The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of what product is obtained when chlorobenzene is treated with ammonia (NH₃) in the presence of copper(I) oxide (Cu₂O) in xylene at 570 K, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants and Conditions**: - The reactants are chlorobenzene (C₆H₅Cl) and ammonia (NH₃). - The reaction occurs in the presence of copper(I) oxide (Cu₂O) and xylene at a temperature of 570 K. 2. **Understand the Reaction Mechanism**: - The reaction involves nucleophilic substitution where the ammonia acts as a nucleophile and replaces the chlorine atom in chlorobenzene. - The presence of Cu₂O facilitates the reaction by providing a suitable environment for the nucleophilic attack. 3. **Write the Balanced Reaction**: - The balanced chemical equation for the reaction can be written as: \[ 2 \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{Cl} + 2 \text{NH}_3 \xrightarrow{\text{Cu}_2\text{O}, 570 \text{K}} 2 \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2 + \text{Cu}_2\text{Cl}_2 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \] - This indicates that two moles of chlorobenzene react with two moles of ammonia to produce two moles of aniline (C₆H₅NH₂), along with copper(I) chloride (Cu₂Cl₂) and water (H₂O). 4. **Identify the Product**: - The primary product formed in this reaction is aniline (C₆H₅NH₂), which is the amine derived from chlorobenzene. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the product obtained from the reaction of chlorobenzene with ammonia in the presence of Cu₂O at 570 K is aniline (C₆H₅NH₂). ### Final Answer: The product obtained is **aniline (C₆H₅NH₂)**. ---
