Two carbon compound 'X' and 'Y' have the molecular formula. C4H8 and C5H12 respectively. Which one is more likely to show addition reaction. Justify your answer by giving equation.
Answers
Answer:
C4H8, It is an unsaturated hydrocarbon due to the presence of a double bond. C4H8+H2+Ni/Pd → C4H10 Detailed Answer. Saturated compounds - C5H12 (Compound Y) - undergo substitution reaction. Unsaturated compound - C4H8 (Compound X) undergo addition reaction at the multiple bonds. For example, l-butene and 2-butene will add a chlorine molecule (Cl2) to form 1,2-dichlorobutane and 2, 3-dichlorobutane respectively. The reaction will be : CH3-CH2-CH=CH2+Cl2 → CH3-CH2-CH(Cl)-CH2Cl or CH3-CH=CH-CH3+Cl2 → CH3CH(Cl)-CH(Cl)-CH3Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/91872/two-carbon-compounds-x-and-y-have-the-molecular-formula-c4h8-and-c5h12-respectively
Answer:
The one which is an alkane will show tendency of substitution.
Here, c5h12 is an alkane so it will show substitution characteristics
And c4h8 is an algebra... So it is Alkene...
Will show addition properties
