Question 1
1 / -0

A
A. (i) (c) (ii) (b) (iii) (d) (iv) (a), (e)

B
B. (i) (a) (ii) (b) (iii) (d) (iv) (a), (e)

D
D. (i) (d) (ii) (b) (iii) (d) (iv) (a), (e)

Solution

(i) Li - Due to very high hydration enthalpy, E⁰ is most negative.
(ii) Na - Na gives NaOH (strong base). One mole of it replaces 1 mol H⁺ from acid therefore it is the strongest monoacidic base.
(iii) Ca - Hydration energy is very low therefore, calcium oxalate is insoluble.
(iv) Ba - Hydration energy is low as the size Ba²⁺ is large therefore barium sulphate is insoluble. 6s² is valence shell electronic configuration.

Question 4
1 / -0

In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.
Assertion (A): The carbonate of lithium decomposes easily on heating to form lithium oxide and CO₂.
Reason (R): Lithium being very small in size polarises large carbonate ion leading to the formation of more stable Li₂O and CO₂.

A
A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

B
B. Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C
C. Both A and R are not correct

D
D. A is not correct but R is correct.

Solution

Unlike other alkali metal carbonates which are stable in heat Lithium being very small in size polarises a large CO₃^2– ion leading to the formation of more stable Li₂O and CO₂.
Li₂CO₃ → Li₂O + CO₂
Polarisation is the distortion of electron cloud of the anion CO₃^2- by the cation Li²⁺.
Question 5
1 / -0

In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.
Assertion (A) : Beryllium carbonate is kept in the atmosphere of carbon dioxide.
Reason (R) : Beryllium carbonate is unstable and decomposes to give beryllium oxide and carbon dioxide.

A
A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

B
B. Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C
C. Both A and R are not correct.

D
D. A is not correct but R is correct

Solution

Beryllium carbonate is kept in the atmosphere of carbon dioxide as it is unstable and decomposes to give beryllium oxide and carbon dioxide.
BeCO₃ ⇌ BeO + CO₂
When they are stored in the atmosphere of CO₂, the concentration of CO₂ increases in the right side, making the reaction to shift towards backside so that the decomposition of beryllium carbonate is prevented.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the correct statements from the following.
(i) Beryllium is not readily attacked by acids because of the presence of an oxide film on the surface of the metal.
(ii) Beryllium sulphate is readily soluble in water as the greater hydration enthalpy of Be²⁺ overcomes the lattice enthalpy factor.
(iii) Beryllium exhibits coordination number more than four.
(iii) Beryllium oxide is purely acidic in nature.

A
A. (i) and (ii)

B
B. (iii) and (iv)

C
C. Both (a) and (b)

D
D. None of the above
Solution
Beryllium does not exhibit coordination number more than four as in its valence shell there are only four orbitals.
Beryllium oxide is amphoteric in nature.
Question 7
1 / -0

Which of the following are the correct reasons for anomalous behaviour of lithium?
(i) Exceptionally small size of its atom
(ii) Its high polarising power
(iii) It has high degree of hydration
(iv) Exceptionally low ionisation enthalpy

A
A. (i) and (ii)

B
B. (iii) and (iv)

C
C. Both (a) and (b)

D
D. None of the above

Solution

Lithium has high ionization enthalpy and also the high degree of hydration.This is due to its small size.
Question 8
1 / -0

When Zeolite, which is hydrated sodium aluminium silicate is treated with hard water, the sodium ions are exchanged with which of the following ion(s)?
(i) H⁺ ions
(ii) Mg²⁺ ions
(iii) Ca²⁺ ions
(iv) SO₄^2– ions

A
A. (i) and (ii)

B
B. (ii) and (iii)

C
C. (iii) and (iv)

D
D. (i) and (iv)

Solution

Permutit or zeolites are packed in a suitable container and a slow stream of hard water is passed through this material. As a result, calcium and magnesium ions present in hard water are exchanged with sodium ions in the permutit (Na + Al-Silicate). The outgoing water contains sodium salts, which do not cause hardness.
CaCl₂ + 2Na⁺ → Ca(Al−silicate)₂ + 2NaCl
MgCl₂ + 2Na⁺ → Ca(Al−silicate)₂ + 2MgCl
So here the sodium ions are exchanged with both Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions.
Question 9
1 / -0

Amphoteric hydroxides react with both alkalies and acids. Which of the following Group 2 metal hydroxides is soluble in sodium hydroxide?

A
A. Be(OH)₂

B
B. Mg(OH)₂

C
C. Ca(OH)₂

D
D. Ba(OH)₂

Solution

On reaction with NaOH, Be(OH)₂ forms beryllate ion, becoming soluble in it. Be(OH)₂ + 2OH^- → [Be(OH)₄]²
Question 10
1 / -0

A chemical A is used for the preparation of washing soda to recover ammonia. When CO₂ is bubbled through an aqueous solution of A, the solution turns milky. It is used in white washing due to disinfectant nature. What is the chemical formula of A?

A
A. Ca(HCO₃)₂

B
B. CaO

C
C. Ca(OH)₂
