If ethene reacts with chlorine the only product is CH2 Cl-CH2Cl What type of reaction took place?

This is an addition reaction, as the double carbon-carbon bond in ethene breaks to accomodate the two chlorine atoms. Product is 1,2, dichloroethane

How can you distinguish between ethene and ethyne by means of a chemical reaction?
Ethyne is acidic in nature and is soluble in aqueous solution of NaOH while ethene does not.
What is chlorine gas used to manufacture?
It is used to make things like poly(ethene) which is a type of plastics. It is used in many types of bleach and is widely used as a cleaning product. It is also used to keep swimming pools clean as it eliminates bacteria.
What are the bonds that are broken in the combustion of ethene?
The bonds that break in this reaction are one C=C bond and four C-H bonds.
Is ethene ionic or covalent?
Covalent, ethene has a double bond, C2H4
Ethene dissolves in con H2SO4 ethane does not explain?
Ethene is an unsaturated compound so adds up one molecule of sulphuric acid and addition product becomes dissolved in acid but ethane is a saturated compound so does not react and dissolves in sulphuric acid.
Why is the reaction of ethene and chlorine not a free-radical addition reaction?
because no free radicals are involved in the reaction process only carbo cations and Cl- are evolved which are ionic !!!
Product of alcoholic silver nitrate with ethyl bromide reaction?
ethyl nitrite
What is the end product when ethene is heated with steam using phosphoric acid?
The product is Ethanol. Phosphoric acid is the catalyst here. The equation for the reaction is: C2H4 + H2O -----> C2H5OH
Which compounds take part in an addition reaction?
Ethene undergoes addition reaction
How can you distinguish between ethene and ethyne by means of a chemical reaction?
Ethyne is acidic in nature and is soluble in aqueous solution of NaOH while ethene does not.
Why is the reaction of ethene with bromine called an addition reaction?
Br2 + C2H4 → C2H4Br2 ORBr2 + CH2=CH2 → BrCH2CH2BrThe name of the reaction is pretty intuitive. Ethene's double bond is broken which leaves room for bromine to be added to form dibromoethane.
Name the addition product formed by ethene and water?
Ethene reacts with water in presence of sulphuric acid and forms Ethyl alcohol.
How do you make ethanol gas?
Ethanol can be produced by:Anaerobic fermentation of natural sugar (beets, cane, starch) done by yeastPetrochemically by acid catalized reaction of ethene with water
Why the reaction of ethene with bromine called an addition reaction?
Br2 + C2H4 → C2H4Br2 ORBr2 + CH2=CH2 → BrCH2CH2BrThe name of the reaction is pretty intuitive. Ethene's double bond is broken which leaves room for bromine to be added to form dibromoethane.
Ethene reacts with water to form ethanol This type of raction is called?
Such reactions are known as HYDRATION and are performed in presence of sulphuric acid.

What organic chemical reaction will make an alkane like ethane to become a double bonded 2 carbon chain?
You are trying to reduce ethane to ethene, I am guessing. That is a very hard reaction to do... probably you will have to do a free radical halogenation on ethane to form 1-chloroethane, followed by an E2 reaction with t-butoxide or some other bulky base to form ethene. Since ethane and ethene are both gases and cheaply available from petroleum cracking, this reaction really isn't worth doing.
