Hlo mate..
yes it can.
2Cl2 + CH3CH2OH gives CH3CHO + 2HCl...
I hope it help u....
Answer--- Chloroform.
IUPAC Name---Tri-Chloro-ethane
Explanation ---
Chlorine Reacts with the Ethanol to give Trichloroethane.
The Reaction occurs in the three steps.
In first step,
In this step, Chlorine oxidizes ethanol to the Aldehyde ethanal.
2Cl₂ + CH₃CH₂OH --------------CH₃CHO + 2HCl
In Second Step,
3Cl₂ + CH₃CHO -----------------CCl₃CHO + 3HCl
In third Step,
In this step, Base such as Potassium Hydroxide or Sodium Hydroxide reacts with the Organic Compound formed in the second reaction(CCl₃CHO) to form Chloroform or Trichloroethane and the methanoate ion.
KOH + CCl₃CHO ------------------- CHCl₃ + HCOO⁻ + K⁺
Overall Reaction can be represented as---
5Cl₂ + CH₃CH₂OH + KOH -------------- CHCl₃ + 5HCl + HCOO⁻ + X⁺
Thus, Option B. Chloroform is the Correct answer.
