C2H6 + Cl2 ---> CH3CH2Cl + HCl
Explanation:
Ethane can be converted to chloroethane via a clorination reaction.
When Ethane reacts with chlorine, we get chloroethane and hydrocholoric acid.
When Cl2 is passed through ethane, one Cl atom displaces one of the H atoms from CH4 and ethane turns into chloroethane.
C2H6 + Cl2 ---> CH3CH2Cl + HCl
This reaction needs light; it does not happen in the dark. Please see the attached picture for the chemical equation.
