When ketone is reacted with phosphorous pentachloride, chlorination takes place at the carbonyl carbon with substitution of the oxygen atom to give a geminal dichloride (with 2 Cl atoms on same carbon) according to the following equation:
so we can say that acetone is converted into 2,2-dichloropropane by action of PCl₅

Chlorine is less reactive than fluorine because the outer electrons in a chlorine atom are further from the nucleus than the outer electrons in a fluorine atom. It is harder for a chlorine atom to gain an electron than it is for a fluorine atom.
There are three things to consider every single time relative reactivity is unknown; atomic radius, shielding, and number of electrons. The reactivity is the halogens ability to gain an electron, so number of electrons already in the atom plays a vital role. Chlorine has more electrons so repels a reacting electron with greater force than fluorine, making it less likely to react.
Fluorine also has fewer electron shells than chlorine, so there are fewer electrons between the positive nucleus and the reacting electron to essentiallly block, or weaken, the electromagnetic attraction. This is shielding. Lastly, fluorine is much smaller molecule than chlorine, and the shorter distance, or radius, between the nucleus and the electron again makes it more likely to attract the electron and react to gain a noble gas configuration.

Mostly and for what I would say is A
Answer:
(a) 0.779 mol Cr₂O₃
(b) 118 g Cr₂O₃
Explanation:
Step 1: Convert 156 g Cr₂S₃ to moles
Cr Molar Mass - 52.00 g/mol × 2 = 104.00 g/mol
S Molar Mass - 32.07 g/mol × 3 = 96.21 g/mol
156 g Cr₂S₃ ÷ 200.21 g/mol = 0.779182 mol Cr₂S₃
Step 2: Find conversion from Cr₂S₃ to Cr₂O₃
1 mol Cr₂S₃ equals 1 mol Cr₂O₃
Step 3: Use Dimensional Analysis
0.779182 mol Cr₂S₃ ·
= 0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃
0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃ ≈ 0.779 mol Cr₂O₃ (3 significant figures)
Step 4: Convert moles to grams
Cr Molar Mass - 52.00 g/mol × 2 = 104.00 g/mol
O Molar Mass - 16.00 g/mol × 3 = 48.00 g/mol
0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃ · 152.00 g/mol = 118.436 g Cr₂O₃
118.436 g Cr₂O₃ ≈ 118 g Cr₂O₃ (3 significant figures)
Its the other way around actually. Benzoic acid is stronger than acetic acid because the electron-donating inductive effect (+I) by the alkyl group on acetic acid destabilise the conjugate base of acetic acid.
hope this helps :)
