Prolonged exposure of chloroform in humans may cause damage to liver. It is due to the formation of the following compound.
- A \(\mathrm{CCl}_{4}\)
- B \(\mathrm{COCl}_{2}\)
- C \(\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)
- D \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{COCl}_{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The prolonged exposure of chloroform in humans may cause damage to liver. It is because of the formation of phosgene \(\mathrm{COCl}_{2}\).
\(2 \mathrm{CHCl}_{3}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \stackrel{\text { Sunlight }}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{COCl}_{2}+2 \mathrm{HCl}\)
\(2 \mathrm{CHCl}_{3}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \stackrel{\text { Sunlight }}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{COCl}_{2}+2 \mathrm{HCl}\)
