1.	Chloro acetic acid (molecular weight M) is converted into Cl_(2) and CO_(2). Which statement is correct?
Answer» chlorine is reduced carbon is oxidised EQUIVALENT weight of chloroacetic acid is `M//13` chlorine is oxidised SOLUTION :`CL-CH_(2)COOHrarrCl_(2)+CO_(2)` Cl is oxidized C is oxidized `E=(m)/(n-f),n-f=n-f_(cl)+n-f_(c)` `=1xx1+6xx2=13`
