(ii) Which of the following elements in (a)(i) above reacts with sodium hydroxide to give hydrogen?

 

(b) What property of tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid does each of the following reactions illustrate?

(I) S + 2H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) ---> 3SO\(_4\) + 2H\(_2\)O

(ii) MgO + H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) ---> MgSO\(_4\) + H\(_2\)O

(iii) C\(_{12}\)H\(_{22}\)C\(_{11}\) + H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) ---> 12C + H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) + 11H\(_2\)O

Explanation

(a) In increasing order of reactivity

(i) Lead < Iron < Aluminium < Magnesium OR Magnesium > Aluminium > Iron > Lead.

(ii) Give H\(_2\) with NaOH, Aluminium and lead

 

(b) H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) behaves as

(i) oxidising agent in reaction with S

(ii) typical acid (neutralisation) in reaction with MgO

(iii) dehydrating agent in reacticn with Cl\(_2\)H\(_{22}\)O\(_{11}\).
