HCl is a gas but HF is a low boiling liquid .This is because :
H-F bond is strong
H-F bond is weak
molecules aggregate because of hydrogen bonding
HF is a weak acid
Ostwald process is used for the manufacture of :
nitric acid
sulphuric acid
ammonia
bleaching powder
Which is correct order of solubility in water?
Ba(OH)2 <Mg(OH)2
BaCO3> CaCO3
CaSO4 <MgSO4
Ca(OH)2Mg(OH)2
C.
CaSO4 <MgSO4
MgSO4 is readily soluble in water. The solubility of the sulphates of alkaline earth metals decrease with increase in size of the central metal ion. The greater hydration enthalpies of Mg2+ ions overcome the lattice enthalpy factor and therefore MgSO4 is more soluble in water.
Assertion : H3PO2 has strong reducing property but H3PO4 does not.
Reason : P-OH bond present in H3PO4.

If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion : H2Se is less acidic than H2S.
Reason : S is less electronegative than Se.

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
