In which of the following reactions of hydrogen peroxide acts as an oxidizing agent (either in acidic, alkaline, or neutral medium)?
(i) \(2F{e}^{+2}+{H}_{2}{O}_{2}\to\)
(ii) \(2{\mathrm{MnO}}_{4}^{-}+6{\mathrm{H}}^{+}+5{\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}\to\)
(iii) \({I}_{2}+{H}_{2}{O}_{2}+2O{H}^{-}\to\)
(iv) \(M{n}^{+2}+{H}_{2}{O}_{2}\to\)
(i), (iv)
In reactions (i) and (iv), H₂O₂ acts as an oxidizing agent:
- (i) Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺
- (iv) Mn2+→ Mn7+
Thus, correct answer: (B) (i), (iv).
Given below are two statements :
Statement-I : Methane and steam passed over a heated Ni catalyst produces hydrogen gas.
Statement-II : Sodium nitrite reacts with \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl}\) to give \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{N}_2\) and \(\mathrm{NaCl}\).
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
[JEE Main 2023, 11 Apr (Shift 1)]
Both the statements I and II are correct
\(C{H}_{4}(g)+{H}_{2}O(g)\overset{Ni\text{-catalyst }}{\underset{\Delta }{\to }}\underset{\text{(water gas) }}{\underset{⏟}{CO(g)+3{H}_{2}(g)}}\)
\(NaN{O}_{2}(aq)+N{H}_{4}Cl(aq)⟶NaC{l}_{(aq)}+N{H}_{4}N{O}_{2}\)
\(N{H}_{4}N{O}_{2}⟶{N}_{2}(g)+2{H}_{2}O(ℓ)\)
Statements about heavy water are given below:
(A) Heavy water is used in exchange reactions for the study of reaction mechanisms.
(B) Heavy water is prepared by exhaustive electrolysis of water
(C) Heavy water has higher boiling point than ordinary water.
(D) Viscosity of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) is greater than \(\mathrm{D}_{2} \mathrm{O}\).
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
[JEE Main 2021, 26 Feb (Shift 1)]
(A), (B) and (C) only
(b) Heavy water \(\left(\mathrm{D}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)\) is used in organic reaction to know about the kinetics of reaction.
Heavy water \(\mathrm{D}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) is obtained by carried out repeated electrolysis of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\).
Heavy water has b.p \(101.4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) while ordinary water has b.p \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
\(\mathrm{D}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) has more molecular mass as compared \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\), hence greater degree of association and as a result has greater b.p and viscosity.
Among the following, the correct statements are:
I. LiH, Be\({H}_{2}\) and Mg\({H}_{2}\) are saline hydrides with significant covalent character
II. Saline hydrides are volatile
III. Electron - precise hydrides are Lewis bases
IV. The formula for chromium hydride is CrH
I, IV only
Saline hydrides are not volatile as the strong ionic bonds keep the constituent ions together. Thus, statement II is incorrect. Electron-precise hydrides like \(C\)\({H}_{4}\), \(Si{H}_{4}\), act as pH - neutral species. Thus, statement 3 is incorrect.
Among the following, the correct statements are:
I. LiH, Be\({H}_{2}\) and Mg\({H}_{2}\) are saline hydrides with significant covalent character
II. Saline hydrides are volatile
III. Electron - precise hydrides are Lewis bases
IV. The formula for chromium hydride is CrH
