When ketone is reacted with phosphorous pentachloride, chlorination takes place at the carbonyl carbon with substitution of the oxygen atom to give a geminal dichloride (with 2 Cl atoms on same carbon) according to the following equation:
so we can say that acetone is converted into 2,2-dichloropropane by action of PCl₅
<span />
The correct answer is Cl.
Chlorine is a substance that's employed in industry and is present in a number of household goods. There are times when chlorine takes the form of toxic gas. Chlorine gas can be converted into a liquid by applying pressure and cooling so that it can be transported and stored. The term "oxidation number" refers to the number of electrons that an element's atom either loses or gains during the production of a compound. The charge that an atom seems to have when forming ionic connections with other heteroatoms is used to define an atom's oxidation number. Even if it develops a covalent bond, an atom with a higher electronegativity is given a negative oxidation state.

<span><span>There is no formula. The speed of light is a fundamental constant which appears in other formulas but there’s no formula to compute the numerical value.Well, actually, that’s not quite right. The numerical value in meters per second is known exactly, because we use the speed of light to define the meter. It is: <span><span><span>c=299,792,458 m/s</span><span>c=299,792,458 m/s</span></span>
</span>. Exactly. But the thing is — this value is purely an artifact of our unit system. Other unit systems will give other values, so the number value is entirely arbitrary.</span></span>
