<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When alkanes are reacted with chlorine gas at high temperatures or in the presence of light, it leads to the formation of chloro alkanes.

The process is known as chlorination.

Let us take the simplest alkane which is methane having chemical formula $CH_4$

The chemical equation for the chlorination of methane follows:

$CH_4+Cl_2\xrightarrow[]{h\nu}CH_3Cl+HCl$

The product formed is chloromethane.

Hence, the correct answer is 1.

How does black and coloured objects absorb light and convert it into heat?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Light energy can be converted into heat energy. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the object gets warm. A white object reflects all wavelengths of light, so the light is not converted into heat and the temperature of the object does not increase noticeably.

Which of the following statements explains how temperature affects the rate of a reaction ? (5 points ) When temperature decreas

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

As the kinetic energy of the gaseous solute increases, its molecules have a greater tendency to escape the attraction of the solvent molecules and return to the gas phase. Therefore, the solubility of a gas decreases as the temperature increases.
