NEET Chemistry Functional Group Tests MCQ Question
When performing the qualitative analysis test to confirm the presence of Co2+ ions using potassium nitrite, how many moles of potassium nitrite (KNO2) are required to react with one mole of CoCl2?
7 moles
5 moles
3 moles
1 mole
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the reaction CoCl2 + 7KNO2 + 2CH3COOH → K3[Co(NO2)6] + 2KCl + 2CH3COOK + NO + H2O, 7 moles of KNO2 are needed to react with one mole of CoCl2.
