Question:
A black powder when heated with cone. $HCl$ gives a greenish yellow gas. The gas acts as an oxidising and a bleaching agent. When it is passed over slaked lime, a white powder is formed which is a ready source of gas. The black powder and white powder respectively are

- $KCIO_3$ and $NaClO_3$
- $MnO_2$ and $Ca(OCl)_2$
- $MnO_2$ and $KClO_3$
- $MnCl_4$ and $COCl_2$

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
$\underset{\text{Black powder}}{ {MnO2}}+$ $\underset{\text{(conc.)}}{ {4HCl}}$$ {-> MnCl2 +2H2O +}$ $\underset{\text{Greenish yellow gas}}{ {Cl2}}$
$ {Cl2 +H2O \to 2HCl +[O]}$
Coloured matter $ {+[O] ->}$ Colourless matter
$\underset{\text{Slaked lime}}{ {2Ca(OH)2}}+ {2Cl2 ->}$ $\underset{\text{Bleaching powder
(white)}}{ {Ca(OCl)2}}+$ $ {CaCl2 +2H2O}$

P-Block Elements
- P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
- P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.
P block elements consist of:
- Group 13 Elements: Boron family
- Group 14 Elements: Carbon family
- Group 15 Elements: Nitrogen family
- Group 16 Elements: Oxygen family
- Group 17 Elements: Fluorine family
- Group 18 Elements: Neon family
