Question

Select correct statement about hydrolysis of $BC{l}_3$ and $NC{l}_3$.

• A. $NC{l}_3$ is hydrolysed and gives HOCl but $BC{l}_3$ is not hydrolysed
• B. Both $NC{l}_3$ and $BC{l}_3$ on hydrolysis gives HCl
• C. $NC{l}_3$ on hydrolysis gives HOCl but $BC{l}_3$ gives HCl
• D. Both $NC{l}_3$ and $BC{l}_3$ on hydrolysis gives HOCl

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$NC{l}_3$ on hydrolysis gives HOCl but $BC{l}_3$ gives HCl

$NC{l}_3+3H_{2}O\to N{H}_3+3HOCl$
$BC{l}_3+H_{2}O\to H_{3}B{O}_3+HCl$
