(a) Rehmat classified the reaction between Methane and Chlorine in presence of sunlight as a substitution reaction. Support Rehmat's view with suitable justification and illustrate the reaction with the help of a balanced chemical equation.
(b) Chlorine gas was prepared using electrolysis of brine solution. Write the chemical equation to represent the change. Identify the other products formed in the process and give one application of each.

Answer
(a) Rehmat's observation is correct as the hydrogen atoms are substituted by hetero atom i.e., Cl
CH4 + Cl2 CH3Cl + HCl
(b) 2NaCl (aq) + 2H2O (l) ⟶ 2NaOH (aq) + Cl2 (g) + H2 (g)
NaCl ⟶ Na+ + Cl-
2Cl- ⟶ Cl2 + 2e- [At anode]
H2O ⟶ H+ + OH-
2H+ + 2e- ⟶ H2 [At cathode]
Na+ + OH- ⟶ NaOH
Other products formed are sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
Uses of Sodium hydroxide:
- Degreasing of metals
- Preparation of soaps and detergents
- Paper making
- Artificial fibres
Uses of Hydrogen:
- Fuel
- Hydrogenation of vegetable oil to make vanaspati ghee
- Manufacture of ammonia for fertilizer

Raina while doing certain reactions observed that heating of substance 'X' with vinegar like smell with a substance 'Y' (which is used as an industrial solvent) in presence of conc. Sulphuric acid on a water bath gives a sweet-smelling liquid 'Z' having molecular formula C4H8O2. When heated with caustic soda (NaOH), 'Z' gives back the sodium salt of and the compound 'Y'. Identify 'X', 'Y', and 'Z'. Illustrate the changes with the help of suitable chemical equations.
