MCQ
The first and second ionisation enthalpies of a metal are $496$ and $4560 \;\mathrm{kJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1},$ respectively. How many moles of $\mathrm{HCl}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$ respectively, will be needed to react completely with $1$ mole of the metal hydroxide?
  • $1$ and $0.5$
  • B
    $2$ and $0.5$
  • C
    $1$ and $1$
  • D
    $1$ and $2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1$ and $0.5$
a
IE values indicate, that the metal belongs to Ist group since second IE is very high ( only one valence electron) Metal hydroxide will be of type, $MOH$. $\mathrm{MOH}+\mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{MCl}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$

$(1mol)$ $(1 \mathrm{mol})$

$\mathrm{MOH}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{M}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$

$(1mol) $$\left(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mol}\right)$

So one mole of HCl required to react with one mole $MOH.$

So $\frac{1}{2}$ mole of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$ required to react with one mole $MOH.$
