Maharashtra State Board: Class 10

Chemical Reaction: Chlorination of Methane

  • \[\mathrm{CH}_4+\mathrm{Cl}_2\xrightarrow{\mathrm{Sunlight}}\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{HCl}\]
    → 1 hydrogen replaced → methyl chloride
  • \[\mathrm{CH}_3\mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{Cl}_2\xrightarrow{\mathrm{Sunlight}}\mathrm{CH}_2\mathrm{Cl}_2+\mathrm{HCl}\]
    → 2 hydrogens replaced → methylene chloride
  • \[\mathrm{CH}_2\mathrm{Cl}_2+\mathrm{Cl}_2\xrightarrow{\mathrm{Sunlight}}\mathrm{CHCl}_3+\mathrm{HCl}\]
    → 3 hydrogens replaced → chloroform
  • \[\mathrm{CHCl}_3+\mathrm{Cl}_2\xrightarrow{\mathrm{Sunlight}}\mathrm{CCl}_4+\mathrm{HCl}\]
    → All 4 hydrogens replaced → carbon tetrachloride
