30.

The acids present in acid rain are ……….

Answer»

Peroxyacetylnitrate
`H_2 CO_3`
`NHO_3`
`H_2 SO_4`

Solution :`Co_2 ` is lightly SOLUBLE in water forming carbonic acid.
`CO_2 + H_2 O to H_2 CO_3`
The oxides of NITROGEN undergo oxidation REACTION followed by reaction with water VAPOURS to form nitric acid.
`NO + O_2 to H_2 CO_3`
`2NO_2 + H_2 O to HNO_3 + HNO_2`
The oxidation of `SO_2 and SO_3` occurs in the PRESENCE of dust particles or metal ions. The `SO_3` then reacts with water vapours to form `H_2 SO_4`
`2SO_2 + O_2 underset("or metal ions")overset("Dust particles")to 2SO_3`
`SO_3 + H_2 O to H_2 SO_4`

The acidity of diprotic acids in aqueous solutions increases in the order

Answer»

`H_(2)S lt H_(2)Se lt H_(2)Te `
`H_(2)Se lt H_(2)S lt H_(2)Te`
`H_(2)Te lt H_(2)S lt H_(2)Se`
`H_(2)Se lt H_(2)Te lt H_(2)S`

Solution :As the size of the element (X) INCREASES, the length of H-X bond increases and hence its bond STRENGTH decreases. As a result, it becomes easier to break the H-X bond to liberate `H^(+)` IONS and hence the acidity increases in the order :`H_(2)S lt H_(2)Se lt H_(2)Te, ` i.e., OPTION (a) is correct.

41.

The acid ionization hydrolysis constant of Zn^(2+)is 1.0xx 10^(-9)which of the following statement are incorrect ?

Answer»

The `[H_3O^(+) ]`ion concentration in 0.001 M `Zn Cl_2` solution is `1.0 xx 10^(4) `
The pH of 0.001 `M ZnCl_2 ` solution is 6
The basic dissociation constant of `Zn(OH)^(+)is 1.0 xx 10^(-5) `
The basic dissociation constant of `Zn(OH)^(+)is 1.0 xx 10^(5)`

Solution :`K_(h_1)= ( K_W)/( K_(b_2) ) rArr K_(h_2 )= ( 1xx 10 ^(_14) )/(1 xx 10 ^(_19)) = 10 ^(-5) `
` pH = 7 - ( P^(K_(b_2)))/( 2) - (1)/(2) log C= 7-(5)/(2) - (1)/(2) log 10 ^(-3)= 6`
` THEREFORE [H^(+) ] = 10 ^(-6) `
