Short Answer Type Questions
Q28. How can production of hydrogen from water gas be increased by using water gas shift reaction?
Sol: Water gas is produced when superheated steam is passed over red hot coke or coal at 1270 K in the presence of nickel as catalyst.

ncert-exemplar-problems-class-11-chemistry-chapter-9-hydrogen-14
Pure H2 from water gas cannot be obtained easily because it is difficult to remove CO. Therefore, to increase the production of H2 from water gas, CO is oxidized to C02 by mixing it with more steam and passing the mixture over heated FeCr04 catalyst at 673 K.

ncert-exemplar-problems-class-11-chemistry-chapter-9-hydrogen-15

The C02 produced is removed by scrubbing with sodium arsenite solution.

B2H6 – Electron deficient molecular hydride
NaH – Ionic hydride

Q31. If same mass of liquid water and a piece of ice are taken, then why is the density of ice less than that of liquid water?
Sol: The mass per unit volume (i.e., mass/volume) is called density. Since water expands on freezing, therefore, volume of ice for the same mass of water is more than liquid water. In other words, density of ice is lower than liquid water and hence ice floats on water.

ncert-exemplar-problems-class-11-chemistry-chapter-9-hydrogen-16

Q33. Give reasons:
(i) Lakes freeze from top towards bottom.
(ii) Ice floats on water.
Sol: (i) During severe winter, the temperature of water in the lake keeps on decreasing. Since cold water is heavier, it keeps on going into the interior of the lake while warm water keeps on coming to the surface of the lake. This process continues till the temperature of entire water of lakes becomes 4°C. Since density of water is maximum at 277 K, any further decrease in the temperature will decrease its density. As a result, the temperature of the surface water keeps on decreasing and it ultimately freezes. Now, any further decrease in the temperature will decrease the temperature of water below 4°C. This process continues and as a result, the lakes keep on freezing from top to bottom.
(ii) Density of ice is less than water due to presence of empty spaces created because of H-bonding between H20 molecules. Hence, ice floats on water.

Q34. What do you understand by the term ‘auto-protolysis of water? What is its significance?
Sol: Autoprotolysis is a reaction in which two same molecules react to give ions with proton transfer. Water undergoes autoproteolysis, i.e., a proton from one molecule is transferred to another molecule.

ncert-exemplar-problems-class-11-chemistry-chapter-9-hydrogen-17

On account of autoprotolysis, water is amphoteric in nature.

Q35. Discuss briefly de-mineralisation of water by ion exchange resin.
Sol: Demineralised water free from all soluble mineral salts is obtained by passing water successively through a cation exchange and an anion exchange resin.
In cation exchange process, H+ exchanges for Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and in the anion exchange process OH exchanges for anions like CH, HCO3, S02-4, etc. H+ and OH released combine to form water.
H+ + OH → H20

Q36. Molecular hydrides are classified as electron deficient, electron precise and electron rich compounds. Explain each type with two examples.

(i) Electron deficient hydrides: These hydrides do not have sufficient number of electrons to form normal covalent bonds. Examples are the hydrides of group 13 such as B2H6, (AlH3)n etc.
(ii) Electron precise hydrides: These have exact number of electrons to form normal covalent bonds. Examples are the hydrides of group 14 such as CH4, SiH4, etc.
(iii) Electron rich hydrides: These have more number of electrons than normal covalent bonds. The excess electrons are present in the form of lone pairs. Examples are the hydrides of group 15, 16 and 17 such as

Q37. How is heavy water prepared? Compare its physical properties with those of ordinary water.

