1. A metal hydroxide which is unsoluble in caustic but soluble in
excess of NH,OH is
K,M,0, Orange
Identify the metal
(b) Mn
(a) Fe
(c) Cr (d) Ni
Ans. (c) Cr
As, per the colours given in the table, the metal "M' is Cr.
(d) it does not react with either dil. HCI or dil. NaOH
Ans. (c) its reaction with both dil. HCI and dil. NaOH
Zinc (Zn) shows amphoteric behaviour with dil., HCl and dil. NaOH,
as it reacts with both as follows.
) Zn +HCI(dil.) ZnClh+ H2
(i) Zn +2NaOH(dil.) NazZnO, + H2
4. Which of the following hydroxide is soluble in exeess of NaOH?
(a) Cr(OH) (b) Ca(OH)
() Zn(OH (d) FefOH)
Ans. (c) n(OH)2
When Zn(OH), is added in excess of NaOH solution, it dissolved in
that due to formation of soluble zincate ions.
(soluble sal)
Zn{OH), is amphoteric, so it reacts as an acid with the base to give
a soluble complex.
5. A colourless gas having pungent irritating odour gives dense
while fumes with cone. HCl and turns Nessler's reagent brown.
The colourless gas is
(a) (b) NH
(c) NH,CI (d) Ch
Ans. (b) NH3
Nessler's reagent is prepared by combining potassium iodide and
mercuric chloride. It is used to test presence of NH3 or NH4" ions.
NH2

NH,CL
NH3(g) +HCI NH,CI
It has irritating odour also.
Hence, the given gas is NH3.
