\(\mathrm{Ba}, \mathrm{Ca}, \mathrm{Sr}\) form halide hydrates. Their formulae are \(\mathrm{BaCl}_2\), \(x \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{CaCl}_2 y \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{SrCl}_2, \mathrm{zH}_2 \mathrm{O}\). The values of \(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}, \mathrm{Z}\) respectively are

  1. A \(2,6,6\)
  2. B \(8,6,2\)
  3. C \(8,6,6\)
  4. D \(6,4,2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2,6,6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{BaCl}_2 \cdot 2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{CaCl}_2 \cdot 6 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{SrCl}_2 \cdot 6 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) so \(x, y, z\) are \(2,6,6\).
