Question

How to convert ethane to chloroethane? ​

Answer 1

See below.

Step-by-step 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.

Answer 2

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.
