What inspired N. Bartlett for carrying out reaction between Xe and PtF6?
N. Bartlett observed that PtF6 reacts with O2to give an compound O2+ [PtF6]–.
PtF6 (g) + O2 (g) ——–>O2+[PtF6]–
Since the first ionization enthalpy of Xe (1170 kJ mol-1 )is fairly close to that of 02 molecule (1175 kJ mol-1 ), he thought that PtF6 should also oxidise Xe to Xe+. This inspired Bartlett to carryout the reaction between Xe and PtF6. When PtF6 and Xe were made to react, a rapid reaction took place and a red solid, Xe+[PtF6]– was obtained.

(a) It acts as a bleaching agent in moist conditions.
(b) Its molecule has a linear geometry.
(c) Its dilute solution is used as disinfectant.
(d) It can be prepared by the reaction of dilute H2SO4 with metal sulphide.
Assertion (A): HI cannot be prepared by the reaction of KI with concentrated H2SO4.

What happens when sulp’hur dioxide is passed through an aqueous solution of Fe(III) salt?
How is nitrogen prepared in the laboratory? Write the chemical equations of the reactions . involved.
On reaction with Cl2, phosphorus forms two types of halides ‘A' and ‘B'. Halide A is yellowish-white powder but halide B' is colourless oily liquid. Identify A and B and write the formulas of their hydrolysis products.
Name three oxoacids of nitrogen. Write the disproportionation reaction of that oxoacid of nitrogen in which nitrogen is in +3 oxidation state.
Assertion (A): HNO3 makes from passive.
Reason (R): HNO3 forms a protective layer of ferric nitrate on the surface of iron.
Assertion (A): NaCl reacts with concentrated H2SO4 to give colourless fumes with pungent smell. But on adding MnO2 the fumes become greenish yellow.
Reason (R): MnO2 oxidises HCl to chlorine gas which is greenish yellow.
An amorphous solid "A"bums in air to form a gas "B"which turns lime water milky. The gas is also produced as a by-product during roasting of sulphide ore. This gas decolourises acidified aqueous KMnO4 solution and reduces Fe3+ to Fe+2. Identify the solid "A"and the gas "B"and write the reactions involved.
