Which reagent will you use for the following reaction?

(i) Light

(ii) NaCl+H₂SO₄

(iii) Cl₂ gas in dark

(iv) Cl₂ gas in the presence of iron in dark

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar

The correct Answer is Option (i). 

Chlorination in the presence of UV light can be used to produce alkyl chlorides from alkanes. Under the action of UV radiation, the chlorine molecule generates free radicals, which react with alkanes to create a mixture of isomeric mono- and poly haloalkanes.
