The catalyst and promoter respectively used in the Haber's process of industrial synthesis of ammonia are:

0%
$Mo,{ V }_{ 2 }{ O }_{ 5 }$
0%
${ V }_{ 2 }{ O }_{ 5 },Fe$
0%
$Fe,Mo$
0%
$Mo,Fe$

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option

$C$

Explanation of correct answer:

A catalyst is a substance that boosts up the reaction and helps out to form maximum product in the minimum time period, at the same time the promoter improves its performance of chemical reaction by interacting with active components of catalysts.
Ammonia formation process is exothermic and reversible that is why we use catalyst to increase the speed of the reaction.

In ammonia formation by Haber's process,

$Fe$ acts as a catalyst and

$Mo$ as a promoter.

Explanation of incorrect answer:

$V_{2}O_{5}$ act as a catalyst but not in ammonia formation, only

$Fe$ act as a catalyst and

$Mo$ as a promoter, hence other options are incorrect.

Which of the following elements occur free in nature?

0%
Nitrogen
0%
Phosphorus
0%
Arsenic
0%
Antimony

When two atoms of chlorine combine to form one molecule of chlorine gas, the energy of the molecule:

0%
Greater than that of separate atom
0%
Equal to that of separate atom
0%
Lower than that of separate atoms
0%
None of the above

Explanation

The energy of the molecule is less than that of a separate atom because the

$Cl_2$ molecule is more stable than the

$Cl$ atom.

$Cl$ atom is more reactive and it has more energy and less stability. It combines with other

$Cl$ atom to form

$Cl_2$ which has less energy and more stability than an individual atom.

Hence, option

$C$ is correct.

Which of the following has

$p\pi -d\pi$ bonding?

0%
${ NO }_{ 3 }^{ - }$
0%
${ CO }_{ 3 }^{ -2 }$
0%
${ BO }_{ 3 }^{ -3 }$
0%
${ SO }_{ 3 }^{ -2 }$

Explanation

$p\pi-d\pi$ bonding includes d-orbitals,if you observe the options only S belongs to

$3^{rd}$ period and has d-orbitals(though unoccupied in ground state).

Other options

$C$ and

$N$ belongs to

$2^{nd}$ period while B belongs to

$1^{st}$ period and doesn't have d-orbitals.

$p\pi -d\pi \quad$ bonding is present in:

0%
${ NO }_{ 3 }^{ - }$
0%
${ SO }_{ 3 }^{ 2- }$
0%
${ BO }_{ 3 }^{ 3- }$
0%
${ CO }_{ 3 }^{ 2- }$

Explanation

So,

$1p\pi - d\pi$ bonding is present is it.

To obtain 2 moles

$NH_3$ , calcium required is:

0%
1 mol
0%
2 mol
0%
3 mol
0%
4 mol

Explanation

It can be easily observed from the reaction given that 1mole of Ca is required to get 2 moles of

$NH_3$

Which compound of xenon is not possible ?

0%
$XeF_{2}$
0%
$XeF_{4}$
0%
$XeF_{5}$
0%
$XeF_{6}$

Explanation

Xe has a complete filled 5p configuration. As a result when it undergoes bonding with an odd number (3 or 5) of F atoms it leaves behind one unpaired electron. This causes the molecule to become unstable. As a result

$XeF_3$ and $XeF_5$ do not exist.

Hence option C is correct answer.

As per Braun's principle, yield of Ammonia will be more in Haber's process under ______, conditions (

$L=$ Low;

$H=$ high;

$T=$ Temp;

$P=$ Pressure)

0%
$LT;LP$
0%
$LT;HP$
0%
$HT;HP$
0%
$HT;LP$

Explanation

The manufacture of

$NH_3$ by Haber's process is given as

${ N }_{ 2 }(g)+{ 3H }_{ 2 }(g)\rightleftharpoons { 2NH }_{ 3 }(g)\\ \triangle 6H°=-92.4\\$

so, it is an exothermic reversible reaction and occurs with decrease in volume.

so, the low temperature will favour the forward reaction which is exothermic in nature

and since the reaction occurs with a decrease in volume .so, high pressure will favour the formation of of

$NH_3$ .

0%
${PoBr }_{ 4 } < { TeBr }_{ 4 } < { SeBr}_{ 4 }$
0%
None of the these

Explanation

Stability of higher oxidation state increase as we go down the group - Tetrabromides of sulphur and selenium. i.e,

$SBr_4,SeBr_4$ are unstable where as

$TeBr_4, PoBr_4$ are quite stable.

Stability :

$SeBr_4<TeBr_4<PoBr_4$

In which reaction ammonia acts as an acid?

0%
${NH}_{3}+HCl\rightarrow {NH}_{4}Cl$
0%
${NH}_{3}+{H}^{+}\rightarrow {NH}_{4}^{+}$
0%
${NH}_{3}+Na\rightarrow Na{NH}_{2}+\cfrac{1}{2}{H}_{2}$
0%
${NH}_{3}$ cannot act as an acid

Explanation

$NH_3$ is a strong base due to high electron density on nitrogen

So, it cannot act as an acid .

