Question

2,4,6- trinitrochlorobenzene is subjected to hydrolysis

Answer 1

Hey dear,

● Answer -
Picric acid is formed by hydrolysis of 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene.

● Reaction -
2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene when subjected to hydrolysis at 50℃, will result in formation of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol.

Ph(Cl)(NO3)3 + H2O --> Ph(OH)(NO3)3 + HCl

2,4,6-trinitrophenol is also known as picric acid.

Hope this helps you..
Thanks for asking ..

Answer 2

When "2,4,6- trinitrochlorobenzene" is subject to hydrolysis, it converts to Picric Acid.

When trinitrochlorobenzene is subject to hydrolysis, "the Cl group leaves" and is "replaced by OH group" thereby forming 2,4,6- trinitrophenol. This trinitrophenol is also known as Picric Acid. This acid is majorly used as an antiseptic (burn treatments) and dyes.

This can be shown in the equation below:

$\mathrm{PH}(\mathrm{Cl})\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{PH}(\mathrm{OH})\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{3}+\mathrm{HCl}$

The same can be shown in the diagram below:
