$$A{l_2}{O_3}$$ can be converted into anhydrous $$AlC{l_3}$$ by heating
A
$$A{l_2}{O_3}$$ with $$HCl$$ gas
B
$$A{l_2}{O_3}$$ with $$NaCl$$ in solid state
C
a mixture of $$A{l_2}{O_3}$$ and carbon in dry $$C{l_2}$$ gas
D
$$A{l_2}{O_3}$$ with $$C{l_2}$$ gas.
Answer :
a mixture of $$A{l_2}{O_3}$$ and carbon in dry $$C{l_2}$$ gas
$$A{l_2}{O_3}$$ may be converted into anhyd. $$AlC{l_3}$$ by heating a mixture of $$A{l_2}{O_3}$$ and carbon in dry chlorine.
\[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+3C+\underset{\text{Hot and dry}}{\mathop{3C{{l}_{2}}}}\,\to \underset{\text{Anhy}\,AlC{{l}_{3}}}{\mathop{A{{l}_{2}}C{{l}_{6}}}}\,\] NOTE
Anhydrous $$AlC{l_3}$$ exists in the form of dimer as $${A{l_2}C{l_6}}$$
303.
$${P_2}{O_5}$$ is heated with water to give
A
hypophosphorous acid
B
phosphorous acid
C
hypophosphoric acid
D
orthophosphoric acid
Answer :
orthophosphoric acid
When $${P_2}{O_5}$$ $$\left( {{\text{or}}\,{P_4}{O_{10}}} \right)$$ is heated with water, it form orthophosphoric acid $$\left( {{H_3}P{O_4}} \right).$$
$${P_4}{O_{10}} + 6{H_2}O \to 4{H_3}P{O_4}$$
304.
To a piece of charcoal, sulphuric acid is added. Then :
A
there is no reaction
B
water gas is formed
C
$$S{O_2}$$ and $$C{O_2}$$ are evolved
D
$$CO$$ and $$S{O_2}$$ are evolved
Answer :
$$S{O_2}$$ and $$C{O_2}$$ are evolved
Charcoal is a pure form of carbon, its reaction with hot $$conc.\,{H_2}S{O_4}$$ is as follows :
$$C + 2{H_2}S{O_4} \to 2{H_2}O + 2S{O_2} + C{O_2}$$

Heating an aqueous solution of aluminium chloride to dryness will give
A
$$Al\left( {OH} \right)C{l_2}$$
B
$$A{l_2}{O_3}\,$$
C
$$A{l_2}C{l_6}$$
D
$$AlC{l_3}$$
Answer :
$$A{l_2}{O_3}\,$$
The solution of aluminium chloride in water is acidic due to hydrolysis.
$$AlC{l_3} + 3{H_2}O \to Al{\left( {OH} \right)_3} + 3HCl$$
On heating it till dryness $$Al{\left( {OH} \right)_3}$$ is converted into $$A{l_2}{O_3}$$
$$Al{\left( {OH} \right)_3}\mathop \to \limits^\vartriangle A{l_2}{O_3} + 3{H_2}O$$

When sugar is treated with $$conc.$$ sulphuric acid, the sugar is charred. In this process, sugar is
307.
Which one of the following statement regarding helium is incorrect?
A
It is used to produce and sustain powerful
superconducting magnets
B
It is used as a cryogenic agent for carrying out
experiments at low temperatures
C
It is used to fill gas balloons instead of hydrogen
because it is lighter and non-inflammable
D
It is used in gas-cooled nuclear reactors
Answer :
It is used to fill gas balloons instead of hydrogen
because it is lighter and non-inflammable
Helium is heavier than hydrogen although it is non inflammable
308.
Among the following molecules,
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {\text{i}} \right)Xe{O_3} \cr
& \left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)XeO{F_4} \cr
& \left( {{\text{iii}}} \right)Xe{F_6} \cr} $$
those having same number of lone pairs on $$Xe$$ are
A
(i) and (ii) only
B
(i) and (iii) only
C
(ii) and (iii) only
D
(i), (ii) and (iii)
Answer :
(i), (ii) and (iii)
309.
Which of the following statements is wrong?
A
Single $$N-N$$ bond is stronger than the single $$P-P$$ bond.
B
$$P{H_3}$$ can act as a ligand in the formation of coordination compound with transition elements.
C
$$N{O_2}$$ is paramagnetic in nature.
D
Covalency of nitrogen in $${N_2}{O_5}$$ is four.
Answer :
Single $$N-N$$ bond is stronger than the single $$P-P$$ bond.
The single $$N-N$$ bond is weaker than the single $$P- P$$ bond because of high inter-electronic repulsions of the non-bonding electrons, owing to the small bond length.
310.

A
Helium has the lowest boiling point among the noble gases.
B
Argon is used in electric bulbs.
C

D
$$Xe$$ forms $$Xe{F_6}.$$
Answer :
Krypton is obtained during radioactive disintegration.
$$Kr$$ is not obtained during radioactive disintegration.
