Lewisite (2-chloroethenyldichloroarsine) was once manufactured as a chemical weapon, acting as a lung irritant and a blistering
agent. During World War II, British biochemists developed an antidote which came to be known as British anti-Lewisite (BAL) (2,3-disulfanylpropan-1-ol). Today, BAL is used medically to treat toxic metal poisoning. Complete the reaction between Lewisite and BAL by giving the structure of the organic product and indicating the coefficient for the number of moles of HCl produced in the reaction.
