Hydrolysis of a compound B(C7H8Cl2) was carried out by refluxing with excess potassium hydroxide solution, the
resulting solution was acidified with dilute nitric and
excess silver nitrate added to precipitate
The chloride ions as
Silver chloride, 0.718 g of silver was
formed from 0.805g of B.

a. Calculate the number of chloride atoms present in each
molecule of B which are liberated by hydrolysis.

b. Suggest an explanation for the
result obtained in (a)
Suggest an explanation for the
Give a possible structure B.​

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
