Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

One mole of $\mathrm{P}_{4}$ reacts with 8 moles of $\mathrm{SOCl}_{2}$ to give 4 moles of $\mathrm{A}, x$ mole of $\mathrm{SO}_{2}$ and 2 moles of $\mathrm{B} . \mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and $x$ respectively are :

  1. A $\mathrm{POCl}_{3}, \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ and 4
  2. B $\mathrm{PCl}_{3}, \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ and 4 Correct answer
  3. C $\mathrm{POCl}_{3}, \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ and 2
  4. D $\mathrm{PCl}_{3}, \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ and 2

Solution

$$ \mathrm{P}_4+8 \mathrm{SOCl}_2 \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{PCl}_3+4 \mathrm{SO}_2+2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2 $$ <br/><br/>Hence, $\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{PCl}_3, \mathrm{x}=4, \mathrm{~B}=\mathrm{S}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2$
