    Aluminium reacts with \[\underline{X}\] and forms compound X. If the coordination number of aluminium in X is 6, the correct formula of X is

    A)  \[p\pi .d\pi \]

    B)  \[\Delta {{H}_{f}}(H)=218kJ/mol\]

    C)  \[H-H\]

    D)  \[52.15\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

      \[2Al+2NaOH+2{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  sodium \\  meta  \\  \text{aluminate} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{2NaAl{{O}_{2}}}}\,+3{{H}_{2}}\] Sodiunimetaaluminate, thus formed, is soluble in water and changes into the complex \[{{[Al{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{2}}{{(OH)}_{4}}]}^{-}}\],  in  which  coordination . number of \[Al\] is 6.
