Sulphide ore on roasting gives a gas X. X reacts with Cl2 in the presence of activated charcoal to give Y. Y is: (A) SO2Cl2 (B) S2Cl2 (C) SCl6 (D) SOCl2

The corresponding reactions are; 2 Cu 2 S +3 O 2 arrow 2 Cu 2 O +2 SO 2( s ) (Reaction involved in roasting) SO 2+ Cl 2+ activatedcharcoal arrow SO 2 Cl 2 So here X is SO 2 (sulphur dioxide) And Y is SO 2 Cl 2 (Sulfuryl chloride)

Q. Sulphide ore on roasting gives a gas $X$ . $X$ reacts with $C l_{2}$ in the presence of activated charcoal to give $Y$ . $Y$ is:

$S O_{2} C l_{2}$

$S_{2} C l_{2}$

$SC l_{6}$

$SOC l_{2}$

The corresponding reactions are;

$2 C u_{2} S + 3 O_{2} \to 2 C u_{2} O + 2 S O_{2} (s)$ (Reaction involved in roasting)

$S O_{2} + C l_{2} +$ activatedcharcoal $\to S O_{2} C l_{2}$

So here $X$ is $S O_{2}$ (sulphur dioxide)

And $Y$ is $S O_{2} C l_{2}$ (Sulfuryl chloride)
