Solution: Cationic hydrolysis takes place during crystallization of mohrs salt, which needs to
be avoided. Cationic hydrolysis, leada to acidic solution, so dilute acid is added to suppress
hydrolysis.
In order to avoid contamination, same anion acid is used.

Question 99: The plot of osmotic pressure (II) vs concentration (molL-1) for a solution gives
a straight line with slope 25.73L bar mol-1. The temperature at which the osmotic pressure
measurement is done is: (Use R = 0.083 L bar mol-1K-1)
Options:
(a) 310°C
(b) 25.73°C
(c) 12.05°C
(d) 37°C
Answer: (d)
Solution:
Π = CRT

∵ m = RT = 25.73 L bar mol–1

⇒ 0.083 × T = 25.73
T = 310 K
or 37oC

Question 100: Identify the correct answer.

Options:
(a) BF3 has non-zero dipole moment
(b) Dipole moment of NF3 is greater than that of NH3
(c) Three canonical forms can be drawn for CO32- ion.
(d) Three resonance structures can be drawn for ozone.
Answer: (c)
Solution:
1)

μnet = 0 due to symmetrical structure

So, it has zero dipole moment
2)
So, μNH3 > μNF3
3)
