Answer:
C2H6 + Cl2 ---> CH3CH2Cl + HCl
Ethane can be converted to chloroethane via a clorination reaction. When Ethane reacts with chlorine, we get chloroethane and hydrochloric acid. When Cl2 is passed through ethane, one Cl atom displaces one of the H atoms from CH4 and ethane turns into chloroethane.
Explanation:
Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
By passing chlorine gas through ethane.
The reaction is
C2H6 + Cl2 ----> CH3CH2Cl + HCl.
One of the hydrogen atoms in ethane is replaced by a chlorine atom.
