Water is used to extinguish most fires because it lowers the temperature of burning material. However, in case of petrol fires, petrol being lighter than water, floats over water and hence fire spreads instead of being extinguished.

Question 23.
Ferric chloride is reduced when zinc and hydrochloric acid are added to its solution and not by passing H2 gas through its solution. Explain.
Answer:
Ordinary H2 is less reactive and therefore, it does not reduce acidified FeCl3 solution. However, when zinc is added to acidified FeCl3 solution, nascent hydrogen is produced which has enormous energy. It is more reactive than ordinary H2 and reduces acidified FeCl3 solution.
FeCl3 + H2 → No reaction; Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
1st PUC Chemistry Question Bank Chapter 9 Hydrogen - 12

1st PUC Chemistry Hydrogen Four Marks Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Make a comparison of atomic hydrogen with nascent hydrogen any two. How the active hydrogen and heavy hydrogen are formed ?
Answer:
(a) Comparison of atomic and nascent hydrogen
Main points of differences are :

  1. Nascent hydrogen can be produced even at room temperature but atomic hydrogen is produced only at very high temperature.
  2. Nascent hydrogen can never be isolated, but atomic hydrogen can be isolated.
  3. Reducing power of atomic hydrogen is much greater than that of nascent hydrogen.
  4. Reactivity of the three forms of hydrogen increases in the order.
    Molecular hydrogen (H2) < Nascent hydrogen < Atomic hydrogen.

(b) 1. Active hydrogen: It is obtained by subjecting stream of molecular hydrogen at ordinary temperature to silent electric discharge at about 30,0000 volts. It is very reactive in nature (half-life = 0.33 second) and combines directly at ordinary temperatures with Pb and S forming their hydrides.

2. Heavy hydrogen: It is manufactured by the electrolysis of heavy water containing a little of H2SO4 or NaOH to make the solution conducting.
1st PUC Chemistry Question Bank Chapter 9 Hydrogen - 24
In the laboratory, it can be prepared by the action of heavy water on sodium metal.
2D2O(1) + 2Na(s) → 2NaOD(aq) + D2 (g)

Question 2.
Describe the different method by which concentration of Hydrogen peroxide.
Answer:
Concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide obtained by any method is always in the form of a dilute solution. A great care is to be taken for concentrating its solution because it is unstable and decomposes on heating.
2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2
The decomposition of H2O2 is catalysed by the ions of heavy metals present as impurities. The solution of H2O2 is concentrated by following methods.
(1)By careful evaporation on a water bath. A dilute solution of H2O2 is taken in evaporation dish and is heated at 313-323 K. Water evaporates slowly and hydrogen peroxide solution of about 45-50% strength is obtained.

(2) By dehydration in a vacuum desiccators. The dilute (50%) solution of H2O2 obtained is further concentrated by placing the same in a vacuum desiccators containing concentrated H2SO4 as a dehydrating agent. Here water vapours are absorbed by concentrated sulphuric acid. This is shown in the diagram.
1st PUC Chemistry Question Bank Chapter 9 Hydrogen - 25
(3) By distillation under reduced pressure. The solution of hydrogen peroxide is further concentrated by subjecting it to distillation under reduced pressure. The solution is distilled at 308-313 K under a reduced pressure of 15 mm Hg. Water present in the solution distills over leaving behind about 98-99% concentrated solution of hydrogen peroxide.

(4) By crystallization. The last traces of water present in H2O2 are removed by freezing it in a freezing mixture of solid CO2 and ether. The crystals of hydrogen peroxide separate out. These crystals are removed, dried and then remelted to obtained 100% pure hydrogen peroxide.

(5) Storage of hydrogen peroxide. In order to check the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, a small amount of acetanilide (i.e., negative catalyst) is added to it before storing the hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide cannot be concentrated by distillation at ordinary pressure because it undergoes decomposition into water and oxygen as it is highly unstable liquid. It decomposes even on long standing or on heating.

