JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3qc075
Which of the following statements about group III are correct?
AAl(OH)X3 dissolves in excess NaOH to give [Al(OH)X4]X−
BFeX3+ gives a deep blue precipitate with KX4[Fe(CN)X6]
CCr(OH)X3 is converted to yellow chromate by NaOH and HX2OX2
DFe(OH)X3 dissolves in excess NaOH to give a clear solution of [Fe(OH)X4]X−
Answer: A, B, C
Aluminium hydroxide is amphoteric, Fe(III) gives Prussian blue with ferrocyanide, and alkaline HX2OX2 oxidises Cr(III) to yellow CrOX4X2−. Fe(OH)X3 does not dissolve in cold excess dilute NaOH, so the last option is false.
