An element 'A' exists as a yellow solid in standard state. It forms a volatile hydride 'B' which is a foul smelling gas and is extensively used in qualitative analysis of salts. When treated with oxygen, 'B' forms an oxide 'C' which is a colourless and pungent smelling gas. The gas when passed through acidified KMnO_(4) solution, decolourises it. 'C' gets oxidised to another oxide 'D' in the presence of heterogeneous catalyst. Identify A, B, C, D and also give the chemical equations of reaction of 'C' with acidified KMnO_(4) solution and for conversion of 'C' into 'D'. |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) The data suggests that the yellow solid 'A' is sulphur `(S_(8))`. The volatile hydride 'B' with a punget smell is hydrogen sulphides `(H_(2)S)` gas. Upon treatment with oxygen, `H_(2)S` is converted to sulphur dioxide `(SO_(2))` which is a colourless pungent smelling gas 'C'. (iii) The gas 'C' DECOLOURISES acidified `KMnO_(4)` solution and is also converted another oxide `SO_(3)` 'D' in the presence of heterogeneous catalyst platinised ASBESTOS. The chemical reactions involved are as follow : `underset((A))(S_(8)(s))+8H_(2)(g) overset("heat") to underset((B))(8H_(2)S(g))` `underset((B))(2H_(2)S(g))+3O_(2)(g) overset("heat") to underset((C ))(2SO_(2)(g))+2H_(2)O(g)` `underset((C ))(2SO_(2)(g))+O_(2)(g) overset(Pt)to underset((D))(2SO_(3))(g)` `2KMnO_(4)+3H_(2)SO_(4)to K_(2)SO_(4)+2MnSO_(4)+3H_(2)O+5(O)` `[SO_(2)+2H_(2)O to H_(2)SO_(4)+2H]xx5` `(2H+O to H_(2)O xx5)/(underset(("Violet"))(2KMnO_(4))+5SO_(2)+2H_(2)O to underset(("Colourless"))(K_(2)SO_(4)) +underset(("Colourless"))(2MnSO_(4))+2H_(2)SO_(4)` |

An element 'A' exists as a yellow solid in standard state. It forms a volatile hydride 'B' which is a foul smelling gas and is extensively used in qualitative analysis of salts. When teated with oxygen, 'B' forms an oxide 'C' which is a colourless, pungent smelling gas. This gas when passed through acidified KMnO_(4) solution, decolourises it. 'C' gets oxidised to another oxide 'D' in the presence of a heterogeous catalyst. Identify A, B, C, D and also give the chemical equation of reaction of 'C' with acidified KMnO_(4) solution and for conversion of 'C' to 'D'. |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) SINCE element 'A' is a yellow solid in the standard state and forms a foul smelling gas 'B' which is extensively USED in qualitative analysis of salts, therefore, the element 'A' must be sulphure `(H_(2)S)`. `UNDERSET(("Yellow solid, A"))underset("Sulphur")(S) + H_(2) overset("Heat")rarr underset(("Foul smelling gas, B"))underset("Hydrogen sulphide")(H_(2)S)` (ii) Since the volatile gas 'B' reacts with OXYGEN to form a colourless pungent smelling gas 'C' which decolourises acidified `KMnO_(4)` solution, the gas 'C' must be sulphur dioxide `(SO_(2))`. `underset("Hydrogen suphide (B)")(2H_(2)S) + 3O_(2) rarr 2 H_(2)O + underset(("Colourless pungent smelling gas C"))underset("Sulphur dioxide")(2SO_(2))` The gas C being a reducing agent reduces acidified `KMnO_(4)` solution. `{:(""2KMnO_(4)+3H_(2)SO_(4) rarr K_(2)SO_(4)+2MnSO_(4)+3H_(2)O+5[O]),(""SO_(2)+H_(2)O+[O] rarr [H_(2)SO_(4)] xx 5),(bar(underset(("Pink"))(2KMnO_(4))+5SO_(2)+2H_(2)rarr K_(2)SO_(4)+underset(("Colourless"))(2MnSO_(4))+2H_(2)SO_(4))):}` (iii) Since the colourless pungent smelling gas 'C', i.e., `SO_(2)`, can be oxidised to another oxide 'D' in the presence of a heterogeneous CATALYST (i.e., Pt or `V_(2)O_(5)`), therefore, the oxide 'D' must be sulphur trioxide `(SO_(3))`. `underset("Sulphur dioxide (C)")(2SO_(2)) + O_(2) rarr underset("Sulphur trioxide (D)")(2SO_(3))` Thus, 'A' is sulphur (S), 'B' is hydrogen sulphide, `(H_(2)S)`. 'C' is sulphur dioxide `(SO_(2))` and 'D' is sulphur trioxide `(SO_(3))`. |
