Which of the following reactions is used to make anhydrous beryllium halides ?A. `2BeO+C CI_(4)overset(800^(@)C)to 2BeCl_(2)+CO_(2)`B. `BeO+C+CI_(2)overset(700^(@)C)hArr BeCl_(2)+CO`C. `(NH_(4))_(2)[BeF_(4)]overset(Delta)toBeF_(2)+2NH_(4)F`D. All of these

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Anhydrous beryllium halides are best prepared by the best route for the preparation of `BeF_(2)`. The compound itself is made as follows
`BeO+NH_(4)Fto(NH_(4))_(2)[BeF_(4)]`
or `BeO+2NH_(3)+4HFto(NH_(4))_(2)[BeF_(4)]`
Reaction with `C Cl_(4)` is a standard method for making anhydrous chlorides which cannot be obtained by dehydrating hydrates.
