$NaCl + H _2SO _4\overset{\Delta}{\longrightarrow}HCl \ +$

  1. $NaHSO _4$
  2. $Na _2SO4$
  3. $Na _2SO _3$
  4. none of the above

A Correct answer
Explanation

Reacting sodium chloride and sulphuric acid at elevated temperature leads to production of sodium bisulphate and hydrogen chloride. Little amount of sodium sulphate is also formed which reacts with the sulphuric acid to yield sodium bisulphate or sodium hydrogen sulphate.

Identify the correct representation of reaction occurring during chloro-alkali process. 

  1. $2NaCl(l)+ 2H _2O(l) \rightarrow 2NaOH(l) + Cl _2(g) + H _2(g)$
  2. $2NaCl(s)+ 2H _2O(aq) \rightarrow 2NaOH(aq) + Cl _2(g) + H _2(g)$
  3. $2NaCl(aq)+ 2H _2O(l) \rightarrow 2NaOH(aq) + Cl _2(aq) + H _2(aq)$
  4. $2NaCl(aq)+ 2H _2O(l) \rightarrow 2NaOH(aq) + Cl _2(g) + H _2(g)$

D Correct answer
Explanation

Chloro-alkali process is an industrial process for the electrolysis of sodium chloride. It is used to produce chlorine and sodium hydroxide. Aqueous sodium chloride or brine ina membrane cell.


At cathode: ${ 2H } _{ 2 }O+2{ e }^{ - }\rightarrow { H } _{ 2 }+{ 2OH }^{ - }$ 

At anode: $2{ Cl }^{ - }\rightarrow { Cl } _{ 2 }+2{ e }^{ - }$ 


$2NaCl(aq)+2{ H } _{ 2 }O\rightarrow { Cl } _{ 2 }(g)+{ H } _{ 2 }(g)+2NaOH(aq)$


Option $(D)$ suggests the correct reaction.

A Correct answer
Explanation
Addition of large quantity of Iron salt will coagulate blood. A trivalent iron (ferric ions) generates hydroxyl radicals, which subsequently form soluble plasma fibrinogen (FBG) into an insoluble fibrin clot.

What are the products formed when an aqueous solution of magnesium bicarbonate is boiled?

  1. $MgCO _3,\, H _2O,\, CO _2$
  2. $Mg(HCO _3) _2,\, H _2O$
  3. $Mg(OH) _2,\, H _2O$
  4. $Mg,\, CO _2,\, H _2O$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

When magnesium bicarbonate is boiled $MgCO _3, H _2O$ and $CO _2$ are formed. A small amount of $Mg(OH) _2$ is also formed.

Reaction: $Mg(HCO _ 3) _2\xrightarrow[\Delta]{} MgCO _ 3+H _ 2O+CO _ 2+Mg(OH) _ 2$

Which of the following salts on heating gives a mixture of two gases?

  1. $Ba(NO _3) _2$
  2. $NaNO _3$
  3. $KNO _3$
  4. $RbNO _3$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$(A)$  $Ba(NO _3) _2$


$Reason$ :  The elements in the group 2 includes beryllium($Be$), magnesium($Mg$), calcium($Ca$), strontium($Sr$), barium($Ba$) and radium($Ra$).
The group 2 nitrates, on heating, gives metal oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas.
For example - $2Ba(NO _3) _2(s)$ $\rightarrow$ $2BaO(s)$ + $4NO _2(g)$ + $O _2(g)$
Group 2 nitrates also become more thermally stable down the group.
