Q6.Which of the following is most likely structure of CrCl3.6H2Oif 1/3 of total chlorine of the compound is precipitated by adding AgNO3 to its aqueous solution?
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
1 mol of Cl is precipitated so 1 Cl will be present outside the coordination sphere.
Q9.AgCN reacts with haloalkanes to form isocyanide. Haloalkanes react with KCN to form alkyl cyanides as main product
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
AgCN is covalent in nature while KCN is ionic so KCN produces CN- in the solution.
CN- is an ambient nucleophile i.e. it can form bond from both C and N atoms. KCN is an ionic compound so both C and N sides are available for the formation of bond, but C-C bond is stronger than C-N bond so cynide is formed. AgCN is a covalent compound so only N side is available for CN to form bond and thus isocynide is formed
