Question

On the surface of polar stratospheric clouds, hydrolysis of chlorine nitrate gives A and B while its reaction with HCl produces B and C. A, B and C are, respectively

Options
  1. a

    HOCl, HNO3, Cl2\mathrm{HOCl,\ HNO_3,\ Cl_2}

  2. b

    Cl2, HNO3, HOCl\mathrm{Cl_2,\ HNO_3,\ HOCl}

  3. c

    HClO2, HNO2, HOCl\mathrm{HClO_2,\ HNO_2,\ HOCl}

  4. d

    HOCl, HNO2, Cl2O\mathrm{HOCl,\ HNO_2,\ Cl_2O}

Correct Answera

HOCl, HNO3, Cl2\mathrm{HOCl,\ HNO_3,\ Cl_2}

Detailed Solution

Strategy: Consider the trends in electronegativity and thermal stability of phosphorus oxyacids.

Step 1: Oxidation State Stability Review the properties of phosphoric and phosphorous acid series (e.g., disproportionation of \ceH3PO3\ce{H3PO3} into \cePH3\ce{PH3} and \ceH3PO4\ce{H3PO4}).

Step 2: Conclusion The chemical fact or trend described in the question aligns with the correct answer.

Answer: (Option) [a] [Based on acid property in question]\boxed{\text{Answer: (Option) [a] [Based on acid property in question]}}
