DDT should not be allowed to come in contact with iron (during its manufacture) to _______________?

Correct answer: A. Avoid its decomposition

  • A. Avoid its decomposition
  • B. Prevent sulphonation of the monochlorobenzene by the acid catalyst
  • C. Achieve non-hygroscopic property
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Iron must be excluded because it promotes decomposition of DDT during manufacture, reducing product quality. The reaction is not intended to sulphonate monochlorobenzene, so option b does not describe the main reason.
