Question:

A tin chloride Q undergoes the following reactions (not balanced) $Q+Cl^{-} \to X$ $Q+Me_{3}N \to Y$ $Q+CuCl_{2} \to Z+CuCl$ X is a monoanion having pyramidal geometry. Both Y and Z are neutral compounds. Choose the correct option(s)

Updated On: Jun 14, 2022
  • The central atom in $X$ is $sp^3$ hybridized
  • There is a coordinate bond in Y
  • The oxidation state of the central atom in $Z$ is $+2$
  • The central atom in Z has one lone pair of electrons

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Compound Q is $SnCl_2$. The given reactions are
${ $\underset{\text{}}{{SnCl2}}$ + Cl- -> $\underset{\text{(X)}}{{SnCl^{-}_3}}$ }$
${ $\underset{\text{}}{{SnCl2}}$ + Me3N -> $\underset{\text{(Y)}}{{Me3N+ - Sn^{-}Cl2}}$ }$
${ $\underset{\text{}}{{SnCl2}}$ + 2CuCl2 -> $\underset{\text{(Z)}}{{SnCl4 + 2CuCl}}$ }$
Hybridisation of Sn in $SnCl^{-}_{3}$ is $sp^3$
Trimethylamine forms a co-ordinate bond with Sn in $SnCl_2$.
There is no lone pair on central atom of $SnCl_4(Z)$.

General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements

What are Ores and Minerals? 

Minerals are the naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substances. They are having a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure, hardness and color. For example, copper pyrite, calamine, etc.

Impurities in an ore are called gauge. The removal of a gauge from the ore is called concentration ore. 

Several steps are involved in the extraction of pure metal from ores. Major steps are as follows –

  • Concentration of the ore
  • Isolation of the metal from its concentrated ore
  • Purification of the metal
