C \(H _{2( g )}+ I _{2( g )} \leftrightarrow 2 HI ( g ) \quad\) D. \(PCl ( sg ) \leftrightarrow PCl _{3( g )}+ Cl _{2( g )}\) A solution of \(0.20\) mole of \(NaBr\) and \(0.20\) mole of \(MgBr _{2}\) in \(2.0 dm ^{3}\) of water is to be analysed. How many moles of \(Po \left( NO _{1}\right)_{2}\) must be added to precipitate all the bromide as insoluble \(PbBr _{2}\) ?
A. \(0.30 mol\) B. \(0.10 mol\) C. \(0.20 mol\) D. \(0.40 mol\)
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
\(Pb \left( NO _{3}\right)_{2}\) reacts with both \(Br\) \(\ln rxn T\). \begin{aligned} &\operatorname{In} rXn I . \\ & Pb \left( NO _{3}\right)_{2(a q)}+2 NaBr _{(\text {aq })} \rightarrow PbBr _{2(0)}+2 NaNO _{\text {(3a) }} \\ &\eta_{P b\left( NO _{3}\right)_{2}}: \eta_{ NaBr }=1: 2 \\ &\text { i.e. } \eta_{P b\left(N O_{3}\right)_{2}}=\frac{\eta_{ NaBr }}{2} \end{aligned} \begin{aligned} \eta_{ NaBr } &=0.20 mol \\ \therefore \eta_{P b\left(N O_{3}\right)_{2}} &=\frac{0.20 mol }{2} \\ &=0.10 mol \end{aligned} for reaction II \(Pb \left( NO _{3}\right)_{2(\text { (av) }}+ MgBr r_{2(a)} \rightarrow\) \(PbBr _{2(0)}+ Mg \left( NO _{3}\right)_{2(\omega)}\) \(\eta_{ Pt \left( NO _{5}\right)_{2}}: \eta_{ MgBR _{2}}=1: 1\) i.c. \(\eta_{P b\left( NO _{3}\right)_{2}}=\eta_{ MgBr }\) \(\eta_{ MgBr _{2}}=0.20 mol\) \(\eta_{P b\left( NO _{3}\right)_{2}}=0.20 mol\) Total no of mole of \(Pb \left( NO _{3}\right)_{2}\) that reacted, \(\eta_{P E\left( NO _{3}\right)_{2}}^{T}\) is given by \(\eta_{P b\left(N O_{3}\right)_{2}}^{T}=\eta_{P b\left( NO _{3}\right)_{2}}+\eta_{P b\left( NO _{3}\right)_{2}}\) \(=0.10 mol +0.20 mol\) \(=0.30 mol\)
