SO 2 Cl 2 on reaction with excess of water results into acidic mixture SO 2 Cl 2 + 2 H 2 O → H 2 SO 4 + 2 HCl 16 moles of NaOH is required for the complete neutralisation of the resultant acidic mixture. The number of moles of SO 2 Cl 2 used is
Options
- A16
- B8
- C4
- D2
Correct answer
C. 4
Step-by-step solution
SO 2 Cl 2 + 2 H 2 O → 2 HCl + H 2 SO 4 Let x moles of SO 2 Cl 2 are required, ∴   n H 2 SO 4 = x , n HCl = 2 x ⇒ n H + = 4 x Moles of H + formed = 4 x Moles of OH - from 16 moles of NaOH = 16 4 x = 16 (for complete neutralisation) x = 4
