prologed exposure of chloroform in humans many cause damage to liver. it is due to the formation of following compound
- Cl2
- CCl4
- COCl2
- CH2CL2
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Chloroform (\( \text{CHCl}_3 \)) is a volatile organic compound. When chloroform is metabolized in the liver, it forms carbonyl chloride (\( \text{COCl}_2 \)), a highly toxic compound. The formation of \( \text{COCl}_2 \), also known as phosgene, is harmful to liver cells and can cause damage, leading to liver toxicity. Phosgene is a potent hepatotoxic agent and can lead to liver damage upon prolonged exposure. Thus, the compound responsible for liver damage is \( \text{COCl}_2 \).
The correct option is(C): \(COCl_2\)
