Correct answer: A. ( H ₂ SO ₄, HCl )

When thionyl chloride reacts with white phosphorus, phosphorus pentachloride and ( SO ₂ ) is formed. ( P ₄+10 SO ₂ Cl ₂ 4 PCl ₅+10 SO ₂(X) ) At (723 ~K , HCl ) gas reacts with ( O ₂ ) in the presence of ( CuCl ₂ ) to form water and ( Cl ₂(Y) ). (4 HCl + O ₂ [ CuCl ₂] 723 K 2 Cl ₂+2 H ₂ O (Deacon process) ) ( Cl ₂(Y) ) react with ( SO ₂(X) ) in water to form two acids ( HCl (A) ) and ( H ₂ SO ₄(B) ). ( (X) SO ₂ + (Y) 2 H ₂ O + (B) Cl ₂ (A) 2 HCl + H ₂ SO ₄ )

Phosphorus reacts with ( SO ₂ Cl ₂ ) to form ( PCl ₅ ) and (X ). At (723 ~K , HCl ) gas reacts with ( O ₂ ) in the presence of ( CuCl ₂ ) to form water and (Y. Y ) reacts with (X ) in water to form two acids (A ) and (B ). What are (A ) and (B ) respectively?
