Answer» Correct Answer - B `Fe + 5CO underset("under pressure")overset(200^(@)C)rarr Fe(CO)_(5)` `2Fe(CO)_(5) overset("Photolysis")rarr Fe_(2)(CO)_(9) + CO` Carbon monoxide is quite reactive, it burns with a .blue flame to carbon dioxide. It reacts with `Cl_(2)` gas in the presence of light or hot charcoal, which serve as catalysts, to give carbonyl chloride `(COCl_(2))` which is especially useful as a starting material for the synthesis of polycarbonates that are widely used as tough low - density transparent materials. When carbon monoxide is passed over heated sulphur, the compound carbonyul sulphide `(COS)`, a promising low - hazard fungicide, is formed. |
