On reaction with $$C{l_2},$$ phosphorus forms two types of halides $$'A'$$ and $$'B'.$$ Halide $$'A'$$ is yellowish-white powder but halide $$'B'$$ is colourless oily liquid. What would be the hydrolysis products of $$'A'$$ and $$'B'$$ respectively?
A
$${H_3}P{O_4},{H_3}P{O_3}$$
B
$$HOP{O_3},{H_2}P{O_2}$$
C
$${H_3}P{O_3},{H_3}P{O_4}$$
D
$$HP{O_3},{H_3}P{O_3}$$
Answer :
$${H_3}P{O_4},{H_3}P{O_3}$$
$$A$$ is $$PC{l_5}$$ ( yellowish white powder ).
$${P_4} + 10C{l_2} \to 4PC{l_5}$$
$$B$$ is $$PC{l_3}$$ ( colourless oily liquid ).
$${P_4} + 6C{l_2} \to 4PC{l_3}$$
The products of hydrolysis of $$PC{l_3}$$ and $$PC{l_5}$$ are :
$$\eqalign{
& PC{l_3} + 3{H_2}O \to \mathop {{H_3}P{O_3}}\limits_{\left( B \right)} + 3HCl \cr
& PC{l_5} + 4{H_2}O \to \mathop {{H_3}P{O_4}}\limits_{\left( A \right)} + 5HCl \cr} $$

The correct geometry and hybridisation for $$Xe{F_4}$$ are
A
octahedral, $$s{p^3}{d^2}$$
B
trigonal bipyramidal, $$s{p^3}d$$
C
planar triangle, $$s{p^3}{d^3}$$
D
square planar, $$s{p^3}{d^2}$$
Answer :
octahedral, $$s{p^3}{d^2}$$
Key Idea Geometry is determined by electron pair arrangement whereas shape is determined by arrangement of atoms around the centre atom.
Geometry — octahedral, Hybridisation — $$s{p^3}{d^2}$$
Thus, option (A) is correct.
436.
Name of the structure of silicates in which three oxygen atoms of $${\left[ {Si{O_4}} \right]^{4 - }}$$ are shared.
A
Pyrosilicate
B
Sheet silicate
C
Linear chain silicate
D
Three dimensional silicate
Answer :
Sheet silicate
Two dimensional sheet structures are formed when three oxygen atoms of each $${\left[ {Si{O_4}} \right]^{4 - }}$$ tetrahedral are shared.
437.
Which of the following is not correctly matched?
A
Acidic oxides - $${P_2}{O_5},N{O_2},C{l_2}{O_7}$$
B
Basic oxides - $$N{a_2}O,CaO,MgO$$
C
Neutral oxides - $$C{O_2},CO,BeO$$
D
Amphoteric oxides - $$ZnO,SnO,A{l_2}{O_3}$$
Answer :
Neutral oxides - $$C{O_2},CO,BeO$$
$$C{O_2}$$ is an acidic oxide, $$CO$$ is neutral and $$BeO$$ is an amphoteric oxide.
438.
Which of the following statements about anhydrous aluminium chloride is correct?
A
it exists as $$AIC{l_3}$$ molecules
B
it is not easily hydrolysed
C
it sublimes at $${100^ \circ }$$ under vacuum
D
it is a strong Lewis base
Answer :
it sublimes at $${100^ \circ }$$ under vacuum
$$AlC{l_3}$$ exists as a dimer $$\left( {A{l_2}C{l_6}} \right)$$ . It is a strong Lewis acid as it has an incomplete octet and has a tendency to gain electrons. $$AlC{l_3}$$ undergoes hydrolysis easily and forms an acidic solution.
$$AlC{l_3} + 3{H_2}O \to Al{\left( {OH} \right)_3} + 3HCl\,$$
Option (C) is true that $$AlC{l_3}$$ sublimes at $${100^ \circ }C$$ under vacuum.
$$AlC{l_3}$$ is a Lewis acid.
439.
Which is the hardest compound of boron?
A
$${B_2}{O_3}$$
B
$${H_3}B{O_3}$$
C
$${B_4}C$$
D
$${B_2}{H_6}$$
Answer :
$${B_4}C$$
Boron carbide $${B_4}C$$ is a very hard substance like $$SiC.$$

The order of the oxidation state of the phosphorus atom in $${H_3}P{O_2},{H_3}P{O_4},{H_3}P{O_3}\,{\text{and}}\,{{\text{H}}_4}{P_2}{O_6}\,\,{\text{is}}$$
A
$${H_3}P{O_3} > {H_3}P{O_2} > {H_3}P{O_4} > {H_4}{P_2}{O_6}$$
B
$${H_3}P{O_4} > {H_3}P{O_2} > {H_3}P{O_3} > {H_4}{P_2}{O_6}$$
C
$${H_3}P{O_4} > {H_4}{P_2}{O_6} > {H_3}P{O_3} > \,{H_3}P{O_2}$$
D
$${H_3}P{O_2} > {H_3}P{O_3} > {H_4}{P_2}{O_6} > {H_3}P{O_4}$$
