Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Both ${CaCl}_{2} . 6{H}_{2}O$ and ${MgCl}_{2} . 8{H}_{2}O$ undergo dehydration on heating.
Statement II : $BeO$ is amphoteric, whereas the oxides of other elements in the same group are acidic.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement I : Both ${CaCl}_{2} . 6{H}_{2}O$ and ${MgCl}_{2} . 8{H}_{2}O$ undergo dehydration on heating.

Statement II : $BeO$ is amphoteric, whereas the oxides of other elements in the same group are acidic.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Given below are two statements: Statement I : Both CaCl _ 2 . 6 H _ 2 O and MgCl _ 2 . 8 H _ 2 O undergo dehydration on

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. Both statement I and statement II are false

(a) CaCl _ 2 . 6 H _ 2 O Δ ⟶ CaCl _ 2 _ ( Anhydrous ) + 6 H _ 2 O (b) MgCl _ 2 . 8 H _ 2 O Δ ⟶ MgO + 2HCl + 6 H _ 2 O The dehydration of hydrated chloride of calcium can be achieved. The corresponding hydrated chloride of magnesium on heating suffer hydrolysis. (c) BeO → Amphoteric

Given below are two statements: Statement I : Both CaCl _ 2 . 6 H _...
