Question 17.
Give a brief account of the action of water on metals.
Answer:
(i) The most reactive metals i.e., the alkali metals, decompose water even in cold with the evolution of hydrogen leaving an alkali metal hydroxide solution.
2Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2
(ii) The group 2 metals (except beryllium) react in a similar way but less violently, The hydroxides are less soluble in water than those of Group 1.
Ba + 2H2O → Ba(OH)2 + H2

Question 19.
What are the causes for the hardness of water?
Answer:
The presence of Ca+2 and Mg+2 ions and that of metal salt in the form of bicarbonate, chloride and sulphate ions makes water hard.
Question 20.
How is temporary hardness removed?
Answer:
This can be removed by boiling the hard water followed by filtration. Upon boiling, these salts decompose into insoluble carbonate which leads to their precipitation. The magnesium carbonate thus formed further hydrolysed to give insoluble magnesium hydroxide.
Ca(HCO3)2 → CaCO3 + H2O + CO2
Mg(HCO3)2 → MgCO3 + H2O+ CO2
MgCO3 + H2O → Mg(OH)2 + CO2
The resulting precipitates can be removed by filtration.
Question 21.
Explain Clark’s method of remaining temporary hardness of water.
Answer:
The Clark’s method uses, calculated amount of lime to hard water containing the magnesium and calcium and the resulting carbonates and hydroxides are filtered-off.
Ca(HCO3)2 + Ca(OH)2 → 2CaCO3 + 2H2O
Mg (HCO3)2 + 2Ca(OH)2 → 2CaCO3 + Mg(OH)2 + 2 H2O
Question 22.
How is permanent hardness in hardwater is removed?
Answer:
Permanent hardness of water is due to the presence of soluble salts of magnesium and calcium in the form of chlorides and sulphates in it. It can be removed by adding washing soda, which reacts with these metal (M = Ca or Mg) chlorides and sulphates in hard water to form insoluble carbonates.
MCl2 + Na2CO3 → MCO3 + 2 NaCl
MSO4 + Na2CO3 → MCO3 + Na2SO4
Question 23.
Give the chemical properties of heavy water and water.
Answer:
Heavy water is chemically similar to ordinary water (H2O). However D2O reacts more slowly than H2O in chemical reactions.
(i) When compounds containing hydrogen are treated with D2O, hydrogen undergoes an exchange for deuterium,
2NaOH + D2O → 2NaOD + HOD .
HCl + D2O → DCl + HOD
NH4Cl + 4D2O → ND4Cl + 4HOD
These exchange reactions are useful in determining the number of ionic hydrogens present in a given compound. For example, when D2O is treated with of hypo-phosphorus acid only one hydrogen atom is exchanged with deuterium. It indicates that, it is a monobasic acid.
H3PO2 + D2O → H2DPO2 + HDO
It is also used to prepare some deuterium compounds:
Al4C3 + 12 D2O → 4 Al(OD)3 3CD4
CaC2 + 2 D2O → Ca(OD)2 + C2D2
Mg3`N2 + 6 D2O → 3 Mg(OD)2 + 2 ND3
Ca3P2 + 6 D2O → 3 Ca(OD)2 + 2 PD3
Question 24.
What do you understand by 100 volume H2O2?
Answer:

Question 25.
An ice cube atO°C is placed in some liquid water at 0°C, the ice cube sinks – Why?
Answer:
The density of ice is lower than that of water. Hence it sinks in liquid water.
Question 26.
Calculate (i) Concentration of H2O2 in g/L,
(ii) Normally and
(iii) Molarity of a 10 vol solution of H2O2.
Answer:
(i)
22400 ml of oxygen is obtained at NTP from = 68g of H2O2
10 ml of oxygen is obtained at NTP from = \(\frac{68}{22400}\) = 0.03035 g of H2O2
1 m/ of H2O2 contains = 0.03035 g H2O2
100 ml of H2O2 contains = 0.03035 × 100 = 3.035 g of H2O2
or
the solution is 3.035%
or
concentration of ‘10 vol’ solution = 3.035 × 10 = 30.35 g/litre.
