Question

Chlorine reacts with hot and concentrated NaOH and produces compounds (x) and (Y) Compound (gives white precipitate with silver nitrate solution
The average bond order between Cland O atoms in (Y) is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

A

1.66

6NaOH+3Cl

2

→5NaCl+NaClO

3

+3H

2

O

(X) (Y)

NaCl+AgNO

3

→AgCl

(s)

↓+NaNO

3

White ppt

(Y) is NaClO

3

structure

Refer image.

Bond order (B.O)= Valency of the peripheral atom +(charge on acid radical/Total number of peripheral atoms)

Valency of peripherical oxygen atom =2

Charge on acid radical =−1

Total number of peripheral atom =3

∴B.O=2.0+(−1/3)

=1.66≃2

solution

Answer 2

Answer:

6NaOH+3Cl2

→5NaCl+NaClO 3+3H2O

(X) (Y)

NaCl+AAgNO →AgCl (s) ↓+NaNO3

White ppt(Y) is NaClO 3
