Consider following reaction:
`Cl_(2)(g)+H_(2)O overset(R.T.)to P+Q`
If molecular weight of P is less than Q then incorrect statement is:

A

On warming 'P' can form deep red coloured vapours with `CrO_(3)`

B

Q' exhibits bleaching property

C

`MnO_2` can change `P` into `Cl_(2)` gas on warming

D

P' reacts with `H_(2)S` gas while 'Q' does not

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reaction between chlorine gas (Cl₂) and water (H₂O) and identify the products formed, as well as their molecular weights. The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Cl}_2(g) + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow P + Q \] ### Step 1: Identify the Products When chlorine gas reacts with water, the products formed are hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Thus, we can assign: - \( P = \text{HCl} \) - \( Q = \text{HOCl} \) ### Step 2: Determine Molecular Weights Next, we need to calculate the molecular weights of the products: - Molecular weight of HCl: - H: 1 g/mol - Cl: 35.5 g/mol - Total = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g/mol - Molecular weight of HOCl: - H: 1 g/mol - O: 16 g/mol - Cl: 35.5 g/mol - Total = 1 + 16 + 35.5 = 52.5 g/mol ### Step 3: Compare Molecular Weights From the calculations: - Molecular weight of \( P \) (HCl) = 36.5 g/mol - Molecular weight of \( Q \) (HOCl) = 52.5 g/mol Since the molecular weight of \( P \) (HCl) is less than that of \( Q \) (HOCl), the statement "the molecular weight of P is less than Q" is true. ### Step 4: Evaluate the Statements Now we evaluate the given statements to determine which one is incorrect: 1. **Option A**: "On warming, P can form deep red colored vapors with CrO₃." - This is correct as HCl can react with CrO₃ to produce chromium trichloride, which can produce deep red vapors. 2. **Option B**: "Q exhibits bleaching property." - This is correct because hypochlorous acid (HOCl) can release nascent oxygen, which is a bleaching agent. 3. **Option C**: "MnO₂ can change P into Cl₂ gas on warming." - This is also correct as MnO₂ can oxidize HCl to form Cl₂. 4. **Option D**: "P reacts with H₂S gas while Q does not." - This statement is incorrect. HCl does not react with H₂S, but HOCl does react with H₂S to form HCl, sulfur, and water. ### Conclusion The incorrect statement is **Option D**. ---