(ii) Normality (N) = \(\frac{\text { Concentration in } \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{L}}{\text { Equivalent mass }}\)
Equivalent mass of H2O2 = \(\frac{\text { Molecular mass }}{2}=\frac{34}{12}\) = 17
Normality (N) = \(\frac{30.35}{17}\) = 1.785
Normality of 10 volume solution = 1.785 N
[Relationship between volume strength and normality]
Let volume strength of H2O2 solution be ‘V’.
i.e., ‘ V’ litre of O2 is given by 1L of H2O2 at NTP.
g/L of H2O2 = \(\frac{68}{22.4}\) × V
N = \(\frac{\text { strength }}{\text { Equivalent mass }}\)
= \(\frac{68}{22.4} \times \mathrm{V} \times \frac{1}{17}\)
‘V’ = 5.6 × Normality
Similarly ‘V’ = 11.2 × molarity
Question 27.
Give a brief account of ionic hydrides.
Answer:
These are hydrides composed of an electropositive metal, generally, an alkali or alkaline-earth metal, except beryllium and magnesium, formed by transfer of electrons from metal to hydrogen atoms. They can be prepared by the reaction of elements at about 400° C. These are salt-like, high-melting, white crystalline solids having hydride ions (H–) and metal cations Mn+ where ‘n’ is the valency of the metal.
2 Li + H2 → 2 LiH
Question 28.
Give a brief account of covalent hydrides.
Answer:
Covalent hydrides are compounds in which hydrogen is attached to another element by sharing of electrons. Covalent hydrides are further divided into three categories, viz., electron precise (CH4, C2H6, SiH4, GeH4), electron-deficient (B2H6) and electron- rich hydrides (NH3, H2O). Since most of the covalent hydrides consist of discrete, small molecules that have relatively weak intermolecular forces, they are generally gases or volatile liquids.
Question 29.
Give a brief account of metallic (interstitial) hydrides.
Answer:
In metallic hydrides hydrogen occupies the interstitial sites (voids) of their crystal lattice. Hence, they are called interstitial hydrides; these hydrides show properties similar to parent metals and hence they are also known as metallic hydrides. Most of the hydrides are non-stoichiometric with variable composition (TiH1.5 – 1.8 and PdH0.6 – 0.8). Some are relatively light, inexpensive and thermally unstable which make them useful for hydrogen storage applications. Electropositive metals and some other metals form hydrides with the stoichiometry MH or sometimes MH2 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Zn).
Question 30.
Explain how hydrogen bond influence the properties of compound which can form hydrogen bond.
Answer:
Hydrogen bond is weaker than covalent bond but stronger than vanderwaals attraction compounds in which hydrogen bonding occur will have higher boiling point, melting point and solubility.
eg: H2O has a higher boiling point than H2S. CH3OH is soluble in water because it can form hydrogen bonding with water.
Question 31.
Explain (i) intermolecular hydrogen bond and
(ii) intramolecular hydrogen bond.
Answer:
(i) Intermolecular hydrogen bonds occur between two separate molecules. They can occur between any numbers of like or unlike molecules as long as hydrogen donors and acceptors are present in positions which enable the hydrogen bonding interactions. For example, intermolecular hydrogen bonds can occur between ammonia molecule themselves or between water molecules themselves or between ammonia and water.
(ii) Intramolecular hydrogen bonds are those which occur within a single molecule.
Question 32.
Explain the structure of ice.
Answer:
In ice, each atom is surrounded tetrahedrally by four water molecules through hydrogen bonds. That is, the presence of two hydrogen atoms and two lone pairs of electron on oxygen atoms in each water molecule allows formation of a three-dimensional structure. This arrangement creates an open structure having a number of vacant spaces. As a result the density of ice is less than that of liquid.
Tetrahedral arrangement of oxygen atoms in ice The above property of water is very helpful in aquatic life. In extreme cold conditions, the upper layer of sea or lake freezes. The ice layer being lighter does not sink and thereby sea animals or lake animals can live safely in water under these conditions.
