52.
The acid which has a peroxy linkage is
A
Sulphurous acid
B
Pyrosulphuric acid
C
Dithionic acid
D
Caro’s acid
Answer :
Caro’s acid
Caro’s acid is $${H_2}S{O_5}$$ which contains one $$S - O - O - H$$ peroxy linkage. It is also known as permonosulphuric acids.
53.
Which one of the following is a correct set for $$Si{O_2}?$$
A
Linear acidic
B
Linear,basic
C
Tetrahedral, acidic
D
Angular, basic.
Answer :
Tetrahedral, acidic
$$Si{O_2}$$ being oxide of non metal is acidic in nature and silicon is bonded to $$O$$ atoms tetrahedrally. It has giant structure.
54.
Reduction potentials of some ions are given below. Arrange them in decreasing order of oxidising power.
Ion
$$ClO_4^ - $$
$$IO_4^ - $$
$$BrO_4^ - $$
Reduction potential $${E^ \circ }/V$$
$${E^ \circ } = 1.19\,V$$
$${E^ \circ } = 1.65\,V$$
$${E^ \circ } = 1.74\,V$$
A
$$ClO_4^ - > IO_4^ - > BrO_4^ - $$
B
$$IO_4^ - > BrO_4^ - > ClO_4^ - $$
C
$$BrO_4^ - > IO_4^ - > ClO_4^ - $$
D
$$BrO_4^ - > ClO_4^ - > IO_4^ - $$
Answer :
$$BrO_4^ - > IO_4^ - > ClO_4^ - $$
Higher the reduction potential value, greater is the tendency to undergo reduction and stronger is the oxidising power.
$$\mathop {}\limits_{\frac{{{E^ \circ }}}{V}} \,\,\,\mathop {BrO_4^ - }\limits_{1.74} > \mathop {IO_4^ - }\limits_{1.65} > \mathop {ClO_4^ - }\limits_{1.19} $$
55.
Nitrogen forms $${N_2},$$ but phosphorus when form $${P_2}$$ readily converted into $${P_4},$$ reason is
A
triple bond present between phosphorus atom
B
$$p\pi - p\pi $$ bonding is weak
C
$$p\pi - p\pi $$ bonding is strong
D
multiple bond form easily
Answer :
$$p\pi - p\pi $$ bonding is weak
Nitrogen form $${N_2}\left( {{\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{.}}\,N \equiv N} \right)$$ but phosphorus form $${P_2},$$ it is at a time convert in $${P_4},$$ because in $${P_2},p\pi - p\pi $$ bonding is present which is a weaker bonding due to larger size.
56.
Name the type of the structure of silicate in which one oxygen atom of $${\left[ {Si{O_4}} \right]^{4 - }}$$ is shared?
A
Sheet silicate
B
Pyrosilicate
C
Three dimensional silicate
D
Linear chain silicate
Answer :
Pyrosilicate
In pyrosilicate, only one oxygen atom is shared.
57.
Which of the following statements is true?
A
Silicon exhibits 4 coordination number in its compounds
B
Bond energy of $${F_2}\,$$ is less than $$C{l_2}$$
C
$$Mn\left( {{\text{III}}} \right)$$ oxidation state is more stable than $$Mn\left( {{\text{II}}} \right)$$ in aqueous state
D
Elements of 15th group shows only + 3 and + 5 oxidation states
Answer :
Bond energy of $${F_2}\,$$ is less than $$C{l_2}$$
Bond energy of $${F_2}$$ is less than $$C{l_2}$$ because in $${F_2}$$ molecule electron-electron repulsion of $$2p$$ -orbital of two fluorine atom is maximum in comparison to the repulsion of $$3p$$ -orbitals of two chlorine atom. So,
less amount of energy is required to break the bond of $${F_2}$$ in comparison to $$C{l_2}.$$
58.
In diborane,
A
four bridged hydrogen atoms and two terminal hydrogen atoms are present
B
two bridged hydrogen atoms and four terminal hydrogen atoms are present
C
three bridged hydrogen atoms and three terminal hydrogen atoms are present
D
there are no bridged hydrogen atoms in diborane, only hydrogen bonds are present.
Answer :
two bridged hydrogen atoms and four terminal hydrogen atoms are present
No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.
59.
Which is used in the laboratory for fast drying of neutral gases?
A
$${P_2}{O_5}$$
B
$${\text{Anhyd}}{\text{.}}\,CaC{l_2}$$
C
$${\text{Activated charcoal}}$$
D
$$N{a_3}P{O_4}$$
Answer :
$${P_2}{O_5}$$
$${P_2}{O_5}$$ absorb moisture, so it is used as a drying agent for neutral gases.
