Which of the following statements is/are correct?

A

Chloropicrin `(C Cl_(3).NO_(2))` can made cheapy for use as an insectide by the following reaction:
`CH_(3) NO_(2) + Cl_(2) rarr C Cl_(3) NO_(2) + HCl`

B

In a rocket motor fueled with butane `(C_(4) H_(10))`, 0.1 mol of butane requires `14.56 L` of `O_(2)` at `STP` for complete combustion.

C

A portable hydrogen generator utilises the reaction:
`(CaH_(2) + H_(2)O rarr Ca (OH)_(2) + H_(2)), 2.1 g "of" CaH_(2)` would produce `2.24 L` "of" `H_(2)` at `STP`

D

In the Mond process for purifying nickel, the volatile nickel carbonyl `[Ni(CO)_(4)]` is produced by the reaction. `Ni + Co rarr Ni (CO)_(4). 58.8 7g` of `Ni` utilises `89.6 L` of `CO` at standard conditions.

The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements regarding chloropicrin, butane combustion, hydrogen generation, and the Mons process for nickel purification are correct, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A:** "Chloropicrin can be made cheaply for use as an insecticide by the following reaction." 1. **Identify the reactants:** The reaction involves CH3NO2 and Cl2. 2. **Determine the mechanism:** The reaction is expected to proceed via a free radical mechanism. 3. **Assess the stability of the free radical:** The free radical formed from CH3NO2 is unstable due to the -I (inductive) effect of the nitro group (NO2), which increases positive charge density on the carbon, making the radical less stable. 4. **Conclusion:** Since the free radical is unstable, chloropicrin cannot be formed from this reaction. Thus, **Statement A is false.** ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B **Statement B:** "In a rocket motor fuel with butane, 0.1 mole of butane requires 14.56 moles of O2 at Hgp for complete combustion." 1. **Write the balanced equation for combustion of butane (C4H10):** \[ C_4H_{10} + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O \] 2. **Balance the equation:** - Carbon: 4 CO2 - Hydrogen: 5 H2O - Total O2 needed: 4 (from CO2) + 5/2 (from H2O) = 13/2 3. **Calculate O2 required for 0.1 mole of butane:** \[ O_2 = 0.1 \times \frac{13}{2} = 0.65 \text{ moles} \] 4. **Convert moles of O2 to liters at STP:** \[ \text{Volume of } O_2 = 0.65 \times 22.4 \text{ L} = 14.56 \text{ L} \] 5. **Conclusion:** **Statement B is correct.** ### Step 3: Analyze Statement C **Statement C:** "A portable hydrogen generator utilizes the reaction of calcium hydride (CaH2) with water." 1. **Write the balanced reaction:** \[ CaH_2 + 2H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)_2 + H_2 \] 2. **Determine moles of CaH2 from given mass (2.1 g):** - Molar mass of CaH2 = 42 g/mol \[ \text{Moles of } CaH_2 = \frac{2.1}{42} = 0.05 \text{ moles} \] 3. **Calculate moles of H2 produced:** \[ \text{Moles of } H_2 = 2 \times 0.05 = 0.1 \text{ moles} \] 4. **Convert moles of H2 to volume at STP:** \[ \text{Volume of } H_2 = 0.1 \times 22.4 \text{ L} = 2.24 \text{ L} \] 5. **Conclusion:** **Statement C is correct.** ### Step 4: Analyze Statement D **Statement D:** "In the Mons process for purifying nickel, 58.587 grams of nickel utilizes 89.96 grams of carbon monoxide." 1. **Write the reaction for the Mons process:** \[ Ni + 4CO \rightarrow Ni(CO)_4 \] 2. **Calculate moles of nickel:** - Molar mass of Ni = 58.69 g/mol \[ \text{Moles of Ni} = \frac{58.587}{58.69} \approx 1 \text{ mole} \] 3. **Determine moles of CO required:** \[ \text{Moles of CO} = 4 \times 1 = 4 \text{ moles} \] 4. **Convert moles of CO to grams:** - Molar mass of CO = 28 g/mol \[ \text{Mass of CO} = 4 \times 28 = 112 \text{ g} \] 5. **Conclusion:** The statement claims 89.96 g is required, which is incorrect. **Statement D is false.** ### Final Conclusion - **Correct Statements:** B and C - **Incorrect Statements:** A and D ### Summary of Correctness - **A:** Incorrect - **B:** Correct - **C:** Correct - **D:** Incorrect

To determine which of the statements regarding chloropicrin, butane combustion, hydrogen generation, and the Mons process for nickel purification are correct, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A:** "Chloropicrin can be made cheaply for use as an insecticide by the following reaction." 1. **Identify the reactants:** The reaction involves CH3NO2 and Cl2. 2. **Determine the mechanism:** The reaction is expected to proceed via a free radical mechanism. 3. **Assess the stability of the free radical:** The free radical formed from CH3NO2 is unstable due to the -I (inductive) effect of the nitro group (NO2), which increases positive charge density on the carbon, making the radical less stable. ...
