Chemistry - Complete s-block Question with Solution | TestHub
The unbalanced reactions given in List-I are to be matched with the properties of their products given in List-II. Which of the following options is a CORRECT combination?
List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
(P) | (i) One of the products is a diatomic gas at room temperature |
(Q) | (ii) One of the products is basic in nature |
(R) | (iii) One of the products contains a peroxy linkage |
(S) | (iv) One of the products turns red litmus blue |
| (v) One of the products is amphoteric in nature |
| (vi) One of the products is a carbonate salt |
The correct option is :
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
P: Magnesium nitride hydrolyses to magnesium hydroxide and ammonia.
Both products are basic, so P-ii,iv.
Ammonia is not diatomic.
Q: Calcium hydride gives calcium hydroxide and diatomic hydrogen on hydrolysis.
Thus Q-i,ii,iv applies, but no peroxide forms.
R: gives a diatomic gas, a base and a peroxide.
Thus R-i,ii,iii,iv is correct.
S: gives S-i,ii,iv,vi, but no peroxide product.
None of the products is amphoteric.
Only option B has all its listed properties correct.
