B) Oxidation
C) Reduction
D) Chlorination
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
$ CaOCl_2+H_2O\xrightarrow{Hydrolysis}Ca{{(OH)}_2}+Cl_2 $
$ CH_3CH_2OH+Cl_2\xrightarrow{Oxidation}CH_3CHO+2HCl $
$ CH_3CHO+3Cl_2\xrightarrow{Chlorination}CCl_3CHO+3HCl $
$ \begin{matrix} CCl_3CHO \\ CCl_3CHO \\ \end{matrix}+Ca<\begin{matrix} OH \\ OH \\ \end{matrix}\to \underset{Chloroform}{\mathop{2CHCl_3}}\underset{\text{Calcium fomate}}{\mathop{+\begin{matrix} HCOO \\ HCOO \\ \end{matrix}>Ca}} $
