31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 21

A solid compound ‘X’ on heating gives CO2 gas and a residue. The residue mixed with water forms ‘Y’. On passing an excess of CO2 through ‘Y’ in water, a clear solution ‘Z’, is obtained. On boiling ‘Z’, a compound ‘X’ is reformed. The compound ‘X’ is[2004]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 21

The given properties coincide with CaCO3

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 22

The correct order of the mobility of the alkali metal ions in aqueous solutions is [2006]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 22

Hydration enthalpies of alkali metal ions decreases with the increase in ionic radii as we move down the group.

Therefore, smaller is the mass of hydrated species higher is the ionic mobility in the aqueous solution.

Thus, the order for ionic mobility of ions is

Rb+ > K+ > Na+ > Li+

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 23

The correct order of increasing thermal stability of K2CO3, MgCO3, CaCO3 and BeCO3 is[2007]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 23

As the basicity of metal hydroxides increases down the group from Be to Ba, the thermal stability of their carbonates also increases in the same order. Further group 1 compounds are more thermally stable than group 2 because their hydroxide are much basic than group 2 hydroxides therefore, the order of thermal stability is BeCO3 < MgCO3< CaCO3< K2CO3.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 24

In which of the following the hydration energy is higher than the lattice energy? [2007]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 24

The solubility of sulphates of alkaline earth metals decreases as we move down the group from Be to Ba due to the reason that ionic size increases down the group. The lattice energy remains constant because sulphate  ion is so large, so that small change in cationic sizes do not make any difference.
Thus the order:

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 25

The sequence of ioinic mobility in aqueous solution is : [2008]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 25

Smaller the ion more is its ionic mobility in aqueous solution. Ionic radii of the given alkali metals is in the order Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < Cs+ and thus expected ionic mobility will be in the order Cs+ < Rb+ < K+ < Na+. However due to high degree of solvation (or hydration) because of lower size or high charge density, the hydrated ion size follows the order Cs+ < Rb+ < K+ < Na+ and thus conductivity order is Cs> Rb+ > K+ > Na+ i.e. option (b) is correct answer.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 26

The alkali metals form salt-like hydrides by the direct synthesis at elevated temperature. The thermal stability of these hydrides decreases in which of the following orders ? [2008]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 26

The stability of alkali metal hydrides decreases from Li to Cs. It is due to the  fact that M–H bonds becomes weaker with increase in size of alkali metals as we move down the group from Li to Cs. Thus the order of stability of hydrides is LiH > NaH > KH > RbH > CsH i.e. option (d) is correct answer.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 27

Which of the following oxides is not expected to react with sodium hydroxide? [2009]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 27

NaOH is a strong alkali. It combines with acidic and amphoteric oxides to form salts.
Since CaO is a basic oxide hence does not reacts with NaOH.

Which of the following alkaline earth metal sulphates has hydration enthalpy higher than the lattice enthalpy? [2010]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: The s-Block Elements (Old NCERT) - Question 28
