- A Addition of cis 1, 2 diol
- B Addition of borax
- C Addition of trans 1, 2 diol
- D Addition of \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{HPO}_4\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Addition of cis 1, 2 diol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\text B (\text{OH})_3+ \text{NaOH} \rightleftharpoons \text{NaBO} _2+ \text{Na} ^{+}\)\(\left[\text B (\text{OH})_4\right]^{-}+\text H _2\text O\)
This reaction is reversible reaction because sodium metaborate, \(\mathrm{Na}^{+}\left[\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_4\right]^{-}\)formed by the reaction between \(\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_3\) and \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) gets hydrolysed to regenerate \(\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_3\) and \(\mathrm{NaOH}\)
\(\text{Na} ^{+}\left[\text B (\text{OH})_4\right]^{-} \xrightarrow[\text {Hydrolysis}]{ } \text{NaOH}\) \(+\text{ B} (\text{OH} )_3\)
If, some quantity of polyhydroxy compound like cis-1, 3-diol, catechol, glycerol etc. is added to the reaction mixture. The \(\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_3\) combines with such polyhydroxy compound to give chelated complex compound. Due to complex compound formation, stability increases and due to higher stability of complex, reaction moves in forward direction.
