(a) CO Cl 2 O 2  CO
(b) CO 2 Cl 2 CO 2  CO
(c) CO 2 O 2 O 2 CO 2
(d) CO O 2 CO 2 CO 2

 

Answer:

    • Carbon Dioxide is an Acidic Oxide and produces Carbonic Acid ( H 2 CO 3 ) when added to water. 
  • Cl 2 is used in the treatment of water.
  • Respiration is a biological process that produces energy in an organism. It uses O 2 as a reactant and gives CO 2 as a product.
  • Incomplete combustion produces Carbon monoxide (CO) as a result.

Therefore, the correct answer is (b) CO 2 , Cl 2 , CO 2 , CO
