What would be the concentration of ${H_2}S{O_4}$ necessary to precipitate $BaS{O_4}$ from a solution of $0.01\,M\,B{a^{2 + }}$ions ($K_sp=$ $1.0 \times {10^{ - 9}}$ )
In the given reactions identify $A$ and $B$.
In which of the following transformations, the bond order has increased and the magnetic behaviour has changed
Ethyl alcohol on heating with conc. ${H_2}S{O_4}$ gives
When $100 \ mL$ of $1.0 \ M \ HCl$ was mixed with $100 \ mL$ of $1.0 \ M \ NaOH$ in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a temperature increase of $5.7^{\circ} C$ was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt. $1$). Because the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is a constant $\left(-57.0 \ kJ \ mol ^{-1}\right)$, this experiment could be used to measure the calorimeter constant. In a second experiment (Expt. $2$), $100 \ mL$ of $2.0 \ M$ acetic acid $\left(K_a=2.0 \times 10^{-5}\right)$ was mixed with $100 \ mL$ of $1.0 M \ NaOH$ (under identical conditions to Expt. $1$) where a temperature rise of $5.6^{\circ} C$ was measured.
