Answer 2

Convert chloroform to acetaldehyde:-

• A substance having the chemical formula CHCl3 is chloroform, often known as trichloromethane. It is produced in vast quantities as a precursor to PTFE and is a viscous, white liquid with a pungent odour. It serves as a precursor to several refrigerants. In addition to being a trihalomethane, it is one of the four chloromethanes.
• Chemical experts will occasionally shorten the name of the organic chemical molecule acetaldehyde, CH3CHO, to MeCHO. It boils close to ambient temperature and is an invisible liquid or gas. It is one of the most significant aldehydes and is generated in enormous quantities in industry in addition to being found frequently in nature.

The Conversation process of chloroform to acetaldehyde is described below:

• At first we take Chloroform ( CHCl3) and take Ag as reactant. Ag and CHCl3 react with each other and produce C2H2
• In the text step we heat the C2H2 at 60° to 80° temperature and use 20% H2SO4 and Hg2+
• They react with each other and finally produced acetaldehyde

The reaction is shown in the above picture.
