S Block Elements Question 114

Question: $ ZnCl_2+NaHCO_3\xrightarrow{Heat}(A)\xrightarrow{Heat} $ $ (B)+(C)H_2O(B)+NaOH\to (D) $ Identify the compound (D) present in the solution.

Options:

A) $ ZnCO_3 $

B) $ Zn{{(OH)}_2} $

C) $ ZnO $

D) $ Na_2ZnO_2 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] $ ZnCl_2+2NaHCO_3\xrightarrow{\Delta } $ $ Zn\underset{[A]}{\mathop{{{( HCO_3 )}_2}}}+2NaCl $

$ Zn\underset{[A]}{\mathop{{{( HCO_3 )}_2}}}\xrightarrow{\Delta } $ $ \underset{[B]}{\mathop{ZnCO_3}}+H_2O+\underset{[C]}{\mathop{CO_2}}\uparrow $

$ \underset{[B]}{\mathop{ZnCO_3}}+2NaOH\to \underset{[D]}{\mathop{Na_2ZnO_2}}+2H_2O $
