Question
Ethylene forms ethylene chlorohydrin by the action of(1) dry chlorinc gas(2) dry hydrogen chloride gas(3) solution of chlorine gas in water(4) dilute hydrochloric acid
Step 1
This is because chlorine gas (Cl2) is a strong electrophile that can perform addition reaction with ethylene (C2H4) to form 1,2-dichloroethane (C2H4Cl2). The reaction can be represented as follows: \[ C2H4 + Cl2 \rightarrow C2H4Cl2 \] Show more…
