Given the equation for a reaction: C4H10 + Cl2 → C4H9Cl + HCl Which type of reaction is represented by the equation?
1. addition
2. substitution
3. fermentation
4. polymerization

Respuesta :

Answer : The correct option is, (2) substitution

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

[tex]C_4H_{10}+Cl_2\rightarrow C_4H_9Cl+HCl[/tex]

This reaction is a substitution reaction.

Substitution reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the replacement of one or more H atoms takes place in a saturated  hydrocarbon with another atom or group.

In the given reaction, one hydrogen is replaced or substituted by chlorine atom.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) substitution

Given chemical reaction equation represents a substitution reaction.

What is substitution reaction?

Substitution reactions are those reaction in which one or more atoms from the reactant molecule gets substitute by any upcoming atom for the formation of product.

Given chemical reaction is:

C₄H₁₀ + Cl₂ → C₄H₉Cl + HCl

In the above reaction from the butane molecule one atom of hydrogen is substitute by the one chlorine atom for the formation of chloro butane molecule in addition with HCl.

Hence, option (2) is correct i.e. substitution reaction.
