Question

The simplest alkene (A) reacts with HCl to form a compound (B). Compound (B) reacts with ammonia to form compound (C) of molecular formula C₂H₇N. Compound (C) undergoes carbylamine test. Identify (A),
(B) and (C).

Answer 1

\[\ce{\underset{\text{(A) Ethylene}}{CH2 = CH2} + HCl -> \underset{\text{(B) Ethyl chloride}}{C2H5Cl}}\]

\[\ce{\underset{\text{(C) Ethyl chloride }}{C2H5Cl + NH3} -> \underset{\text{(B) Ethyl amine}}{C2H5NH2 + HCl}}\]
