The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining how many compounds among the given options can react with \( PCl_5 \) to produce \( POCl_3 \), we will analyze each compound one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: The compounds given are \( O_2, CO_2, SO_2, H_2O, H_2SO_4, P_4O_{10} \). 2. **Reaction with \( O_2 \)**: - **Reaction**: \( PCl_5 + O_2 \) - **Analysis**: No reaction occurs as \( O_2 \) is a stable molecule and does not react with \( PCl_5 \). - **Conclusion**: Does not produce \( POCl_3 \). 3. **Reaction with \( CO_2 \)**: - **Reaction**: \( PCl_5 + CO_2 \) - **Analysis**: \( CO_2 \) is also a stable molecule and cannot break the strong bonds in \( PCl_5 \). - **Conclusion**: Does not produce \( POCl_3 \). 4. **Reaction with \( SO_2 \)**: - **Reaction**: \( PCl_5 + SO_2 \) - **Products**: The reaction produces \( SOCl_2 \) and \( POCl_3 \). - **Conclusion**: This compound does react to produce \( POCl_3 \). 5. **Reaction with \( H_2O \)**: - **Reaction**: \( PCl_5 + H_2O \) - **Products**: The reaction results in \( POCl_3 \) and \( HCl \). - **Conclusion**: This compound also reacts to produce \( POCl_3 \). 6. **Reaction with \( H_2SO_4 \)**: - **Reaction**: \( PCl_5 + H_2SO_4 \) - **Products**: The reaction produces \( SO_2Cl_2 \) and \( POCl_3 \). - **Conclusion**: This compound reacts to produce \( POCl_3 \). 7. **Reaction with \( P_4O_{10} \)**: - **Reaction**: \( PCl_5 + P_4O_{10} \) - **Products**: The reaction produces \( POCl_3 \). - **Conclusion**: This compound also reacts to produce \( POCl_3 \). 8. **Count the Compounds**: - The compounds that can react with \( PCl_5 \) to produce \( POCl_3 \) are \( SO_2, H_2O, H_2SO_4, \) and \( P_4O_{10} \). - Total = 4 compounds. ### Final Answer: The number of compounds that can react with \( PCl_5 \) to give \( POCl_3 \) is **4**.
