Chlorine reacts with hot and concentrated N a O H and produces compounds X and Y . Compound X gives white precipitate with silver nitrate solution. The average bond order between Cl and O atoms in Y is _______________.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
3 C l 2 + 6 N a O H H o t   &   c o n c . → 5 N a C l X + N a C l O 3 Y + 3 H 2 O N a C l + A g N O 3 → AgCl + N a N O 3                                             white   ppt Y is N a C I O 3 C l O 3 - (bond order) = 5 3 = 1.67 .
