The correct statements among the following are:
i. Saline hydrides produce \( \text{H}_2 \) gas when reacted with water.
ii. Presently ~77% of the industrial dihydrogen is produced from coal.
iii. Commercially marketed \( \text{H}_2 \text{O}_2 \) contains 3% \( \text{H}_2 \text{O}_2 \).
Step 1: Statement (i) is true because saline hydrides like NaH react with water to produce hydrogen gas (\( \text{H}_2 \)).
Step 2: Statement (ii) is false because most industrial hydrogen is produced from natural gas, not coal.
Step 3: Statement (iii) is true because commercially available \( \text{H}_2 \text{O}_2 \) typically contains 3% hydrogen peroxide. Thus, the correct answer is (B) i, iii only.
The equilibrium constant for decomposition of $ H_2O $ (g) $ H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons H_2(g) + \frac{1}{2} O_2(g) \quad (\Delta G^\circ = 92.34 \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1}) $ is $ 8.0 \times 10^{-3} $ at 2300 K and total pressure at equilibrium is 1 bar. Under this condition, the degree of dissociation ($ \alpha $) of water is _____ $\times 10^{-2}$ (nearest integer value). [Assume $ \alpha $ is negligible with respect to 1]
The mass of particle X is four times the mass of particle Y. The velocity of particle Y is four times the velocity of X. The ratio of de Broglie wavelengths of X and Y is:
