Explanation:

Answer 2

The reaction is-

$C_6H_6+Cl_2\rightarrow C_6H_5Cl+HCl$.

• Benzene on reaction with chlorine in presence of anhydrous aluminium trichloride produces chlorobenzene along with hydrochloric acid.
• The reaction to form chlorobenzene from benzene is as follows-
• $C_6H_6+Cl_2\rightarrow C_6H_5Cl+HCl$.
• In this reaction, one mole of benzene reacts with one mole of chlorine to form one mole of chlorobenzene along with hydrochloric acid.
