Identify the total number of atoms in product Q in the given sequence of reaction C 6 H 5 N H 2 → N a N O 2 + H C l X → C u 2 ( C N ) 2 Y → H 2 O / H + Z → N a O H / C a O , Δ P → C l 2 , h ν E x c e s s Q
Correct answer
18
Step-by-step solution
C 6 H 5 N H 2 → N a N O 2 / H C l C 6 H 5 N 2 + C l → C u 2 ( C N ) 2 C 6 H 5 C N → H 2 O / H + C 6 H 5 C O O H C 6 H 5 C O O H → N a O H / C a O , Δ C 6 H 6 → C l 2 , h ν ( E x c e s s ) C 6 H 6 C l 6 It is diazotisation reaction to produce X, then sandmayer's reaction to give Y, followed by hydrolysis to produce benzoic acid (Z). Benzoic acid on decarboxylation gives benzene, which on excess photochlorination gives benzene hexa chloride.
