Question:

On the surface of polar stratospheric clouds, hydrolysis of chlorine nitrate gives A and B while its reaction with HCl produces B and C. A, B and C are, respectively

Updated On: Jul 6, 2024
  • \(HOCl, HNO_3, Cl_2\)
  • \(Cl_2, HNO_3, HOCl\)
  • \(HClO_2, HNO_2, HOCl\)
  • \(HOCl, HNO_2, Cl_2O\)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

On the surface of polar stratospheric clouds, hydrolysis of chlorine nitrate as

\(ClNO_2+H_2O⟶HOCl(A)+HNO_3(B)\)

\(ClNO_2+HCl⟶Cl_2(C)+HNO_3(B)\)

Hence \(A, B\) and \(C\) are \(HOCl, HNO_3\) and \(Cl_2\), respectively.

Rate of a Chemical Reaction

The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the change in concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

Consider the reaction A → B,

Rate of the reaction is given by,

Rate = −d[A]/ dt=+d[B]/ dt

Where, [A] → concentration of reactant A

[B] → concentration of product B

(-) A negative sign indicates a decrease in the concentration of A with time.

(+) A positive sign indicates an increase in the concentration of B with time.

Factors Determining the Rate of a Reaction:

There are certain factors that determine the rate of a reaction:

  1. Temperature
  2. Catalyst
  3. Reactant Concentration
  4. Chemical nature of Reactant
  5. Reactant Subdivision rate
