A substitution reaction of methane is-
A. CH4 + Cl2 → CCl4 + HCl
B. CH4 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl
C. CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl
D. CH4 + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl
The correct answer is:
C. CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl
In this substitution reaction, one of the hydrogen atoms in methane (CH4) is replaced by a chlorine atom from Cl2, resulting in the formation of methyl chloride (CH3Cl) and hydrogen chloride (HCl). This type of reaction is called a substitution reaction because one atom or group of atoms is substituted by another atom or group of atoms in the reactant molecule.
