A) ROH+SOC{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } B) ROH+PC{{l}_{5}}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } C) ROH+PC{{l}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } D) ROH+HCl\xrightarrow{\text{anhy}\text{. }ZnC{{l}_{2}}}

Answer 1

Hello:) Hope this helps...

Option(A) ROH + SOCl2

The reaction gives SO2 and HCl as products which are gaseous in nature and thus escape from the medium leaving behind pure alkyl chloride.
