RDX 1 – CLASS XI – CHEMISTRY SOLUTIONS

1. Both K2CO3 and Na2CO3 are basic and hence both of them will react with HCl.
Note that for experiment, 20 mL sample is taken from 100 mL of the solution.
Let x = mass of Na2CO3 in the solution
Mass of K2CO3 in the solution = (1.22 – x) g
x
Now mass of Na2CO3 in 20 mL of the sample =

 
x = 0.53 g = Mass of Na2CO3 and weight of K2CO3 = 1.22 – 0.53 = 0.69 g

When 20 mL of sample is treated with BaCl2,

BaCO3 is precipitated.
BaCl2 + Na2CO3 → BaCO3 + 2NaCl
BaCl2 + K2CO3 → BaCO3 + 2KCl
Mass of Na2CO3 in 20 mL = x/5 = 0.53/5 = 0.106 g
Mass of K2CO3 in 20 mL = 0.69/5 = 0.138 g
 Moles of Na2CO3 = 0.106/106 = 1.0  10−3
Moles of K2CO3 = 0.138/138 = 1.0 x 10–3
From stoichiometry of above reactions, we have:
Moles of BaCO3 = Moles of Na2CO3 + Moles of K2CO3
= 1.0  10−3 + 1.0  10 −3
= 2.0  10 −3
 Mass of BaCO3 = (2.0  10−3 )  197.4 = 0.395 g

2. The oxidation state of Rb and K is +1 (first group element)

4. Incorrect statement. Zero group elements are diamagnetic because of the presence of paired electrons.

% in original clay]  40 19 100 – (40 + 19) = 41
% after partial drying]  a 10 100 – (a + 10) = 90 - a
On heating, only water evaporates from clay, whereas silica and impurities are left as it it. Therefore, % ratio of
silica and impurities remains unchanged, i.e.,
40 41
= , a = 44.4%
a 90 − a
% of mipurities after partial drying = (90 – a) = (90 – 44.4) = 45.6%
Mass of H2O evaporated = (19 – 10) = 9 g

(C) LiCl has a lower melting point than NaCl because it is covalent whereas NaCl is ionic.

8. (A) Dipole moment depends on the order of electronegativity of the central atom. The electronegativity order is
F > Cl > Br > I but dipole moment in CH 3F is less than CH3Cl because bond length is shorter in CH 3F. Thus,
correct order is CH3Cl > CH3F > CH3Br > CH3I
(C) In B2H6 and Al2Cl6, the vacant orbital participates in hybridisation. The vacant orbital of boron participates in
a 3 centered 2 electron bond. In Al2Cl6, Cl– donates a pair of electrons to the vacant orbital of Al.
(D) I3+ has bent structure because central I atom is bonded to two I-atom and has two lone pairs.

9. (B) The value of Debye unit of dipole moment in CGS units is 10–8 esu cm.
(D) The bond angle in BH−4 is about 90o.
1 Debye = 10−18 esu cm = 3.335  1030 C − m (coulomb meter). The bond angle in BH−4 is about is 109o.

10. (A) Sulfur tetra fluoride has 10 electrons around the central sulfur atom. This means there are five electrons
pairs arranged in a trigonal bipyramidal shape with 102 degrees F — S — F bond angles between the
equatorial fluorine atoms and 173 degrees between the axial atoms. The remaining lone pair is equatorial
giving an over all see-saw shape.
(B) MnO−4 has a tetrahedral geometry and it uses d3s orbitals. That is Mn uses 3dxy, 3dyz, 3dzx orbitals and 4s
orbitals to bond with four oxygen atom.
(D) During the formation of CO+ from CO, the bond length increases. This is because an electron is removed
from pi bonding orbital and the bond order decreases from 3 to 2.5.

11. (B) In the arrangement of the option B, the order is not correct according to the property indicated against it.
The correct order for increasing first ionisation energy is B < C < O < N.
The ionisation energy of N is higher than the ionisation energy of O. This is because, in case of N, the removal
of an electron will break stable half-filled electronic configuration of 2p subshell.

12. (ABC) F is the most electronegative (as it is having less size) and Cs is the most electropositive element. The
electronegativity of halogens decreases from F to I because as the size increase it shows less tendency to
attract the electrons towards itself. The electron affinity of Cl is higher than that of F though their
electronegativities are in the reverse order. The electron affinity of noble gases are almost zero because it
requires lot of energy for the addition of electrons to noble gases.
