Q18 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (25 Feb Shift 2) · Chemistry

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : The identification of Ni2+ is carried out by dimethyl glyoxime in the presence of NH4OH.

Statement II :The dimethyl glyoxime is a bidentate neutral ligand.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
  • Correct answer
    B
    Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
  • C
    Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
  • D
    Both Statement I and Statement II are false.

Solution

Neutral dimethyl glyoxime does not act as ligand.

When Ni2+ reacts with dimethyl glyoxime in presence of NH4OH, it produce dimethyl glyoximate then it form rozy red ppt.

Niaq2++2dmg-→Nidmg2Rosy red ppt.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
