Match Unbalanced Reactions with Missing Reagents and Conditions
Match the unbalanced chemical processes listed in List I with the appropriate missing reagent or experimental condition provided in List II, and choose the correct combination from the options below:
Options
P 4, Q 2, R 3, S 1
P 3, Q 2, R 1, S 4
P 1, Q 4, R 2, S 3
P 3, Q 4, R 2, S 1
Topics & Concepts
Step-by-Step Solution
To determine the correct matching between List I and List II, we analyze each chemical reaction in detail:
-
Reaction P: Lead dioxide () reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid () when warmed to produce lead(II) sulfate (), oxygen gas (), and water (): Hence, P matches with 3 ().
-
Reaction Q: Sodium thiosulfate () acts as an "antichlor" in aqueous solution to remove excess chlorine gas (). Chlorine oxidizes thiosulfate to sodium hydrogen sulfate (): Hence, Q matches with 4 ().
-
Reaction R: Hydrazine () is oxidized by iodine () to produce nitrogen gas () and hydrogen iodide (): Hence, R matches with 2 ().
-
Reaction S: Xenon difluoride () is a strong fluorinating agent that oxidizes nitric oxide () to nitrosyl fluoride (), while being reduced to elemental xenon (): Hence, S matches with 1 ().
Summary of Matches:
This corresponds to Option D.
