Why can dilute solutions of hydrogen peroxide not be concentrated by heating? How can a concentrated solution of hydrogen peroxide be obtained?
Why can dilute solutions of hydrogen peroxide not be concentrated by heating? How can a concentrated solution of hydrogen peroxide be obtained?
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Hydrogen peroxide cannot be concentrated by heating as it can cause bumps on heating. It can be extracted with water and concentrated to ~30% (by mass) by distillation under reduced pressure. It can be further concentrated to ~85% b
Why does water show a high boiling point as compared to hydrogen sulphide? Give reasons for your answer.
Why does water show a high boiling point as compared to hydrogen sulphide? Give reasons for your answer.
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Water has a significantly higher boiling point than hydrogen sulphide because of the presence of strong hydrogen bonds between water molecules, which are absent in hydrogen sulphide due to the lower electronegativity of sulfur
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Water molecules are polar because in the gas phase water is a bent molecule with a bond angle of 104.5°, O-H bond length of 95.7 pm. Oxygen is more elsectronegative (EN = 3.5 ) than hydrogen (EN= 2.1 ) hence, O-H bond is polar
With the help of suitable examples, explain the property of H2O2 that is responsible for its bleaching action?
With the help of suitable examples, explain the property of H2O2 that is responsible for its bleaching action?
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
H2O2 decomposes slowly on exposure to light.
2H2O2→ 2H2O+2O2
In daily life it is used as a hair bleach and as a mild disinfectant. As an antiseptic it is sold in the market as perhydrol.
An acidic solution of hydrogen peroxide behaves as an oxidising as well as reducing agent. Illustrate it with the help of a chemical equation.
An acidic solution of hydrogen peroxide behaves as an oxidising as well as reducing agent. Illustrate it with the help of a chemical equation.
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(i) Oxidising action in acidic medium:
2Fe2+ (aq)+2H+ (aq)+H2O2 (aq) → 2Fe3+ (aq)+2H2O (l)
PbS (s)+4H2O2 (aq) → PbSO4 (s)+4H2O (l)
(ii) Reducing action in acidic medium:
2MnO4-+6H++5H2O2 → 2Mn2++8H2O+5O2
HOCl+H2O2 → H3O++Cl-+H2O

Heavy water can be used as a moderator in nuclear reactors and in exchange reactions for the study of reaction mechanisms. It can be prepared by exhaustive electrolysis of water or as a by-product in some fertilizer industries.
Basic principle of hydrogen economy is transportation and storage of energy in the form of liquid or gaseous hydrogen. Which property of hydrogen may be useful for this purpose? Support your answer with the chemical equation if required.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Hydrogen economy (Hydrogen as fuel):
(i) The electricity cannot be stored in automobiles. It is not possible to store and transport nuclear energy. Hydrogen is an alternative source of energy and hence called the 'hydrogen economy".
Why is the ionisation enthalpy of hydrogen higher than that of sodium?
Why is the ionisation enthalpy of hydrogen higher than that of sodium?
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar\
In sodium the last shell electron is in 3s1 after losing that electron, it can acquire the configuration of Ne. Whereas in hydrogen, the electron is in s-orbital.
