Chemistry Question on introduction to organic chemistry
Reaction of BeO with ammonia and hydrogen fluoride gives A which on thermal decomposition gives BeF2 and NH4F What is ' A′ ?
A
(NH4)BeF3
B
H3NBeF3
C
(NH4)Be2F5
D
(NH4)2BeF4
Answer
(NH4)2BeF4
Explanation
Solution
BeO+2NH3+4HF→(NH4)2BeF4+H2O
(NH4)2BeF4⟶ΔBeF2+NH4F
