' X ' on hydrolysis gives two products. One of them is solid. What is ' $X$ '?
  1. $\mathrm{P}_4 \mathrm{O}_{10}$
  2. $\mathrm{F}_2$
  3. $\mathrm{SiCl}_{4}$
  4. $\mathrm{N}^{3-}$

Solution

$\left(\mathrm{SiCl}_4\right)$ 1. Hydrolysis of $\mathrm{P}_4 \mathrm{O}_{10} \rightarrow$ $\mathrm{P}_4 \mathrm{O}_{10}+6 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \xrightarrow{4} 4 \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4$ $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4$ and $\mathrm{P}_4 \mathrm{O}_{10}$ are not solid under standard 2. Hydrolysis of $\mathrm{F}_2 \rightarrow$ $2 \mathrm{~F}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{HF}+\mathrm{O}_2$ H.F is a liquid or gas and $\mathrm{O}_2$ is a gas 3. Hydrolysis of $\mathrm{SiCl}_4 \rightarrow$ $\mathrm{SiCl}_4+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{SiO}_2+4 \mathrm{HCl}$ $\mathrm{SiO}_2$ is a solid and HCl is a gas Hydrolysis of $\mathrm{N}_2 \rightarrow$ Nitrogen gas $\mathrm{N}_2$ is relatively inert and does not hydrolyse under normal conditions.
