Question

The insecticide chlordane is warmed with dilute NaOH solution for some time. The n0. of NaOH consumed:

Answer 1

The amount of $NaOH$ consumed depends on the number of $Cl$ ions that can be emitted

$C{l}^{-}$ is obtained only if organic molecule can be stabilised only $2C{l}^{-}$ are given out.

Only these $Cl$ atoms are active, hence $2$ moles $NaOH$ is consumed.
