Deep sea divers used to respirate is a mixture of
  • A
    Oxygen and argon
  • Oxygen and helium
  • C
    Oxygen and nitrogen
  • D
    Oxygen and hydrogen
Answer
Correct option: B.
Oxygen and helium
b
(b) An oxygen-helium mixture is used artificial respiration in deep sea diving instead of air because nitrogen present in air dissolves in blood under high pressure when sea diver goes into deep sea. When he comes to the surface, nitrogen bubbles out of the blood due to decrease in pressure, causing pains. This disease is called “bends”.

Both Assertion and Reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. Greater the number of negative atoms present in the oxy-acid make the acid stronger. In general, the strengths of acids that have general formula $(HO)_m$ $ZO_n$ can be related to the value of $n$. As the value of $n$ increases, acidic character also increases. The negative atoms draw electrons away from the $Z-$ atom and make it more positive. The $Z-$ atom, therefore, becomes more effective in withdrawing electron density away from the oxygen atom that bonded to hydrogen. In turn, the electrons of $H -O$ bond are drawn more strongly away from the $H-$ atom. The net effect makes it easier from the proton release and increases the acid a strength

Chlorine bleaches by the process of oxidation. It needs moisture for its bleaching action.

Chlorine reacts with water to form hydrochloric and hypochlorous acids.

$Cl_2+ H_2 O \longrightarrow HCl + HClO$

Hypochlorous acid is unstable, and it easily dissociates to form nascent oxygen.

$HClO \longrightarrow HCl +[ O ]$

Nascent oxygen is a more powerful oxidising agent. Its formation is responsible for the bleaching nature of chlorine in the presence of moisture.

Sulphur dioxide and chlorine gas are the two gases that bleach the colour of flower by oxidation and reduction.

Chlorine reacts with water and produces a single oxygen atom also called nascent oxygen. This nascent oxygen when combines with any colour make it colourless.

$Cl _2+ H _2 O \rightarrow 2 HCl +( O )$ ( $O$ is oxidizing)

Sulphur dioxide when reacts with coloured substances it releases oxygen from the substance resulting in loss of colour.

$SO _2+2 H _2 O \rightarrow H _2 SO _4+2( H )$ ( $H$ is reducing)

Since all the halogens have a strong tendency to accept electrons. Therefore halogens act as strong oxidising agents and their oxidising power decreases from fluorine to iodine.

$I _2\,<\, Br _2\,<\, Cl _2\,<\, F _2$

$F _2$ is better oxidizing agent in water than chlorine due to greater hydration energy.

Which one of the following orders is correct for the bond dissociation enthalpy of halogen molecules?
  • A
    $I_2 > Br_2 > Cl_2 > F_2$
  • $Cl_2 > Br_2 > F_2 > I_2$
  • C
    $Br_2 > I_2 > F_2 > Cl_2$
  • D
    $F_2 > Cl_2 > Br_2 > I_2$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$Cl_2 > Br_2 > F_2 > I_2$
b
$X_2O_3\Rightarrow X^{3+}O^{2-}$

$X_2Cl_3\Rightarrow X^{3+}Cl^{2-}$

$X_2(SO_4)_3\Rightarrow X^{3+}SO_4^{2-}$

$XPO_4\Rightarrow X^{3+}PO_4^{3-}$

Because $Cl^{2-}$ does not exist. So, $X_2Cl_3$ is incorrect. The correct formula should be $XCl_3$.
