The equation which is balanced and represents the correct product(s) is:
- (A)[Mg(H₂O)₆]²⁺ + (EDTA)⁴⁻ →(excess NaOH) [Mg(EDTA)]²⁺ + 6H₂O
- (B)CuSO₄ + 4KCN → K₂[Cu(CN)₄] + K₂SO₄
- (C)Li₂O + 2KCl → 2LiCl + K₂O
- (D)[CoCl(NH₃)₅]⁺ + 5H⁺ → Co²⁺ + 5NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
Check each line for balance and for sensible products. The magnesium-EDTA line does not balance in charge, on the left against on the right. Copper with excess cyanide actually gives , not . The line runs the wrong way, since is stable while is not. The reaction is both correct and balanced in atoms and charge, so it represents the right products.
