Brine is electrolysed by using inert electrodes. The reaction at anode is ______.

At temperatures above 1073 K coke can be used to reduce \[\ce{FeO}\] to \[\ce{Fe}\]. How can you justify this reduction with Ellingham diagram?

Why are sulphide ores converted to oxide before reduction?

Strong reducing behaviour of \[\ce{H3PO2}\] is due to ______.

Which of the following statements are correct?

(i) \[\ce{CaF2 + H2SO4 -> CaSO4 + 2HF}\]

(ii) \[\ce{2HI + H2SO4 -> I2 + SO2 + 2H2O}\]

(iii) \[\ce{Cu + 2H2SO4 -> CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H2O}\]

(iv) \[\ce{Nacl + H2SO4 -> NaHSO4 + HCl}\]

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction showing catalytic oxidation of NH₃ by atmospheric oxygen.

Out of \[\ce{H2O}\] and \[\ce{H2S}\], which one has higher bond angle and why?

Which of the following options are correct for \[\ce{[Fe(CN)6]^{3-}}\] complex?

(i) d²sp³ hybridisation

(ii) sp³d² hybridisation

(iii) paramagnetic

(iv) diamagnetic

Magnetic moment of \[\ce{[MnCl4]^{2-}}\] is 5.92 BM. Explain giving reason.

Explain why \[\ce{[Fe(H2O)6]^{3+}}\] has magnetic moment value of 5.92 BM whereas \[\ce{[Fe(CN)6]^{3-}}\] – has a value of only 1.74 BM.

Why do compounds having similar geometry have different magnetic moment?

Assertion: \[\ce{[Fe(CN)6]^{3-}}\] ion shows magnetic moment corresponding to two unpaired electrons.

Reason: Because it has d²sp³ type hybridisation.

Which of the following compounds will give racemic mixture on nucleophilic substitution by \[\ce{OH-}\] ion?

(a) \[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{}\ce{CH3 - CH - Br}\\
\phantom{}|\\
\phantom{....}\ce{C2H5}\phantom{}
\end{array}\]

(b) \[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{..}\ce{Br}\\
\phantom{}|\\
\phantom{}\ce{CH3 - C - CH3}\\
\phantom{}|\\
\phantom{....}\ce{C2H5}\phantom{}
\end{array}\]

(c) \[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{....}\ce{CH3 - CH - CH2Br}\\
\phantom{}|\\
\phantom{....}\ce{C2H5}\phantom{}
\end{array}\]
