SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the sequential reactions involving chlorobenzene production, specifically addressing whether C6H4Cl2 produced in Reaction 2 is consumed in Reaction 3. The reactions are as follows: Reaction 1 produces C6H5Cl from benzene and chlorine; Reaction 2 converts C6H5Cl into C6H4Cl2; and Reaction 3 transforms C6H4Cl2 into C6H3Cl3. It is established that the product of Reaction 2, C6H4Cl2, serves as a reactant in Reaction 3, confirming its consumption in the subsequent reaction.
