Question

Which of the following compounds is used as general inhalation anesthetics?
$A.$ Divinyl Ether
$B.$ Aniline
$C.$ Halothane
$D.$ Both Divinyl ether and Halothane

Answer 1

An inhalation anesthetic is a chemical compound possessing general anesthetics properties that can be delivered to the mouth via inhalation. They are generally administered through a face mask or tracheal tube connected to an anesthetics vaporizer and an anesthetics delivery system.

Complete step by step answer
In the given question we have to tell which compound is used as general inhalation anesthetic, Divinyl ether is the organic compound. It is colourless, volatile liquid that has mainly been of interest as a general inhalation anesthetics. It can be prepared by treating ether with base. Halothane is a general inhalation anesthetics used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. It reduces the blood pressure and frequently decreases the pulse rate and depresses respiration.
Thus, both divinyl chloride and halothane are used as general inhalation anesthetics.
So, option $D$ is correct.

Additional Information
Divinyl ether: It is the organic compound with formula $(C{H_2}CH)O$ . It is colourless and volatile. Molar mass is $70.1g/mol$ . The boiling and melting point of divinyl ether is ${28.3^ \circ }C$ and $- {101^ \circ }C$ respectively.
Aniline: Aniline is the organic compound with formula ${C_6}{H_5}N{H_2}$ . It consists of an amino group attached to a phenyl group. The molar mass of aniline is $93.13g/mol$ . The boiling and melting point of aniline is ${184.1^ \circ }C$ and $- {6.3^ \circ }C$ .
Halothane: Halothane is the organic compound with formula ${C_2}HBrCl{F_3}$ . The molar mass of halothane is $197.4g/mol$ and its boiling point is ${50.2^ \circ }C$ .

Note
Ideal inhalation anesthetic stable over a range of temperature and not be degraded by light. Does not require the presence of a preservative and environmentally safe. It is odourless or has a pleasant smell and it is inert and doesn't react with other compounds.
