The reactions given below, \[ \begin{array}{l} \text{A } \mathrm{Cl_2} + \mathrm{H_2O} \rightarrow \mathrm{HOCl} + \mathrm{H_3O^+} + \mathrm{Cl^-} \\ \text{B } \mathrm{Cl_2} + 2\mathrm{NH_3} \rightarrow \mathrm{NH_2Cl} + \mathrm{NH_4} + \mathrm{Cl^-} \end{array} \]
are examples of (a)disproportionation only
(b)disproportionation (A) and solvation (B)
(c)solvation (A) and disproportionation (B)
(d)solvalysis as well as disproportionation
Answer
Explanation
\[ \text{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cl_2 + 2H_2O \rightarrow HOCl + H_3O^{+} + Cl^{-}} \]
\[ \text{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cl_2 + 2NH_3 \rightarrow NH_4Cl + NH_4^{+} + Cl^{-}} \]
Above both reactions are example of solvolysis as well as disproportionation.Open in whiteboard · Browse this chapter in the app
