Arrange the following metals in which they displace each other from the solutions of their salts in decreasing order.
$$Al,Cu,Fe,Mg$$ and $$Zn$$
$$\left[ {E_{\frac{{A{l^{3 + }}}}{{Al}}}^ \circ = - 1.66\,V,E_{\frac{{C{u^{2 + }}}}{{Cu}}}^ \circ = + 0.34\,V,E_{\frac{{F{e^{2 + }}}}{{Fe}}}^ \circ = - 0.44\,V,E_{\frac{{M{g^{2 + }}}}{{Mg}}}^ \circ = - 2.36\,V\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,E_{\frac{{Z{n^{2 + }}}}{{Zn}}}^ \circ = - 0.76\,V} \right]$$
A
$$Cu,Fe,Zn,Al,Mg$$
B
$$Fe,Zn,Cu,Al,Mg$$
C
$$Mg,Cu,Fe,Zn,Al$$
D
$$Mg,Al,Zn,Fe,Cu$$
Answer :
$$Mg,Al,Zn,Fe,Cu$$
Since a metal with lower electrode potential is a stronger reducing agent, $$Mg$$ can displace all the given metals, $$Al$$ can displace all metals except $$Mg.$$ $$Zn$$ can displace all metals except $$Mg$$ and $$Al.$$ $$Fe$$ can displace only $$Cu.$$ The order in which they can displace each other from their salt solutions is $$Mg,Al,Zn,Fe,Cu.$$

Which of the following is not a disproportionation reaction?
A
B
C
D
Answer :
(A) and (B) are disproportionation reactions. (C) is an oxidation reaction.
$$2{H^ - } \to {H_2} + 2{e^ - }$$
33.
Which of the following is the strongest reducing agent in aqueous medium?
A
$$Mg$$
B
$$Na$$
C
$$Li$$
D
$$Ca$$
Answer :
$$Li$$
In an aqueous medium, $$Li$$ is the strongest reducing agent, since the high negative enthalpy of hydration compensates high $$I{E_1}.$$
34.
Which of the following colour changes shown during redox titrations is not correct?
A
$$C{r_2}O_7^{2 - }$$ oxidises the indicator diphenylamine to produce blue colour showing end point.
B
Iodine formed by oxidation of $${I^ - }$$ ions gives blue colour with starch showing end point.
C
$$KMn{O_4}$$ in the form of $$MnO_4^ - $$ ions gives pink colour showing end point.
D
Thiosulphate ions $$\left( {{S_2}O_3^{2 - }} \right)$$ give blue colour showing end point.
Answer :
Thiosulphate ions $$\left( {{S_2}O_3^{2 - }} \right)$$ give blue colour showing end point.
Thiosulphate ions do not act as indicator and do not indicate end point by change in colour.
35.
Which of the following is not an intermolecular redox reaction?
A
$$MgC{O_3} \to MgO + C{O_2}$$
B
$${O_2} + 2{H_2} \to 2{H_2}O$$
C
$$K + {H_2}O \to KOH + \left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right){H_2}$$
D
$$MnB{r_3} \to MnB{r_2} + \left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)B{r_2}$$
Answer :
$$MgC{O_3} \to MgO + C{O_2}$$
Intermolecular redox reaction and redox reactions are same.
36.
In which of the following compounds oxidation state of chlorine has two different values?
A
$$CaC{l_2}$$
B
$$NaCl$$
C
$$CaOC{l_2}$$
D
$$CC{l_4}$$
Answer :
$$CaOC{l_2}$$
$$CaOC{l_2} \to C{a^{2 + }} + OC{l^ - } + C{l^ - }$$
In $$OC{l^ - }$$ (hypochlorite ion), oxidation state of $$Cl$$
$$ = - 2 + x = - 1 \Rightarrow x = + 1$$
In $$C{l^ - },$$ oxidation state of chlorine = -1

The oxidation number of phosphorus in $$Ba{\left( {{H_2}P{O_2}} \right)_2}$$ is
