A compound contains atoms `X, Y` and `Z`. The oxidation number of `X` is `+3`, `Y` is `+5` and `Z` is `-2`. The possible formula of the compound is

A

`XYZ_(2)`

B

`Y_(2)(XZ_(3))_(2)`

C

`X_(3)(YZ_(4))_(3)`

D

`X_(3)(Y_(4)Z)_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Let formula is `X_(x),Y_(y),Z_(z)`. O.N of X, Y and Z are `+3, +5 and -2` respecitvely
`:. 3x +5y - 2z=0`. The values of x,y and z satisfying this equation are 3,3 and 12 Therefore correct formula is `X_(3)(YZ_(4))_(3)`.
