QQuestion
Write down the reaction of the industrial production of Ethylene. Mention two uses of Ethylene.
OR
How is carbon tetrachloride produced by substituting the hydrogen atoms of methane by chlorine atoms in steps?
✓Answer
CH3CH2OH (Vapour) \overset {Al_2O_3,\ 350°C} {\longrightarrow} H2C = CH2 (Ethylene) + H2O
The two uses of Ethylene are:
- To ripen fruit and for fruit preservation.
- To make plastic polyethylene.
OR
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) is produced by chlorinating methane (CH4) in several steps:
CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl
CH3Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl
CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl
CHCl3 + Cl2 → CCl4 + HCl
