Answer 1

Explanation:

Question 13.1: How do you explain for the generation of ethane through chlorination of methane?

Answer 13.1: The methane chlorination process works through a free radical chain mechanism.

Step 1: Initiation:

The result begins with the hemolytic cleavage of Cl – Cl bond as: 1.1

Step 2: Propagation:

In this propagation step, chlorine-free radicals attack methane molecules and the C-H bond collapses to form methyl radicals as: 1.2

When these methyl radicals react with other chlorine-free radicals, methyl chloride is formed next to the liberation of a chlorine-free radical.
