Question

In the reaction B₂O₃ +C + Cl₂ → A + CO.The A is
(a) BCl₃ (b) BCl₂
(c) B₂Cl₂ (d) CCl₂

Answer 1

Answer:

(c) B2CL2 IS THE RIGHT ANSWER

Answer 2

B₂O₃ +3 C +3 Cl₂ → 2 BCl₃ + 3 CO

Explanation:

B₂O₃ +3 C +3 Cl₂ → 2 BCl₃ + 3 CO.

• Boron trioxide is treated with chlorine and carbon to form boron trichloride and carbon monoxide.
• This is a redox reaction.
• In a chemical reaction, the atoms oxidation state were changed. Both reduction and oxidation reaction taken place.

In oxidation,

$3C -6e^-$ → $3C^I^I$

In reduction,

$6Cl + 6e^-$ → $6 Cl^-^I$

• Reducing agent is C and oxidizing agent is chlorine.
• It is an inorganic compound and colorless gas.
• It is reactive high towards water.
