Step-by-step explanation
Tranquilizers are drugs that are used to reduce anxiety, tension, and other related disorders.
- Veronal: It's a barbiturate used as a sleeping aid, and it can be classified as a tranquilizer.
- Luminal: It's another name for Phenobarbital, which is a barbiturate and considered a tranquilizer.
- Propanal: This is not a tranquilizer; it's a simple aldehyde and has no medicinal use as a tranquilizer.
- Seconal: It's a brand name for Secobarbital, another barbiturate, and is used as a tranquilizer.
So, out of the listed drugs, 3 belong to the tranquilizer class.
