A gas 'X' is passed through water to form a saturated solution. The aqueous solution on treatment with silver nitrate gives a white precipitate. The saturated aqueous solution also dissolves magnesium ribbon with evolution of a colourless gas 'Y'. The compound 'X' is treated with hot concentrated NaOH, a compound Z is formed. The average bond order between Cl and O atom in (Z) is ________.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1.67
Here X is `CI_(2)`
`underset((X))(3CI_(2)) + underset(("hot & conc."))(6NaOH) to 5NaCI + underset((Z))(NACIO_(3) + 3H_(2) O`
'Z' is `NaCIO_(3)`
`-O - underset(O)underset(||)(ddot(CI)) = 1`
Bond order = 1 + `("number of" pi "bond")/("number of" sigma "bond") = 1 + (2)/(3) = 1.67`
