- B the neutralization of aluminate solution by passing gas to precipitate hydrated alumina .
- C the dissolution of in hot aqueous .
- D the electrolysis of mixed with to give and .
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) the neutralization of aluminate solution by passing gas to precipitate hydrated alumina .
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) The reduction of with coke at a temperature is not carried out due to the formation of carbides. (B) It is correct as neutralisation of aluminate solution is done by passing gas to precipitate hydrated alumina.

- Statement I Micelles are formed by surfactant molecules above the critical micellar concentration (CMC).
Statement II The conductivity of a solution having surfactant molecules deceases sharply at the CMC.JEE Advanced 2007 Easy - At \(298 \mathrm{~K}\), the limiting molar conductivity of a weak monobasic acid is \(4 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{2} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\). At \(298 \mathrm{~K}\), for an aqueous solution of the acid the degree of dissociation is \(\boldsymbol{\alpha}\) and the molar conductivity is \(\mathbf{y} \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{2} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\). At \(298 \mathrm{~K}\), upon 20 times dilution with water, the molar conductivity of the solution becomes \(3 \mathbf{y} \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{2} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)

- Paragraph:
In hexagonal system of crystals, a frequently encountered arrangement of atoms is described as a hexagonal prism. Here, the top and bottom of the cell are regular hexagons and three atoms are sandwiched in between them. A space-filling model of this structure, called hexagonal close-packed (HCP), is constituted of a sphere on a flat surface surrounded in the same plane by six identical spheres as closely as possible. Three spheres are then placed over the first layer so that they touch each other and represent the second layer. Each one of the three spheres touches three spheres of the bottom layer. Finally, the second layer is covered with a third layer that is identical to the bottom layer in relative position. Assume radius of every sphere to be ' \(r\) '.
Question:
The empty space in this \(\mathrm{HCP}\) unit cell isJEE Advanced 2008 Medium
