The correct Answer is:
To determine from which reaction cuprous chloride (Cu2Cl2) cannot be prepared, we will analyze each of the provided reactions step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Cuprous Chloride Cuprous chloride is represented as Cu2Cl2. It is important to understand that we need to identify the reaction that does not yield this compound. ### Step 2: Analyzing the First Reaction The first reaction states: - **By passing SO2 through a solution containing CuSO4 and NaCl.** The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{CuSO}_4 + \text{NaCl} + \text{SO}_2 \rightarrow \text{Cu}_2\text{Cl}_2 + \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4 \] This reaction proceeds and produces cuprous chloride (Cu2Cl2). Therefore, this method can prepare cuprous chloride. ### Step 3: Analyzing the Second Reaction The second reaction states: - **By heating excess copper with concentrated HCl in the presence of a little KClO3.** The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Cu} + \text{HCl} + \text{KClO}_3 \rightarrow \text{CuCl}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] Since excess copper can react with CuCl2 to produce Cu2Cl2: \[ \text{CuCl}_2 + \text{Cu} \rightarrow \text{Cu}_2\text{Cl}_2 \] Thus, this reaction can also prepare cuprous chloride. ### Step 4: Analyzing the Third Reaction The third reaction states: - **By boiling copper sulfate solution with excess copper turnings in the presence of hydrochloric acid.** The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{CuSO}_4 + \text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{CuCl}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \] Again, using excess copper: \[ \text{CuCl}_2 + \text{Cu} \rightarrow \text{Cu}_2\text{Cl}_2 \] This reaction can also prepare cuprous chloride. ### Step 5: Analyzing the Fourth Reaction The fourth reaction states: - **By dissolving cupric oxide or copper carbonate in HCl.** For cupric oxide (CuO): \[ \text{CuO} + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{CuCl}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] For copper carbonate (CuCO3): \[ \text{CuCO}_3 + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{CuCl}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2 \] In both cases, we only obtain CuCl2 and do not have any excess copper to convert it to Cu2Cl2. Therefore, cuprous chloride (Cu2Cl2) cannot be prepared from this reaction. ### Final Answer Cuprous chloride cannot be prepared by: **D. By dissolving cupric oxide or copper carbonate in HCl.** ---

To determine from which reaction cuprous chloride (Cu2Cl2) cannot be prepared, we will analyze each of the provided reactions step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Cuprous Chloride Cuprous chloride is represented as Cu2Cl2.
