    Which of the following compounds gives trichloromethane on distilling with bleaching powder?

    A)  Methanal          

    B)  Phenol

    C)  Ethanol                               

    D)  Methanol

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Ethanol, on reaction with bleaching powder,       gives chloroform (trichloromethane). \[CaOC{{l}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}+C{{l}_{2}}\] \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}OH+C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}C{{H}_{3}}CHO+2HCl\] \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+3C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}CC{{l}_{3}}\,.\,CHO+3HCl\] \[2CC{{l}_{3}}\,.\,CHO+\overset{Chloral}{\mathop{Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2CHC{{l}_{3}}}}\,\]                                 \[\overset{Chlorofrom}{\mathop{+\,\,{{(HCOO)}_{2}}Ca}}\,\]