Question 3.
What different methods are used for softening the hard water ? Explain the principle used in each method ? (Write any two)
Answer:
Hard water can be softened by the following methods depending upon the nature of hardness.
(a) Temporary hardness :
1. By boiling. It can be removed by merely boiling the water. Boiling decomposes the bicarbonates to give carbon dioxide and insoluble carbonates, which can be removed by filtration.
1st PUC Chemistry Question Bank Chapter 9 Hydrogen - 26
2. Clark’s process : Temporary hardness can be removed, by the addition of a calculated amount of lime, where magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate is precipitated.
Ca(HCO3)2 + Ca(OH)2 → 2CaCO3+2H2O
Mg(HCO3)2 +Ca(OH)2 → CaCO3+MgCO3 +2H2O

(b) Permanent hardness: With sodium carbonate. On treatment with washing soda, Ca2+ and Mg2+ in hard water are precipitated. The precipitate of the insoluble carbonates thus formed is removed by filtration.
1st PUC Chemistry Question Bank Chapter 9 Hydrogen - 27
The anion may remain in solution but in this form it is not dangerous.

(ii) Ion-exchange method. The common substances used for this process is zeolite which is hydrated sodium aluminium silicate, NaAl(SiO2)2. The exchange occurs when on passing over the zeolite bed, sodium ions from zeolite are replaced by calcium and magnesium ions. Thus .
2NaZe + Ca2+ → (Ze)2 Ca + 2Na+ ; 2NaZe + Mg2+ → (Ze)2 Mg + 2Na+
When all the sodium ions of zeolite has been replace, the zeolite is said to be exhausted. It can be regenerated by treatment with strong solution of sodium chloride.
2Na + (Ze)2 Ca → 2ZeNa + Ca2+

Question 4.
How can you show that H2O2 works both as oxidizing and reducing agent by giving examples.
Answer:
Oxidising properties. H2O2 has a tendency to accept electrons in chemical reactions and thus behaves as an oxidizing agent in both acidic and alkaline medium.
(a) In acidic medium
H2O2 → H2O + O
H2O2 + 2H+ + 2e → 2H2O
Example:
2Fe2+ + 2H+ + H2O2 → 2Fe3+ + 2H2O
b) In alkaline medium H2O2 + OH + 2e
Example:
\(3 \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}+10 \mathrm{OH}^{-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{CrO}_{4}^{2-}+8 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)

Reducing properties. H2O2 can give electrons in a few reactions and thus behaves as a reducing agent.
a) In acidic medium, H2O2 → O2 + 2H+ + 2e
\(2 \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}+6 \mathrm{H}^{+}+5 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{M}^{2+}+8 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+5 \mathrm{O}_{2}\)

b) In alkaline medium, H2O2 + 2OH → 2H2O + O2 + 2e
2Fe3+ + H2O2 + 2OH → 2Fe2+ + O2 + 2H2O

The process \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) H2(g) + e → H (g) is endothermic ((AH =+151kJmor-1), yet salt like hydrides are known. How do you account for this?
Answer:
It is true that formation of hydride(H) ion is an endothermic process, yet alkali and alkaline earth metals from salt like hydrides. This is due to the reason that high lattice energy released (energy released during the formation of solid metal hydrides from their corresponding ions, i.e., M+ and H) more than compensates the energy needed for the formation of H ions from H2 gas.

Question 10.
0.5L each of three samples of H2O2 labelled 10 vol, 15 vol and 20 vol are mixed and then diluted with equal volume of water. What is the strength of resultant H2O2 solution ?
Answer:
Volume strength of H2O2 solution = 5.6 × Normality
Normality = \(\frac{\text { Vol. strength }}{5.6}\)
Normality of 10 vol of H2O2 = \(\frac { 10 }{ 5.6 }\) N
Normality of 10 vol of H2O2 = \(\frac { 15 }{ 5.6 }\) N
Normality 20 vol of H2O2 = \(\frac { 20 }{ 5.6 }\) N
Let 500 mL of each solution is mixed and then total volume of mixture becomes = 1500 mL. Since it is diluted with equal volume of water, total volume becomes 3000 mL.
Applying normality equation N1V2 + N2V2 + N3V3 = N4V4
\(\begin{array}{l}{\frac{10 \times 500}{5.6}+\frac{15 \times 500}{5.6}+\frac{20 \times 500}{5.6}=\mathrm{N}_{4} \times 3000} \\ {\mathrm{N}_{4}=\frac{45 \times 500}{5.6 \times 3000}=1.339 \mathrm{N}}\end{array}\)

