Ethene is prepared from chloroethane this is an example of a reaction _
Correct answer: D. Dehydrohalogenation
- A. From alkynes
- B. Removal of vicinal dihalides
- C. Acidic dehydrogenation
- D. Dehydrohalogenation
Explanation
The correct answer is 'Dehydrohalogenation' because it accurately describes the reaction process of converting chloroethane to ethene by removing both the halogen and hydrogen elements. The other options are incorrect because they either do not align with the reactants involved or do not represent the specific removal process observed in this reaction.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
