$MCrO _{4(s)}\overset{CH _{3}COOH(aq)}{\rightarrow}MCrO _{4}$  ( Suspension) above change is correct for which metal ion (s) ? 

  1. $Ba^{2+},Sr^{2+},Ca^{2+}$
  2. $Ba^{2+},Sr^{2+}$
  3. Only $Ba^{2+}$
  4. $Sr^{2+},Ca^{2+}$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Barium chromate (BaCrO4) is insoluble in water but dissolves in acidic solutions like acetic acid due to the formation of the dichromate ion. Strontium and calcium chromates are more soluble and do not behave as suspensions in the same way.

$Sr^{2+}$ forms a very unstable complex with $NO _{3-}$. A solution that was $0.001 M - Sr(ClO _{4}) _{2}$ and $0.05 M - KNO _{3}$ was found to have only $75$% of its strontium in the uncomplexed $Sr^{2+}$ form, the balance being $Sr(NO _{3})^{+}$. What is $K _{f}$ for complexation?

  1. $6.67$
  2. $0.15$
  3. $60$
  4. $26.67$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Given 25% complexation (0.00025 M) and 75% free Sr2+ (0.00075 M), with [NO3-] = 0.05 M, Kf = [Sr(NO3)+] / ([Sr2+][NO3-]) = 0.00025 / (0.00075 * 0.05) = 0.00025 / 0.0000375 = 6.666...

$KO _2$ (potassium superoxide) is used in oxygen cylinders in space and submarines because, it : 

  1. decomposes to give oxygen

  2. eliminates moisture

  3. absorbs $CO _2$
  4. produces ozone

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,C Correct answer
Explanation

$KO _2$ on decomposition give oxygen and pottassium carbonate.The oxygen is used in oxygen cylinders in space and submarines
$2CO _2+4KO _2\rightarrow 3O _2+2K _2CO _3$.
Hence option A is correct.

In the reaction : $K _4[Fe(CN) _6] + K _2CO _3\rightarrow $ the product formed is :

  1. $FeCO _3$
  2. $KCN$
  3. $KFeCO _3$
  4. $K _3 [Fe(CN) _6]$

B Correct answer
Explanation

$K _4Fe(CN) _6+K _2CO _3\rightarrow 5KCN+KCNO+Fe+CO _2$.

In the above reaction only KCN is formed.

Hence, option B is correct.
