What reacts with an alkane in a substitution reaction?

Any number of chemical moieties could react with alkanes to produce new compounds in a substitution reaction. For example, hydrohalic acids (HCl, HBr, HI) could react with an alkane to produce a haloalkane. Here, the halogen atom would replace one of the hydrogen atoms in the alkane. (HCl + ethane --> chloroethane) (HBr + propane --> bromopropane) This also works with other reactive species, such as: - nitric acid + alkane --> nitroalkane
