DRock Harris · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Acid chlorides can be prepared from carboxylic acids by treatment with thionyl chloride (SOCl2) or phosphorus trichloride (PCl3), which are both reagents that facilitate the substitution of the hydroxyl group in the carboxylic acid with a chlorine atom. The correct notation for phosphorus trichloride is PCl3, but given the options, (COCl)2 and SOCl2 are the intended correct answers, despite the typographical error in option A.

A) (COCl) ₂
B) SOCl₂
C) KCl
D) both A and B
