A brown-coloured mixture of two gases is obtained by reducing 6 N nitric acid with metallic copper. This mixture on cooling condenses to a blue liquid which on freezing (-30 oC) gives a blue solid. The correct statement for the blue liquid or solid is:
1. | It is referred to as the anhydride of nitrous acid. |
2. | It is an acidic oxide. Hence, it dissolves in alkalies producing nitrites. |
3. | It can also be prepared by the action of 50 % HNO3 on arsenious oxide and then cooling to 250 K. |
4. | All of the above. |
Which of the following statements is false?
1. | Nitrous oxide supports combustion more vigorously than air. |
2. | Phosphorous pentaoxide dehydrates nitric acid-forming nitrogen pentaoxide. |
3. | Reactivity order of various allotropic forms of phosphorous is white > red > black. |
4. | Red phosphorous changes to white phosphorus on heating in the atmosphere of CO 2 or coal gas at 573 K. |

Why does fluorine not produce oxyacids?
1. It is most electronegative
2. It is the most powerful oxidising agent
3. It has vacant d- orbitals
4. None of the above
The correct statement regarding H3PO3 is:
1. Each hydrogen atom is attached to oxygen.
2. Two hydrogen atoms are attached to oxygen atoms.
3. One atom of H is attached to oxygen.
4. None of the above.
In the nitrogen family, the H-M-H bond angle in the hybrides MH3 gradually becomes closer to 90o if we move from N to Sb. This shows that gradually
1. | The basic strength of hybrides increases. |
2. | Pure p-orbitals (almost) are used for M-H bonding. |
3. | The bond energies of the M-H bond increase. |
4. | The bond pairs of electrons become nearer to the central atom. |
