Question

One mole of P₄ reacts with 8 moles of SOCI₂ to give 4 moles of A. x mole of SO₂ and 2 moles of B. A, B and x respectively are

• A. POCl₃, S₂Cl₂ and 4
• B. PCl₃, S₂Cl₂ and 2
• C. PCi₃, S₂Cl₂ and 4
• D. POCl₃, S₂Cl₂ and 2

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

\[ P_4 + 8SOCl_2 \rightarrow 4PCl_3 + 4SO_2 + 2S_2Cl_2 \]

From the equation, we can identify the following products:

• A = \(PCl_3\) (phosphorus trichloride)
• B = \(S_2Cl_2\) (disulfur dichloride)
• \(x = 4\) (moles of \(SO_2\))

Answer

The values of A, B, and \(x\) are:

• A = \(PCl_3\)
• B = \(S_2Cl_2\)
• \(x = 4\)
