Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals (s-Block Elements)

(Group 1 Elements: Alkali Metals; Group 2 Elements: Alkaline Earth Metals)

Solutions of Chemistry Test Series (MCQ) – Set 2 (Q. No.11–20)

https://www.indiastudysolution.com

Answer 11: a. Answer 12: a. Answer 13: c.

Answer 14: a. (Hint: NaNO₃ is not used as gun powder because it is hygroscopic in nature and becomes wet by absorbing water molecules from the atmosphere).

Answer 15: d.

Answer 16: c. (Hint: Down the group the change in lattice energy is more than that of hydration energy).

Answer 17: b. Answer 18: d.

Answer 19: d. (Hint: When Na₂O₂ is added to water, the peroxide ion serves as a Bronsted base. The reaction takes place as –

Na₂O₂ + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂O₂

O₂^2- ion accepts protons in this reaction hence it behaves as a Bronsted Base.

Therefore, (D) option is correct).

Answer 20: a.
