Questions Related to substances in common use

Available chlorine can be liberated from bleaching powder by the reaction with:

chemistry substances in common use chemical from common salt compounds of carbon some useful compounds in everyday life

  1. $conc.H _{2}SO _{4}$

  2. $dil. H _{2}SO _{4}$

  3. $CO _{2}$

  4. $dil. HNO _{3}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B,C,D
Explanation:

Available chlorine in bleaching powder is the amount of chlorine liberated by the action of dilute acids on bleaching powder.

On long standing, bleaching powder undergoes auto oxidation.

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

On long standing, bleaching powder undergoes auto-oxidation which results in the formation of calcium chloride and calcium chlorate.


$6 CaOCl _2 \rightarrow5CaCl _2   + 6 Ca(ClO3) _2 $

Hence, the given statement is $true$

Substance $X$:
(I) reacts with $H _2S$ to produce white turbidity.
(II) changes light green solution of $FeSO _4$ into yellow colour.
(III) reacts with moisture to give pungent smelling gas.
Hence $X$ is:

chemistry substances in common use chemical from common salt compounds of carbon some useful compounds in everyday life

  1. $KMnO _4$

  2. $K _2Cr _2O _7$

  3. $SO _2$

  4. $CaOCl _2$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$CaOCl _2+H _2O\rightarrow Ca(OH) _2+\underset {(\text {Pungent smelling gas})}{Cl _2}\uparrow$
$H _2S+Cl _2\rightarrow 2HCl+\underset {(\text {White turbidity})}{S}$
$\underset {(\text {Light green})}{2FeSO _4}+H _2SO _4+Cl _2\rightarrow Fe _2(SO _4) _3+2HCl$

The bleaching property of chlorine water is due to:

chemistry substances in common use chemical from common salt compounds of carbon some useful compounds in everyday life

  1. formation of nascent oxygen

  2. formation of nascent chlorine

  3. formation of ${O} _{3}$

  4. reducing property of ${Cl} _{2}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
${ Cl } _{ 2 }+{ H } _{ 2 }O\rightarrow HCl+HOCl\rightarrow 2HCl+\left[ 0 \right] $
$\left[ 0 \right] $-Nascent oxygen
Chlorine water act as strong oxidizing agent because of nascent oxygen produced in water.
