The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the reactions given in the question. ### Step 1: Reaction of C2H5Cl with Moist Ag2O - **Starting Compound:** C2H5Cl (ethyl chloride) - **Reagent:** Moist Ag2O (silver oxide with moisture) When C2H5Cl reacts with moist Ag2O, the moisture present leads to the formation of AgOH. This reaction is a substitution reaction where the chlorine atom in C2H5Cl is replaced by a hydroxyl group (OH). **Reaction:** \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{Cl} + \text{Ag}_2\text{O (moist)} \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} + \text{AgCl} \] - **Product A:** C2H5OH (ethanol) ### Step 2: Dehydration of Ethanol (A) using Al2O3 at 360°C - **Starting Compound:** C2H5OH (ethanol) - **Reagent:** Al2O3 (alumina) at 360°C When ethanol is heated with Al2O3 at high temperature, it undergoes dehydration, where a water molecule is eliminated. This results in the formation of ethene. **Reaction:** \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} \xrightarrow{\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3, 360^\circ C} \text{C}_2\text{H}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] - **Product B:** C2H4 (ethene) ### Step 3: Reaction of Ethene (B) with SCl2 - **Starting Compound:** C2H4 (ethene) - **Reagent:** SCl2 (sulfur dichloride) When ethene reacts with sulfur dichloride (SCl2), it undergoes a chlorination reaction. The product formed is a dichloride compound. **Reaction:** \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_4 + \text{SCl}_2 \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_2\text{Cl}_2 \] - **Product C:** C2H2Cl2 (which is known as mustard gas) ### Final Answer - **C is identified as:** Mustard gas (C2H2Cl2) ### Summary of Products: - **A:** C2H5OH (ethanol) - **B:** C2H4 (ethene) - **C:** C2H2Cl2 (mustard gas)
