Question
Question No. 1 to 3 (3 questions) (i) P + C(carbon) + Cl2 $\rightarrow$ Q + CO $\uparrow$ (ii) Q + H2O $\rightarrow$ R + HCl (iii) BN + H2O $\rightarrow$ R + NH3 $\uparrow$ (iv) Q + LiAlH4 $\rightarrow$ S + LiCl + AlCl3 (v) S + H2O $\rightarrow$ R + H2 $\uparrow$ (vi) S + NaH $\rightarrow$ T (P, Q, R, S and T do not represent their chemical symbols)
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
Reactions are:<br>(i) B2O3(P) + 3C + 3Cl2 $\rightarrow$ 2BCl3(Q) + 3CO<br>(ii) BCl3(Q) + 3H2O $\rightarrow$ H3BO3(R) + 3HCl<br>Hence Q is BCl3 which has zero dipole moment, is planar trigonal, and is an electron deficient compound.
