Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(P C l_{5}, S O_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When sulphuryl chloride \(\left(\mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)\), reacts with white phosphorus \(\left(\mathrm{P}_{4}\right),\) it give phosphorus pentachloride \(\left(\mathrm{PCl}_{5}\right)\) and sulphur dioxide \(\left(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\right)\). The reaction is as…
