When NaCl is heated with sulphuric acid in the presence of MnO 2 a greenish-yellow gas is liberated. The gas is
Options
- ACl 2
- BNH 3
- CN 2
- DH 2
Correct answer
A. Cl 2
Step-by-step solution
Yellowish-green gas of chlorine is evolved when the sodium chloride is heated with concentrated H 2 SO 4 in presence of MnO 2 . NaCl + H 2 SO 4 → NaHSO 4 + HCl MnO 2 + 4 HCl → MnCl 2 + 2 H 2 O + Cl 2