Property H2o D2o
(i) Molecular mass (g mol-1) 18.015 20.027
(ii) Melting point (K) 273.0 276.8
(iii) Boiling point (K) 373.0 374.4
(iv) Density (298 K) g cm-3 1.0000 1.1059
(v) Enthalpy of vapourisation (kJ mol-1) 40.66 41.61

 

Q38. Write one chemical reaction for the preparation of D202.
Sol: D202 can be prepared by the reaction of D2S04 dissolved in water over Ba02.
Ba02 + D2S04→ BaS04 + D202

Q39. Calculate the strength of 5 volume H202
Sol:
5 volume H202 solution means that 1 L of 5 volume H202 on decomposition gives 5L of 02 at NTP.
ncert-exemplar-problems-class-11-chemistry-chapter-9-hydrogen-19

Q40. (i)Draw the gas phase and solid phase structure of H202.
(ii) H202 is a better oxidizing agent than water. Explain.
Sol:
(i) Structure of H202 is slightly different in gas phase and solid phase.

ncert-exemplar-problems-class-11-chemistry-chapter-9-hydrogen-20
ncert-exemplar-problems-class-11-chemistry-chapter-9-hydrogen-21

Q41. Melting point, enthalpy of vapourisation and viscosity data of H20 and D20 are given below:

H2o D2o
Boiling point / K 373.0 374.4
Enthalpy of vapourisation at (373 K)/ kJ mol-1 40.66 41.61
Viscosity/centipoise 0.8903 1.107

On the basis of this data, explain in which of these liquids intermolecular forces are stronger?

Sol: The melting point, enthalpy of vapourisation and viscosity values of all these items depend upon the intermolecular forces

of attraction. Since their values are higher for D20 as compared to those of H20, therefore, intermolecular forces of attraction

are stronger in D20 than in H20.

Q42. Dihydrogen reacts with dioxygen (02) to form water. Write the name and formula of the product when the isotope of hydrogen which has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus is treated with oxygen. Will the reactivity of both the isotopes be the same towards oxygen? Justify your answer.
Sol:The isotope of hydrogen which contains one proton and one neutron is deuterium (D). Thus, when dideuterium reacts with dioxygen, deuterium oxide, i.e., heavy water is produced.

ncert-exemplar-problems-class-11-chemistry-chapter-9-hydrogen-22
The reactivity of H2 and D2 towards oxygen will be different. Since the D – D bond is stronger than H – H bond, therefore, H2 is more reactive than D2 towards reaction with oxygen.

Q43. Explain why HC1 is a gas and HF is a liquid.
Sol: Due to greater electronegativity of F over Cl, F forms stronger H-bonds as compared to Cl. As a result, more energy is needed to break the H-bonds in HF than in HC1 and hence the b.p. of HF is higher than that of HCl. Consequently, H-F is liquid while HC1 is a gas at room temperature.

Q44. When the first element of the periodic table is treated with dioxygen, it gives a compound whose solid state floats on its liquid state. This compound has an ability to act as an acid as well as a base. What products will be formed when this compound undergoes autoionisation?
Sol: The first element is hydrogen and its molecular form is dihydrogen (H2). It reacts with oxygen to form water whose solid state is ice which is lighter than water and floats over water.
Water is amphoteric in nature, i.e., it acts as an acid in the presence of strong bases and acts as a base in the presence of strong acids.

Q45. Rohan heard that instructions were given to the laboratory attendant to store a particular chemical, i.e., keep it in the dark room, add some urea in it, and keep it away from dust. This chemical acts as an oxidizing as well as a reducing agent in both acidic and alkaline media. This chemical is important for use in the pollution control treatment of domestic and industrial effluents.
(i) Write the name of this compound.
(ii) Explain why such precautions are taken for storing this chemical.
Sol: (i) The name of the compound is H202. It acts as an oxidizing as well as reducing agent in both acidic and basic media.
(ii) H202 is decomposed by light and dust particles. Urea is added as a negative catalyst, i.e., to check its decomposition.

2H202(1)→2H20(1) + 02(g)

Because of the oxidizing properties, H202 is widely used to control pollution by oxidation of harmful cyanides and obnoxious smelling sulphides present in domestic and industrial effluents. It also helps in sewage disposal by supplying 02 for oxidation of organic matter present – in sewage waters.
