Question

If hydrolysis of interhalogen compound can be represented by following general reaction : XY_n1 -water-> n1HY + HXOn2. If given interhalogen compound is polar and non-planar, then calculate value of n1 + n2.

Correct answer: **8** / AMONG ALL INTERHALOGEN COMPOUNDS, ONLY (XY5) TYPE COMPOUND IS POLAR AND NON-PLANAR (SQUARE PYRAMIDAL). XY5 + 3H2O -> 5HY + HXO3 (N2 = 3). ANS: N1 + N2 = 5 + 3 = 8.. Step 1: Identify the solubilities of the starting materials. Potassium ferrocyanide and zinc sulfate are highly soluble salts in water. Step 2: Observe the reaction when mixed. Zinc ions react with ferrocyanide anions to form a white precipitate of zinc ferrocyanide, Zn2[Fe(CN)6]↓. Step 3: Since a precipitate is formed from a mixture of soluble salts, this is a precipitate formation reaction (type A). Thus, the correct option is (a).
