Solution
(i) Both the compounds form same product on treatment with alcoholic KOH.
(iii) Both the compounds form same product on reduction.
Explanation:
\[\ce{\underset{(ethylidence chloride)}{H3C - CHCl2}}\] and \[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{}\ce{H2C - CH2}\phantom{}\\
\phantom{}|\phantom{....}|\\
\phantom{.}\ce{\underset{(ethylene dichloride)}{\phantom{}Cl\phantom{...}Cl}}\phantom{}
\end{array}\] are isomers.
(i) They give ethyne on treatment with alcoholic KOH.
\[\ce{CH3CHCl2 ->[alc][KOH] CH ≡ CH + 2KCl + 2H2O}\]
\[\ce{Cl - CH2 - CH2 - Cl ->[alc.KOH] CH ≡ CH + 2KCl + H2O}\]
(ii) On reduction with Zn dust in alcohol they give ethylene.
\[\ce{CH3CHCl2 + Zn ->[CH3OH] CH2 ≡ CH}\]
\[\ce{Cl - CH2 - CH2 - Cl + Zn ->[CH3OH] CH2 = CH2}\]
