Laboratory method for the preparation of acetyl chloride isA. `CH_(3)COOH+SOCl_(2)toCH_(3)COCl`B. `CH_(3)COOH+PCl_(3)toCH_(3)COCl`C. `CH_(3)COONa+PCl_(3)toCH_(3)COCl`D. All of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
In laboratory it is prepared by `SOCl_(2)` because byproduct `SO_(2) and HCl` are gases which can easily escape and leave behind `CH_(3)COCl` as a residue.
