CCl4 is inert to water but BCl3 hydrolises in moist air.Why?..

Answer / Kaushlendra Pratap Singh

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is inert to water because it does not react with water molecules under normal conditions, whereas Boron trichloride (BCl3) reacts with water due to its high reactivity and its tendency to form hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) upon reaction with water. The reaction between BCl3 and water in moist air forms hydrochloric acid and releases heat, which facilitates the hydrolysis process.
