Sentences with PHOSGENE (5)
Among the compounds named was phosgene, a gas so lethal that one part in ten thousand of air may be fatal.
The most commonly used of these compounds was phosgene, which, as the reader can see by inspection of its formula, COCl_{2}, consists of chlorine (Cl) combined with carbon monoxide (CO), the cause of deaths from illuminating gas.
For this reason John Davy, who discovered the compound over a hundred years ago, named it phosgene, that is, "produced by light." The same roots recur in hydrogen, so named because it is "produced from water," and phosphorus, because it is a "light-bearer." In its modern manufacture the catalyzer or instigator of the combination is not sunlight but porous carbon.
Carbon monoxide may be made by burning coke with a supply of air insufficient for complete combustion, but in order to get the pure gas necessary for the phosgene common air was not used, but instead pure oxygen extracted from it by a liquid air plant.
Phosgene is a gas that may be condensed easily to a liquid by cooling it down to 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
