|---|---|---|---|
| A. | $Mg(N{H_4})P{O_4}$ | I. | brown |
| B. | ${K_3}[Co{(N{O_2})_6}]$ | II. | white |
| C. | $MnO{(OH)_2}$ | III. | yellow |
| D. | $F{e_4}{[Fe{(CN)_6}]_3}$ | IV. | blue |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution
<p>In this problem, we are matching chemical compounds with their corresponding color. Let's go over each one :</p>
<p>A. $Mg(NH_4)PO_4$ - Magnesium ammonium phosphate is white in color, so A matches with II.</p>
<p>B. $K_3[Co(NO_2)_6]$ - Potassium hexanitritocobaltate(III) is a yellow complex, so B matches with III.</p>
<p>C. $MnO(OH)_2$ - Manganese hydroxide is brown in color, so C matches with I.</p>
<p>D. $Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3$ - Prussian blue or Ferric ferrocyanide is deep blue in color, so D matches with IV.</p>
<p>So, the correct option is Option B: A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV.</p>
