Which Procedures Promote Monochlorination?

Which procedures promote monochlorination? Start the reaction with an excess of methane and an excess of chlorine. When the reaction is over, there will be a small amount of methane and a large excess of chloromethane

chloromethane
Chloromethane, also called methyl chloride, Refrigerant-40, R-40 or HCC 40, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3Cl. One of the haloalkanes, it is a colorless, odorless, flammable gas. Methyl chloride is a crucial reagent in industrial chemistry, although it is rarely present in consumer products.

. These can be separated easily due to their differing boiling points.

Which of the following processes are involved in chlorination of methane?

When chlorine reacts with methane in the presence of sunlight, it forms Chloromethane. The reaction is a chain reaction e.g. once it is initiated it keeps on going. It is initiated by UV-rays. then they break the bond between chlorine molecules and generate free chlorine radicals that are highly reactive.

How many Monochlorination products are possible?

Total fourteen monochlorinated products can be obtained from all the isomeric alkanes having the formula C5H10 (excluding stereoisomers).
