Correct answer: D
This is a matching-type question where we need to pair compounds from LIST-I with the reactions in LIST-II that form them. We will analyze each reaction in LIST-II to determine its products and then match them with the compounds in LIST-I.
Step 1: Analyze the reactions in LIST-II
-
(P) This reaction is used in Clark's method for removing temporary hardness of water caused by magnesium bicarbonate. The balanced chemical equation is: The products formed are Magnesium Hydroxide () and Calcium Carbonate (). So, reaction (P) can be matched with compound (II) or (IV).
-
(Q) This is a standard laboratory method for the preparation of hydrogen peroxide. Barium peroxide reacts with dilute sulfuric acid. The product of interest is Hydrogen Peroxide (). So, reaction (Q) matches with compound (I).
-
(R) This reaction involves the treatment of permanent hardness (due to ) with slaked lime. It's a precipitation reaction. The precipitate formed is Magnesium Hydroxide (). So, reaction (R) matches with compound (II).
-
(S) This is another reaction for preparing hydrogen peroxide. The balanced equation is: The products are Barium Chloride () and Hydrogen Peroxide (). So, reaction (S) can be matched with compound (III) or (I).
-
(T) This is Clark's method for removing temporary hardness due to calcium bicarbonate. The product is Calcium Carbonate (). So, reaction (T) matches with compound (IV).
Step 2: Determine the correct set of matches
Let's summarize the possible matches:
- (I) (Q), (S)
- (II) (P), (R)
- (III) (S)
- (IV) (P), (T)
We proceed by identifying the most constrained matches first.
- Compound (III), , can only be formed by reaction (S). So, the match III S is certain.
- Since reaction (S) is matched with (III), we must find another match for compound (I), . The only other option is reaction (Q). So, the match I Q is also determined.
Now we have I Q and III S. Let's examine the options:
- A: I Q; ... III S; ... (Possible)
- B: I T; ... (Incorrect)
- C: I T; ... (Incorrect)
- D: I Q; ... III S; ... (Possible)
We are left with options A and D. Let's compare them:
- Option A: I Q; II P; III S; IV R
- Option D: I Q; II R; III S; IV P
Let's check the match IV R from option A. Compound (IV) is . Reaction (R) produces , not . Therefore, option A is incorrect.
This leaves option D as the only possibility. Let's verify all matches in option D:
- I Q: Correct, produces .
- II R: Correct, produces .
- III S: Correct, produces .
- IV P: Correct, produces .
All matches in option D are chemically correct. Thus, it is the correct answer.
