Iron filings and sulphur were mixed together and divided into two parts, 'A' and 'B'. Part 'A' was heated strongly while part 'B' was not heated. Dilute hydrochloric acid was added to both the parts and evolution of gas was seen in both the cases. How will you identify the gasesevolved?

Answer»

Solution :(i) In part 'A' iron and sulphur will remain as such in the form of mixture. On adding dilute hydrochloric ACID, iron will react to evolve hydrogen gas. The gas can be tested by bringing a burning splinter near its mouth. It will burn with a pop sound.
`Fe(s) + 2HCl(aq) rarrFeCl_(2) (aq) + H_(2)(g)`
(ii) In part 'B' iron sulphur will combine on heating to form greyish black SOLID known as iron sulphide
`Fe(s) + S(s) overset("heat")rarrFeS(s)`
When dilute hydrocloric acid is added to the greyish black MASS taken in a TUBE, a gas with foul smell SIMILAR to that of the rotten eggs will evolve. This is hydrogen sulphide `(H_(2)S)`
`FeS(s) + 2HCl(aq) rarr FeCl(aq) + H S (g)`
1363.

Iron exposed to moist air for a long time does not liberate hydrogen gas from dilute acids like HCI and H_2SO_4.Explain.

Answer»

Solution :When IRON is expresed to moist AIR for a long time rust FORMATION takes place, i.e., iron GETS converted to `Fe_2O_3.XH_2O` and hence, iron does not LIBERATE hydrogen gas form dil acids like HCI and `H_2SO_4`.
1364.

Iodination of methane is carried out in the presence of oxidizing agents like iodic acid or HNO_3 . How do you account for this?

Answer»

Solution :Chlorination of metane gives methyl chloride and hydrochloric acid which are STABLE where as iodin-ation of metane gives methyl IODIDE which is a strong reducing agent and hence reduces`CH_3-I` to`CH_4`
So, iodination is reversible
`CH_4+I_2overset(rarr)(larr)CH_3I+HI`
As a result iodination is CARRIED out in the presence of oxidizing agent like `HIO_3`which oxydises HI to `I_2` and THUS prevents the reversibilityof the reaction
`5HI+HIO_3rarrI_2+H_2O`
`CH_4+I_2overset(HIO_3)rarrCH_3I+I_2+H_2O`
1365.

In severe cold weather, a family burnt wood in the room during the night by keeping the windows close. After sometime, they felt suffocated. They immediately opened the windows and got relief. What did actually happen ?

Answer»

Solution :When wood burns, the carbon present is oxidised to carbon dioxide `(CO_(2))` which is non-poisonous. When the windows are CLOSE, the air or oxygen cannot enter the room. In the incomplete supply of oxygen, carbon is oxidised to carbon monoxide (CO) which is a highly poisonous GAS. It CAUSED suffocation in a close room. On opening the windows, the poisonous gas SLOWLY diffused out the room and fresh air came inside. That is how the poisonous effect of carbon monoxide gas was neutralised and the family got RELIEF.

In magnesium sulphide, the ratio by mass of Mg and S is 3:4. What is the ratio of number of Mg and S atoms?

Answer»

SOLUTION :FORMULA of MAGNESIUM sulphide=MgS
Ratio by mass of Mg and S=3:4
No. of atoms in 3g of Mg=`(N_(A))/(24)xx3=(N_(A))/(8)`
`"No. of atoms in 4g of S"=(N_(A))/(32)xx4=(N_(A))/(8)`
`therefore "Ratio fo number of Mg and S"=(N_(A))/(8):(N_(A))/(8) or 1:1`
