Question

Given below are two statements: Statement I: Both CaCl ∙6H O and MgCl ∙6H O undergo dehydration only 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 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2

(A) Statement I is false but statement II is true

(C) Statement I is true but statement II is false
(D) Both statement I and statement II are false

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B) BOTH STATEMENT I AND STATEMENT II IS TRUE. CaCl ∙6H O CaCl + 6H O MgCl ∙6H O → MgO + HCl+ 5H O Among alkaline earth metal BeO is amphoteric & rest are basic oxide
