Answer» (i) White phosphorus `(P_(4))` reacts with thionyl chloride `(SOCl_(2))` to form phosphorus trichloride `(PCl_(3))`
`P_(4)+8SOCl_(2)to4PCl_(2)+4SO_(4)+2S_(2)Cl_(2)`
(ii) Acetic acid reacts with phosphorus pentachloride `(PCl_(5))` to form acetly chloride
`underset("Acetic acid")(CH_(3)COOH)+PCl_(5)tounderset("Acetyl chloride")(CH_(3)COCl)+POCl_(3)+HCl`
