    When\[PC{{l}_{5}}\]reacts with sulphuric acid, sulphuryl chloride\[(S{{O}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}})\]is formed as the final product. This shows that sulphuric acid:

    A)  has two hydroxyl groups in its structure

    B)  is a derivative of sulphur dioxide

    C)  is a dibasic acid

    D)  has greater affinity for water

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[PC{{l}_{5}}+HO-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  |\,\,| \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  |\,\,\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{S}}}\,-OH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\] \[Cl-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  |\,\,| \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  |\,\,\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{S}}}\,-Cl+POC{{l}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}O\] \[PC{{l}_{5}}\]attacks\[-OH\]group and replace it by\[-Cl\] group. Hence, reaction of\[PC{{l}_{5}}\]with\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]shows the presence of 2\[-OH\] groups in\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\].
