Excess of PCl ₅ reacts with con(c) H ₂ SO ₄ giving
Options
- Achlorosulphonic acid
- Bthionyl chloride
- Csulphuryl chloride
- Dsulphurous acid
Correct answer
B. thionyl chloride
Step-by-step solution
Excess of PCl ₅ reacts with conc. H ₂ SO ₄ to gives thionyl chloride ( SO ₂ Cl ₂ ) , phosphorus oxychloride ( POCl ₃ ) and HCl. H ₂ SO ₄+2 PCl ₅ SO ₂ Cl ₂+2 POCl ₃+2 HCl
