Solution
The correct option is A0.1 mol ICl and 0.1 mol ICl3
It is based on the principle of P.O.A.C ( Principle of Atom Conservation. )
see given that I2+2Cl2⟶ICl+ICl3
Now we have molar mass of I2 = 127x2=254
Molar mass of Cl2 =35.5x2=71 So,,moles of I2 used in the reaction =given mass/molar mass =25.4/254=0.1 moles of I2 Moles of used in the reaction is =14.2/71=0.2 moles of Cl2 so and therefore from the reaction we see that 1 mol of I2 react with 2 moles of Cl2 to give one mole of each ICl and ICl3 Interpreting the same data with the same data with the given sample we can conclude that 0.2 mol of Cl2 reacts with 0.1 mol of iodine to give 0.1 mol of each ICl and ICl3
