1 ) Predict d alkanes obtained by the action of sodium metal on n-propyl chloride & catalytic hydrogenation of isobutylene
2) Write the chemical equation for combustion of propane
1. It a Wurtz reaction. When propyl chloride reacts with sodium it gives n-hexane
Hydrogenation of isobutylene gives isobutane (2-methylpropane)
2. Combustion of propane gives carbon dioxide and water
CH3-CH2-CH3 + 6O2 --------------------> 3CO2 + 4H2O
