- #1-c-vAction of dilute hydrochloric acid on magnesium sulphite.Ans : Action of dilute hydrochloric acid on magnesium sulphite.
$$\ce{MgSO3 + 2 (dil.) HCl -> MgCl2 + H2O + SO2 }$$
- #1-d [5]
- #1-d-i
Give the IUPAC name for each of the following:

;
- #1-e [5]State one relevant observation for each of the following:
- #1-e-iLead nitrate solution is treated with sodium hydroxide solution drop wise
till it is in excess.Ans : Lead nitrate solution is treated with sodium hydroxide solution drop-wise
till it is in excess and then a white precipitate of lead hydroxide is
formed.
$$\ce{Pb(OH)2 + \underset{ \text{(excessive)}}{2NaOH } -> \underset{ \text{(sodium plumbite)}}{Na2PbO2} + 2H2O}$$

- #1-e-iiAt the anode, when molten lead bromide is electrolyzed using graphite
electrodes.Ans : At the anode, when molten lead bromide is electrolysed using graphite
electrodes, dark reddish brown fumes of bromine are evolved.
$$\ce{PbBr2(l) -> Pb (s) + \underset{\text{Reddish Brown gas}}{2Br (g)} }$$
- #1-e-iiiLead nitrate solution is mixed with dilute hydrochloric acid and heated.Ans : Lead nitrate solution is mixed with dilute hydrochloric acid and heated to
give a white precipitate of lead (I) chloride.
$$\ce{PbBr2(l) -> Pb (s) + \underset{\text{Reddish Brown gas}}{2Br (g)} }$$
$$\ce{ 2 2Pb(NO3)2 + 2 HCl -> PbCl2 (v) + 2 HNO3}$$
- #1-e-ivAnhydrous calcium chloride is exposed to air for some time.Ans : Anhydrous calcium chloride is exposed to air for some time, and then it
will absorb moisture as it is a deliquescent substance and dissolves in it.
- #1-e-vBarium chloride solution is slowly added to sodium sulphate solution.
Ans : Barium chloride solution is slowly added to sodium sulphate solution, and
it gives a white-coloured precipitate of barium sulphate.
