Arrange in increasing order of extent of hydrolysis `[C Cl_(4),MgCl_(2),AlCl_(3),PCl_(5),SiCl_(4)]`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To arrange the compounds \( CCl_4, MgCl_2, AlCl_3, PCl_5, SiCl_4 \) in increasing order of the extent of hydrolysis, we need to analyze the hydrolysis behavior of each compound based on their covalent character and the ability to interact with water. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hydrolysis**: Hydrolysis is the reaction of a substance with water. The extent of hydrolysis depends on the covalent character of the compound. Generally, as the covalent character increases, the extent of hydrolysis also increases. 2. **Analyzing \( CCl_4 \)**: Carbon tetrachloride (\( CCl_4 \)) does not undergo hydrolysis. This is because carbon does not have vacant d-orbitals to expand its coordination number beyond 4. Therefore, \( CCl_4 \) is at the lowest extent of hydrolysis. ...
