  4. D \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_9 \mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{SOCl}_2 \xrightarrow{\Delta}\) \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_9 \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{HCl}+ \ \mathrm{SO}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4+\mathrm{H}_2 \xrightarrow{\mathrm{Ni}} \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4+\mathrm{H}_2 \xrightarrow{\mathrm{Ni}} \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6 \)
\( \text {Atom economy }=\frac{\text {Mol. wt of} \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6}{\text {Mol.wt of}\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4+\mathrm{H}_2\right)} \times 100 \)
\( =\frac{30}{30} \times 100=100 \%\)
