(B) MgO

(C) Al2O3

(D) CuO
Q7: Which of the following oxides is most basic?
(A) Na2O

(B) MgO

(C) Al2O3

(D) CuO

Solution:

Na2O is the most basic

Basicity of oxides decreases when you move across a period hence 

Na2O > MgO > Al2O3 > CuO (Basicity order) 

Q8: Which of the following compound is most acidic?
(A) Cl2O7

(B) P4O10

(C) SO3

(D) B2O3
Q8: Which of the following compound is most acidic?
(A) Cl2O7

(B) P4O10

Solution:

Acidic nature of oxides increases across a group

Hence, Cl2O7 > SO3 > P4O10 > B2O3 (Acidic oxide)
Q9: Which of the following statements are correct?
(1) HF is a stronger acid than HCI.

Q9: Which of the following statements are correct?
(1) HF is a stronger acid than HCI.
(2) among halide ions, iodide is the most powerful reducing agent.
(3) uorine is the only halogen that does not show a variable oxidation state.
(4) HOCI is a stronger acid than HOBr.
(A) 2 and 4

(B) 2 and 3

(C) 1, 2 and 3

(D) 2, 3 and 4

Solution:

HF is not a stronger acid than HCI because HF bond is stronger than HCl, therefore it does not donate hydrogen easily
as is done in the case of HCI.

Reducing nature increases down the group for halogen. Fluorine can attain only one oxidation state -1. Cl is more
electronegativity than Br, hence HOCl is more acidic than HOBr.
