Q. Friedel-Crafts reaction of one mole of carbonyl chloride $\left( COCl _{2}\right)$ with 2 moles of benzene yields product ' $X$ '. The total number of $s p^{2}$ hybridised $C$-atoms in product $X$ is

Solution:

Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction of carbonyl chloride (i.e., phosgene) with benzene produces benzophenone. In benzophenone, all the $C$ -atoms including carbonyl carbon are $sp^{2}$ hybridised.
