A compound contains atoms A, B and C. the oxidation number of A is `+2`, of B is `+5` and of C is `-2`. The possible formula of the compound isA. `ABC_(3)`B. `B_(2)(AC_(3))_(2)`C. `A_(3)(BC_(4))_(2)`D. `A_(3)(BC_(3))_(2)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C The oxidation states of A, B and C are `+2, +5` and `-2` respectively In `ABC_(3), 2 + 5 + 3 xx (-2) = +1 != 0` (b) In `B_(2) (AC_(3))_(2), 2 xx (+2) + 2 [(+5) + 3 (-2)] = +2 != 0` (c) In `A_(3) (BC_(4))_(2), 3 xx (+2) + 2[(+5) + 4 (-2)] = 0` (d) In `A_(3) (BC_(3))_(2), 3 xx (+2) + 2 [(+5) + 3 (-2)] = +4 != 0` `:.` Possible formula of compound is `A_(3) (BC_(4))_(2)` |
