This conversion is a two steps reaction, 1-photochemical halogenation of ethane, 2- wurtz reaction of ethyl chloride.
CH3-CH3 + Cl2 ------- sun light -------> CH3-CH2-Cl + HCl
2CH3-CH2-Cl + 2Na ---------anhydrous ether -------> CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 + 2NaCl

CH3-CH2-Cl + 2Na + CH3-CH2-Cl it is the reaction done in the presence of dry ether and it will give, 2CH3-CH2 + 2NaCl

Are butane and isobutane substituted hydrocarbons if not what are they?
No. Butane and isobutane are simple hydrocarbons and isomers of one another.
Butane and isobutane are isomers or compounds that?
Butane and isobutane are isomers or compounds that have the same chemical fomula but different structual formulas.
What is the most abundant alkane in a butane lighter?
isobutane
What are the ingredients for hairspray?
The ingredients are butane, isobutane, propane, and isopropane, PHE - 890.
Is isobutane in mousse the same as butane in a lighters?
nope. they have the same formula but different molecular structures

nope. they have the same formula but different molecular structures
Does isobutane have a branched chain?
YES. and it has the same content of carbon and hydrogen molecules to n-butane
Does isobutane burn hotter than butane - Can you damage a backpacking stove made for burning butane by burning isobutane in it?
If I remember correctly i-butane is slightly higher pressure at room temperature than n -butane 45 psi vs 30 psi at room temperature. They buran at the same temperature for the same air/fuel ratio. The higher pressure would result is more fuel flow for the same orfice size. Your stove should have a control valve so it should not matter. Nost lighters and other things that say butane are actuall isobutane because it produces higher pressure and the lighter will function better at cold temperatrues. Your stove likely used isobutane any way. Propane is much higher pressure so don't simply substute propane for butane usless the device is made for propane as well.
What physical property is identical for the two isomers co C4H10?
The melting and boiling points are different. Butane has a melting point of 135.4K and 2-methylpropane [isobutane] has a melting point of 114K. The boiling point of Butane is 272.6K and isobutane @ 261K. It has to do with there structures. J
What are the ingredients in Axe chocolate?
Alcohol DENAT Butane Hydrofluaro carbon 152A Fragrance-unknown Isobutane Propane Isopropyl Myristate
What are the two structural forms of butane?
Butane, (CH3CH2CH2CH3) and methyl propane, (CH3CH(CH3)CH3). The old, non-IUPAAC name for the latter is Isobutane. Both, of course have the same empirical formula of C4H10.
Butane and isobutane are examples of?
both having same molecular formula bur differ in their position, so these are the Ex. of positional isomers
What can you use hydro carbon gases for?
Hydrocarbon gasses, namely methane, ethane, propane, butane, and isobutane are primarily used as fuels. Methane and ethane are in natural gas, propane is used for grills, butane and isobutne are in lighter fluid.
