Q 33 :

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Aqueous solution of K2Cr2O7 is preferred as primary standard in volumetric analysis over Na2Cr2O7 aqueous solution.

Statement II: K2Cr2O7 has a higher solubility in water than Na2Cr2O7.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:                [2023]

  • Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

     

  • Both Statement I and Statement II are false.

     

  • Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

     

  • Statement I is false but Statement II is true.

     

(1)

(I) Potassium dichromate is used as a primary standard in volumetric analysis.

(II) K2Cr2O7 is less soluble in water than Na2Cr2O7. Sodium salt has a greater solubility in water and is extensively used as an oxidising agent in organic chemistry.



Q 34 :

Prolonged heating is avoided during the preparation of ferrous ammonium sulphate to               [2023]

  • prevent breaking

     

  • prevent reduction

     

  • prevent oxidation

     

  • prevent hydrolysis

     

(3)

On prolonged heating some ferrous ions (Fe+2) oxidised to ferric ions (Fe+3). So in solution, ferrous ammonium sulphate present with some ferric ion (Fe+3) and therefore, prolonged heating avoided.
