2. Which of the following statements about Na2O2 is not correct?

(1) Na2O2 oxidises Cr3+ to CrO42- in acid medium

(2) It is diamagnetic in nature

(3) It is the superoxide of sodium

(4) It is a derivative of H2O2

Solution:

Na2O2 is sodium peroxide. It is not superoxide.

Hence option (3) is the answer.

3. The metal that cannot be obtained by electrolysis of an aqueous solution of its salt is

1) Cr

2) Ag

3) Ca

4) Cu

Solution:

Ca cannot be obtained by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of its salt.

Hence option (3) is the answer.

---

4. Based on lattice energy and other considerations, which one of the following alkali metal chlorides is expected to have the highest melting point?

(1) RbCl

(2) LiCl

(3) KCl

(4) NaCl

Solution:

NaCl has the highest lattice energy and thus the highest melting point.

Hence option (4) is the answer.

---

5. A metal M on heating in nitrogen gas gives Y. Y on treatment with H2O gives a colourless gas which when passed through CuSO4 solution gives a blue colour, Y is :

(1) NH3

(2) MgO

(3) Mg3N2

(4) Mg(NO3)2

Solution:

Magnesium, when heated with nitrogen, forms magnesium nitride.

3Mg + N2 → Mg3N2

Magnesium nitride reacts with water to form ammonia and magnesium hydroxide.

Mg3N2 → Mg(OH)2 + NH3

When ammonia gas is passed through CuSO4 solution, a blue colour is obtained.

Hence option (3) is the answer.

---

6. Which one of the following will react most vigorously with water?

(1) Li

(2) K

(3) Rb

(4) Na

Solution:

The reactivity of s-block elements increases down a group. So Rubidium will react most vigorously with water.

Hence option (3) is the answer.

---

7. The hydrogen bomb is based on the principle of

(1) Nuclear fission

(2) Natural radioactivity

(3) Nuclear fusion

(4) Artificial radioactivity

Solution:

Hydrogen bomb is based on the fusion of isotopes of hydrogen.

Hence option (3) is the answer.

---

8. Amongst LiCl, RbCl, BeCl2 and MgCl2 the compounds with the greatest and the least ionic character, respectively are :

(1) RbCl and MgCl2

(2) LiCl and RbCl

(3) MgCl2 and BeCl2

(4) RbCl and BeCl2

Solution:

Because of the smallest cationic size, BeCl2 is the least ionic. Rb+ has the biggest ionic size. So it has the greatest ionic character.

Hence option (4) is the answer.

---

9. In curing cement plasters water is sprinkled from time to time. This helps in

(1) developing interlocking needle-like crystals of hydrated silicates.

(2) hydrating sand and gravel mixed with cement

(3) converting sand into silicic acid

(4) keeping it cool

Solution:

During the hydration of calcium aluminosilicates, cross-links are developed

Hence option (1) is the answer.

---

10. K0₂ (potassium superoxide) is used in oxygen cylinders in space and submarines. This is because it

(1) absorbs C02 and increases 02 content

(2) eliminates moisture

(3) absorbs C02

(4) produces ozone

Solution:

2KO, + 2H20 —> 2KOH + H202 + 02. It eliminates moisture.

Hence option (2) is the answer.

---

11. A metal M readily forms its sulphate MS04 which is water soluble. It forms its oxide MO which becomes inert on heating. It forms an insoluble hydroxide M(OH)2 which is soluble in NaOH solution. Then M is

(1) Mg

(2) Ba

(3) Ca

(4) Be

Solution:

Because of its small size, Beryllium shows anomalous properties with alkaline earth metals.

Hence option (4) is the answer.

---

12. The substance not likely to contain CaC03 is

(1) calcined gypsum

(2) sea shells

(3) dolomite

(4) a marble statue

Solution:

The composition of gypsum is CaS04. 2H20.

Hence option (1) is the answer.

---

13. Several blocks of magnesium are fixed to the bottom of a ship to

(1) make the ship lighter

(2) prevent the action of water and salt

(3) prevent puncturing by under-sea rocks

(4) keep away the sharks

Solution:

Magnesium provides cathodic protection and prevents corrosion.

Hence option (2) is the answer.

---

14. The first ionization potential of Na is 5.1 eV. The value of electron gain enthalpy of Na+ will be

1) -2.55 eV

2) -5.1 eV

3)-10.2 eV

4) +2.55 eV

Solution:

The ionisation potential of an alkali metal atom and the electron affinity of its monovalent cation are the same in magnitude but with opposite signs.

Hence option (2) is the answer.

---

15. In Zeolites and synthetic resin method, which will be more efficient in removing permanent hardness of water.

(1) Synthetic resin method as it exchanges only cation.

(2) zeolite resin method as it exchanges only cation.

(3) Synthetic resin method as it exchanges only anion.

(4) Synthetic resin is harmful to nature.

Solution:

The synthetic resin method will be more efficient in removing the permanent hardness of water because it exchanges only cation.

Hence option (1) is the answer.
