JEE Advanced 2019 — Paper 2 — Question 15

Consider the following reactions (unbalanced)

Zn+hot conc. H2SO4⟶G+R+X\text{Zn} + \text{hot conc. } \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \longrightarrow \text{G} + \text{R} + \text{X} Zn+conc. NaOH⟶T+Q\text{Zn} + \text{conc. NaOH} \longrightarrow \text{T} + \text{Q} G+H2S+NH4OH⟶Z (a precipitate)+X+Y\text{G} + \text{H}_2\text{S} + \text{NH}_4\text{OH} \longrightarrow \text{Z (a precipitate)} + \text{X} + \text{Y}

Choose the correct option(s)

  1. Option A:

    The oxidation state of Zn in T is +1

  2. Option B:

    R is a V -shaped molecule

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    Z is dirty white in colour

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    Bond order of Q is 1 in its ground state

    Correct

Answer: B, C, D

Step-by-step solution

Zn+H2SO4hot, conc.⟶ZnSO4(G)+SO2(R)+H2O(X)\mathrm{Zn} + \underset{\text{hot, conc.}}{\mathrm{H_2SO_4}} \longrightarrow \underset{(G)}{\mathrm{ZnSO_4}} + \underset{(R)}{\mathrm{SO_2}} + \underset{(X)}{\mathrm{H_2O}} Zn+conc. NaOH⟶Na2ZnO2(T)+H2(Q)\text{Zn} + \text{conc. NaOH} \longrightarrow \underset{\text{(T)}}{\text{Na}_2\text{ZnO}_2} + \underset{\text{(Q)}}{\text{H}_2} ZnSO4(G)+H2S+2NH4OH(aq.)⟶ZnS↓(Z)+(NH4)2SO4(Y)+2H2O(X)\underset{\text{(G)}}{\text{ZnSO}_4} + \text{H}_2\text{S} + 2\text{NH}_4\text{OH(aq.)} \longrightarrow \underset{\text{(Z)}}{\text{ZnS} \downarrow} + \underset{\text{(Y)}}{(\text{NH}_4)_2\text{SO}_4} + 2\underset{\text{(X)}}{\text{H}_2\text{O}}
