On addition of cone. $${H_2}S{O_4}$$ to a chloride salt, colourless fumes are evolved but in case of iodide salt, violet fumes come out. This is because
In the laboratory dinitrogen is prepared by heating an aqueous solution containing an equivalent amount of ammonium chloride and sodium nitrite.
$$N{H_4}Cl\left( {aq} \right) + NaN{O_2}\left( {aq} \right)$$ \[\xrightarrow{\text{Heat}}{{N}_{2}}\left( g \right)+2{{H}_{2}}O\left( l \right)+NaCl\]

Which one of the following reactions of xenon compounds is not feasible?
The products of the concerned reaction react each other forming back the reactants.
$$Xe{F_6} + 3{H_2}O \to Xe{O_3} + 6HF.$$

Concentrated hydrochloric acid when kept in open air sometimes produces a cloud of white fumes. The explanation for it is that
A
oxygen in air reacts with the emitted $$HCl$$ gas to forma
cloud of chlorine gas
B
strong affinity of $$HCl$$ gas for moisture in air results in
forming of droplets of liquid solution which appears like
a cloudy smoke.
C
due to strong affinity for water, concentrated
hydrochloric acid pulls moisture of air towards itself.
This moisture forms droplets of water and hence the
cloud.
D
concentrated hydrochloric acid emits strongly smelling
$$HCl$$ gas all the time.
Answer :
oxygen in air reacts with the emitted $$HCl$$ gas to forma
cloud of chlorine gas
sbond dissociation enthalpy of halogens follows the sequency as :
$$C{l_2} > Br > {F_2} > {I_2}$$
Enthalpy of dissociation decreass as the bond distance increases from $${F_2}$$ to $${I_2}$$ due to a corresponding increase in size of the atom as one move down the group from $$F$$ to $$I.$$ However, the $$F-F$$ bond dissociation enthalpy is smaller than that of $$Cl - Cl$$ ( even than that of $$Br-Br$$ ) because $$F$$ -atom is very small and hence electron-electron repulsion between the lone pairs of electrons are very large.
