Beryllium chloride hydrate loses no wate...

Beryllium chloride hydrate loses no water over `P_4O_(10)`- why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to very small size and stronger hydrating tendency of `Be^(2+)` ion, it is not possible for `P_4O_10` to abstract water molecules from beryllium chloride hydrate, `[Be(H_2O)_4]Cl_2`
