Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11
The major product Z formed in the following sequence of reactions is C₂H₆ + Cl₂ (UV light) → X (monochlorinated product) → NH₃ → Y (i) NaNO₂, HCl (ii) H₂O → Z

A
C₂H₅NO₂
B
C₂H₅ - N = N - OH
C
C₂H₅OH
D
C₂H₅NH₂
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The sequence of reactions involves chlorination of ethane to form C₂H₅Cl, which reacts with NH₃ to form C₂H₅NH₂. This is then diazotized and hydrolyzed to form C₂H₅OH, which is the major product Z.
