QUESTION: 9

HBr and HI reduce sulphuric acid, HCl can reduce KMnO4 and HF can reduce
Solution:

HI and HBr (in that order) are the strongest reducing hydracids and hence they reduce H2SO4. HCl is quite stable and hence is oxidised by strong oxidising agent like KMnO4. HF is not a reducing agent. In the smallest F– ion, the electron which is to be removed during oxidation is closest to the nucleus and therefore most difficult to be removed. Therefore, HF is a poor reducing agent.

QUESTION: 10

Which of the following statements about anhydrous aluminium chloride is correct?
Solution:

AlCl3 exists as a dimer (Al2Cl6). It is a strong Lewis acid as it has an incomplete octet and has a tendency to gain electrons. AlCl3 undergoes hydrolysis easily and forms an acidic solution.
AlCl3 + 3H2O → Al(OH)3 + 3HCl

QUESTION: 33

In compounds of type ECl3, where E = B, P, As or Bi, the angles Cl – E– Cl for different E are in the order
Solution:

In BCl3, H = 1/2 (3 + 3 + 0 - 0) = 3 ; sp2 hybridization (bond angle = 120°) similarly PCl3 AsCl3 and BiCl3 are found to have sp3 hybridized central atom with one lone pair of electrons on the central atom. The bond angle < 109°28', since the central atoms belong to the same group, the bond angle of the chlorides decreases as we go down the group. Thus the order of bond angle is,  BCl3 > PCl3 > AsCl3 > BiCl3.

Solution:

QUESTION: 39

For H3PO3 and H3PO4 the correct choice is:
Solution:

The structure of H3PO3 is as follows: There are only two –OH groups and hence dibasic. The oxidation number of P in this acid is +3. Whereas P can have +5 oxidation state also. Therefore, H3PO3 can be oxidised which means H3PO3 is a reducing agent.

QUESTION: 40

H3BO3 is:
Solution:

The central boron atom in boric acid, H3BO3 is electrondeficient.
NOTE : Boric acid is a Lewis acid with one p–orbital vacant. There is no d-orbital of suitable energy in boron atom. So, it can accommodate only one additional electron pair in its outermost shell.

QUESTION: 41

(Me)2SiCl2 on hydrolysis will produce
Solution:

TIPS/FORMULAE :
It appears at the first sight that Me2SiCl2 on hydrolysis will produce Me2Si(OH)2 which ultimately upon loss of water, will form Me2Si = O.
But silicon atom, because of its very large size in comparison to oxygen, is unable to form π-bond. Thus, the product of hydrolysis is polymeric in nature.
