Question

Benzene reacts with chlorine molecules in presence of ultra-violet light to give a compound $A$ which acts as an insectiside.
Benzene on treatment with excess of chlorine in presence of anhydrous $AlC{l}_3$ form a chlorinated molecule $B$ along with $HCl$.
The sum of total number of atoms present in each of the compound $A$ and $B$ is:

Answer 1

Benzene reacts with chlorine molecules in presence of ultra-violet light to give benzene hexachloride $\left(C_6{H}_{6}C{l}_6\right)$.


Benzene on treatment with excess of chlorine in presence of anhydrous $AlC{l}_3$ form a hexachlorobenzene $\left(C_{6}C{l}_6\right)$ along with $HCl$.


Sum of the total number of atoms present in the molecule $A$ and $B$ $=30$
