JEE Main 2024 — 27 January, Shift 1 — Question 67

Yellow compound of lead chromate gets dissolved on treatment with hot NaOH solution. The product of lead formed is a :

  1. Option A:

    Tetraanionic complex with coordination number six

  2. Option B:

    Neutral complex with coordination number four

  3. Option C:

    Dianionic complex with coordination number six

  4. Option D:

    Dianionic complex with coordination number four

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

PbCrO4+NaOH\mathrm{PbCrO}_{4}+\mathrm{NaOH} (hot excess) →[Pb(OH)4]−2+\rightarrow\left[\mathrm{Pb}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}\right]^{-2}+ Na2CrO4\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CrO}_{4}

Dianionic complex with coordination number four
