Question:

Which of the following pairs is/are correctly matched?

Options:

CCl4, Fire extinguisher

CCl3NO2, chloropicrin

CFCl3, Freon-II

All are correctly matched

Correct Answer:

All are correctly matched

Explanation:

The answer is (4) All are correctly matched.

CCl4, Fire extinguisher: Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was once used as a fire extinguisher under the name pyrene. However, it is no longer used as a fire extinguisher because it is a toxic and harmful substance.

CCl3NO2, chloropicrin: Chloropicrin is a colorless, highly toxic liquid with a strong, pungent odor. It is used as a war gas and as a fumigant.

CFCl3, Freon-II: Freon-II is a colorless, non-toxic gas that is used as a refrigerant and as a propellant in aerosol cans.

Therefore, all of the pairs are correctly matched.
