Given the equation:X + Cl2 --> C2H5Cl + HCl
Which molecule is represented by X?
(1) C2H4 (3) C3H6
(2) C2H6 (4) C3H8


Sagot :

You can assume that the equation is balanced, so all you need to do is find the compound that has the right amount of hydrogen and carbon. Count the numbers of each on the right side: 
H5 + H = 6 hydrogens. 
C2 = 2 carbons 

So the compound is B) C2H6

Option (2) is correct.

Find the compound that has the right amount of hydrogen and carbon. Count the numbers of each on the right side:  

[tex]5H + H = 6 hydrogens\\\\C_2 = 2 carbons[/tex]

So the compound is [tex]C_2H_6[/tex]. Hence, the correct option is (2).
