Solution

The correct options are
C Chloral
D Acetaldehyde
1. $C a O C l_{2} + H_{2} O \to C a [O H]_{2} + C l_{2}$
$C l_{2} + H_{2} O \to 2 H C l + [O]$
2. $C_{2} H_{5} O H + [O] \to C H_{3} C H O + C l_{2}$
3. $C H_{3} C H O + 3 C l_{2} \to C C l_{3} C H O + 3 H C l$
$C C l_{3} C H O + C a (O H)_{2} \to 2 C H C l_{2} + (H C O O)_{2} + C a$
