Answer: chloropropane is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Given:

1-propene adds to HCl

To Find:

product formed

1-propene +  HCl → ?

Explanation:

• When HCl is added to 1-propene (unsymmetrical alkene) then 2 products are formed mainly but the major product is formed according to markonikov's rule as shown below,
• According to Markonikov's rule, in asymmetric alkene, the electropositive part attaches to more hydrogen substituted carbon and the electronegative part to more alkyl substituted carbon.

Thus, the product is (B) 2-chloropropane
