About $$20$$ $$km$$ above the earth, there is an ozone layer. Which one of the following statements about ozone and ozone layer is true?
A
Ozone is a triatomic linear molecule
B
It is harmful as it stops useful radiation
C
It is beneficial to us as it stops $$UV$$ - radiation
D
Conversion of $${O_3}$$ to $${O_2}$$ is an endothermic reaction
Answer :
It is beneficial to us as it stops $$UV$$ - radiation
Ozone is an allotropic form of oxygen. It is present in the upper atmosphere ( about $$20\,km$$ above the surface of the earth ). It is believed to be formed in the upper atmosphere by the action of $$UV$$ - rays on oxygen as $$3{O_2} + UV{\text{ - rays}} \to 2{O_3},$$ $$\Delta H = 142.7\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$
Therefore, $$UV$$ - rays, which are harmful to human
beings are absorbed by oxygen to form ozone. The layer of ozone, thus formed also prevents the remaining $$UV$$ - rays to reach the earth’s surface.

On adding ammonium hydroxide solution to $${A_2}{\left( {S{O_4}} \right)_3}\left( {aq} \right):$$
A
A precipitate is formed which does not dissolve in excess of ammonium hydroxide
B
A precipitate is formed which dissolves in excess of ammonia solution
C
No precipitate is formed
D
None of these
Answer :

$$PC{l_3}$$ reacts with water to form
A
$$P{H_3}$$
B
$${H_3}P{O_3},HCl$$
C
$$POC{l_3}$$
D
$${H_3}P{O_4}$$
Answer :
$${H_3}P{O_3},HCl$$
$$PC{l_3}$$ is easily hydrolysed by water to give $$POC{l_3}$$ and finally it gives $${H_3}P{O_3}$$ and $$HCl.$$
$$PC{l_3} + {H_2}O \to POC{l_3} + 2HCl$$
$$POC{l_3} + 3{H_2}O \to {H_3}P{O_3} + 3HCl$$
15.
Which one is a property of ozone?
A
It acts as an oxidising agent in dry state.
B
It oxidises $$PbS$$ to $$PbS{O_4}.$$
C
It oxidises $$Hg$$ to $$H{g_2}O.$$
D
All of these.
Answer :
All of these.

16.
Which of the following does not show similarity between boron and aluminium?
A
Both form oxides of type $${M_2}{O_3}$$ when heated with oxygen at high temperature.
B
Both dissolve in alkalies and evolve hydrogen.
C
Hydroxides of both the elements are basic in nature.
D
Both form nitrides of $$MN$$ type when heated with $${N_2}.$$
Answer :
Hydroxides of both the elements are basic in nature.
$$B{\left( {OH} \right)_3}$$ is a weak acid while $$Al{\left( {OH} \right)_3}$$ is amphoteric in nature.
