# Question Ans
11.

For the reaction 2Fe3+ 2I- \(\to\) 2Fe2+ + I2, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Fe is oxidized to Fe3+

B. Fe3+ is oxidized to Fe2+

C. I- is oxidized to I2

D. I- is reduced to I2

E. I- is displacing an electron from Fe3+

C

12.

In dilute solution the heat of the reaction NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O is - 57.3kJ. Therefore the heat of the reaction 2NaOH + H2SO4 \(\to\) Na2SO4 + 2H2O is

A. + 28.65 kJ

B. - 28.65KJ

C. + 57.3KJ

D. - 114.6 KJ

E. - 229.2 KJ

Detailed Solution

NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O \(\Delta\)H = -57.3kJ

Heat of reaction of 2NaOH + H2O4

NaSO4 + H2O is

= 57.3 x 2 = -114.6 kJ
13.

Which of the following methods may be used to prepare trioxonitrate (V) acid (nitric acid) in the laboratory?

A. Heating ammonia gas with tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid

B. Heating ammonium trioxonitrate (V) with tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid

C. Heating sodium trioxonitrate (V) with tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid

A

15.

An element that can exist in two or more different structural forms which possess the same chemical properties is said to exhibit.

A. polymerism

B. isotopy

C. isomorphism

D. isomerism

E. allotrophy

Detailed Solution

Allotropy or allotropism is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms, in the same physical state, known as allotropes of these elements.
