C

Ca

D

Na

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Calcium is present in soil, plants, bones, egg, shell, sea shell, coral etc.
It is used to remove `O_2` from molten steel. `Ca(OH)_2` as lime water is used to detect `CO_2`.

When an object made of metal A is kept in air for a considerable time, it loses its shine and becomes almost black due to the formation fo a layer of substance B. when an object made of another metal C is kept in damp air for a considerable time, it gets covered with a green layer of substance D. Metal A is the best conductor of electricity whereas metal C is the next best conductor of electricity. (a) What is metal A? (b) What is metal C? (c) name the substance B. (d) name the substance D. (e) What type of chemcial can be used to remove the green layer from metal C and clean it? Why?

A metallic sphere of radius R has been charged to a potential of V = 100 volt. A thin hemispherical conducting shell has dimensions so that it can just fit on the half of the metallic sphere. The shell is originally grounded. Now, using an insulating handle, it is placed on top of the charged sphere so as to perfectly cover its top half. The shell is removed from the sphere and again grounded. After this the shell is again placed on the sphere, removed and then grounded. The process is continued till the potential of the sphere becomes V' = 6.25 volt. How many times the shell was placed on the sphere?

The colours of the transition metal are due to d-d excitation. The energy required for d-d electron axcitation is available in the visible range. Transition metal ions have the tendency to absorb certain rediations from the visible region and exhibit the complementary colour. The transition metal ions which have completely filled d-orbitals are colourless as the excitation of electron or electrons is not possible within d-orbitals. The transition metal ions which have completely empthy d-orbitals are also colourless. In KMnO_4 and K_2Cr_2O_7 , there are no unpaired electrons at the central atom but they are dep in colour. The colour of these compounds is due to charge transfer spectrum. for example in MnO_4 electron is momentrily transferred from O to the metal and thuys oxygen changes from O^(2-) and O^(ɵ) maganese from Mn^(7+) to Mn^(6+) . Q. Which of the following is paramagnetic as well as coloured ion?
