The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

SO2CL2+2H2O\(\rightarrow\)H2SO4+2HCL
Moles of NaOH required for complete neutralization of resultant acidic mixture = 16 moles
And 1 mole of SO2Cl2 produced 4 moles of H+
Moles pf SO2CL2 used will be=\(\frac{16}{4}\)=4 moles

Rate of a Chemical Reaction

The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the change in concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

Consider the reaction A → B,

Rate of the reaction is given by,

Rate = −d[A]/ dt=+d[B]/ dt

Where, [A] → concentration of reactant A

[B] → concentration of product B

(-) A negative sign indicates a decrease in the concentration of A with time.

(+) A positive sign indicates an increase in the concentration of B with time.

Factors Determining the Rate of a Reaction:

There are certain factors that determine the rate of a reaction:

  1. Temperature
  2. Catalyst
  3. Reactant Concentration
  4. Chemical nature of Reactant
  5. Reactant Subdivision rate
