Chloro acetic acid (molecular weight M) ...

Chloro acetic acid (molecular weight M) is converted into `Cl_(2) and CO_(2)`. Which statement is correct?

A

chlorine is reduced

B

carbon is oxidised

C

equivalent weight of chloroacetic acid is `M//13`

D

chlorine is oxidised

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C, D
`Cl-CH_(2)COOHrarrCl_(2)+CO_(2)`
Cl is oxidized
C is oxidized
`E=(m)/(n-f),n-f=n-f_(cl)+n-f_(c)`
`=1xx1+6xx2=13`
