Question

Euchlorine is produced by heating a mixture of

$KCl +$ conc. $H _{2} SO _{4}$

$KCl +$ conc. $HCl$

$K _{2} ClO _{3}+ conc . H _{2} SO _{4}$

$KClO _{3}+$ conc. $HCl$

Answer

$KClO _{3}+$ conc. $HCl$

Explanation

Solution

When KClO is heated with conc. HCl, a mixture of chlorine and chlorine dioxide is obtained [called Euchlorine]. $[KClO_3 + HCl \to KCl + HClO_3 ] ??2$ $2HClO_3 + 2HCl \to 2ClO_2 + Cl_2 + 2H_2O$ $2KClO_3 + 4HCl \to 2KCl + 2ClO_2 + Cl_2 + 2H_2O$
