Which of the following species does not show disproportionation reaction?A. `ClO_4^(-)`B. `ClO_(3)^(-)`C. `ClO_2^(-)`D. `ClO^(-)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
In a disproportionation reaction, an element in one oxidation state is simultaneously oxidized as well as reduced. This is possible provided the element (capable of existing in at least three oxidation states) is present in the intermediate oxidation state in the reacting species.
Among the oxo-anions of chlorine listed above, `ClI_(4)^(-)` does not disproportionate because in this oxoanion, ` Cl` is present in its highest oxidation state (+7). Thus it can be reduced only but cannot be oxidized. The disproportionation reactions for the other three oxoanions of chlorine are as follows :
`4overset(+5)(Cl)O_(3)^(-) rarr overset(-1)(Cl^(-))+3overset(+7)(Cl)O_(4)^(-)`
`6overset(+3)(Cl)O_(2)^(-) rarr 2overset(-1)(Cl^(-))+4overset(+5)(Cl)O_(3)^(-)`
`3overset(+3)(Cl)O^(-) rarr 2overset(-1)(Cl^(-))+overset(+5)(Cl)O_(3)^(-)`

What sort of informations can you draw from the following reaction? `(CN)_(2)(g) + 2overset(Θ)(OH)(aq) rarrCN^(Θ)(aq)+CNO^(Θ)(aq) + H_(2)O(l)`

Answer» The oxidation number of carbon in `(CN)^(2) , CN^(-)` and `CNO^(-)` are +3, +2 and +4 respectively . These are obtained as shown below :
Let the oxidation number of C be x .
`(CN)_(2)`
`2(x - 3) = 0`
`therefore x = 3`
`CN^(-)`
`x - 3 = -1`
`therefore x = 2 `
`CNO^(-)`
`x - 3 -2 = -1`
`therefore x = 4`
The oxidation number of carbon in the various species is :
`(overset(+3)(C) N)_(2 (g)) + 2OH_((aq))^(-) to overset(+2)(C) N_((aq))^(-) + overset(+4)(C)NO_((aq))^(-) + H_(2)O_((l))`
It can be easily observed that the same compound is being reduced and oxidised simultaneously in the given equation. Reactions in which the same compound is reduced and oxidised is known as disproportionation reactions. Thus, it can be said that the alkaline decomposition of cyanogen is an example of disproportionation reaction.

Which species are oxidised and reduced in the reaction? `FeC_(2)O_(4)+KMnO_(4)rarrFe^(2+)+CO_(2)+Mn^(2+)`A. Oxidised: `Fe, C`Reduced: `Mn`B. Oxidised: `Fe` Reduced: `Mn`C. Reduced: `Fe, Mn` Oxidised: `C`D. Reduced: `C` Oxidised: `Mn, Fe`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`Fe` and carbon in `FeC_(2)O_(4)` are oxidised
`{:(Fe^(2+)rarrFe^(3+)+e,,,,),((C^(2+))_(2)rarr2C^(4+)+2e,,,,):}`
`Mn` in `KMnO_(4)` is reduced.
`5e+Mn^(7+)rarrMn^(2+)`

The equivalent weight of `FeC_(2)O_(4)` in the change `FeC_(2)O_(4)rarrFe^(3+)+CO_(2)` isA. `M//3`B. `M//6`C. `M//2`D. `M//1`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`{:(Fe^(2+)rarrFe^(3^(+))+e^(-),,,,),(C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)rarr2CO_(2)+2e^(-),,,,):}]n=3`
Equivalent weight of `FeC_(2)O_(4)=(M)/(3)`

A `1 g` sample of `Fe_(2)O_(3)` solid of `55.2%` purity is dissolved in acid and reduced by heating the solution with zinc dust. The resultant solution is cooled and made upto `100 mL`. An aliquot of `25 mL` of this solution requires `17 mL` of `0.0167M` solution of an oxidant for titration. Calculate no.of electrons taken up by oxidant in the above titration.

Answer» Correct Answer - 6
100.

A sample consisting fo chocolate-brown powder of `PbO_(2)` is allowed to react with excess of KI and iodine liberated is reacted with `N_(2)H_(4)` in another container. The volume of `N_(2)` gas liberated from this second container at STP was measured out to be 1.135 litre. Find the volume (in L) of decimolar NaOH solution required to dissolved `PbO_(2)` completely and convert it to `Na_(2)PbO_(3)`. (Assume all reactions are 100% complete).
