(N/A) The reaction of compound $B$ with $Br_2$ and $KOH$ to form compound $C$ $(C_6H_7N)$ is a Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction. This indicates that $C$ is an amine and $B$ is an amide. The amine with molecular formula $C_6H_7N$ is aniline $(C_6H_5NH_2)$,which has the $IUPAC$ name benzenamine.
Since $C$ is aniline,the corresponding amide $B$ must be benzamide $(C_6H_5CONH_2)$.
Benzamide is formed by heating benzoic acid $(A)$ with aqueous ammonia. Thus,compound $A$ is benzoic acid $(C_6H_5COOH)$.
The structures and names are:
$A$: Benzoic acid $(C_6H_5COOH)$
$B$: Benzamide $(C_6H_5CONH_2)$
$C$: Benzenamine or Aniline $(C_6H_5NH_2)$
The reaction sequence is:
$C_6H_5COOH$ $\xrightarrow{NH_3, \Delta} C_6H_5CONH_2$ $\xrightarrow{Br_2, KOH} C_6H_5NH_2$

$A$ trinitro compound,$1,3,5$-tris-($4$-nitrophenyl)benzene,on complete reaction with an excess of $Sn/HCl$ gives a major product,which on treatment with an excess of $NaNO_2/HCl$ at $0^{\circ} C$ provides $P$ as the product. $P$,upon treatment with excess of $H_2O$ at room temperature,gives the product $Q$. Bromination of $Q$ in aqueous medium furnishes the product $R$. The compound $P$ upon treatment with an excess of phenol under basic conditions gives the product $S$.
The molar mass difference between compounds $Q$ and $R$ is $474 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ and between compounds $P$ and $S$ is $172.5 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
$(1)$ The number of heteroatoms present in one molecule of $R$ is . . . . .
[Use: Molar mass (in $g \ mol^{-1}$): $H=1, C=12, N=14, O=16, Br=80, Cl=35.5$
