Question

B${}_2$O${}_3$ + C + Cl${}_2$$\to A+B.A\&B$ are?

• A. $BC{l}_2$, $C{O}_2$
• B. $BC{l}_3$, $C{O}_2$
• C. $BC{l}_3,CO$
• D. $BC{l}_2,CO$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$BC{l}_3,CO$

This method is used for the preparation of all the halides of boron except for $B{F}_3$.

Since Boron exhibits an oxidation state is '+3', it forms ${}^{\prime }BC{l}_3$'
