Which of the following is observed when a solution of iron (III) chloride is mixed with a solution of sodium hydroxide?
A
A gas is evolved
B
A deep blue precipitate is formed
C
The resultant solution turns green turns
D
A brown precipitate is formed
correct option: d
iron(III) chloride is a yellow solution
sodium hydroxide is colourless
iron(III) hydroxide is a reddish brown precipitate
sodium chloride is colourless

So in the reaction, yellow solution when added to sodium hydroxide forms reddish brown precipitate that is insoluble in excess sodium hydroxide.

One mole of hydrocarbon contains 6g of hydrogen. If the molecular weight is 54, the hydrocarbon is an?
A
alkanone
B
alkane
C
alkene
D
alkyne
correct option: d
CxH6
∴ CxH6 = 54
12x + 6 = 54
12x = 54 - 6
12x = 48
x = (48)/(12)
x = 4
We have CxH6 butyne
