The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds produces only basic products upon hydrolysis, we can analyze each compound one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: We have four compounds to analyze. For this solution, let's denote them as: - Compound A: Mg3 - Compound B: NCl3 - Compound C: NH4OH - Compound D: (another compound not specified in the transcript) 2. **Analyze Hydrolysis of Each Compound**: - **Compound A (Mg3)**: - When magnesium nitride (Mg3) undergoes hydrolysis, it reacts with water (H2O) to produce magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) and ammonia (NH3). - Reaction: \[ Mg_3 + 6H_2O \rightarrow 3Mg(OH)_2 + 2NH_3 \] - Both products (Mg(OH)2 and NH3) are basic in nature. - **Compound B (NCl3)**: - Hydrolysis of nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) with water produces hydrochloric acid (HCl) and ammonia (NH3). - Reaction: \[ NCl_3 + 3H_2O \rightarrow NH_3 + 3HCl \] - HCl is acidic, so this compound does not produce only basic products. - **Compound C (NH4OH)**: - Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) is already a basic solution, but when it hydrolyzes, it does not produce only basic products. - Hydrolysis does not yield additional basic products; it remains as NH4OH in solution. - **Compound D**: - (Assuming it is another compound not specified, we will skip this for now as per the transcript). 3. **Conclusion**: - From our analysis, only **Compound A (Mg3)** produces only basic products upon hydrolysis. The products are magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) and ammonia (NH3), both of which are basic. ### Final Answer: The compound that produces only basic products on hydrolysis is **Compound A (Mg3)**.
