Solution

The correct option is C trichloromethane
A suspension of $C a O C l_{2}$ in water is heated with ethanol. The product formed is trichloromethane.

The reactions are as follows:
$C a O C l_{2} + H_{2} O \to C a (O H)_{2} + C l_{2}$

$H_{2} O + C l_{2} \to H C l + [O]$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} O H [O] - \to C H_{3} C H O + H_{2} O$

$C H_{3} C H O 3 C l_{2} - -- \to - H C l C C l_{3} C H O + H_{2} O$

$C a (O H)_{2} + 2 C C l_{3} C H O Δ - \to 2 C H C l_{3} Trichloromethane + (H C O O)_{2} C a$
