NEETChemistryHydrogen
An ionic hydride of an alkali metal has significant covalent character and is almost unreactive towards oxygen and chlorine. This is used in the synthesis of other useful hydrides. Write the formula of this hydride. Write its reaction with Al 2 Cl 6 .
Options
- ANaH; NaH + Al 2 Cl 6 → 2AlCl 3 + 2NaCl
- BKH; KH + Al 2 Cl 6 → 2AlCl 3 + KCl
- CLiH; LiH + Al 2 Cl 6 → 2AlCl 3 + LiCl
- DRbH; RbH + Al 2 Cl 6 → 2AlCl 3 + RbCl
Correct answer
A. NaH; NaH + Al 2 Cl 6 → 2AlCl 3 + 2NaCl
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) NaH; NaH + Al 2 Cl 6 → 2AlCl 3 + 2NaCl
