B Correct answer
Explanation

H2SO4 is used in lead batteries (A-5). Hypo is an antichlor (B-1). O3 + C2N2 is a rocket fuel (C-4). Moist SO2 bleaches by reduction (D-2).

State True or False.
Major sulphur dioxides production is through natural sources. 

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The given statement is False.
 Major sulphur dioxides production is through following chemical processes
(1) By burning sulphur
$\displaystyle S+O _2 \rightarrow SO _2 \uparrow$
(2) By roasting zinc blende or iron pyrites.
$\displaystyle 2ZnS + 3O _2  \rightarrow 2ZnO+2SO _2 \uparrow$
$\displaystyle 4FeS _2+11O _2  \rightarrow 2Fe _2O _3+8SO _2 \uparrow $
(3) By heating anhydrite (calcium sulphate), obtained from gypsum with arbon above 1000 deg C.
$\displaystyle 2CaSO _4+C \rightarrow 2CaO+2SO _2 \uparrow+CO _2$

Sinks can _____ excess amount of sulphur dioxide.

  1. Produce

  2. Breakdown

  3. Absorb

  4. Melt
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Sources of $SO _2$ include fossil fuel combustion by industry, biomass burning, volcanic release and the oxidation of dimethylsulphide (DMS) from the oceans. Major SO2 sinks are oxidation by OH and deposition onto wet surfaces. Sinks are the areas that can absorb excess amounts thus reducing its abundance in the environment.

High concentration of $SO _2$ leads to stiffness of flower buds.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$SO _2$ is particularly poisonous to trees causing chlorosis and dwarfing. High concentration of $SO _2$ leads to stiffness of flower buds which then eventually fall off. Sulphur oxides $(SO _x)$ and sulphuric acid $(H _2SO _4)$ are related with the damage and destruction of vegetation, soil deterioration, construction material and watercourses.

Multiple choice chemistry nitrogen and sulfur sulfur and its oxides acid deposition natural resources- air, water and land

Select the correct statement (S).

  1. p- chlorometaxylenol and dichlorometaxylenol are antibacterials and deodorants

  2. BHT and BHA are food antioxidants
  3. $SO _2$ and $SO _3^{-2}$ are antioxidants for wine and beers

  4. All of the above are correct statements
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
(A) p-chlorometaxylenol & dichlorometaxylenol are antibacterials & deodrants as they are most effective against gram positive bacteris.
(B) BHA & BHT are antioxidants as oxygen reacts preferentially with BHA or BHT rather than oxidising fats or oils thereby protecting them from spoilage.
(C) $SO _{2} $ & $ SO _{3}^{2-}$ are used as preservative because of antioxidative & antimicrobial properties.

Which of the following acts as pickling agent?

  1. $\displaystyle\;HNO _3$
  2. $\displaystyle\;HCl$
  3. $\displaystyle\;H _2SO _4$
  4. $\displaystyle\;HNO _2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Pickling is a metal surface treatment i.e; used to remove impurities such as strains, inorganic contaminants on the surface of the metal. So to remove this pickling liquor containing acid is used. 

$H _2SO _4$ is used as pickling agent because of its high oxidizing power, for which it can dissolve noble metals as well.

Multiple choice chemistry nitrogen and sulfur sulfur and its oxides acid deposition natural resources- air, water and land

$1000L$ of air at STP was dissolved in water and required $2.5\times { 10 }^{ -5 }$ moles of $KMn{ O } _{ 4 }$ for complete reaction of ${SO} _{2}$ at pollutants. Thus, ${SO} _{2}$ content in air is :

  1. $1.4ppm$
  2. $14ppm$
  3. $2.8ppm$
  4. $6.25ppm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Reaction: 5SO2 + 2MnO4- + 2H2O -> 5SO4(2-) + 2Mn(2+) + 4H+. 2 moles of MnO4- react with 5 moles of SO2. 2.5*10^-5 moles of KMnO4 react with (5/2)*2.5*10^-5 = 6.25*10^-5 moles of SO2. Volume of air = 1000 L. Moles of SO2 per L = 6.25*10^-8. At STP, 1 mole = 22.4 L. Concentration in ppm = (Volume SO2 / Volume air) * 10^6 = (6.25*10^-5 * 22.4 / 1000) * 10^6 = 1.4 ppm.

A solution of chromium oxide in concentrated sulphuric acid is used for cleaning glass in laboratories because it:

  1. Removes sand particles

  2. Oxidises grease

  3. Dissolves glass

  4. Reacts with dust
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Because a solution of chromium oxide in sulfuric acid (also known as a sulfochromic mixture or chromosulfuric acid) is a powerful oxidizing agent, it can be used to clean laboratory glassware, particularly of otherwise insoluble organic residues.They oxidize the grease present on the glass surfaces and hence thus it can be cleaned.
