Except NF 3 and BF 3, all other trihalides of this group are hydrolysed by water. BiCl 3+ H 2 O longrightarrow underset text oxychloride BiOCl +2 HCl

Q. Bismuth chloride $(B i C l_{3})$ , on hydrolysis, yields a white precipitate of

bismuth hydroxide

bismuth oxyacid

bismuth oxychloride

none of these.

Except $N F_{3}$ and $B F_{3}$ , all other trihalides of this group are hydrolysed by water.

$B i C l_{3} + H_{2} O ⟶ oxychloride B i OCl + 2 H Cl$
