Chloroethane will be formed by the action of Cl₂ on ethane whereas there will be no action of HBr on ethane.
- Chlorine reacts with ethane in the presence of sunlight by the mechanism of substitution reaction.
- This process is generally known as chlorination.
- The reaction can be shown as :
CH₃-CH₃ + Cl₂ → CH₃-CH₂Cl + HCl
- Whereas ethane is unreactive towards HBr.
- So there will be no action of it on ethane.
