Excess of KI reacts with CuSO4 solution and then Na2S2O3 solution is added to it. Which of the statements is incorrect for this reaction?

  • Cu2I2 is reduced

  • Evolved I2 is reduced

  • Na2S2O3 is oxidized

  • CuI2 is formed

Solution

D.

CuI2 is formed

CuSO4 + 2KI → Cul2 + I2 
Thus Cul2 is not formed.

Question

Heating mixture of Cu2O and Cu2S will give

  • Cu + SO2

  • Cu + SO3

  • CuO + CuS

  • Cu2SO3

Solution

A.

Cu + SO2

2Cu2O + Cu2S → 6Cu + SO2

In the context of the Hall-Heroult process for the extraction of Al, which of the following statements is false?

  • CO and CO2 are produced in this process

  • Al2O3 is mixed with CaF2 which lowers the melting point of the mixture and brings conductivity

  • Al3+ is reduced at the cathode to form Al

  • Na3AlF6 serves as the electrolyte

Solution

D.

Na3AlF6 serves as the electrolyte

Question
CBSEENCH12010657

The metal that cannot be obtained by electrolysis of an aqueous solution of its salts is

  • Ag

  • Ca

  • Cu

  • Cr

Solution

C.

Cu

Higher the position of the element in electrochemical series more difficult is the reduction of its cations.
 If Ca2+ (aq) is electrolyzed, water is reduced in preference to it. Hence, It cannot be reduced electrically from their aqueous solution.
Ca2+ (aq) + H2O → Ca2+ +OH- +H2
