Identify the gas that would form when hydrobromic acid is combined with nickel (II) sulfide.

  1. $NiBr _{2}$
  2. $H _{2}S$
  3. $HBr$
  4. $NiS$

B Correct answer
Explanation

The gas that would form when hydrobromic acid is combined with nickel (II) sulfide is $H _2S$

$2 HBr(aq) + NiS(s)\rightarrow H _2S + NiBr _2$.
Hence option B is correct.

Which of the following is most acidic?

  1. $HClO$
  2. $HClO _2$
  3. $HClO _3$
  4. $HClO _4$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

As the oxidation number of chlorine(non metal) increases in the given acids the acidic nature of the compound increases. So the oxidation numbers of chlorine in the given compounds are $+1,+3,5,+7$ respectively.

So the acidic nature of $HClO _4$ is high.
Hence option D is correct.

Fluorine is stronger oxidising agent than chlorine in water. The factor which is not responsible for that:

  1. Heat of dissociation

  2. e-affinity

  3. Heat of hydration

  4. Ionisation potential
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Affinity do not have any relation with the efficiency of oxidizing ability.

Hence option A is correct.

Which of the following reactions are not possible?

  1. $2NaCl+F _2$ $\longrightarrow \ $ $2NaF+Cl _2$
  2. $2NaCl+Br _2$ $\longrightarrow \ $ $2NaBr+Cl _2$
  3. $2NaF+Cl _2$ $\longrightarrow \ $ $2NaCl+F _2$
  4. $2NaBr+Cl _2$ $\longrightarrow \ $ $2NaCl+Br _2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B,C Correct answer
Explanation

Option B and C reactions are not possible because the bromine do not displace chlorine and chlorine do not displace florine as chlorine and florine are most stable than bromine and chorine in their compounds respectively.

Hence option B,C are correct.

Iodine is oxidised by fuming nitric acid. The major product formed is:

  1. $HI$
  2. $HIO _2$
  3. $HIO _3$
  4. $HIO _4$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Reaction of iodine with fuming nitric acid is given by 

${ I } _{ 2 }+{ 10HNO } _{ 3 }\longrightarrow { 2HIO } _{ 3 }+{ 10NO } _{ 2 }+{ 4H } _{ 2 }O$.
So, the major product formed will be ${ HIO } _{ 3 }$.
So, correct answer is option $C$.

Which one of the following orders is not in accord with the property stated against it?

  1. $F _{2} > Cl _{2} > Br _{2}> I _{2}$ ; Oxidising power
  2. $HI > HBr > HCl > HF$ ; Acidic property in water
  3. $F _{2} > Cl _{2}> Br _{2} > I _{2}$; Electronegativity
  4. $F _{2}> Cl _{2} > Br _{2} > I _{2}$ ; Bond dissociation energy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The bond dissociation energies of $I _2$, $Br _2$ and $Cl _2$ increase in the following order:

$I _2$ < $Br _2$ < $Cl _2$ 

In case of $F _2$, the bond dissociation energy is lower than that of $Cl _2$ and $Br _2$ because of the existence of strong inter-electronic repulsions owing to its small size. The overall trend of bond dissociation energies is thus as follows:
$I _2$ < $F _2$ < $Br _2$ < $Cl _2$

Which of the following compounds is used as a sedative (sleep-inducing substance)?

  1. Sodium Chloride

  2. Potassium bromide

  3. Calcium Chloride

  4. Phosphorous trichloride
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Potassium bromide ($KBr$) is a salt, widely used as an anticonvulsant and a sedative in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Its action is due to the bromide ion (sodium bromide is equally effective).
Hence option B is correct answer.
