how will you distinguish between ethyl chloride and vinyl chloride?
Ethyl chloride and vinyl chloride will be distinguished by bromine water . Vinyl chloride will react with bromine water and it will become decolorised. Ethyl chloride will not decolourise bromine water .
CH2=CHCl + Br2 CH2Br - CHClBr
CH3CH2Cl + Br2 → No reaction
CH2=CHCl + Br2 CH2Br - CHClBr
CH3CH2Cl + Br2 → No reaction
