Answer : The chemical reaction is shown below.
Explanation:
When 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene is treated with warm water then it gives 2,4,6-trinitrophenol as a product.
2,4,6-trinitrophenol is also called as picric acid.
This is an addition-elimination reaction in which the presence of electron withdrawing groups on benzene ring of haloarenes enhances the rate of nucleophilic substitution reaction.
