Complete the given equations :
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)Cu + 8HN{O_3} \to 3Cu{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2}$$ $$ + \underline W + 4{H_2}O$$
$$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)4Zn + 10HN{O_3} \to 4Zn{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2}$$ $$ + 5{H_2}O + \underline X $$
$$\left( {{\text{iii}}} \right){I_2} + 10HN{O_3} \to \underline Y + 10N{O_2}$$ $$ + 4{H_2}O$$
$$2KBr + {I_2} \to 2Kl + B{r_2}$$
Reaction is not possible because $$B{r^ - }$$ ion is not oxidised in $$B{r_2}$$ with $${I_2}$$ due to higher electrode potential of $${I_2}$$ than bromine.
In halogens, fluorine can displace chlorine bromine and iodine, chlorine can displace bromine and iodine and bromide can displace iodine from their salts.

(ii) > (i) > (iii)
D
(i) > (iii) > (ii)
Answer :
(iii) > (ii) > (i)
36.
An alkali metal hydride $$\left( {NaH} \right)$$ reacts with
diborane in $$'A'$$ to give a tetrahedral compound $$'B'$$ which is extensively used as reducing agent in organic synthesis. The compounds $$'A'$$ and $$'B'$$ respectively are
A
$$C{H_3}COC{H_3}\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,{B_3}{N_3}{H_6}$$
B
$${\left( {{C_2}{H_5}} \right)_2}O\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,NaB{H_4}$$
\[2NaH+{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\xrightarrow{{{\left( {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}} \right)}_{2}}O\left( A \right)}\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}

Which of the following statements is incorrect?
A
$$S{O_3}$$ is a stronger oxidising agent and more acidic than $$S{O_2}.$$
B
Selenium forms only two oxoacids i.e.,selenous acid $$\left( {{H_2}Se{O_3}} \right)$$ and selenic acid $$\left( {{H_2}Se{O_4}} \right).$$
C
The acidic strength and oxidising power of oxoacids is greater in + 6 oxidation state than in + 4 oxidation state.
D
The thermal stability of oxides of group 16 elements decreases in the order : $$S{O_2} > Se{O_2} > Te{O_2} > Po{O_2}.$$
Answer :
The thermal stability of oxides of group 16 elements decreases in the order : $$S{O_2} > Se{O_2} > Te{O_2} > Po{O_2}.$$
Thermal stability of the oxides of group 16 elements decreases in the order : $$S{O_2} > Te{O_2} > Se{O_2} > Po{O_2}.$$ $$Te{O_2}$$ decomposes at temperature $$ > 733{\,^ \circ }C$$ while $$Se{O_2}$$ has $$ \sim 600{\,^ \circ }C$$ as the decomposition temperature. $$Po{O_2}$$ decomposes at $$500{\,^ \circ }C.$$
38.
Chlorine acts as a bleaching agent only in presence of
A
dryair
B
moisture
C
sunlight
D
pure oxygen
Answer :
moisture
Bleaching action of chlorine is only in presence of moisture where nascent oxygen is displaced from $${H_2}O.$$
$$C{l_2} + {H_2}O \to HCl + HClO\,({\text{unstable}})\,\,$$
$$HClO \to HCl + \left| {\text{O}} \right|$$
39.

C
$${S_2}O_7^{2 - },{S_2}O_8^{2 - }$$
D
$${S_4}O_6^{2 - },{S_2}O_7^{2 - }$$
Answer :
$${S_4}O_6^{2 - },{S_2}O_3^{2 - }$$
$${S_4}O_6^{2 - }$$ and $${S_2}O_3^{2 - }$$ have $$S—S$$ bond

A white precipitate is obtained on hydrolysis of
A
$$PC{l_5}$$
B
$$NC{l_3}$$
C
$$BiC{l_3}$$
D
$$AsC{l_3}$$
Answer :
$$BiC{l_3}$$
$$BiC{l_3} + {H_2}O \to BiOCl + 2HCl.BiOCl$$
gives white $$ppt.$$ which is used as white pigment, under the name of pearl white.
