When $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCH}_{3}$ reacts with $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{NaOH}$, which of the following is formed
  1. $\mathrm{CHCl}_{3}$
  2. $\mathrm{CCl}_{4}$
  3. $\mathrm{CCl}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}$
  4. $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{Cl}$

Solution

$2 \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCH}_{3}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} / \mathrm{NaOH} ightarrow 2 \mathrm{CHCl}_{3}+2 \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}+\mathrm{HCl}$
