PYQ

Which reaction is NOT a redox reaction?

[NEET 2024]

a

\(BaC{l}_{2}+N{a}_{2}S{O}_{4}\to BaS{O}_{4}+2NaCl\)

b

\(Zn+CuS{O}_{4}\to ZnS{O}_{4}+Cu\)

c

\(2KCl{O}_{3}+{I}_{2}\to 2KI{O}_{3}+C{l}_{2}\)

d

\({H}_{2}+C{l}_{2}\to 2HCl\)

✓ Correct answer: a)

\(BaC{l}_{2}+N{a}_{2}S{O}_{4}\to BaS{O}_{4}+2NaCl\)

Explanation

BaCl₂ + Na₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2NaCl is a double displacement reaction with no change in oxidation states, so it is not a redox reaction. In the other options, there is a clear change in oxidation numbers indicating redox processes.

PYQ

During the preparation of Mohr's salt solution (Ferrous ammonium sulphate), which of the following acid is added to prevent hydrolysis of \(F{e}^{2+}\) ion?

[NEET 2024]

a

dilute sulphuric acid

b

dilute hydrochloric acid

c

concentrated sulphuric acid

d

dilute nitric acid

✓ Correct answer: a)

dilute sulphuric acid

Explanation

Mohr’s salt (ferrous ammonium sulphate) is commonly dissolved in slightly acidic solution (using dilute H₂SO₄) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis of Fe²⁺ ions. The acidic medium suppresses Fe²⁺→Fe³⁺ conversion and formation of insoluble iron hydroxides, ensuring the stable, clear solution of Mohr’s salt.
