Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{SO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

White phosphorus reacts with sulphuryl chloride to form \(\mathrm{PCl}_5\) and \(\mathrm{SO}_2(X)\). Chlorine reacts with \(\mathrm{SO}_2\) in presence of wood charcoal to form \(\mathrm{SO}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2(Y)\). The reaction can be written as:…
