Aqueous solution of AlCl₃ is acidic towards litmus while of NaCl is not. The correct reason behind this is

• AlCl₃, furnishes OH^- ion in the solution

• AlCl₃, furnishes H⁺ ion in the solution

• AlCl₃, furnishes both H⁺ well as OH^- ion in the solution

• AlCl₃, is the salt of strong base and strong acid

The melting point of solid substances is directly proportional to pressure acting on them. However, ice-melts at a temperature lower than its usual melting point, when the pressure increases. This is because

• ice is not a true solid

• the bonds break under pressure

• ice is less denser than water

• pressure generates heat

100 mL of a solution contains 2 g of acetic acid and 3g of sodium acetate providing K_a =1.8 x 10^-5 , then choose the correct option.

• This solution is basic in nature

• This solution is acidic in nature

• This solution is amphoteric in nature

• This solution is neutral in nature

Both Mg and Fe metal can reduce copper from a solution having Cu²⁺ ion, according to equilibria.

Mg_(s) + Cu²⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ Mg²⁺ + Cu_(s); K₁ = 6 x 10⁹⁰

Fe_(s) + Cu²⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ Fe²⁺ + Cu_(s); K₂ = 3 x 10²⁶

Choose the correct option regarding above equilibrium

• Mg removes more Cu²⁺ from solution

• Fe removes more Cu²⁺ from solution

• Both will equally remove Cu²⁺ from solution

• Both metals cannot remove Cu²⁺ from solution
