Sulphur reacts with chlorine in 1:2 ration and forms X . Hydrolysis of X gives a sulphur compound Y. what is the structure and hybridisation of anion of Y



A

Tetrahedral, `sp^(3)`

B

Linear , sp

C

Pyramidal , `sp^(3)`

D

Trigonal planar, `sp^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When sulphur reacts with chlorine in 1:2 ratio, then `SCl_(4)` is obtained which one hydrolysis gives sulphurous acid `(H_(2)SO_(3))`.
`underset(1)(S)+underset(2)(2Cl_(2))tounderset((X))(SCl_(4))`
`SCl_(4)+4H_(2)O to S(OH)_(4)+4HCl`
`S(OH)_(4) to underset((Y))underset("sulphurous acid")(H_(2)SO_(3))+H_(2)O`
The anion of (Y) is `SO_(3)^(2-)`
