Concentrated \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) reacts with \(\mathrm{PCl}_{5}\) to produce

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When excess of \(\mathrm{Pa}_{5}\) reacts with conc. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\), it gives suphuryl chloride \(\left(\mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)\) as product
\(2 PCl _5+ H _2 SO _4\) (conc) \(\longrightarrow \underset{\substack{\text { (sulphurye) } \\ \text { chloride) }}}{ SO _2 Cl _2}\) \(+~2 POCl _3+2 HCl\)
