Which of the following would be produced when acetylene reacts with $$HCl$$?

A$$C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}Cl$$
B$$C{H}_{3}CH{Cl}_{2}$$
Correct Answer
C$$CH(Cl)=CH(Cl)$$
D$$C{H}_{2}=CHCl$$

Solution

When acetylene reacts with $$HCl$$, $$CH_3CHCl_2$$ is formed.

$$C_2H_2 + HCl \rightarrow CH_2=CHCl$$

$$CH_2=CHCl + HCl \rightarrow CH_3CHCl_2$$

Option B is correct.
