Q.
The amount (in mol) of bromoform (CHBr3)
produced when 1.0 mole of acetone reacts completely
with 1.0 mole of bromine in the presence of aqueous NaOH is
AcetoneCH3−O∣∣C−CH3+3Br2+4NaOH →CH3C∣∣OON−a++3NaBr+3H2O+CHBr3 3 moles of bromine produces 1 mole of CHBr3. ∴1 mole of bromine produces 31mole of CHBr3.
