KVPY2017ChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
The reactivity of the following compounds towards water is in the order
Options
- ACl ₂ O ₇ < P ₂ O ₅ < B ₂ O ₃
- BB ₂ O ₃ < P ₂ O ₅ < Cl ₂ O ₇
- CP ₂ O ₅ < B ₂ O ₃ < Cl ₂ O ₇
- DB ₂ O ₃ < Cl ₂ O ₇ < P ₂ O ₅
Correct answer
B. B ₂ O ₃ < P ₂ O ₅ < Cl ₂ O ₇
Step-by-step solution
These dissolve in water to form hydroxy acid. Stronger acidic oxide react more faster Acidic strength increase with increase in EN
