The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate the three statements provided and determine which one is incorrect. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** The solubility, thermal stability, and the basic character of the hydroxides of alkaline earth metals increase from `Mg(OH)₂` to `Ba(OH)₂`. - **Solubility:** As we move down the group from magnesium to barium, the ionic size increases, leading to a decrease in lattice energy. The hydration energy also decreases, but the decrease in lattice energy is more significant, resulting in increased solubility of hydroxides. - **Thermal Stability:** The thermal stability of hydroxides increases down the group. This is because the larger ionic size of barium leads to lower lattice enthalpy, which correlates with higher thermal stability. - **Basic Character:** The basic character of hydroxides increases down the group due to lower ionization energy and increased metallic character, making it easier for the hydroxide to dissociate into OH⁻ ions. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** This statement is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** The dehydration of hydrated chlorides, bromides, and iodides of Ca, Sr, and Ba can be achieved on heating. - The halides of calcium, strontium, and barium are known to be hygroscopic and can lose water upon heating. For example, calcium chloride (CaCl₂·xH₂O) can dehydrate to form anhydrous CaCl₂. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** This statement is also correct. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement 3 **Statement 3:** The chlorides of both beryllium and aluminum are soluble in organic solvents and are strong Lewis acids. - Beryllium and aluminum chlorides are indeed covalent and can dissolve in organic solvents. They are also electron-deficient, which allows them to act as strong Lewis acids. **Conclusion for Statement 3:** This statement is correct as well. ### Final Conclusion Since all three statements are correct, there is no wrong statement among the options provided. Therefore, the answer to the question is that none of the statements are incorrect. ### Answer: None of the statements are wrong.

Why solubility of alkaline earth metal hydroxides increases from Be(OH)_(2) to Ba(OH)_(2) ?

Consider the following statements and arrange in the order of true/false as given in the codes . S_1 :Concentrated solution of an alkali metal in liquid ammonia is diamagnetic. S_2 :Increasing stability of the peroxide and super oxide of alkaline earth metal down the group is due to the stabilisation of large anions by large cations through lattice energy effects. S_3 :In the vapour phase BeCl_2 tends to form a chloro-bridged dimer. S_4 :Beryllium hydroxide reacts with acid and alkali both to form [Be(OH_2)_4]Cl_2 and [Be(OH)_4]^(2-) respectively.

Consider the following statement: S_(1) : Cu^(2+) ions are reduced to Cu^(+) by potassium iodide and potassium cyanide both, when taken in excess S_(2) : H_(2)S will precipitate the sulphide of all the metals from the solutions of chlorides of Cu,Zn and Cd if the solution is aqueous. S_(3) :The presence of magnesium is confirmed in qualitative analysis by the formation of a white crystal S_(4) :Calomel on reaction with potassium iodide gives red precipitate. and arrange in the order of true/false.

Consider the following statements and arrange in the order of true/false as given in the codes. S_1 :Ammonia on heating with concentrated solution of sodium hypochlorite gives nitrogen gas. S_2 :The phosphine gas dissolves in water in presence of sunlight and produces phosphonium hydroxide like ammonium hydroxide. S_3 :Barium azide on heating gives pure nitrogen gas. S_4 :The oxo-acids of phosphorus in which phosphorus has lower oxidation state less than +5 contain either P-P or P-H bonds but not both in addition to P=O and P-OH bonds.

The small size and high charge of Al^(3+) ion gives it a high charge density which is responsible for its tendency to show (a) covalency in its compounds in the gaseous state (b) high hydration energy which stabilizes its compounds in solution, and (c) high lattice energy of its compounds in the solid state. Thus aluminium can forms both covalent and ionic bond. Like halides of boron, halides of aluminium do not show back bonding because of increase in size of aluminium. Actually aluminium atoms complete their octets by forming dimers. Thus chloride and bromide of aluminium exist as dimers, both in the vapour state and in polar-solvents like benzene while the corresponding boron halides exists as monomer. In boron trihalides the extent of back bonding decreases with increases with increase in size of halogens and thus lewis acid character increases. All BX_(3) are hydrolysed by water but BF_(3) shows a different behaviour. Which of the following statements about anhydrous aluminium chloride is correct ?

How many of given statements are true for lanthanums? 1. The common oxidation state of all lanthanides is +3. 2. All lantanides belongs to group III of modern periodic table. 3. All lanthanides belongs to seventh period of periodic table 4. The radius for all lanthanides cations (M^(+3)) decrease from Ce^(+3) to Lu^(+3) . 5. The basic character of hydroxide increases on moving from Ce(OH)_(3) to Lu(OH)_(3) 6. All lanthanides are metals. 7. The reducing power of lanthanides decreases from Ce to Lu. 8. Lanthanides reacts with cold water to liberate H_(2) .

Consider a sturated solution of silver chloride that is in contact with solid silver chloride. The solubility equilibrium can be represented as AgCl(s)hArrAg^(+)(aq.)+Cl^(-)(aq.)," "K_(sp)=[Ag^(+)(aq.)][Cl^(-)(aq.)] Where K_(sp) is clled the solubility product constant or simply the solubility product. In general, the solubility product of a compound is the product of the molar concentrations of the constituent ions, each raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient in the equilibrium equation. For concentrations of ions that do not necessarliy correpond to equilibrium conditions we use the reaction quotient (Q) which is clled the ion or ionic prodect (Q) to predict whether a precipitate will from. Note that (Q) has the same for as K_(sp) are QltK_(sp) Unsaturated solution Q=K_(sp) Saturated solution Qgt_(sp) Supersaturated solution, precipitate will from At 25^(@)C, will a precipitate of Mg (OH)_(2) from when a 0.0001 M solution of Mg(NO_(3))_(2) is adjusted to a pH of 9.0 ? At what minimum value of pH will precipition start ? ["Given" : K_(sp)(Mg(OH)_(2))=10^(-11)M^(3)]
