A chemical reaction takes places in two steps as follows:



(i) NO2Cl g→K1NO2 g+Cl g



(ii) N O 2 Cl( g )+Cl( g ) → K 2 N O 2 ( g )+C l 2 ( g )



Identify the reaction intermediate.

  • A
    NO2Cl g
  • B
    NO2 g
  • C
    Cl2 g
  • Correct answer
    D
    Cl g

Solution

N O 2 Cl → K 1 N O 2 • ( g )+ Cl • ( g ) ( free radical )
N O 2 • Cl( g )+ Cl • ( g ) → K 2 N O 2 ( g )+C l 2 ( g )
The intermediate generated is Cl • .

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
