2. At high temperature ortho hydrogen is more stable than fura hydrogen.
3. Temporary hardness is due to the presence of magnesium and calcium hydrogencarbonates.
4. High boiling point of water is due to hydrogen bonding.
5. The bleaching properties of H2 O2 are due to it's oxidizing properties. It acts as bleaching agent
due to the release of nascent oxygen.

12. There are three isotopes of H out of which only tritium is radioactive, which emits low energy 𝛽−
particles. Its half life is 12.33 years.
13. H2 O2 acts as oxidising agent as well as reducing agent in both acidic and basic medium.
H2 O2 acts as oxidant:
H2 O2 + 2H + + 2e− → 2H2 O (acidic medium)
H2 O2 + 2e− → 2OH − (basic medium)
H2 O2 acts as reductant:-
H2 O2 → 2H + + O2 + 2e− (acidic medium)
H2 O2 + 2OH − → 2H2 O + O2 + 2e− (basic medium)

18. To obtain H2 of high purity (> 99.95% ) electrolysis of Ba(OH)2 solution is done using Ni
electrodes
20. Na6 (PO3 )6 or Na6 P6 O18
Order of abundance of element in earth crust is
O > Si > Al > Fe > Ca > Na > Mg > K
So second most abundant element in earth crust is Si not Ca.
22. Atomic hydrogen is produced at high temperature in an electric are or under ultraviolet radiations
The dissociation of dihydrogen at 2000 K is only 0.081%.
H − H bond dissociation enthalpy is highest for a single bond for any diatomic molecule.
Dihydrogen can be produced on reacting Zn with dil. HCl as well as NaOH (aq.)
23. The process of producing syn-gas from coal is called gasification of coal.

24. Pure demineralised (de-ionized) water free from all soluble mineral salts is obtained by passing
water successively through a cation exchange (in the H form) and an anion exchange (in the
OH − form) resins.
25. Clark's Method Reaction
Ca(HCO3 )2 + Ca(OH)2 → 2CaCO3 + 2H2 O
Mg(HCO3 )2 + 2Ca(OH)2 → 2CaCO3 + Mg(OH)2 + 2H2 O
26. In option (A) and (C) reducing action of hydrogen peroxide is shown.
In option (A) it is in acidic medium, in option (B) it is in basic medium.
or
For reducing ability H2 O2 changes to O2 , i.e. oxidize, so in option 'A' & ' C ′ O2 is formed but 'A' is in
acidic medium so option - C correct.
27. Ice > Liquid water > Impure water
Due to impurity extent of H-Bonding decreases
29. (K 2 S2 O8 ( s) + 2D2 O(l) → 2KDSO4 (aq. ) + D2 O2
30. According to bent rule more electronegative atom occupy less s-characters so bond length
increases. O − H bond will be short than O − F bond due to small size of H than F.
