is 0.851

<u>For c:</u> The activity coefficient of potassium ions is 0.794

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the activity coefficient of an ion, we use the equation given by Debye and Huckel, which is:

-\log\gamma_i=\frac{0.51\times Z_i^2\times \sqrt{\mu}}{1+(3.3\times \alpha _i\times \sqrt{\mu})}       ........(1)

where,

\gamma_i = activity coefficient of ion

Z_i = charge of the ion

\mu = ionic strength of solution

\alpha _i = diameter of the ion in nm

To calculate the ionic strength, we use the equation:

\mu=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^n(C_iZ_i^2)        ......(2)

where,

C_i = concentration of i-th ions

Z_i = charge of i-th ions

  • <u>For a:</u>

We are given:

0.01 M NaCl solution:

Calculating the ionic strength by using equation 2:

C_{Na^+}=0.01M\\Z_{Na^+}=+1\\C_{Cl^-}=0.01M\\Z_{Cl^-}=-1

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

\mu=\frac{1}{2}[(0.01\times (+1)^2)+(0.01\times (-1)^2)]\\\\\mu=0.01M

Now, calculating the activity coefficient of Cu^{2+} ion in the solution by using equation 1:

Z_{Cu^{2+}}=2+\\\alpha_{Cu^{2+}}=0.6\text{  (known)}\\\mu=0.01M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

-\log\gamma_{Cu^{2+}}=\frac{0.51\times (+2)^2\times \sqrt{0.01}}{1+(3.3\times 0.6\times \sqrt{0.01})}\\\\-\log\gamma_{Cu^{2+}}=0.17\\\\\gamma_{Cu^{2+}}=10^{-0.17}\\\\\gamma_{Cu^{2+}}=0.676

Hence, the activity coefficient of copper ions is 0.676

  • <u>For b:</u>

We are given:

0.025 M HCl solution:

Calculating the ionic strength by using equation 2:

C_{H^+}=0.025M\\Z_{H^+}=+1\\C_{Cl^-}=0.025M\\Z_{Cl^-}=-1

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

\mu=\frac{1}{2}[(0.025\times (+1)^2)+(0.025\times (-1)^2)]\\\\\mu=0.025M

Now, calculating the activity coefficient of K^{+} ion in the solution by using equation 1:

Z_{K^{+}}=+1\\\alpha_{K^{+}}=0.3\text{  (known)}\\\mu=0.025M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

-\log\gamma_{K^{+}}=\frac{0.51\times (+1)^2\times \sqrt{0.025}}{1+(3.3\times 0.3\times \sqrt{0.025})}\\\\-\log\gamma_{K^{+}}=0.070\\\\\gamma_{K^{+}}=10^{-0.070}\\\\\gamma_{K^{+}}=0.851

Hence, the activity coefficient of potassium ions is 0.851

  • <u>For c:</u>

We are given:

0.02 M K_2SO_4 solution:

Calculating the ionic strength by using equation 2:

C_{K^+}=(2\times 0.02)=0.04M\\Z_{K^+}=+1\\C_{SO_4^{2-}}=0.02M\\Z_{SO_4^{2-}}=-2

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

\mu=\frac{1}{2}[(0.04\times (+1)^2)+(0.02\times (-2)^2)]\\\\\mu=0.06M

Now, calculating the activity coefficient of K^{+} ion in the solution by using equation 1:

Z_{K^{+}}=+1\\\alpha_{K^{+}}=0.3\text{  (known)}\\\mu=0.06M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

-\log\gamma_{K^{+}}=\frac{0.51\times (+1)^2\times \sqrt{0.06}}{1+(3.3\times 0.3\times \sqrt{0.06})}\\\\-\log\gamma_{K^{+}}=0.1\\\\\gamma_{K^{+}}=10^{-0.1}\\\\\gamma_{K^{+}}=0.794

Hence, the activity coefficient of potassium ions is 0.794

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Introduction to Basic Microscopy. Microscopes are specialized optical instruments designed to produce magnified visual or photographic (including digital) images of objects or specimens that are too small to be seen with the naked eye.

Microscope are the important tools which are used by scientist. For example, in material science, medicine, mineralogy and microbiology.

Light microscope is able to send light. Light is being focused in a tight breath whereby that light passes through a sample which later it is able to create an image. This image passes to different lenses which magnifies it until it reaches the camera.

There are different types of microscope for example, Compound light microscope, Simple light microscope, and monocular microscope.

In simple light microscope only one lens which which is being used to magnify an object and it is not able to reach to a higher magnification.

In compound light microscope it uses two lenses to produce image. For example eyepiece lens and objective lens.

Match each statement with a layer of the atmosphere. There will be two statements for each layer.
LuckyWell [14K]

<u>The troposphere: </u>

H. This layer can have thunderstorms or clear, sunny skies.

A. The biosphere interacts most with this layer. 

<u>The stratosphere:</u>

B. It is the second layer from Earth's surface. 

G. Winds are strong and steady in this layer. 

<u>The mesosphere:</u>

E. It is heated by the ozone layer beneath it. 

D. This layer is where most meteor showers occur. 

<u>The thermosphere :</u>

F. It contains the ionosphere and exosphere. 

C. It contains layers of single, unmixed gas. 

<u>Explanation:</u>

Depending on the Earth's  temperature the atmosphere can be separated into layers. The troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere are those layers. The lowest layer is named as Troposphere (0-10 km from the Earth outer surface), it comprises about 75% of the atmosphere's total air and nearly most the water vapor.

Stratosphere (10-30) includes much of the surface ozone. The change in height temperature arises as this ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The temperature in Mesosphere (30-50 Km) declines again with height, hitting a minimum of about -90 ° C at the "mesopause." Above this thermosphere (50-400 Km) is settled which is a area where temperatures rise with height once again. The penetration of intense  UV and X-ray radiation from the sun induces this temperature rise.
