Answer: The correct answer is Option a.
Explanation:
When carbon monoxide reacts with chlorine gas, it produces a very poisonous gas named as phosgene. The chemical formula for this gas is and the chemical name for this gas is carbonyl chloride.
The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon monoxide and chlorine gas follows:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mole of carbon monoxide gas reacts with 1 mole of chlorine gas to produce 1 mole of phosgene gas.
Hence, the correct answer is Option a.