Answer: Degree of hardness of water = 60ppm
Since degree of hardness is the number of parts of calcium carbonate or equivalent to calcium and magnesium salts present in a million parts of water by mass.
106 g of water contain 60 g of CaCO3
Now 1 mol of CaCCO3 = 1 mol of MgSO4
100g of CaCOa = 120g of MgSO4
106 g of water contain MgSO4 = \(\frac{60 \times 200}{100}=72 \mathrm{g}\) = 72 g
103 g of water will contain MgSO4 = \(\frac{72}{10^{6}} \times 10^{3}\) = 0.072 g
1 kg of water contain MgSO4 = 72 mg

Question 12.
Find the volume strength of 1.6N NH2O2 solution.
Answer:
Strength = Normality × Eq. wt. Eq. wt. of H2O2 =17
∴ Strength of 1.6 NH2O2 solution = 1.6 × l7gL-1
Now 68g of H2O2 gives 22400 mL O2 atNTP/STP
∴ 1.6 × 17g of H2O2 will give = \(\frac { 22400 }{ 68 }\) × l.6 × l7 = 8960 mL of O2 at STP
But 1.6 × 17g of H2O2 are present in 1000 mL of H2O2 solution.
Hence 1000 mL of H2O2 solution gives 8960 mL of O2 at STP
1 mL of H2O2 will give = 8.96 mL of O2 at STP
Hence the volume strength of 1.6 N H2O2 solution is = 8.96 volume.

Question 14.
Calculate the percentage strength and strength in grams per litre of 10 volume hydrogen peroxide solution.
Answer:
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on heating according to the equation :
1st PUC Chemistry Question Bank Chapter 9 Hydrogen - 41
From the equation,
22.4 litres of O2 at N.T.P. are obtained from 2 × 34 or 68 g of H2O2
∴ 10 ml of O2 at N.T.P. will be obtained from \(\frac { 68 }{ 22400 }\) × 10g of H2O2
But 10 ml of O2 at N.T.P. are produced from 1 ml of 10 volume H2O2 solution
Thus 1 ml of 10 volume H2O2 solutioin contains \(\frac { 68 }{ 22400 }\) × 10g of H2O2
∴ 100 ml of 10 volume H2O2 solution will contain \(\frac { 68 }{ 22400 }\) × \(\frac { 10 }{ 1 }\) x 100 = 3.036g
Thus, a 10 volume H2O2 solution is approx. 3% alternatively, 1000 ml of 10 volume
H2O2 will contain \(\frac { 68 }{ 22400 }\) × 10 × 1000 = 30.36g
Therefore, strength of H2O2 in 10 volume
H2O2 = 30.36gL-1

Question 15.

Thus, the strength of 20 volume H2O2 solution = 60.7 g/1

Step 2 : To calculate equivalent weight of H2O2
1st PUC Chemistry Question Bank Chapter 9 Hydrogen - 43
From the above equation, 32 parts by wt. of oxygen are obtained from 68 parts by wt. of H2O2
8 parts by wt of oxygen will be obtained from \(\frac { 68 }{ 32 }\) x 8 = 17 parts by wt. of H2O2
Eq. wt of H2O2 = 17

Step 3: To calculate the normality of 20 volume H2O2 solution
Now we know that, Normality = \(=\frac{\text { Strength }}{\text { Eq.wt }}=\frac{60.7}{17}=3.57\)
Hence the normality of 20 volume H2O2 solution = 3.57N

