Answer :
(b)
Magnesium reacts with air to form oxide and nitride. On reaction with water the oxide gives hydroxide and nitride gives hydroxide and ammonia.
$$\eqalign{
& 2Mg + {O_2} \to \mathop {2MgO}\limits_{\left( X \right)} \cr
& 3Mg + {N_2} \to \mathop {M{g_3}{N_2}}\limits_{\left( Y \right)} \cr
& MgO + {H_2}O \to \mathop {Mg{{\left( {OH} \right)}_2}}\limits_{\left( P \right)} \cr} $$
$$M{g_3}{N_2} + {H_2}O \to \mathop {3Mg{{\left( {OH} \right)}_2}}\limits_{\left( P \right)} $$ $$ + \mathop {2N{H_3}}\limits_{\left( Q \right)} $$

Answer :
(a)
$$\mathop {2NaHC{O_3}}\limits_{\left( X \right)} \to \mathop {N{a_2}C{O_3}}\limits_{\left( Y \right)} + \mathop {C{O_2}}\limits_{\left( Z \right)} + {H_2}O$$
$$\mathop {NaHC{O_3}}\limits_{\left( X \right)} + HCl \to $$ $$NaCl + \mathop {C{O_2}}\limits_{\left( Z \right)} + {H_2}O$$
$$\mathop {2NaOH + C{O_2} \to N{a_2}C{O_3} + }\limits_{\left( {{\text{atmosphere}}} \right)} $$ $$\mathop {{H_2}O}\limits_{\left( Y \right)} $$

An oxide of alkaline earth metals $$X$$ reacts with $$C$$ and $$C{l_2}$$ to give a compound $$Y.$$ $$Y$$ is found in polymeric chain structure and is electron deficient molecule. The compound $$Y$$ is
A
$$BeO$$
B
$$BeC{l_2}$$
C
$$Be{\left( {OH} \right)_2}$$
D
$$BeC{O_3}$$
Answer :
$$BeC{l_2}$$
$$\mathop {BeO}\limits_{\left( X \right)} + C + C{l_2} \to \mathop {BeC{l_2}}\limits_{\left( Y \right)} + CO$$
$$BeC{l_2}$$ is polymeric and electron deficient molecule.

The recommended concentration of fluoride ion in drinking water is up to $$1ppm$$ as fluoride ion is required to make teeth enamel harder by converting $$\left[ {3C{a_3}{{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)}_2}.Ca{{\left( {OH} \right)}_2}} \right]$$
A
$$\left[ {Ca{F_2}} \right]$$
B
$$\left[ {3\left( {Ca{F_2}} \right).Ca{{\left( {OH} \right)}_2}} \right]$$
C
$$\left[ {3C{a_3}{{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)}_2}.Ca{F_2}} \right]$$
D
$$\left[ {3\left\{ {\left( {Ca{{\left( {OH} \right)}_2}} \right.} \right\}.Ca{F_2}} \right]$$

The metal ion, that plays an important role in muscle contraction, is
A
$$B{e^{2 + }}$$
B
$$M{g^{2 + }}$$
C
$$C{a^{2 + }}$$
D
$$B{a^{2 + }}$$
Answer :
$$C{a^{2 + }}$$
$$C{a^{2 + }}$$ plays important roles in neuromuscular function
( muscle contraction ) interneuronal transmission, cell membrane integrity and blood coagulation.
206.
In which of the following the hydration energy is higher than the lattice energy ?
A
$$BaS{O_4}$$
B
$$MgS{O_4}$$
C
$$RaS{O_4}$$
D
$$SrS{O_4}$$
Answer :
$$MgS{O_4}$$
Hydration energy of sulphate decreases from top to bottom in II group. $$M{g^{2 + }}$$ is smaller than other given ions of II group, so $$M{g^{2 + }}$$ is readily hydrated. $$MgS{O_4}$$ has higher hydration energy than lattice energy.
207.
The order of decreasing ionisation enthalpy in alkali metals is
A
$$Na > Li > K > Rb$$
B
$$Rb < Na < K < Li$$
C
$$Li > Na > K > Rb$$
D
$$K < Li < Na < Rb$$
Answer :
$$Li > Na > K > Rb$$
Ionisation enthalpy of alkali metals decreases down the group from $$Li$$ to $$Cs.$$ This is because of increase in size which outweighs the increasing nuclear charge, and the outermost electron is very well screened from the nuclear charge.

When kept open in air, the crystals of washing soda lose 9 molecules of water to form a monohydrate. \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\cdot 10{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[\text{to}\,\,\text{air}]{\text{exposed}}\] $$N{a_2}C{O_3} \cdot {H_2}O + 9{H_2}O$$
This process is called
A
efflorescence
B
deliquescence
C
dehydration
D
hydration
Answer :
efflorescence

What is the biological importance of $$N{a^ + }$$ and $${K^ + }$$ ions in cell fluids like blood plasma?
A
They participate in transmission of nerve signals.
B
They regulate the number of red and white blood corpuscles in the cell.
C
They can be present in any amount in the blood since they are absorbed by the cells.
D
They regulate the viscosity and colour of the blood.
Answer :
They participate in transmission of nerve signals.
