The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of compounds that can react with PCl₅ to give POCl₃, we will analyze each compound provided in the question: 1. **O₂ (Oxygen)**: - Reaction: PCl₅ + O₂ → No reaction - Conclusion: O₂ does not react with PCl₅ to form POCl₃. 2. **CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide)**: - Reaction: PCl₅ + CO₂ → No reaction - Conclusion: CO₂ does not react with PCl₅ to form POCl₃. 3. **SO₂ (Sulfur Dioxide)**: - Reaction: PCl₅ + SO₂ → POCl₃ + SOCl₂ - Conclusion: SO₂ reacts with PCl₅ to produce POCl₃. 4. **H₂O (Water)**: - Reaction (limited water): PCl₅ + H₂O → POCl₃ + HCl - Conclusion: H₂O reacts with PCl₅ to produce POCl₃ only when present in limited quantity. 5. **H₂SO₄ (Sulfuric Acid)**: - Reaction: PCl₅ + H₂SO₄ → 2 POCl₃ + SO₂Cl₂ + HCl - Conclusion: H₂SO₄ reacts with PCl₅ to produce POCl₃. 6. **P₄O₁₀ (Tetraphosphorus Decaoxide)**: - Reaction: PCl₅ + P₄O₁₀ → 10 POCl₃ - Conclusion: P₄O₁₀ reacts with PCl₅ to produce POCl₃. Now, let's summarize the findings: - Compounds that react with PCl₅ to give POCl₃: SO₂, H₂O (limited), H₂SO₄, and P₄O₁₀. - Total number of compounds that can react with PCl₅ to give POCl₃: 4. **Final Answer**: 4 compounds can react with PCl₅ to give POCl₃.

To determine the number of compounds that can react with PCl₅ to give POCl₃, we will analyze each compound provided in the question: 1. **O₂ (Oxygen)**: - Reaction: PCl₅ + O₂ → No reaction - Conclusion: O₂ does not react with PCl₅ to form POCl₃. 2. **CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide)**: - Reaction: PCl₅ + CO₂ → No reaction ...
