XI: Hydrogen Flashcards
During electrolysis of water, on which electrode is hydrogen liberated?
Cathode
CuO + H2———>
Cu + H2O
In what form do alkali metals exist in their aqueous solution?
Hexahydrated ions
WHat is the atomicity of hydrogen?
2
During electrolysis of sodium hydride, on which electrode is hydrogen liberated?
Anode
Which element is known as rogue element?
Hydrogen
Is the rate of protium containing compounds faster than the rate of deuterium containing compounds
Yes
WHich has higher melting point- dihydrogen, deuterium?
Deuterium
WHich has higher boiling point- dihydrogen, deuterium?
Deuterium
Which has higher enthalpy of fusion- dihydrogen or deuterium?
Deuterium
Which has higher bond enthalpy- dihydrogen or deuterium?
Deuterium
What is the isotopic mixture of proton and deutron with respect to their natural abundance called
Hydron
Why is amalgam of reactive metals used to produce hydrogen from water in place of the metal itself?
Reaction of pure reactive metals is very vigorous, amalgam of such metals is used to slow down the reaction
Lane’s process is used for the manufacturing of
Dihydrogen
How is dihydrogen produced by lane’s process?
By reaction of water with iron
How is carbon dioxide separated from hydrogen in syngas in Bosch’s process?
CO2 can be dissolved in water and hydrogen can escape, or CO2 can be removed by scrubbing the mixture with sodium arsenite. (Water gas shift reaction)
What is the order of reactivity of hydrogen with halogen?
F2 > Cl2 > Br2 >I2
What is the difference between ortho and para hydrogen?
Ortho hydrogen- if spins of the 2 nucleus of hydrogen are in same direction
Para hydrogen- if spins of the 2 nucleus of hydrogen are in opposite direction
Which type of isomer (ortho or para) does ordinary hydrogen contain in greater quantities?
Ortho
At low temperature, which type of isomer (ortho or para) does hydrogen contain in greater quantities?
Para
Can pure ortho form of hydrogen be obtained?
No
Can pure para form of hydrogen be obtained?
Yes, at low temperatures
What are hydrides?
Binary compounds of hydrogen with other elements
What are saline hydrides?
Ionic hydrides (with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals)
Do saline hydrides have higher density than the metals they are formed from?
Yes
