What product is obtained when chloroform reacts with oxygen in presence of light?
Updated On: Nov 6, 2024
- Phosgene gas
- Phosphine gas
- Chlorine gas
- Hydrogen gas
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
When chloroform (CHCl) is exposed to oxygen in the presence of light, a reaction occurs that produces phosgene gas (COCl), which is highly toxic. This reaction happens due to the breakdown of chloroform molecules facilitated by light energy, which allows them to react with oxygen molecules.
