Question

Consider the structure of Al2Me6 compound and find the value of (x - y) / z.
Where x = Maximum number of atoms that can lie in plane having terminal (Al – Me) bonds.
y = Total number of 3c–2e– bonds.
z = Total number of atoms that are sp3 hybridized.

Correct answer: 1 / X = 10, Y = 2, Z = 8. (10 - 2) / 8 = 1. Step 1: Phosphorus pentoxide (P4O10) is an exceptionally strong dehydrating agent. Step 2: When malonic acid, CH2(COOH)2, is heated with P4O10, it undergoes double dehydration by losing two molecules of water. Step 3: The chemical reaction is: CH2(COOH)2 - 2H2O -> C3O2. The resulting gaseous product is carbon suboxide (C3O2), which corresponds to option (b).
