A compound \(A\) contains \(C\) and \(H\) only and has molecular mass 72. It's photochlorination gives a mixture containing only one monochloro and two dichloro hydrocarbons. The IUPAC name is
- A 2, 2-dimethylpropane
- B n-pentane
- C 2-methyl butane
- D cyclopentane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 2, 2-dimethylpropane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{C}_5 \mathrm{H}_{12}\), pentane has molecular mass \(72 \mathrm{~g}\) i.e. the isomer of pentane which yields single monochloro derivative and two dichloro derivative is 2, 2-dimethyl propane as it has all equivalent hydrogens.
