Chemistry Question on Chemical Reactions

Identify X,YX , Y and ZZ in the following reaction (Equation not balanced) ClO+NO2→X‾⟶H2OY‾+Z‾ClO + NO _2 \rightarrow \underline{ X } \stackrel{ H _2 O }{\longrightarrow} \underline{ Y }+\underline{Z}

A

X=ClNO3,Y=Cl2,Z=NO2X = ClNO _3, Y = Cl _2, Z = NO _2

B

X=ClONO2,Y=HOCl,Z=HNO3X = ClONO _2, Y = HOCl , Z = HNO _3

C

X=ClONO2,Y=HOCl,Z=NO2X = ClONO _2, Y = HOCl , Z = NO _2

D

X=ClNO2,Y=HCl,Z=HNO3X = ClNO _2, Y = HCl , Z = HNO _3

Answer

X=ClONO2,Y=HOCl,Z=HNO3X = ClONO _2, Y = HOCl , Z = HNO _3

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is (B): X=ClONO2,Y=HOCl,Z=NOX = ClONO _2, Y = HOCl , Z = NO

The value of X, Y and Z in the given reaction is:
ClO+NO2→X‾⟶H2OY‾+Z‾ClO + NO _2 \rightarrow \underline{ X } \stackrel{ H _2 O }{\longrightarrow} \underline{ Y }+\underline{Z}

ClO+NO2​⟶ClONO2(X)​​​⟶H2​O​ HOCl​(Y)+HNO3​​(Z)ClO+NO_2 ​⟶\underset{(X)}{ClONO_2}​​ \overset{H2​O​}{​⟶} \,\underset{(Y)}{HOCl​}+ \underset{(Z)}{ HNO_3​​}
