STANDARD Chemistry Reactions of Alkanes MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Few reactions of alkanes are given below. Identify the name of the reaction which is not correctly matched with the reaction.

A

CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃ + AlCl₃ + HCl → CH₃ − CH − CH₃ − Isomerisation

B

C₆H₁₄ − 723K → C₄H₈ + C₂H₆ − Pyrolysis

C

CH₄ + 2O₂ −→ CO₂ + 2H₂O − Controlled oxidation

D

CH₄ + HNO₃ − 400°C → CH₃NO₂ − Nitration

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The reaction given in Option C is actually complete oxidation, not controlled oxidation. Controlled oxidation would typically result in partial oxidation products like methanol or formaldehyde.
