Which of the following statement is wrong? In the reaction $2KCl{ O } _{ 3 }+{ I } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 2KI{ O } _{ 3 }+{ Cl } _{ 2 }$?

  1. ${ Cl } _{ 2 }$ is more reactive than $I _{ 2 }$
  2. When $KCl{ O } _{ 3 }$ reacts with $I _{ 2 }$, ${ Cl } _{ 2 }$ is liberated
  3. $KCl{ O } _{ 3 }+{ I } _{ 2 }$ is a redox reaction and $I _{ 2 }$ is oxidized
  4. In the above reaction, $I _{ 2 }$ is reduced

D Correct answer
Explanation

the given reaction is

${ 2KClO } _{ 3 }+{ I } _{ 2 }\rightarrow { 2KIO } _{ 3 }+{ Cl } _{ 2 }$
in reactant,oxidation state of iodine in ${ I } _{ 2 }=0$
in product,oxidation state of iodine in${ IO } _{ 3 }^{ - }\quad $is 3
so,oxidation state of iodine change from 0 to5,so it is oxidlsed.

For electron affinity of halogens which of the following is correct?

  1. $Br>F$
  2. $F>Cl$
  3. $Br>Cl$
  4. $F>I$

D Correct answer
Explanation

  • Electron Gain Enthalpy is the energy released when one mole of an electron is added to gaseous atoms of an element. 
  • The correct order of Electron gain enthalpy of Fluorine family is,
$Cl>F>Br>I$
The reason for this is that the size of the fluorine atom is very small. So when an electron is added in the fluorine atom it will suffer more electronegativity as all the electrons will be very close to each other and hence the electron gain enthalpy of chlorine is more negative than that of fluorine.

Chlorine has two naturally occuring isotopes $ _{ 17 }^{ 37 }{ Cl }$ and $ _{ 17 }^{ 35 }{ Cl }$ and average atomic mass of chlorine is $35.5$. The percentage of $ _{ 17 }^{ 37 }{ Cl }$ is:

  1. 25%

  2. 75%

  3. 40%

  4. 60%

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

Let x be the percentage of Cl-37. Then (100-x) is the percentage of Cl-35. The average atomic mass is (37x + 35(100-x))/100 = 35.5. Solving this gives 37x + 3500 - 35x = 3550, so 2x = 50, x = 25%.

Select the correct statement (s)

  1. HCI and HF do not from free radical easily due to larger bond-energy

  2. HI with a minimum bond energy is every reactive and instead from ${{\text{I}} _{\text{2}}}\,\,\,$
  3. Both (a) and (b)

  4. None of the above

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

Bond dissociation energy with hydrogen decreased down the group so HI is will be the most reactive . HI is more reative because the bond dissociation energy is low due to difference in size of hydrogen and iodine so it can be easily breaked.

Addition of halogen $(C{l _2} or B{r _2})$ to alkenes goes through formation of :

  1. Carbocation

  2. Carbanion

  3. Cyclic halonium ion

  4. Carbon free radical

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

The electrophilic addition of halogens to alkenes involves the formation of a cyclic halonium ion intermediate, which explains the anti-addition stereochemistry observed in these reactions.

In which of the following, oxidation number of chlorine is $ + 5 ?$

  1. $Cl _{2}O _{7}$
  2. $\mathrm { ClO } _ { 3 } ^ { - }$
  3. $\mathrm { CHO } ^ { - }$
  4. $\mathrm { ClO } _ { 4 } ^ { - }$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Oxidation number of $Cl _2O _7$:-

   $2x-14=0$
$x=7$

Oxidation number of ${ClO _3}^{-}$:-
$x-6=-1$
$x=5$
Oxidation number of $ClO^-$:-
$x-2=-1$
$x=1$
Oxidation number of ${ClO _4}^-$:-

$x-8=-1$
$x=7$
hence option B is correct.

Compare oxygen and flourine in Ionic radius$\quad O^{2-} , F^-$:

  1. $\space O^{2-} = F^-$
  2. $\space O^{2-} < F^-$
  3. $\space O^{2-}> F^-$
  4. $\space O^{2-} \geq F^-$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Among the elements of same period the ion with more number of electrons and less number of protons is having more radius.If the number of electrons are same the ion with less number of protons is having more radius.

Here $\quad O^{2-} $and $ F^-$ both are having same 10 electrons but oxygen is having 8 protons(which can atrract outer electrons with less force than florine) and florine is having 9 protons.So the ionic radius of $\space O^{2-}>  F^-$

Hence option C is correct.

Oxidation of hydrogen halide, HX affords a method for the industrial and laboratory preparation of the halogen, $X _2$, in the free state in respect of all of the following except :

  1. fluorine.

  2. chlorine.

  3. bromine.

  4. iodine.

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

Due to higher electronegativity, HF doesn't follow such reaction and fluorine doesn't form.
