Question

Give the chemical equation for the reaction of one mole ethene with one mole of chlorine gas.

Answer 1

Reaction of one mole ethene with one mole of chlorine gas

• The chemical equation for the addition of one mole of ethene with one mole of chlorine gas gives 1 mole of $1,2-dichloroethane$ as the product.
• The chemical reaction is as follows.

$\underset{\mathrm{Ethene}}{{\mathrm{CH}}_2={\mathrm{CH}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Chlorine}}{{\mathrm{Cl}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{1,2-\mathrm{Dichloroethane}}{{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{Cl}-{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{Cl}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$

• It is an example for addition reaction of Alkenes.
