Q. Among the following the number of compounds that can react with PCl_{5} to give POCl_{3} is O_{2} , CO_{2}, SO_{2}, H_{2}O, H_{2} SO_{4,} P_{4}O_{10}
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
Explanation
(d)
PCl_{5} produces POCl_{3} with the following reagents
PCl_{5}+ SO_{2}⟶POCl_{3}+SOCl_{2}
PCl_{5}+H_{2}O⟶POCl_{3}+2HCl
6PCl_{5}+P_{4}O_{10}⟶10POCl_{3}