0%
N $_{2}$ O $_{3}$ ,N $_{2}$ O $_{4}$ ,N $_{2}$ O $_{5}$
0%
NaCl ,NaBr ,Nal
0%
CS $_{2}$ ,CO $_{2}$ , SO $_{2}$
0%
MgO,Mg(OH) $_{2}$

$" N < P < As"$
Above order is incorrect for:

0%
Electropositivity
0%
Covalent radii
0%
Size of $M^{3-}$
0%
Acidic nature of $M_2O_3$ type oxide

Explanation

$N, \ P \ and \ As$ belong to the same group. On moving down the group the atomic radii of atoms increase. Due to the increase in atomic size, the covalent radii and ionic radii also increases. Also with an increase in the size of atom, the nuclear pull on the outermost electrons as well as the ability to attract electrons decreases, resulting in decrease in electronegativity. Hence, electropositivity increases.

$M_2O_3$ type of oxides have central atom in +3 oxidation state. On moving down the group the ability of atoms to loose electrons increases due to the weakening of nuclear pull on the outermost electrons, hence, basicity increases. Thus, the acidic nature of oxides decreases.

The correct order of stability is

0%
${ N }_{ 2 }>{ N }_{ 2 }^{ + }>{ N }_{ 2 }^{ - }$
0%
${ N }_{ 2 }>{ N }^{ - }_{ 2 }>{ N }_{ 2 }^{ + }$
0%
${ N }_{ 2 }^{ + }>{ N }^{ - }_{ 2 }>{ N }_{ 2 }$
0%
None of these

Explanation

Bond order for

$N_2=3$

Bond order for

$N_2^+=2.5$

Bond order for

$N_2^-=2$

Bond order

$\propto$ Stability of molecule.

Therefore, the correct order of stability is:

$N_2>N_2^+>N_2^-$

$NH_3$ is:

0%
high temperature and high pressure
0%
low temperature and low pressure

0%
low temperature and high pressure

Explanation

$N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NH_{3(g)}$

$\Delta H = - 92.38$ kj/mol

(i) The reaction is exothermic, so according to Le -Chatelier's principle it is favoured at low temperature.

The wrong statements about

$\displaystyle NH_{3}$ is :

0%
it is oxidised with oxygen at $\displaystyle 700^{\circ}C$ in the presence of platinum
0%
it gives black precipitate with calomel
0%
it can be dried by $\displaystyle P_{2}O_{5},\ H_{2}SO_{4}\,$ and $\, CaCl_{2}$
0%
it gives white fumes with HCI

Explanation

$NH_3$ is oxidised to nitric oxide and water with oxygen at

$700^oC$ in the presence of platinum.

Aqueous ammonia reacts with calomel

$Hg_2Cl_2$ to produce metallic mercury, a black precipitate.

$CaO$ calcium oxide is used for drying of ammonia. Because

$CaO$ being basic in nature does not react with

$NH_3$ while

$P_2O_5,$ conc.

$H_2SO_4 \$ and

$\ CaCl_2$ reacts with it.

$CaO + H_2O + NH_3 \rightarrow NH_3 + Ca(OH)_2$

$CaCl_2 + 8NH_3 \rightarrow CaCl_2.8NH_3$

$P_2O_5 + 3H_2O + 6NH_3 \rightarrow 2(NH_4)_3PO_4$

$H_2SO_4 + NH_3 \rightarrow (NH_4)_2SO_4$

$NH_3$ gives White fumes of

$NH_4Cl$ with

$HCl$ .

Why does one who drinks alcohol get tempted to drink more alcohol?

0%
Because $CO_2$ increases in liver
0%
Because formaldehyde increases in liver
0%
Because amount of enzyme P- $450$ increases in liver
0%
Because amount of disulphiram increases in liver

Explanation

Because the amount of enzyme P-

$450$ increases in the liver.
In the liver of alcohol drinkers, the amount of the P-

$450$ enzyme increases, and thus, the person is tempted to drink more alcohol.

Why are some elements chemically inert?

0%
Because their outermost shell is completely empty
0%
Because their outermost shell is completely filled
0%
Because their innermost shell is completely empty
0%
Because their innermost shell is completely filled

Explanation

Due to the fully filled outermost shell, the elements are stable. Hence they do not take part in the reaction.

OPtion

$B$ is correct.

The comparatively high b.pt of

$HF$ is due to:

0%
high reactivity of fluoring
0%
small size of hydrogen atom
0%
formation of hydrogen bonds and consequent association
0%
high IE of flourine

Explanation

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is found in

${(HF)}_{n}$ due to higher electronegativity of fluorine atoms

$\underset { \downarrow \\ hydrogen\quad bonding }{ \cdot \cdot \cdot H-F\cdot \cdot \cdot H-F\cdot \cdot \cdot H-F\cdot \cdot \cdot }$

Hydrogen bonding is helpful in the association of

$HF$ molecule, so

$HF$ is found in liquid form.
