222.
Metals form basic hydroxides. Which of the following metal hydroxide is the least basic?
A
$$Mg{\left( {OH} \right)_2}$$
B
$$Ca{\left( {OH} \right)_2}$$
C
$$Sr{\left( {OH} \right)_2}$$
D
$$Ba{\left( {OH} \right)_2}$$
Answer :
$$Mg{\left( {OH} \right)_2}$$
The basic character of metal hydroxides increases down the group from $$Mg{\left( {OH} \right)_2}$$ to $$Ba{\left( {OH} \right)_2}$$ due to increase in size, ionization enthalpy decreases and the $$M - O$$ bond becomes weaker.

$$Na$$
B
$${H_2}O$$
C
$${H_2}$$
D

Answer :
$${H_2}$$
$${H_2}$$ gas produced during the reaction which burns in process.
$$2Na + 2{H_2}O \to 2NaOH + {H_2}$$
227.

228.
Metallic magnesium is prepared by
A
reduction of $$MgO$$ by coke.
B
electrolysis of aqueous solution of $$Mg{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2}.$$
C

B
Plaster of Paris can be obtained by hydration of gypsum
C
Plaster of Paris is obtained by partial oxidation of gypsum
D
Gypsum contains a lower percentage of calcium than plaster of Paris
Answer :
Gypsum contains a lower percentage of calcium than plaster of Paris
The formula of gypsum is $$CaS{O_4} \cdot 2{H_2}O$$ and that of plaster of Paris is $${\left( {CaS{O_4}} \right)_2} \cdot 2{H_2}O,$$ so the percentage of $$Ca$$ in plaster of Paris is more than gypsum.
