In the following halogenated organic compounds the one with maximum number of chlorine atoms in its structure is:
Options
- AChloral
- BGammaxene
- CChloropicrin
- DFreon- 12
Correct answer
B. Gammaxene
Step-by-step solution
Percentage of chlorine content = mass of chlorine mass of organic compound   ×   100 (A) Chloral ( CCl 3 CHO ) : Percentage of chlorine content = 3   ×   35 . 5 147 . 5   ×   100   =   72 . 203 % (B) Gammaxene C 6 H 6 Cl 6 : Percentage of chlorine content = 6   ×   35 . 5 291   ×   100   =   73 . 2 % (C) Chloropicrin Cl 3 C – NO 2 : Percentage of chlorine content = 3   ×   35
