What are the products of the below-mentioned equation?HNO3 +3HCI→

Correct answer: A. 2H2O + NOCl + Cl2

  • A. 2H2O + NOCl + Cl2
  • B. H2 + NOCl + 2HOCl
  • C. H2O + NOCl + 2HCl
  • D. 2H2O + NOCl + 2Cl

Explanation

The reaction of HNO3 with HCl in a 1:3 molar ratio forms aqua regia, generating water (H2O), nitrosyl chloride (NOCl), and chlorine gas (Cl2). This mixture is known for its capability to dissolve noble metals. The correct answer is Option A:2H2O + NOCl + Cl2. Options B, C, and D suggest incorrect products or incorrect stoichiometry of the reaction.

About Periodic Properties and Trends

Periodic properties arise from electron configuration and effective nuclear charge, producing trends in atomic and ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, metallic character and reactivity. Comparisons run across periods and down groups, with attention to common exceptions. The topic also relates these trends to the behavior of s-block and p-block elements.
