4) Zn/HC/​

Answer 1

Answer:

n-Butane is converted to isobutane in a continuous isomerization reactor that operates isothermally at 149 ◦C

I think option

2 is correct answer Alcl4hcl

Answer 2

The correct option is 2.

• n-butane has four carbon atoms. It is a linear alkane. It does not contain any brunch unit.
• Iso butane also contains four carbon atoms but it contains a methyl group as a brunch unit.
• n-butane can be converted to iso-butane by the catalyst anhydrous aluminium trichloride in presence of HCl.
• Thus the catalyst is $AlCl_3/HCl$.
