Ammonia on reaction with chlorine forms an explosive \(\mathrm{NCl}_3\). What is the mole ratio of \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) and \(\mathrm{Cl}_2\) required for this reaction?

  1. A \(8: 3\)
  2. B \(1: 1\)
  3. C \(1: 3\)
  4. D \(10: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1: 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The balanced equation is \[ \mathrm{NH}_3+3 \mathrm{Cl}_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{NCl}_3+3 \mathrm{HCl} \] Thus, the ratio of \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) to \(3 \mathrm{Cl}_2\) is \(1: 3\).
