A) white turning to red.
B) white turning to grey
C) black turning to white
D) none of the above
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Stannous chloride \[(SnC{{l}_{2}})\] is a good reducing agent. It reduces \[HgC{{l}_{2}}\] into Hg (grey precipitate), in two steps. \[SnC{{l}_{2}}+2HgC{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}SnC{{l}_{4}}+\underset{white}{\mathop{HgC{{l}_{2}}\downarrow }}\,\] \[SnC{{l}_{2}}+HgC{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}SnC{{l}_{4}}+\underset{grey}{\mathop{2Hg\downarrow }}\,\]
