Which of the following has highest chlorine content?

A)  Pyrene                               

B)  DDT

C)  Chloral                                

D)  Gammaxane

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

                 The chemical formula of the given compounds is  \[\underset{pyrene}{\mathop{Cl-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  Cl \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Cl \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-Cl}}\,\]                           \[\underset{chloral}{\mathop{CC{{l}_{3}}CHO}}\,\]                        \[\underset{gammaxane}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{6}}C{{l}_{6}}}}\,\] Thus, chlorine content is highest in pyrene.
