X is Butane ---C4H10

Butane belongs to Alkanes and undergoes combustion reaction and gives blue non sooty flame.

Combustion reaction:

C4H10 +13O2 -----> 4CO2 + 5H2O + ENERGY

Butane undergoes substitution reaction with chlorine in presence of sunlight.

C4H10 +Cl2 -----> C4H9Cl + HCl

C4H9Cl+ Cl2 ----->C4H8Cl2 + HCl

C4H8Cl2 + Cl2 ----> C4H7Cl3 + HCl.

Reaction continues till all hydrogen atoms are replaced by Cl.

Explanation:

X is Butane ---C4H10

Butane belongs to Alkanes and undergoes combustion reaction and gives blue non sooty flame.

Combustion reaction:

Butane undergoes substitution reaction with chlorine in presence of sunlight.

C4H10 +Cl2 -----> C4H9Cl + HCl

C4H9Cl+ Cl2 ----->C4H8Cl2 + HCl

C4H8Cl2 + Cl2 ----> C4H7Cl3 + HCl.

Reaction continues till all hydrogen atoms are replaced by Cl.
