Question

Few reactions of alkanes are given below. Identify the name of the reaction which is not correctly matched with the reaction.

• A. $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}\overset{\quad AlCl_{3} + HCl\quad}{\rightarrow}CH_{3} - \underset{Isomerisation}{\overset{CH_{3}}{\overset{|}{CH}} - CH_{3}}$
• B. $C_{6}H_{14}\overset{\quad 773K\quad}{\rightarrow}C_{4}H_{8} + C_{2}H_{6} - pyrolysis$
• C. $CH_{4} + 2O_{2}\overset{\quad\Delta\quad}{\rightarrow}CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O -$controlled oxidation
• D. $CH_{4} + HNO_{3}\overset{\quad 400^{0}C\quad}{\rightarrow}CH_{3}NO_{2}$-Nitration

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$CH_{4} + 2O_{2}\overset{\quad\Delta\quad}{\rightarrow}CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O -$controlled oxidation

Answer 2

: The reaction is complete oxidation or combustion of alkanes.
