The catalyst used in the above conversion is

A

`ZnCl_(2)//HCl`

B

`AlCl_(3)//HCl`

C

`PdCl_(2)//HCl`

D

`CuCl//HCl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When `n`-alkanes are heated with anhydrous `AlCl_(3)` and `HCl at 573 K` under a pressure of about `35 atm`, they are converted into branched chain alkanes.
