Multiple choice aluminium patterns and properties of metals chemistry

Which of the statement about aluminium is not correct?

  1. It liberates hydrogen from acid as well as alkalies

  2. It liberates hydrogen from acid but not from alkalies

  3. It liberates hydrogen from hot alkali solution

  4. It liberates hydrogen from boiling water

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

Solution:- (B) It liberates hydrogen from acid but not from alkalies

Aluminium is an amphoteric metal and hence it reacts with both acids as well as bases.
Reaction of $Al$ with acid-
$2 Al + HCl \longrightarrow 2 Al{Cl} _{3} + 3 {H} _{2}$
Reaction of $Al$ with base-
$2 Al + 2 NaOH + 2 {H} _{2}O \longrightarrow 2 NaAl{O} _{2} + 3 {H} _{2}$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Bauxite has a number of impurities in it including iron oxides(hematite and goethite), $Fe _2O _3$ the sand silicon dioxide $SiO _2$ the clay mineral Kaolinite and asmall amount of $TiO _2$ known as Anatase.

Hence option A is correct answer.

In the purification of $Al$ by Hoop's process the correct statement is 

  1. electrolytic cell is iron and it contains three layer mass

  2. upper layer is pure $Al$ and Carbon rods in it are cathode and the bottom layer contains impure $Al$ and carbon lining of the cell is anode
  3. Electrolyte is the middle layer with fused mixture of flouride.

  4. All of the above

D Correct answer
Explanation

Hoop's process for aluminum purification uses a three-layer electrolytic cell. The bottom layer is impure aluminum (anode), the middle is a fused fluoride electrolyte, and the top is pure aluminum (cathode).

In thermite welding, aluminium acts as a/an:

  1. solder

  2. flux

  3. oxidising agent

  4. reducing agent

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

In thermite welding, aluminium acts as reducing agent. Aluminium is used in thermite welding of broken iron parts. The reduction of ferric oxide by aluminium is highly exothermic and therefore, the iron formed will be in the molten state. Thermite reaction involving aluminium is also called Goldschmidt alumino thermic reaction.

Read the following statements and choose the correct alternative.
Statement I :  Aluminium fool cannot bebe used in $\alpha $-particle - particle scattering experiment.
Statement II : Aluminium is a highly malleable metal.

  1. Both statement are true and statement II is a correct reason of Statement I.

  2. Both statement are true and statement II is a not correct reason of Statement I.

  3. Statement I is true and statement II is false

  4. Statement II is true and statement I is false

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
  • If Aluminium foil was used the,the scattering angles would have changed, but the qualitative results would also change: the reason Rutherford chose gold was because it is EXTREMELY malleable. One can stretch gold foil until it is only a few atoms thick in places, which is not possible with aluminum.
  • Hence option C is correct answer.

C Correct answer
Explanation

$\displaystyle   X _2O _3$ is produced if ratio of element to oxygen is 2:3 in the reaction of element and oxygen, that element is Aluminum (Al). It forms $\displaystyle   Al _2O _3$ . The valence of Al (and X)  is +3 and that of oxygen is -2.
Ca, Li, F and C have valencies +2, +1, -1 and 4 respectively.

Aluminium chloride exists as dimer, $Al _{2}Cl _{6}$ in solid state as well as in solution of non-polar solvents such as benzene. When dissolved in water, it gives:

  1. $[Al(OH) _{6}]^{3-} + 3HCl$
  2. $Al _{2}O _{3} + 6HCl$
  3. $Al^{3+} + 3Cl^{-}$
  4. $[Al(H _{2}O) _{6}]^{3+} + 3Cl^{-}$

D Correct answer
Explanation

When ${ Al } _{ 2 }{ Cl } _{ 6 }$ is dissolved in water, it is ionized to form ${ \left[ Al{ \left( { H } _{ 2 }O \right)  } _{ 6 } \right]  }^{ 3+ }$ and ${ Cl }^{ \left( - \right)  }$ due to large hydration energy of ${ Al }^{ 3+ }$.

${ Al } _{ 2 }{ Cl } _{ 6 }+12{ H } _{ 2 }O\rightleftharpoons 2{ \left[ Al{ \left( { H } _{ 2 }O \right)  } _{ 6 } \right]  }^{ 3+ }+{ 6Cl }^{ \left( - \right)  }$
