55
Q
A

Dioxygen can be obtained in the laboratory by the following ways:

56
Q
A

On large scale it can be prepared from water or air. Electrolysis of
water leads to the release of hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen
at the anode.

57
Q
A

Industrially, dioxygen is obtained from air by first removing carbon
dioxide and water vapour and then, the remaining gases are liquefied
and fractionally distilled to give dinitrogen and dioxygen.

58
Q
A

oxygen is used in oxyacetylene welding,

59
Q
A

some metals in high oxidation state also have acidic character (e.g.,
Mn2O, CrO3, V2O5).

60
Q
A

are CO, NO and N2O

61
Q
A

When a slow dry stream of oxygen is passed through a silent electrical
discharge, conversion of oxygen to ozone (10%) occurs. The product is
known as ozonised oxygen.

62
Q
A

Since the formation of ozone from oxygen is an endothermic process,
it is necessary to use a silent electrical discharge in its preparation to
prevent its decomposition

63
Q
A

If concentrations of ozone greater than 10 per cent are required, a
battery of ozonisers can be used, and pure ozone (b.p. 101.1K) can be
condensed in a vessel surrounded by liquid oxygen.

64
Q
A

if the concentration rises above about 100 parts per million,
breathing becomes uncomfortable resulting in headache and nausea.

65
Q
A

Due to the ease with which it liberates atoms of nascent oxygen
(O3 → O2 + O), it acts as a powerful oxidising agent. For example, it
oxidises lead sulphide to lead sulphate and iodide ions to iodine.
PbS(s) + 4O3(g) → PbSO4(s) + 4O2(g)
2I–(aq) + H2O(l) + O3(g) → 2OH–(aq) + I2(s) + O2(g)

66
Q
A

When ozone reacts with an excess of potassium iodide solution
buffered with a borate buffer (pH 9.2), iodine is liberated which can be
titrated against a standard solution of sodium thiosulphate. This is a
quantitative method for estimating O3 gas.

67
Q
A

nitrogen oxides (particularly nitric
oxide) combine very rapidly with ozone and there is, thus, the possibility
that nitrogen oxides emitted from the exhaust systems of supersonic
jet aeroplanes might be slowly depleting the concentration of the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere.

68
Q
A

NO (g) +O3(g)–> NO2(g)+ O2( g)

69
Q
A

the molecule is angular

as expected with a bond angle of about 117o

70
Q
A

: It is used as a germicide, disinfectant and for sterilising water. It is also
used for bleaching oils, ivory, flour, starch, etc. It acts as an oxidising agent
in the manufacture of potassium permanganate.

71
Q
A

It is insoluble in water but dissolves to some

extent in benzene, alcohol and ether. It is readily soluble in CS2.

72
Q
A

Monoclinic sulphur (β-sulphur)
Its m.p. is 393 K and specific gravity 1.98. It is soluble in CS2
. This form of sulphur is prepared by melting rhombic sulphur in a dish
and cooling, till crust is formed. Two holes are made in the crust and
the remaining liquid poured out. On removing the crust, colourless
needle shaped crystals of β-sulphur are formed

73
Q
A

α-sulphur is stable below 369 K and transforms into β-sulphur above this.

74
Q
A

At 369 K both the forms are stable

75
Q
A

Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur have S8 molecules

76
Q
A

At elevated temperatures
(~1000 K), S2 is the dominant
species and is paramagnetic like O2
.

77
Q
A

In the laboratory it is readily generated by treating a sulphite with
dilute sulphuric acid.

78
Q
A

Industrially, it is produced as a by-product of the roasting of
sulphide ores.

79
Q
A

Sulphur dioxide, when passed through water, forms a solution of
sulphurous acid.

80
Q
A

Sulphur dioxide reacts with chlorine in the presence of charcoal (which acts as a catalyst) to give sulphuryl chloride, SO2Cl2
.

81
Q
A

When moist, sulphur dioxide behaves as a reducing agent
2Fe3++ SO2+ 2H2O–> 2Fe2+ SO2-4+ 4H+
5SO2+2MnO-4+ 2H2O–> 5SO2-4+ 4H++ 2Mn2+

82
Q
A

Sulphur dioxide is used (i) in refining petroleum and sugar (ii) in bleaching
wool and silk and (iii) as an anti-chlor, disinfectant and preservative. Sulphuric
acid, sodium hydrogen sulphite and calcium hydrogen sulphite (industrial
chemicals) are manufactured from sulphur dioxide. Liquid SO2
is used as a
solvent to dissolve a number of organic and inorganic chemicals.

