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.
