MCQ Questions for Class 11 Engineering Chemistry Some P-Block Elements Quiz 10

Which of the following acid has the same molecular weight and equivalent weight ?

0%
$H_2SO_4$
0%
$H_3PO_2$
0%
$H_3PO_3$
0%
$H_3PO_4$

Explanation

Equivalent weight equal to molecular weight divided by n- factor.
$n- factor$ in case of $H_3PO_2 = 1$
Then Equivalent weight equal to molecular weight in case of $H_3 PO_2$ .

Covalency of sulphur in

$SO_{4}^{2-}$ ion is:

0%
4
0%
6
0%
2
0%
5

Explanation

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge on the ion. The oxidation number of the sulfur atom in the

$SO_4^{-2}$ ion must be

$+6$ . For example, because the sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms in this ion must equal -2.

Colour of the solution when

$KI$ reacts with

$Br_2$ is:

0%
pale yellow
0%
reddish-brown
0%
black
0%
none of the above

Explanation

They undergo a displacement reaction where a more reactive halogen in this case bromine displaces iodine from its salt.

${ Br }_{ { 2 }_{ \left( l \right) } }+{ 2KI }_{ \left( aq \right) }\rightarrow { 2KBr }_{ \left( aq \right) }+{ I }_{ 2 }$

In this reaction, the solution will have a slight change in colour to a different shade of brown since the bromine and iodine solution are both in a different shade of brown. Since it's reddish-brown.

Hence, option B is correct.

When

${ SO }_{ 2 }$ is passed through acidified

${ K }_{ 2 }{ Cr }_{ 2 }{ O }_{ 7 }$ solution:

0%
the solution truns blue.
0%
${ SO }_{ 2 }$ is reduced.
0%
green ${ Cr }_{ 2 }({ SO }_{ 4 }{ ) }_{ 3 }$ is formed.
0%
the solution is decolourised.

Explanation

Green

$Cr_2(SO_4)_3$ is formed When

$SO_2$ is bubbled through acidified solution of

$K_2Cr_2O_7$ , the orange colour of

$K_2Cr_2O_7$ solution turns to clean green due to formation of chromium sulphate.

Hence option C is correct answer.

$HCl$ cn be oxidised by:

0%
$KMnO_4$
0%
$Cl_2$
0%
Conc. $H_2SO_4$
0%
$KMnO_4$ and Conc. $H_2SO_4$

Explanation

$H^+$ in $HCl$ is the reactant reduced, and $HCl$ is the oxidizing agent. $Zn$ is the reactant oxidized and the reducing agent. $Cu^{2+}$ in $CuCl_2$ is the reactant reduced, and $CuCl_2$ is the oxidizing agent. $Cl_2$ is the reactant reduced and the oxidizing agent.

Select the correct statements:

0%
First IP of Mg is less than that of Al
0%
$O^+$ has lower electronegativity than that of $O^-$
0%
Electron affinity of Cl is lesser than that of F
0%
Second IP of oxygen is greater than that of N

Explanation

solution:

The second ionisation energy is the energy required to remove the electron from the corresponding mono-valent cation of the respective atom.

Oxygen has greater second ionisation energy than fluorine.

This is because oxygen atom has stable electronic configuration,

$2s^2, 2p^3$ after removing one electron, the O+ shows greater ionisation energy than

$F^+$

hence the correct option: D

Blue vitriol has:

0%
Ionic bond
0%
Coordinate bond
0%
Hydrogen bond
0%
All the above

Explanation

Option D is the correct answer.

$\text{Blue vitriol$$ or $$copper sulphate pentahydrate}$ has a molecular formula of

$CuSO_4.5H_2O.$ of the five water molecules associated with this structure, only four are directly replaceable by

$NH_3$ , which suggest that water molecule is somehow differently attached.

Blue vitriol is

$CuSO_4.5H_2O$ and it has all types of bonds.

The structure of

$CuSO_4.5H_2O$ in the solid-state is shown above.

The

$Cu^{2+}$ ions are attracted towards

$SO_4^{2−}$ ions not only by ionic interactions (electrovalent) but also by coordinate covalent bonds.

The

$Cu^{2+}$ ions form coordinate covalent bonds with water as well as sulfate ions.

There are covalent bonds in water and sulfate ions.

$Pb$ whose melting point is slightly higher than that of

$Sn$ .

Hence the correct order is :

$C > Si > Ge > Sn >Pb$

Average atomic weight of boron is

$10.10$ and boron exists in two isotopic forms

$B^{10}$ and

$B^{11}$ . The percentage abundance of

$B^{10}$ is?

0%
$10\%$
0%
$90\%$
0%
$50\%$
0%
$20\%$

Explanation

Let the percentage in the form of

$B^{10}$ is x %

Therefore, the percentage in the form of

$B^{11}$ is (100-x) %

Average atomic mass =

$x \times \dfrac{10}{100} + (100-x) \times \dfrac{11}{100}$

$10.10 = \dfrac{10 \times x}{100} + \dfrac{1100-11x}{100}$

$1010 = 1100 - x$

$x = 90$

Therefore, the percentage in which

$B^{10}$ exists is 90 %

In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number which is related to the electronic configuration. Depending upon the type of orbitals receiving the last electron, the elements in the periodic table have been divided into four blocks, viz s, p, d, and f. The modern periodic table consists of 7 periods and 18 groups. Each period begins with the filling of a new energy shell. In accordance with the Aufbau principle filling of a new energy shell. In accordance with the Aufbau principle, the seven-period (1 to 7) have 2,8,8,18,18,32 and 32 elements respectively. The seventh period is still incomplete. To avoid the periodic table being too long, the two series of f - block elements, called lanthanoids and actinoids are placed at the bottom of the main body of the periodic table.
The last elements of the

$p$ -block in 6th period is represented by the outer most electronic configuration.

$\Delta G$ > 0 Spontaneous +2 is more stable

$SnO_{2} + Sn \rightarrow 2SnO$

+4 0 +2

Hence ,

$\Delta G$ > 0 Non - Spontaneous +2 is less stable

So for lead +2 and for Sn +4

Explanation

$\textbf{Inert pair effect}$ is the tendency of the two electrons in the outermost atomic s-orbital to remain unshared in compounds of post-transition metals.

Inert pair effect is not exihibited by

$\textbf{Boron}$ due to some relativistic effects caused by the enormous speed of electrons on lower energy-levels in heavier atoms.It shows only single state i.e. +3.

$\textit{Hence,}$

$\textbf{correct option is (D) B}$ .
