Question
The reaction conditions leading to the best yield of C5H5Cl are :
Options
A.C2H6 (excess) + Cl2 
B.C2H6 + Cl2 (excess) 
C.C2H6 + Cl2 (excess)
D.C2H6 + Cl2
Solution
C2H6 (excess) + Cl2 C2H5Cl + HCl In (b), will not be formed due to absence of light. In (c) and (d) polyhalo derivatives will be obtained in better yields.
