Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) n

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Chemical formula of mustard gas is \(\mathrm{ClCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{SCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Cl}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) 'n' \(\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{ClCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{SCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Cl} \equiv \mathrm{n}\) mol S-atom
