Question

`KOH+NO_(2)rarr underset("salt")((A))+underset("salt")((B))overset(Delta)(rarr)underset(("colourless"))underset("Gas")(X)+underset("salt")((B))`
The hybridisation state of the acid radical of salt (A) and (B) are `sp^(x)` and `sp^(y)` . The value of `(x+y)` ?

Answer 1

Correct Answer - 4
`KOH+NO_(2)rarr underset((A))(KNO_(2))+underset((B))(KNO_(3))overset(Delta)(rarr)underset((B))(KNO_(2))+underset((X))(O_(2))uarr`
`NO_(2)^(-) =sp^(2)`
`NO_(3)^(-)=sp^(2)=x+y=4`
