5 g of a sample of bleaching powder is treated with excess acetic acid and KI solution. The liberated

{\mathrm{I}_2}

required 50 mL of

N/10

hypo. The percentage of available chlorine in the sample is :

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

3.55

Option A (3.55) is correct because the percentage of available chlorine is calculated based on the stoichiometry of the reaction and the amount of hypo used.

The oxidation number of

\mathrm{H}

in sodium hydride is A reagent, which can decrease the oxidation number of an element, is called Consider the following decomposition reaction

2 \mathrm{KClO}_3 \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{KCl}+3 \mathrm{O}_2

In the above reaction, Assertion (A):

\mathrm{HNO}_3

acts as oxidizing agent.

Reason (R): Oxidation no. of nitrogen is +5, no increase in oxidation no. beyond +5 can occur. The oxidation no. of

\mathrm{HNO}_3

can only decrease. Assertion :- Bromide ion is serving as a reducing agent in the reaction.

\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Br}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{MnO}_2(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{BrO}_3^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})

Reason :- Oxidation number of
