Answer:

Correct Answer: 35. (c)

Solution:

  1. Plan: When acetone reacts with $B r _2$ in basic medium, bromoform is formed.

When $CH _3 COCH _3$ and $Br _2$ are in equimolar quantity, all the $Br _2$ (limiting reactant) is converted into desired products and $2 / 3$ mole of $CH _3 COCH _3$ remains unreacted, being in excess. When acetone reacts with $Br _2$ in acidic medium, there is monobromination of acetone.

$CH _3 COCH _3$ and $Br _2$ react in $1: 1$ mole ratio and $(P)$ is formed. In reaction $I,(U)$ and $(T)$ are formed and acetone (reactant) remains unreacted. In reaction II, $(P)$ is formed.
