A free-radical substitution reaction is likely to be responsible for the observations. The reaction mechanism of a reaction like this can be grouped into three phases:
- Initiation; the "light" on the mixture deliver sufficient amount of energy such that the halogen molecules undergo homologous fission. It typically takes ultraviolet radiation to initiate fissions of the bonds.
- Propagation; free radicals react with molecules to produce new free radicals and molecules.
- Termination; two free radicals combine and form covalent bonds to produce stable molecules. Note that it is possible for two carbon-containing free-radicals to combine, leading to the production of trace amounts of long carbon chains in the product.

Answer:
C.) 2-butyne
Explanation:
Since the molecule has 4 central carbons, it has the prefix but-.
Since the molecule has a triple bond between central carbons, it has an ending of -yne.
Since the triple bond starts on the second carbon, it has a 2 - prefix.
Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.
Solution:
Initially, only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.
(
) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)
....(1)
= Total pressure when only oxygen gas was present.
Final total pressure when 4 moles of helium gas were added:

partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture :
Since, the number of moles of oxygen remains the same, the partial pressure of oxygen will also remain the same in the mixture.

= Total pressure of the mixture.
from (1)

On rearranging, we get:

The new total pressure will be twice of initial total pressure.
