The products A and B obtained in the following reactions, respectively, are $\begin{aligned} & 3 \mathrm{ROH}+\mathrm{PCl}_3 \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{RCl}+\mathrm{A} \\ & \mathrm{ROH}+\mathrm{PCl}_5 \rightarrow \mathrm{RCl}+\mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{B} \end{aligned}$
  1. $\mathrm{POCl}_3$ and $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4$
  2. $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4$ and $\mathrm{POCl}_3$
  3. $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_3$ and $\mathrm{POCl}_3$
  4. $\mathrm{POCl}_3$ and $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_3$

Solution

These reactions are preparation of haloalkanes from alcohols. $3 \mathrm{ROH}+\mathrm{PCl}_3 \longrightarrow 3 \mathrm{RCl}+\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_3$ $\mathrm{ROH}+\mathrm{PCl}_5 \longrightarrow \mathrm{RCl}+\mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{POCl}_3$ $A$ and $B$ are $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_3$ and $\mathrm{POCl}_3$ respectively.
