8.rnso2cl2 on reaction with excess of water results into acidic mixture.rnso2cl2 + 2h2o→→ H2SO4 + 2hc1rn[2.5 M]rn16 moles of NaOH is required for the complete neutralization of the resultant acidic mixture. The number of moles of SO2Cl2 used is:rn(a)rn16rn(b)rn8rn4rn(d)rn2
Accepted Answer
The number of moles of SO2Cl2 used can be calculated as follows:
16 moles of NaOH are required for complete neutralization
The reaction between SO2Cl2 and water is:
SO2Cl2 + 2H2O → H2SO4 + 2HCl
From the stoichiometry of the reaction, we can see that 1 mole of SO2Cl2 reacts with 2 moles of NaOH
Therefore, 16 moles of NaOH will react with 8 moles of SO2Cl2
Hence, the number of moles of SO2Cl2 used is 8
The correct answer is (B) 8
