Total Questions : 14 | Page 2 of 2 pages
Question 11. Which is more basic in aqueous solution - Ammonia or Hydrazine?
  1.    NH3
  2.    H2N−NH2
  3.    Both NH3 and H2N−NH2 are equally basic.
  4.    Neither of them are basic
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> NH3
:
A
We can look at the pKa table and see that NH3 is more stable than H2NNH2.
Question 12. In the reaction PCl3+SO3POCl3+SO2,PCl3 acts as __ agent.
 Discuss Question

:
PCl3+SO3POCl3+SO2
The theoretical oxidation state of P in PCl3is+3isn’t it? It changes to +5 in Phosphoryl chloride.
Look at the oxidation states of Sulphur in SO3 and SO2. It is respectively +6 and +4. Hence PCl3 is a reducing agent and SO3 is an oxidizing agent.
Question 13. Lead nitrate on heating (Decomposition) gives
  1.    PbO
  2.    O2
  3.    NO2
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of these
:
D
Lead Heavy metal nitrates like copper (II) Nitrate or Lead (II) Nitrate decompose on heating to give the corresponding metal (II) oxide, nitrogen dioxide gas and dioxygen gas.
Pb(NO3)2PbO+O2+NO2
Question 14. Atomic radii of group 15 elements is of the order
 
  1.    N>P>As>Bi>Sb
  2.    N>P>As>Sb>Bi
  3.    N
  4.    N
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> N
:
C
This increase in atomic radii from N to Bi is due to the corresponding increase in the highest principal quantum number for each succeeding element. Thus option C is the correct one.
