Chlorine reacts with hot and conc.` Ba (OH)_(2)` and produces compound X, `BaCl _(2)` and water. X further reacts with `H _(2) SO_(4)` to give Y and `BaSO_(4).` The average bond order between Cl and O atoms in any one of Y is `"_______."`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1.67
`Cl_(2)(g) + Ba(OH)_(2) rarr overset((X=Ba(ClO_(3))_(2)))(X)+BaCl_(2)+H_(2)O`
`underset(Ba(ClO_(3))_(2))(X) + H_(2)SO_(4) rarr underset(Y)(2HClO_(3))+BaSO_(4)`
`Y = H^(+)ClO_(3)^(-) " "-O-underset(O)underset(||)overset(..)(Cl)=O`
`"Bond order" = ("total number of bonds between two atoms in all structures")/("total numbers of structures")(5)/(3)=1.67`
