Water possesses a high dielectric constant, therefore:
it always contains ions
it is a universal solvent
can dissolve covalent compounds
can conduct electricity
The value of the ionic product of water depends:
on volume of water
on temperature
changes by adding acid or alkali
always remain constant
In a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, combustion of hydrogen occurs to
generate heat
create potential difference between the two electrodes
produce high purity water
remove adsorbed oxygen from electrode surfaces
Which one of the following will dissolve in water most readily?
I2
BaCO3
KF
PbI2
C.
KF
All the alkali halides except lithium fluoride are freely soluble in water. I2 (non-polar) is least soluble in water. Group IIA carbonates (BaCO3) are insoluble in water. PbI2 is sparingly soluble in cold water but quite soluble in hot water. KF (most polar) is most readily soluble in water.
The compound that can work both as an oxidising as well as reducing agent is
KMnO2
H2O2
Fe2(SO4)3
K2Cr2O7
Which one of the following is not a method to remove permanent hardness of water?
Clark's method
Calgon method
Ion- exchange method
Synthetic resins methods
Reaction of calgon with hard water containing Ca2+ ions produce
[Na2CaP6O18]2-
CaCO3
CaSO4
Ca2(PO4)3
