Question

SO2Cl2 in reaction with an excess water results in the acidic mixture
SO2CL2+2H2O$\rightarrow$H2SO4+2HCL
16 moles of NaOH is required for the complete neutralization of the resultant acidic mixture. The number of moles of SO2Cl2 used is

• A. 16
• B. 8
• C. 4
• D. 2

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

16

Answer 2

SO2CL2+2H2O$\rightarrow$H2SO4+2HCL
Moles of NaOH required for complete neutralization of resultant acidic mixture = 16 moles
And 1 mole of SO2Cl2 produced 4 moles of H+
Moles pf SO2CL2 used will be=$\frac{16}{4}$=4 moles
