Question

Which oxide is formed by reaction of cl2 on hgo at 300celcius?

Answer 1

Answer:

Dichlorine monoxide(Cl₂O) is formed by the reaction of Cl₂O on HgO at 300°Celcius.

Explanation:

Dichlorine monoxide and mercury(II) chloride are the products of the reaction between mercury(II) oxide and chlorine. Mercury(II) oxide in the suspension form. This reaction takes place at a temperature near 300°Celcius in the liquid tetrachloromethane.

The reaction is as follows:-

HgO + 2Cl₂⇒HgCl₂ + Cl₂O                (1)

Where,

HgO=Mercury(II) oxide

Cl₂=Chlorine

HgCl₂=Mercuric Chloride

Cl₂O =Dichlorine monoxide

So, Dichlorine monoxide(Cl₂O) is formed by the reaction of Cl₂O on HgO at 300°Celcius.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mercury (II) Chloride and dichlorine monoxide is formed by the reaction of Cl₂ on HgO at 300° C

Explanation:

• The reactants are Chloride and Mercury (II) oxide. In this Mercury (II) oxide is in suspension form and the reaction takes place at 300° C for product formation.

The reaction is:

Cl₂ + HgO ⇒ HgCl₂ + Cl₂O

Chloride + Mercury (II) oxide ⇒  Mercury (II) chloride + Dichlorine monoxide

• The above reaction is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction. The agent which act as oxidizing and reducing agent is Chloride ( Cl₂ )
• The reactants Chloride is in gaseous state and Mercury (II) oxide is in solid state.
• The product formed is Chlorine monoxide which is in gaseous state and Mercury (II) chloride is in aqueous state.
• Cl₂O is a brownish-yellow gas.

• Mercury (II) oxide   is orange - yellow or red crystalline powder
• Chlorine is a Greenish-yellow liquefied gas.
