substitution reaction for ethane + Cl2
Dear Student,
When a mixture of Ethane and chlorine is exposed to ultraviolet ligh, a substitution reaction occurs and the organic product is chloroethane. However, the reaction doesn't stop there, and all the hydrogens in the ethane can in turn be replaced by chlorine atoms.
The mechanism of chlorination of ethane is given below:
