  2. B 78.23
  3. C 78.25
  4. D 78.26
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 78.25

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Step 1: The first reaction is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation. Benzene reacts with \(CH_3Cl\) in the presence of anhydrous \(AlCl_3\) to form toluene. Step 2: The second reaction is electrophilic aromatic substitution. Toluene reacts with \(Cl_2\) in the presence of \(FeCl_3\) to…
