Question

Name the organic compound prepared in the following reaction:

${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{I}+2\mathrm{H}\to$

Answer 1

• The product formed in this case is Methane ($C{H}_4$).
• The complete chemical equation is as follows:

$\underset{\mathrm{Iodomethane}}{{\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{I}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Nascent}\mathrm{hydrogen}}{2\left[\mathrm{H}\right]}\to \underset{\mathrm{Methane}}{{\mathrm{CH}}_4\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Hydrohen}\mathrm{iodide}}{\mathrm{HI}}$
