MgCl_(2) is linear but SnCl_(2) is angular-explain. |
| Answer» Solution :For `MgCl_(2),H=(1)/(2)[2+2-0+0]=(4)/(2)=2`, i.e., the central Mg-atom is sp-hybridised. Therefore, the molecule is linear. On the other hand, for `SnCl_(2),H=(1)/(2)[4+2-0+0]=(6)/(2)=3`, i.e., the cental Sn-atom is `sp^(2)`-hybridised. Therefore, the two bond pairs and one lone PAIR present in the molecule are directed TOWARDS the corners of an equilateral triangle. HENCE, `SnCl_(2)` molecule is angular. | |

MgCl_(2) and CaCl_(2) are easily hydrated, while NaCl and KCl are not hydrated. Why? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Compounds of alkaline earth metals are more extensively hydrated than those of alkali metals because the hydration enthalpies of alkaline earth metal ions are larger than those of alkali metal ions. e.g., `MgCl_(2)` and `CaCl_(2)` exist as `MgCl_(2).6H_(2)O` and `CaCl_(2).6H_(2)O` while NACL and KCI do not form such hydrates. |

Mg_(3) N_(2) when reacted with water gives off ammonia but HCl is not obtained when MgCl_(2) reacts with water at room temperature . Explain . |
|
Answer» Solution :`Mg_(3)N_(2)` is a SALT of a strong BASE `Mg(OH)_(2)` and a weak acid `NH_(3)` . Therefore , it undergoes hydrolysis to give `NH_(3)` . `Mg_(3) N_(2) + 6H_(2) O to 3 Mg(OH)_(2) + 2NH_(3)` In contrast , `MgCl_(2)` is a salt of a strong base `Mg(OH)_(2)` and a strong acid HCl . Therefore , it does not undergo hydrolysis to give HCl . `MgCl_(2) + 2 H_(2)O cancelto Mg (OH)_(2) + 2 HCl` |

Mg^(2+) ions is essential for selective precipitation of Fe(OH)_(3) be aqueous NH_(3). |
|
Answer» `Fe^(3+) + 3OH^(THETA)` (from `NH_(4)OH) rarr Fe(OH)_(3)` `NH_(4)OH rarr NH_(4)^(o+) + overset(Theta)OH` Due to common ion `(NH_(4))`, the supression of ionisation of `NH_(4)OH` TAKES PLACE, so the concentartion, of `overset(Theta)OH` is less. So only the `Fe(OH)_(3)` ppt. not `Mg(OH)_(2)` since `K_(sp)` of `Fe(OH)_(3) lt K_(sp) "of" Mg(OH)_(2)` |
