Comprehensive chapter breakdown covering core theoretical principles, foundational laws, and structured step-by-step problem-solving methods strictly aligned with the updated 2026-27 curriculum.
JEE Main 2027 Engineering Focus: High-Yield Problem Solving & Negative Marking Defense
- Session 1 Registration Timeline: Registration for JEE Main 2027 Session 1 opens in November on jeemain.nta.nic.in. January exam performance sets your prime percentile baseline.
- Negative Marking Safeguard (-1): Eliminate blind guesswork. Prioritize question selection, dimensional checks, and options elimination to maximize net marks.
- Multi-Concept Problem Linkages: JEE questions integrate multiple domains (e.g. Calculus with Mechanics, or Thermodynamics with Equilibrium) into single composite problems.
- Timed Shift PYQ Practice: Solve at least 15-20 recent shift questions (2021-2026) under a strict 2.5-minute timer per numerical/MCQ.

Correct Answer: (c)
Explanation: For the preparation of sodium carbonate by Solvay process, raw materials used are $\mathrm{NaCl}, \mathrm{NH}_3$ and $\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2$ (for $\mathrm{CO}_2$ ). The process involves the following reactions. $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{NH}_3+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CO}_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_3 \\ & \mathrm{CaCO}_3 \xrightarrow{\Delta} \mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{CO}_2 \end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{HCO}_3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{NaHCO}_3+\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl} \\ & \mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2 \\ & 2 \mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaCl}_2+2 \mathrm{NH}_3+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \\ & 2 \mathrm{NaHCO}_3 \xrightarrow{\Delta} \mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CO}_2 \end{aligned}$ Most of the $\mathrm{NH}_3$ can be recovered in the process.

Correct Answer: (a)
Explanation: Alkali metals belong to Group 1, so they have valency $+1$. Halogens form halide ions with valency $-1$, represented as $X^-$. So an alkali metal ion $M^+$ combines with one halide ion $X^-$ in a $1:1$ ratio: $ M^+ + X^- \rightarrow MX $ So the general formula of halide salts of alkali metals is: $ \text{MX} $ The correct option is **Option A: $\text{MX}$**.

Correct Answer: (c)
Explanation: When **alkaline earth metals** are dissolved in **liquid ammonia**, the solution develops a **deep blue black** colour. So, the correct answer is: $ \text{Option C: Deep blue black} $ Reason: In liquid ammonia, the metal dissolves to give **solvated electrons**. These solvated electrons are responsible for the **deep blue colour** of the solution. With higher concentration, it appears **deep blue black**. Thus, $ \boxed{\text{Deep blue black}} $
