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 `Cl_(2)`
`underset((X))(3Cl_(2))+underset(("hot & conc."))(6NaOH)to5NaCl+underset((2))(NaClO_(3))+3H_(2)O`
.Z. is `NaClO_(3)`
`""^(-)O-underset(O)underset(||)overset(ddot)(Cl)=O`
Bond order `=1+("number of "pi" bond")/("number of "sigma" bond")=1+(2)/(3)=1.67`