Question 16.
Find the volume strength of 1.6 N H2O2 solution.
Answer:
We know that strength = Normality × Eq. wt; and Eq. wt of H2O2 = 17
Strength of 1.6 N H2O2 solution = 16 × 17 g/1
Now 68 g of H2O2 gives 22400 ml O2 at NTP
16 × 17 g of H2O2 will give \(\frac { 22400 }{ 68}\) × 1.6 × 17 = 8960 ml of O2 at NTP
But 1.6 × 17 g of H2O2 are present in 1000 ml of H2O2 solution.
Hence 1000 ml of H2O2 solution gives 8960 ml of O2 at STP
lml of H2O2 solution will give = \(\frac { 8960 }{ 1000}\) = 8.96 ml of O2 at NTP
Hence the volume strength of 1.6N H2O2 solution = 8.96 volume

Question 17.
Calculate the volume strength of a 35% solution of H2O2.
Answer:
Step 1: To calculate the amount of H2O2 present in one litre of 3% solution.
100 ml of H2O2 solution contain H2O2 = 3g
1000 ml of H2O2 solution will contain H2O2 = \(\frac { 3 }{ 100}\) x 1000 = 30 g

Step 2 : Calculate the volume strength. Consider the chemical equation.
1st PUC Chemistry Question Bank Chapter 9 Hydrogen - 44
Now 68 g of H2O2 give O2 at NTP = 22.4 litres
30g of H2O2 will give O2 at NTP = \(\frac { 22.4 }{ 68}\) × 30 = 9.88 litres = 9880 ml
But 30g of H2O2 are present in 1000 ml of H2O2
Hence 1000 ml of H2O2 solution gives O2 at NTP = 9880 ml
1 ml of H2O2 solution will give O2 at NTP = \(\frac { 9880 }{ 1000}\) = 9.88 ml
Hence the volume strength of 3% H2O2 solution = 9.88

Question 18.
What is the mass of hydrogen peroxide present in 1 litre of 2M solution ? Calculate the volume of oxygen at STP liberated upon complete decomposition of 100 cm3 of the above solution.
Answer:
Step 1: To calculate the mass of H2O2 in 1 litre of 2M solution.
Molecular mass of H2O2 = 2 × 1 + 2 × 16 = 34 amu
By definition, I litre of 1M H2O2 contains 34 g of H2O2
1 litre of 2M H2O2 will contain H2O2 = 34 × 2 = 68 g

Step 2 : To calculate the volume of O2 liberated at STP fromlOO cm3 of 2M solution.
1 litre 2M H2O2 solution contains H2O2 = 68 g
100 cm3 of 2M H2O2 solution will contain \(\frac { 68 }{ 1000}\) × 100 = 6.8g of H2O2
The equation representing the decomposition of H2O2 is
2H22O 2 × 34 = 68g → 2H2O + O22 2400cm3 at STP
Now 68 g of H2O2 at STP give O2 = 22400 cm3 k of O2
6.8 g of H2O2 at STP will evolve O2 = \(\frac { 22400 }{ 68}\) x 6.8 = 2240cm3 = 2.24 mL reg

Question 19.
30 ml of a H2O2 solution after acidication required 30 ml of N/10 KMnCh solution for complete oxidation. Calculate the percentage and volume strength of H2O2 solution.
Answer:
Step 1: To determine the normality of H2O2 solution. From the given solution.
For H2O2 V1 = 30ml, N1 = ? For KMnCh, V2 = 30ml, N2 = N/10
Applying normality equation N1V1 = N2V2
i.e., 30 × N1 = 30 × 1/10
Thus, the normality of H2O2 solution = 0.1N

Step 2: To determine the percentage strength of H2O2 solution.
We know that, H2O2 → 2H+ + O2 + 2e-
Eq. wt. of H2O2 = 30 / 2 = 17
Hence strength of H2O2 solution = Normality × Eq. wt = 0.1 × 17 = 1.7 g/litre
Percentage strength of H2O2 = \(\frac{1.7 \times 100}{1000}=0.17 \%\)

