As you have not provided the options, still we can figure out the answer by understanding the key difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.
SATURATED HYDROCARBONS are those hydrocarbons which only consist of a carbon carbon single bonds. All the bonds are sigma there are no pi bonds at all. Examples are shown below.
While, UNSATURATED HYDROCARBONS are those hydrocarbons which may contain either a double bond or triple bonds or both of them between the carbon atoms as shown below.
The by-product of the chlorination of an alkane is <u>HCl</u>
Explanation:
- Chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to drinking water to disinfect it and kill germs. Different processes can be used to achieve safe levels of chlorine in drinking water.
- Chlorination of alkane gives a mixture of different products.
- When consider mechanism of alkanes chlorination, free radicals are formed during the reaction to keep the continuous reaction.
- Different alkyl chloride compounds, extended carbon chains compounds and HCl are formed as products in product mixture.
- Chlorination byproducts, their toxicodynamics and removal from drinking water.
- Halogenated trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are two major classes of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) commonly found in waters disinfected with chlorine
- Chlorine is available as compressed elemental gas, sodium hypochlorite solution (NaOCl) or solid calcium hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)2
When the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increase this inturn makes them vibrate
