MCQ
Acetone is mixed with bleaching powder to give
  • Chloroform
  • B
    Acetaldehyde
  • C
    Ethanol
  • D
    Phosgene

Answer

Correct option: A.
Chloroform
a
(a) Acetone forms chloroform when heated with bleaching powder.

$CaOC{l_2} + {H_2}O \to Ca{(OH)_2} + C{l_2}$

$C{H_3}COC{H_3} + 3C{l_2} \to CC{l_3}COC{H_3} + 3HCl$

$2CC{l_3}COC{H_3} + Ca{(OH)_2} \to \mathop {2CHC{l_3}}\limits_{{\rm{chloroform}}} + {(C{H_3}COO)_2}Ca$
