An inorganic compound (A) , transparent like glass is a strong reducing agnet. Its hydrolysis in water gives a white turbidity (B). Aqueous solution of (A) gives white precipitate (C ) with NaOH (aq.) which is soluble in excess NaOH (A) reduces cupric chloride to produce purple of cassius. (A) also reduces I_(2) and give chromyl chloride test.

An inorganic compound (A) , transparent like glass is a strong reducin

1.	An inorganic compound (A) , transparent like glass is a strong reducing agnet. Its hydrolysis in water gives a white turbidity (B). Aqueous solution of (A) gives white precipitate (C ) with NaOH (aq.) which is soluble in excess NaOH (A) reduces cupric chloride to produce purple of cassius. (A) also reduces I_(2) and give chromyl chloride test.
Answer» Solution :(1) Since (A) gives chromyl CHLORIDE test and th, it has `CL^(-)` (2) Since (A) is strong reducing agent So (A) is `SnCl_(2)` (i) `underset("solid (A)") underset("transparent")underset("white")(SnCl_(2))+H_(2)O rarr underset("white turbidity")underset((B))(Sn(OH)_(2))+2HCl` (ii) `underset((A))(SnCl_(2))+4NaOH rarr underset((C ))(Sn(OH)_(2))+2NaCl` `Sn(OH)_(2)+underset("excess")(2NaOH)rarr underset("soluble")(Na_(2)SnO_(2))+2H_(2)O` `(iii) 3SnCl_(2)+2AuCl_(3)rarr 3SnCl_(4)+2Au`( PURPLE of cassius)
