Sulphide ore on roasting gives a gas \(X . X\) reacts with \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) in the presence of activated charcoal to give \(Y\). \(Y\) is

  1. A \(\mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{SCl}_{6}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{SOCl}_{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When sulphite ore is roasted it means that sulphide ore is being heated in the presence of excess of air to form a gas \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\).
\(\underset{\text { From sulphide ore) }}{\mathrm{S}}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow \underset{(X)}{\mathrm{SO}_{2}}\)
e.g. \(\quad 2 \mathrm{ZnS}+3 \mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{ZnO}+2 \mathrm{SO}_{2}\)
Thereafter, \(X\) reacts with \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) in the presence of activated charcoal to give \(Y\)
