    A)  \[CHC{{l}_{3}}\]                              

    B)  \[CC{{l}_{3}}CHO\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{2}}Cl\]                              

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}Cl\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     When chlorine reacts with ethyl alcohol in  presence of NaOH, chloroform is obtained. \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH+C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}C{{H}_{3}}CHO+2HCl\] \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+3C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{Chloral}}{\mathop{C.C{{l}_{3}}.CHO}}\,+3HCl\] \[2C.C{{l}_{3}}.CHO+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{Chloroform}}{\mathop{2CHC{{l}_{3}}}}\,\] \[+HCOONa\]
