The sBlock Elements - Result Question 34

####40. All the following substances react with water. The pair that gives the same gaseous product is

[1994]

(a) K and KO2

(b) Na and Na2O2

(c) Ca and CaH2

(d) Ba and BaO2

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c) Ca and CaH2 both react with water to form H2 gas,

Ca+2H2OCa(OH)2+H2

CaH2+2H2OCa(OH)2+2H2

whereas

K gives H2 while KO2 gives O2 and H2O2

2K+2H2O2KOH+H2

2KO2+2H2O2KOH+O2+H2O2

2KO2+2H2O2KOH+O2+H2O2

Similarly, Na gives H2 while Na2O2 gives H2O2

2Na+2H2O2NaOH+H2

Na2O2+2H2O2NaOH+H2O2

Also, Ba gives H2 while BaO2 gives H2O2

Ba+2H2OBa(OH)2+H2

BaO2+2H2OBa(OH)2+H2O2