83
Q
A

Sulphuric acid is manufactured by the Contact Process which involves
three steps:

84
Q
A

The SO2 produced is purified by removing dust and other

impurities such as arsenic compounds.

85
Q
A

The key step in the manufacture of H2SO4 is the catalytic oxidation
of SO2 with O2 to give SO3
in the presence of V2O5 (catalyst).

86
Q
A

The reaction is exothermic, reversible and the forward reaction leads
to a decrease in volume. Therefore, low temperature and high pressure are the favourable conditions for maximum yield

87
Q
A

The SO3 gas from the catalytic converter is absorbed in concentrated H2SO4 to produce oleum

Q
A

In the industry two steps are carried out simultaneously to make the process a continuous one and also to reduce the cost

90
Q
A

(a) low volatility (b) strong acidic character

(c) strong affinity for water and (d) ability to act as an oxidising agent.

91
Q
A

In aqueous solution, sulphuric acid ionises in two steps
H2SO4(aq) + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + HSO4–(aq); Ka1 = very large (Ka1>10)
HSO4–(aq) + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + SO42-(aq) ; Ka2 = 1.2 × 10–2

92
Q
A

two series of salts: normal sulphates (such as sodium
sulphate and copper sulphate) and acid sulphates (e.g., sodium
hydrogen sulphate).

93
Q
A

Sulphuric acid, because of its low volatility can be used to

manufacture more volatile acids from their corresponding salts.

94
Q
A

wet gases can be dried by passing them through sulphuric acid,
provided the gases do not react with the acid.

95
Q
A

it is evident by its charring action on

carbohydrates.

96
Q
A

Other uses are in:
(a) petroleum refining (b) manufacture of pigments, paints and dyestuff
intermediates (c) detergent industry (d) metallurgical applications (e.g.,
cleansing metals before enameling, electroplating and galvanising
(e) storage batteries (f) in the manufacture of nitrocellulose products
and (g) as a laboratory reagent.

97
Q

98
Q
A

the deposits of dried up seas

KCl.MgCl2.6H2O

99
Q
A

marine life contain iodine in their systems; various seaweeds

100
Q
A

Chile saltpetre contains upto 0.2% of sodium iodate.

101
Q
A

Bromine and iodine are only sparingly soluble in water but are soluble in various organic solvents such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulphide and hydrocarbons to give coloured solutions.

102
Q
A

A reason for this anomaly is the relatively
large electron-electron repulsion among the lone pairs in F2 molecule
where they are much closer to each other than in case of Cl2
.

103
Q
A

The reactivity of the halogens decreases

down the group.

104
Q
A

The ready acceptance of an electron is the reason for the strong
oxidising nature of halogens.

105
Q
A

Fluorine oxidises water to oxygen whereas

chlorine and bromine react with water to form corresponding hydrohalic and hypohalous acids.

106
Q
A

The reaction of iodine with water is nonspontaneous.

107
Q
A

I– can be oxidised by oxygen in acidic medium;

108
Q
A

Hydrogen fluoride is a liquid (b.p. 293 K) due to strong hydrogen bonding.

109
Q
A

Other hydrogen halides which have bigger size and less electronegativity are gases.

110
Q
A

Hydrogen halides dissolve in water to form hydrohalic

acids.

111
Q
A

The acidic strength of these acids varies in the order:

HF < HCl < HBr < HI

112
Q
A

A combination of kinetic
and thermodynamic factors lead to the generally decreasing order of
stability of oxides formed by halogens, I > Cl > Br

113
Q
A

Higher stability of oxides of iodine is due to greater polarisability of bond between iodine and oxygen

114
Q
A

The higher oxides

of halogens tend to be more stable than the lower ones.

115
Q
A

in the case of chlorine. multiple bond formation between chlorine and oxygen takes place due to availability of d-orbitals. this leads to increase in stability.

116
Q

Whats LCAO

A

it means the linear combination of two orbitals! the interference can happen in two ways! if it’s constructive interference! it forms a bonding molecular orbital and if it’s destructive then it forms anti bonding molecular orbital

117
Q
A

Bromine Lacks both the characteristics hence stability of oxides of Bromine is least.

118
Q
A

I2O5 is a very good oxidising agent and is

used in the estimation of carbon monoxide

119
Q
A

The ionic character of the halides decreases in the order MF >
MCl > MBr > MI

120
Q
A

the halides in higher oxidation

their salts.

125
Q
A 
In general, interhalogen compounds are more reactive
than halogens (except fluorine).
126
