Read the given passage and fill in the blanks by choosing an appropriate option.
The molar ratio of `CO_(2)` and `H_(2)O` produced by the combustion of one mole of hydrocarbon `ul(" (i) ")` is `5 : 4`. The succeeding homologue of (i) is `ul(" (ii) ")` while preceding homologue is `ul(" (iii) ")`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`C_(x)H_(y)+(x+(y)/(4))O_(2) to xCO_(2)+(y)/(2)H_(2)O`
`CO_(2):H_(2)O =(x)/((y)/(2))=(5)/(4)`
`rArr (x)/(y)=(5)/(8)`
`rArr` Compound is `C_(5)H_(8)`.
Succeeding homologue is `C_(6)H_(10)`.
Preceding homologue is `C_(4)H_(6)`.

Read the given passage and fill in the blanks by selecting an appropriate option. Bleaching powder is a ul(" (i) ") powder. When exposed to air, it reacts with ul(" (ii) ") of the air to liberate Cl_(2) gas. It is ul(" (iii) ") in cold water and milkiness of the solution is due to presence of unreacted ul(" (iv) ") . It reacts with HCl and H_(2)SO_(4) liberating ul(" (v) ") gas.

Read the given passage and fill in the blanks by choosing an appropriate option. When a mixture of two ul(" (i) ") liquids having a difference of 25^(@)C in their boiling points is to be separated, a ul(" (ii) ") is used which increases the ul(" (iii) ") surface area. As a result, when the vapours of both the liquids rise, the ul(" (iv) ") volatile liquid will condense while the vapours of ul(" (v) ") volatile liquid will rise.

Read the given passage carefully and fill in the blanks by selecting an appropriate option. Oxides of ul(" (i) ") are reduced to their respective metals by heating with coke and the process is called ul(" (ii) ") . Before carrying out reduction with carbon, if the calcined or roasted ore still contains infusible impurities of earthy matter, called ul(" (iii) ") , an additional substance, called ul(" (iv) ") is added which combines with (iii) to form a fusible material, called ul(" (v) ") .
