Chloroform on reduction with zinc dust and water gives
- A methyl chloride
- B dichloro methane
- C chloro methane
- D methane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) methane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\underset{\text { chloroform }}{\mathrm{CHCl}_{3}} \frac{6[\mathrm{H}] ; \mathrm{Zn} / \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}{\underset{-\mathrm{ZnCl}_{2}}{\mathrm{HCl}}}{\longrightarrow} \underset{\text { methane }}{\mathrm{CH}_{4}}\)
Chloroform on reduction with Zn and HCl gives dichloro methane \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)\).
Chloroform on reduction with Zn and HCl gives dichloro methane \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)\).
