Q.11 One gas bleaches the colour of flowers by reduction, while the other by oxidation, the two respective
gases are:
(A) CO and Cl2 (B) H2S and Br2 (C) NH3 and SO3 (D*) SO2 and Cl2
[Sol. Aqueous solution of SO2 acts as a reducing agent

hydrogen
Thus SO2 in presence of moisture is used as bleaching agent. This is due to the reducing nature
of SO2. For delicate articles
coloured matter + H — colourless matter
Similarly, Cl2 acts as bleaching agent in presence of moisture
Cl2 + H2O — 2HCl + [O]
coloured matter + [O] — colourless matter ]

Q.18 Only iodine forms hepta-fluoride IF7, but chlorine and bromine give penta-fluorides. The reason for
this is
(A) low electron affinity of iodine
(B) unusual pentagonal bipyramidal structure of IF7
(C*) that the larger iodine atom can accommodate more number of smaller fluorine atom around it
(D) low chemical reactivity of IF7
[Sol. Due to large size of iodine atom it can accommodate upto seven small fluorine atoms around it
while due to smaller sizes of chlorine & bromine atoms they do not accommodate seven fluorine
atoms ie steric factor dominate in case of chlorine & bromine.]

[Sol.(a) (F); As the sizeof halogen atom increases crowding on Si atom will increase, hence tendency
of attack of Lewis base decreases.
(b) (T); M.P. of NH3 is highest due to intermolecular H–bonding in it.
Next lower M.P. will be of SbH3 followed by AsH3 due to high mol. wt. of SbH3
(c) (F); M.P. & B.P. of increase from PH3 to SbH3 via AsH3 due to increase in mol. wt. NH3 does not
follow this trend due to inter molecular H–bonding.
