Question

An organic compound A of a molecular formula C2H4 on reduction
gives another compound B of molecular formula C2H6 B on reaction
with chlorine in the presence of sunlight gives C of molecular
formula C2H5Cl

Name the compound A,B & C
write the equation for the convsion of A to B name the type of
reaction

Priya G N · Accepted Answer

1
Compound A Ethene C2H4

2
Compound B Ethane C2H6

3
Compound C 1-Chloroethane C2H5Cl

2 A
to B ---Reduction reaction or hydrogenation
reaction

B to
C --- Substitution reaction

Organic compound A of
molecular formula C2H4 is ethane on reduction gives compound B of
molecular formula C2H6 ethane This is a reduction or hydrogenation
reaction

Ni/Pd(reduction)

C2H4
--------------------> C2H6

Ethene(A)
Ethane(B)

Organic compound B on
reaction with chlorine in the presence of sunlight gives compound C
with molecular formula C2H5Cl 1-Chloroethane This is a substitution
reaction

sunlight

C2H6
+ Cl2 -------------> C2H5Cl + HCl

Ethane
1-Chloroethane(C)
