Answer 1

Answer:

A. cocl2 +Hcl.

Explanation:

Chloroform reacts with oxygen in the presence of light to give a poisonous compound carbonyl chloride, which is also known by the name phosgene.

CHCl3 + 1/2 × O—> hv—>COCl

Carbonyl chloride(poisonous) + HCl

That's why chloroforms generally stored in dark coloured bottles filled upto brim.
