Chloride ion and potassium ion are isoelectronic Then

Answer»

POTASSIUM ion is relatively bigger
depends on the other cation and anion
their sezes are same
chloride ion is bigger than potassium ion.

Solution :`Cl^(-) and K^(+)` are isoelectric species having same number of electrons (=18). Greater the nuclear CHARGE of an ion, more will be FORCE of ATTRACTION for same number of electrons. `K^(+)` have greater nuclear charge than `Cl^(-)` so attractive pull exerted by the NUCLEUS is more and the size is smaller in `K^(+)` ion.

Answer :C
34.

Chile salt petre contains sodium iodate upto

Answer»

`0.02%`
`0.2%`
`0.002%`
`0.5%`

ANSWER :B
35.

Chile salt peter a soure of NaNO_(3) also contains NalO_(3). The NalO_(3) can be used as a surece of iodine produced in the following reactions : Step 1 :lO_(3)^(-) + 3HSO_(3)^(-) to l^(-) + 3H^(+) + 3SO_(4)^(2-) Step 2 : 5l^(-) + lO_(3)^(-) + 6H^(+) to 3l_(2) + 3H_(2)O One litre of chile salt peter solution containing amount of same solutionis added to the reaction mixture to bring about the secondreaction . How many grams of NaHSO_(3)are required in step 1 andwhat additional volume of chile peter must be added in step 2 to bring in complete conversion of l^(-) " to " l_(2) ?

Answer»

Solution :Meq. of `NaHSO_(3) = " Meq. of " NalO_(3) = N xx V = (5.8)/(198) xx 6 xx 1000 `
`l^(5+) + 6e^(-) to l^(-) "( For " KlO_(3), " n-FACTOR = 6 ")` .
` :. " Meq. Of " NaHSO_(3) = 175.76`
`W_(NaHSO_(3))/(M//2) xx 1000 = 175.76`
`rArr W_(NaHSO_(3)) = (175.75 xx 104)/(2 xx 1000) = 9.14` gm
ALSO , Meq. of `l^(-)` formed using n-factor `6 = 175.76`
In step 2, n-factor of `l^(-) ` is 1 andn- factor for `lO_(3)^(-)` is 5
Meq. of `l^(-)`formed using n-factor `1 = (175.76)/6`
Meq. of `NalO_(3) " used in " 2^(nd) " step " = (175.76)/6`
`rArr(5.8)/(198) xx 5 xx V = (175.76)/6`
`V_(NalO_(3)) = 20 ` ml