Step 3 : To determine the volume strength of H2O2 solution.
Consider the chemical equation 2H2O268g → 2H2O + O222400ml atNTP
Now 68 g of H2O2 give O2 at NTP = 22400 ml
1.7g of H2O2 will give O2 = \(\frac{22400}{68} \times 1.7=560 \mathrm{ml}\)
But 1.7 g of H2O2 are present in 1000 ml of H2O2 solution.
Hence 1000 ml of H2O2 solution gives 560 ml of O2 at NTP
1ml of H2O2 solution gives = \(\frac { 560 }{ 1000 }\) = 0.56 ml of O2at NTP
Volume strength of H2O2 solution = 0.56

Question 20.
One litre of a sample of hard water contains Img of CaCl2 and 1 mg of MgCl2 Find out the total hardness in terms of parts of CaCO3 per 106 parts of water by mass, (i) Mol. Mass of CaCl2 = 111
Answer:
Now lllg CaCl2 = lOOg of CaCO3
1 mg of CaCl2 = \(\frac { 100 }{ 111 }\) × 1 mg of CaCO3= 0.9 mg of CaCO3

(ii) Mol. Mass of MgCk = 95
Now 95g of MgCl2 = lOOg of CaCO3
1 mg of MgCl2 = \(\frac { 100 }{ 95 }\) × 1 mg of CaCO3 = 1.05 mg of CaCO3
Thus, 1 litre of hard water contain = 0.90 + 1.05 = 1.95 mg of CaCO3.

Question 21.
A 5.0 cm3 solution of H2O2 liberates 0.50 g of iodine from an acidified K1 solution. Calculate the strength of H2O2 solution in terms of volume strength at STP.
Answer:
(a) 2K1 + H2SO4 + H2O → K2SO4 + 2H2O +I2
From the above equation, H2O2 s I2 (both are required)
34g of H2O2 = 254g of I2
∴ 0.508 g of I2 will be liberated from H2O2 = \(\frac { 34 }{ 254 }\) x 0.508 = 0.068g

(b) The decomposition of H202 occurs as
2H2O22X34 = 68g → 2H2O + O222400 cm3 at NTP
∴ 0.068 of H2O upon decomposition will give O2 = \(\frac { 22400 }{ 68 }\) x 0.068 = 22.4ml

(c) Now 5.0 cm3 of H2O2 solution gives O2 = 22.4cm3 at NTP
∴ 1.0 cm3 of H2O2 solution gives O2 = \(\frac { 22.4 }{ 5 }\) = 4.48 cm3 at NTP
Thus volume strength of give H2O2 solution = 4.48

Question 22.
Calculate molarity and normality of 20 volume of H2O2. What is its mass percentage?
Answer:
vol. of H2O2 means 1 ml of H2O2 gives 20ml of O2 at STP
1st PUC Chemistry Question Bank Chapter 9 Hydrogen - 45
22400 ml of O2 of STP is given by 68g of H2O2
20 ml of O2 at STP is given by \(\frac { 68 }{ 22400 }\) x 20g of H2 = 0.0606 H2O2
1000 ml of H2O2 contains 0.0606 × 1000 = 60.6 = 60.6
∴ Molarity = \(\frac{60.6}{\text { Mol. wt of } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}}\)
∴ M = \(\frac { 60.6 }{ 34.0 }\) = 1.78 \(\left[\because \mathrm{Eqwt}=\frac{\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{wt}}{2}\right]\)

Question 23.
20 ml of solution having 0.2 g of impure H2O2 reacts with 0.316 of KMnO4 in acidic medium. Calculate (a) Purity of H2O2 (b) Volume of dry oxygen evolved at 0° C and 750 mm pressure.
Answer:
2MnO4(aq) + 6H+ (aq) + 5H2O2(aq) → 2Mn2+(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 50(g)
158 x 2 g of KMnO4 reacts with 34 × 5 g of H2O2
0.316 g of KMnO4 will react with \(\frac { 170 }{ 0.2 }\) x 0.316 g of H2O2 = 0.169 g of H2O2
=> Percentage purity of H2O2 = \(\frac { 0.169 }{ 0.2 }\) x 100 = 85%
Also 316 g of KMn04 at STP produces 5 × 22 L of O2
