A halogen which is used in the preparation of TEL, an antiknock compound in petroleum isA. `F_2`B. `Cl_2`C. `Br_2`D. `I_2`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`C_2H_6+Br_2 to C_2H_5 Br +HBr`
` 4C_2H_5Br + 4NaPbto (C_2H_5)_4Pb (TEL) + 4NaBr + 3Pb`
202.

Which of the following bonds is the strongest ? .A. F-FB. Cl-ClC. I-ID. Br-Br.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
B.E. of Cl-Cl bond is more than F-F bond. The unexpected less B.E. of F-F bond is due to repulsions between the lone pairs of electrons on two F atoms
203.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`NH_3 + 3Cl_2 ("excess") to NCl_3 +3HCl`
204.

206.

Which of the following is not a peroxy acid?A. Perphosphoric acidB. Pernitric acidC. Perdisulphuric acidD. Perchloric acid.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Perchloric acid `(HClO_4)` does not contain a peroxide bond.
207.

Which of the following elements is extracted commercially by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of its compound ?A. NaB. AC. BrD. Cl

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Chlorine is extracted by the electrolysis of aqueous NaCl.
208.

Which of the following hydrogen halides possess hydrogen bonding and also is a liquid at room temperature ?A. HClB. HBrC. HFD. HI

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Due to smaller size and high electronegativity of `F_2`, HF forms hydrogen bond and hence is liquid at room temperature.
209.

Which of the following halides is not oxidised by `M no_2` ?A. `F^-`B. `CI^-`C. `Br^(-)`D. `I^-`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Fluorine is the strongest oxidising agent do it oxidises other and itself cannot be oxidised.
210.

Which of the following hydrogen halide has the highest boiling point?A. HFB. HClC. HBrD. HI

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Despite the lowest molecular mass, boiling point of HF is highest. This is due to extensive H- bonding in HF, which exists even in liquid state.
211.

Identify the false statement about bleaching powderA. Amount of `Cl_2` liberated when it is treated with excess of dilute acid is known a available chlorine.B. Bleaching powder is priced according to it crystal sizeC. Good quality bleaching powder contains 35-38% available chlorine.D. When stored for longer periods it change as it changes to calcium chlorate and calcium chloride (A oxidation).

Answer» Correct Answer - B
All the other three are correct statements Reaction for statement (D) is `6CaOCl_2 to Ca(ClO_3)_2 + 5CaCl_2`
212.

Which of the following is reduced most readily?A. IodineB. ChlorineC. FluorineD. Bromine
