Question: In the reaction \(B_{2}O_{3} + C + Cl_{2} \rightarrow A + CO.\) The A is....

In the reaction B2O3+C+Cl2→A+CO.B_{2}O_{3} + C + Cl_{2} \rightarrow A + CO. The A is.

A

BCl3BCl_{3}

B

BCl2BCl_{2}

C

B2Cl2B_{2}Cl_{2}

D

CCl2CCl_{2}

Answer

BCl3BCl_{3}

Explanation

Solution

B2O3+3C+3Cl2→2BCl3+3COB_{2}O_{3} + 3C + 3Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2BCl_{3} + 3CO

BCl3BCl_{3} is obtained by passing chlorine over the heated mixture of B2O3B_{2}O_{3}and powdered charcoal.
