A
reducing $$N{a_2}S{O_4}$$ solution with $${H_2}S$$
B
boiling $$N{a_2}S{O_3}$$ solution with $$S$$ in alkaline medium
C
neutralising $${H_2}{S_2}{O_3}$$ solution with $$\,NaOH$$
D
boiling $$N{a_2}S{O_3}$$ solution with $$S$$ in acidic medium
Answer :
boiling $$N{a_2}S{O_3}$$ solution with $$S$$ in alkaline medium
93.
The number of $$P–OH$$ bonds and the oxidation state of phosphorus atom in pyrophosphoric acid $$\left( {{H_4}{P_2}{O_7}} \right)$$ respectively are :
A
four and four
B
five and four
C
five and five
D
four and five
Answer :
four and five
Oxidation State :
Each $$P$$ atom is bound to one oxygen = –1
$$\eqalign{
& 2OH = - 1 \times 2 = - 2 \cr
& 1\,\,{\text{Oxygen}} = - 2 \cr
& {\text{Total}} = - 5 \cr
& P = + 5. \cr} $$
95.
Which of the statements given below is incorrect?
A
$$C{l_2}{O_7}$$ is an anhydride of perchloric acid
B
$${O_3}$$ molecule is bent
C
$$ONF$$ is isoelectronic with $$N{O_2}$$
D
$$O{F_2}$$ is an oxide of fluorine
Answer :
$$O{F_2}$$ is an oxide of fluorine
(A) $$C{l_2}{O_7}$$ is an anhydride of perchloric acid
\[2HCl{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow[-{{H}_{2}}O]{\Delta }C{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]
(B) Shape of $${O_3}$$ molecule is bent.
(C) Number of electrons in $$ONF = 24$$
Number of electrons in $$N{O_2} = 24$$
∴ $$ONF$$ and $$N{O_2}$$ both are isoelectronic.
(D) $$O{F_2}$$ is a fluoride of oxygen because electronegativity of fluorine is more than that of oxygen.
$$O{F_2} = $$ Oxygen difluoride
96.
The bonds present in $${N_2}{O_5}$$ are :
A
only ionic
B
covalent and coordinate
C
only covalent
D
covalent and ionic
Answer :
covalent and coordinate
The structure clearly shows the presence of covalent and co-ordinate bonds.
97.
The role of fluorspar $$\left( {Ca{F_2}} \right)$$ which is added in small quantities in the electrolytic reduction of alumina dissolved in fused cryolite $$\left( {N{a_3}Al{F_6}} \right)$$ is
A
as a catalyst
B
to make the fused mixture very conducting
C
to increase the temperature of the melt.
D
to decrease the rate of oxidation of carbon at the anode.
Answer :
to make the fused mixture very conducting
$${Ca{F_2}}$$ when added to fused cryolite, lowers the $$m.p.$$ and increases the conductivity.
98.
Which of the following is most stable to heat
A
$$HCl$$
B
$$HOCl$$
C
$$HBr$$
D
$$HI$$
Answer :
$$HCl$$
Due to highest bond dissociation energy.
99.
Nitrogen forms stable $${N_2}$$ molecule but phosphorus is converted to $${P_4}$$ from $${P_2}$$ because
A
$$p\pi - p\pi $$ bonding is strong in phosphorus
B
$$p\pi - p\pi $$ bonding is weak in phosphorus
C
triple bond is present in phosphorus
D
single $$P-P$$ bond is weaker than $$N-N$$ bond.
Answer :
$$p\pi - p\pi $$ bonding is weak in phosphorus
$$p\pi - p\pi $$ bonding in nitrogen is strong hence it can form triple bond with another $$N.$$ Single $$N-N$$ bond is weaker than $$P - P$$ bond due to high interionic repulsion of non-bonding electrons. Hence, $$N \equiv N$$ is stable and $${P_2}$$ is not.

There is no $$S - S$$ bond in :
A
$${S_2}O_4^{2 - }$$
B
$${S_2}O_5^{2 - }$$
C
$${S_2}O_3^{2 - }$$
D
$${S_2}O_7^{2 - }$$
Answer :
$${S_2}O_7^{2 - }$$
$${\text{In}}$$ $${S_2}O_7^{2 - }$$ $${\text{there is an}}$$ $$S - O - S$$ $${\text{bond unlike in other}}{\text{. So}}$$ $$S - S$$ $${\text{bond is absent as can be seen from the structure drawn}}$$ .
