An organic halide is shaken with aqueous NaOHNaOH followed by the addition of dil. HNO3HNO_{3} and silver nitrate solution gave white ppt. The substance can be.

A

C6H4(CH3)BrC_{6}H_{4}(CH_{3})Br

B

C6H5CH2ClC_{6}H_{5}CH_{2}Cl

C

C6H5ClC_{6}H_{5}Cl

D

None of these

Answer

C6H5CH2ClC_{6}H_{5}CH_{2}Cl

Explanation

Solution

C6H5−CH2−Cl→NaOH(aq)C6H5−CH2−OHC_{6}H_{5} - CH_{2} - Cl\underset{(\text{aq})}{\overset{\quad NaOH\quad}{\rightarrow}}C_{6}H_{5} - CH_{2} - OH

→dilHNO3C6H5−CHO\overset{\quad\text{dil}HNO_{3}\quad}{\rightarrow}C_{6}H_{5} - CHO

White ppt of AgCl are obtained.
