(a) Which of the following represents the equation for the reaction between ethane and chlorine in the presence of UV radiation? A C₂H + Cl₂ → C₂H₂Cl₂ + H₂ B C₂H₂ + Cl₂ → C₂H₂Cl + HCI C C₂H₂ + Cl₂ → 2CH₂CI D C₂H + 2Cl₂ → 2CH₂Cl + 2HCI (b) The UV radiation initially causes the formation of A Clions. B CI+ ions. C Cl free radicals. D C₂H, free radicals. (c) Once it has started, the reaction can proceed for a time without UV light because A a chain reaction is occurring. B initiation is occurring. C a substitution reaction is occurring. D termination steps cannot occur without UV light.
