Question

An inorganic compound (A) is a strong reducing agent. Its hydrolysis in water gives a white turbidity (B). An aqueous solution of, (A) gives a white precipitate (C) with NaOH solution which is soluble in excess of NaOH. (A) reduces auric chloride to produce purple of cassius, (A) also reduces iodine and gives chromyl chloride test. Find a total number of OH group present in one molecule of product C.

Solution

(A)=SnCl2;(B)Sn(OH)Cl;(C)=Sn(OH)2
SnCl2(A)+H2OSn(OH(B))Cl+HCl
SnCl2+NaOHSn(OH(C))2+2NaCl
Sn(OH)2+2NaOHNa2SnO2+2H2O
3SnCl2+2AuCl33SnCl4+2Au
3SnCl2+2HCl+I2SnCl4+2HI
Thus, product C contain 2 OH group.
