Question

16. How is chloromethane converted into ethane?

17. Illustrate Markovnikov’s rule with an example.​

Answer 1

Answer:

16. To covert methane to ethane: Methane is treated with chlorine gas in the presence of ultraviolet light to form chloro methane. Chloro methane is treated with sodium metal and dry ether to form the product ethane. This process is also called Wrutz synthesis

17. Let us explain Markovnikov's rule with the help of a simple example. When a protic acid HC (X = Cl, Br, I) is added to an asymmetrically substituted alkene, addition of acidic hydrogen takes place at the less substituted carbon atom of the double bond, while X is added to the more alkyl substituted carbon atom

Answer 2

Answer:

16. chloromethane is treated with sodium metal and dry either to form product ethane.

17. Markovnikov's rule with the help of a simple example. when a protic acid HC (X= CI, Br, I) is added to an asymmetrically substitude alkene, addition of acidic hydrogen take place at the less substitude carbon atom of the double bond, while x is added to more alkyl substituted carbon atom.
