Answer 1

Answer:

Pentene reacts with chlorine in the presence of CCl₄ and give 1,2 dichloropentane.

Explanation:

Alkenes when treated with halogens in the presence of inert solvent which is CCl₄ they gives vicinal dihalide.

Chemical reaction:

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH=CH₂ + Cl₂    →   CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CHCl-CH₂Cl          

                                               (CCl₄)

In the presence of CCl₄  a fast reaction take place and a cyclic intermediate is also formed.
