(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given reaction equation has to completed.

Concept introduction:

Acid chlorides are organic compound and they have functional group $RCOCl$.

Acid chlorides are most often prepared by treating a carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride.

The alkyl halide can be prepared from alcohol through different methods, preparing alkyl halide using thionyl chloride ($SOC{l}_2$) is one of the important method and it is shown below,

$R-OH\stackrel{SOC{l}_2}{\to }R-Cl+S{O}_2+HCl$
