NTA Abhyas JEE Main2020Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)Practice
The correct increasing order of extent of hydrolysis is
Options
- AC C l 4 < M g C l 2 < A l C l 3 < S i C l 4 < P C l 5
- BC C l 4 < A l C l 3 < M g C l 2 < P C l 5 < S i C l 4
- CC C l 4 < S i C l 4 < P C l 5 < A l C l 3 < M g C l 2
- DC C l 4 < P C l 5 < S i C l 4 < A l C l 3 < M g C l 2
Correct answer
A. C C l 4 < M g C l 2 < A l C l 3 < S i C l 4 < P C l 5
Step-by-step solution
Extent of hydrolysis is proportional to the amount of positive formation charge present on the atomic site prone to attack of H 2 O molecules. C C l 4 < M g C l 2 < A l C l 3 < S i C l 4 < P C l 5
