During formation of C H C l 3 from C 2 H 5 O H and bleaching powder, which one of the following processes does not occur
Options
- AHydrolysis
- BOxidation
- CReduction
- DChlorination
Correct answer
C. Reduction
Step-by-step solution
In Haloform reaction chlorination followed by oxidation. Hydrolysis of bleaching powder produces chlorine and calcium hydroxide. C a O C l 2 + H 2 O → H y d r o l y s i s C a ( O H ) 2 + C l 2 C H 3 C H 2 O H + C l 2 → Oxidation C H 3 C H O + 2 H C l
