B on reaction with chlorine in the presence of sunlight gives C of molecular formula C_(2)H_(5)Cl. (a) name the compound A,B and C (b) Write chemical equation for the conversion of A to B and name the type of reaction.

An organic compound A of molecular formula C_(2)H_(4) on reduction giv

1.	An organic compound A of molecular formula C_(2)H_(4) on reduction gives another compound B of molecular formula C_(2)H_(6). B on reaction with chlorine in the presence of sunlight gives C of molecular formula C_(2)H_(5)Cl. (a) name the compound A,B and C (b) Write chemical equation for the conversion of A to B and name the type of reaction.
Answer» Solution :The compound 'A' of molecular FORMULA `C_(2)H_(4)` is a ALKENE. Upon reduction with hydrogen, it gives 'B' of molecular formula `C_(2)H_(6)`. The compound 'B' upon chlorination gives 'C' of molecular formula `C_(2)H_(5)Cl`. (a) `underset((A)" Ethene")(CH_(2)=CH_(2))""underset((B)" Ethane")(CH_(3)CH_(3))""underset((C)" Chloroethane")(CH_(3)CH_(2)Cl)` (b) `underset("Ethene (A)")(CH_(2)=CH_(2))+H_(2)underset(573K)overset(NI)toCH_(3)-underset("Ethane (B)")(CH_(3))` the reaction is called additon reaction.
