`NCl_(3)` gets hydrolysed to from `NH_(3)andHOCl` while `PCl_(3)` on hydrolysis gives `H_(3)PO_(3)andHCl`. Explair why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why \( NCl_3 \) hydrolyzes to form \( NH_3 \) and \( HOCl \), while \( PCl_3 \) hydrolyzes to form \( H_3PO_3 \) and \( HCl \), we can analyze the differences in the bonding and electronegativity of nitrogen and phosphorus in relation to chlorine. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hydrolysis of \( NCl_3 \)**: - When \( NCl_3 \) (nitrogen trichloride) undergoes hydrolysis, it reacts with water. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ ...
