MCQ
Identify a 'Chemical twin' among the followings.
- AZr - Ta
- BNb - Tc
- CHf - Re
- DNb - Ta
Explanation:
Chemical twins are those in which the properties of some elements are same. Atomic size of Zr and Hf , Nb and Ta are similar. This is due to lanthanide contraction.

$Cl_2(aq)+H_2SO_4(aq) \rightarrow S(s)+2H^+(aq)+2Cl^-$
The rate equation for this reaction is
rate $=k[Cl_2][H_2S]$
Which of these mechanisms is/are consistent with this rate equation ?
$A.\,\, Cl_2 + H_2S \rightarrow H^+ + Cl^- + Cl^+ + HS^-\,\, (slow)$
$Cl^+ +HS^- \rightarrow H^+ +Cl^- +S \,(fast)$
$B.\,\, H_2S \rightleftharpoons H^+ + HS^-\,$ (fast equilibrium)
$Cl_2^+ + HS^- \rightarrow 2CI^- + H^+ + S\,\, (Slow)$
