In an experiment, m grams of a compound X (gas/liquid/solid) taken in a container is loaded in a balance as shown in figure I below. In the presence of a magnetic field, the pan with X is either deflected upwards (figure II), or deflected downwards (figure III), depending on the compound X. Identify the correct statement(s)

(2020)
  1. If X is H2O(l), deflection of the pan is upwards
  2. If X is K4[Fe(CN)6](s), deflection of the pan is upwards
  3. If X is O2(g), deflection of the pan is downwards
  4. If X is C6H6(l), deflection of the pan is downwards

Answer

(A) If X is H 2 O(l), deflection of the pan is upwards, (B) If X is K 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ](s), deflection of the pan is upwards, (C) If X is O 2 (g), deflection of the pan is downwards
