An alkane (A) having a molecular mass of...

An alkane `(A)` having a molecular mass of 72 produces one monochlorination product. Compound `(A)` is:

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since it is an alkane, its formula is `C_(n) H_(2n + 2)`.
`:. 12 n + 2n + 2 = 72`
`implies n = 5`
`(A)` has the molecular formula `C_(2) H_(12)`.
Only (c ) gives one product on monochlorinaion
