The pair of amphoteric hydroxides isA. `Be(OH)_(2), Al(OH)_(3)`B. `Al(OH)_(3), LiOH`C. `B(OH)_(3), Be(OH)_(2)`D. `Be(OH)_(2), Mg(OH)_(2)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A Beryllium hydroxide and aliminium hydroxide are amphoteric in nature on account of diagonal relationship. `Be(OH)_(2)+2OH^(-)rarr [Be(OH)_(4)]^(2-)(` beryllate ion `)` `Be(OH)_(2)+2HCl+2H_(2)O rarr [Be (OH_(2))_(4)]Cl_(2)` `Al(OH)_(3)+OH^(-)rarr [Al(OH)_(4)]^(-)(` aluminate ion `)` `Al(OH)_(3)+H_(2)O+3HCl rarr [Al(OH_(2))_(4)]Cl_(3)` |
