Question:

With reference to aqua regia, choose the correct option(s)

Updated On: Jun 14, 2022
  • Aqua regia is prepared by mixing cone. HCI and cone. $HNG_3$ in 3:1 (v/v) ratio
  • Reaction of gold with aqua regia produces an anion having Au in +3 oxidation state
  • Reaction of gold with aqua regia produces $NO_2$ in the absence of air
  • The yellow colour of aqua regia is due to the presence of NOCI and $Cl_2$

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$\left(1\right) Au + HNO_{3} + 4HCl \rightarrow AuCl_{4}^{\Theta} + H_{3}O^{+} + NO + H_{2}O$
$(2)$ Aqua regia $= 3HCl$(conc.) $+ HNO_3$(conc.)
$(3) AuCl_4^{\Theta}$ is produced
$(4)$ Yellow colour of aqua regia is due to it's decomposition into $NOCl$(orange yellow) and $Cl_2$(greenish yellow).

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
