The organic compound which forms Carbon tetrachloride on reaction with Chlorine.

Answer 1

1. Carbon tetrachloride is an organic compound. It possesses no color and has a sweet smell.
2. Trichloromethane when reacts with Chlorine, gives Carbon tetrachloride.
3. The reaction of Trichloromethane with Chlorine gives Carbon tetrachloride and Hydrogen chloride.
   $$\begin{gathered} {\mathrm{CHCl}}_3\left(g\right)+{\mathrm{Cl}}_2\left(g\right)\to {\mathrm{CCl}}_4\left(l\right)+\mathrm{HCl}\left(g\right) \\ \mathrm{Trichloro}\mathrm{Chlorine}\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{Hydrogen} \\ \mathrm{methane}\mathrm{tetrachloride}\mathrm{chloride} \end{gathered}$$
4. Therefore, the organic compound which forms Carbon tetrachloride in reaction with Chlorine is Trichloromethane.
5. Hence, the correct answer corresponding to the statement is B.
