उत्तर
Ethane reacts with chlorine, successively producing chloroethane, dichloroethane, trichloroethane, tetrachloroethane, pentachloroethane and hexachloroethane.
\[\ce{\underset{(Ethane)}{C2H6} + Cl2 -> \underset{(Chloroethane)}{C2H5Cl} + HCl}\]
\[\ce{\underset{(Chloroethane)}{C2H5Cl} + Cl2 -> \underset{(Dichloroethane)}{C2H4Cl2} + HCl}\]
\[\ce{\underset{(Dichloroethane)}{C2H4Cl2} + Cl2 -> \underset{(Trichloroethane)}{C2H3Cl3} + HCl}\]
\[\ce{\underset{(Trichloroethane)}{C2H3Cl3} + Cl2 -> \underset{(Tetrachloroethane)}{C2H2Cl4} + HCl}\]
\[\ce{\underset{(Tetrachloroethane)}{C2H2Cl4} + Cl2 -> \underset{(Pentachloroethane)}{C2HCl5} + HCl}\]
\[\ce{\underset{(Pentachloroethane)}{C2HCl5} + Cl2 -> \underset{(Hexachloroethane)}{C2Cl6} + HCl}\]
