Ques. 2.5 moles of sulphuryl chloride was dissolved in water to produce sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid. The number of moles of KOH required to completely neutralize the solution is

(A) 5               (2) 7                    (3) 8                          (4) 10

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution of your asked query:

According to the following equation...

 

1 mole of Sulphuryl chloride produces 2 mole HCl and 1 mole H₂SO₄.

so

2.5 mole of sulphuryl chloride will produce 5 mole HCl and 2.5 mole H₂SO₄.

According to the following equation.

5 mole HCl is required to neutralize 5 mole of HCl

and

According to the following equation.

5 mole HCl is required to neutralize 2.5 mole H₂SO₄.

Total number of moles of KOH required to neutralize  5 mole of HCl and 2.5 mole H₂SO₄ =  10

Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic.

Keep asking!!
