• A. 1, 1-dichloro ethane
• B. 1, 2-dichloro ethane
• C. tetrachloro ethylene
• D. mixtures of 1, 2 and 1, 1-dichloro ethane

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The reaction is as follows (According to Markownikoffs rule) $\underset{\text{Vinyl}\text{chloride}}{C{H}_2==CH\cdot Cl}+HCl\to \underset{\text{1,}\text{1-dichloro}\text{ethane}}{C{H}_3--CHC{l}_2}$
