Question

On reaction of Lead Sulphide with dilute nitric acid which of the following is not formed?

Options
  1. a

    Nitric oxide

  2. b

    Nitrous oxide

  3. c

    Lead nitrate

  4. d

    Sulphur

Correct Answerb

Nitrous oxide

Detailed Solution

Strategy: Relate intermolecular forces and molecular mass to physical states of noble gases.

Step 1: Properties Noble gases are monoatomic and exhibit very weak dispersion forces. As the size of the atom increases (from \ceHe\ce{He} to \ceRn\ce{Rn}), the polarizability increases, leading to relatively stronger (though still weak) London forces.

Step 2: Conclusion Matching the trend in boiling points or solubility provides the correct response.
