What product is obtained when methyl magnesium chloride reacts with ammonia?
Correct answer: A. Methane
- A. Methane
- B. Methylamine
- C. Ethylamine
- D. Methyl chloride
Explanation
When methyl magnesium chloride reacts with ammonia, the product obtained is methane. This is because Grignard reagents, such as methyl magnesium chloride, are basic and can accept protons from ammonia, resulting in the formation of methane and H2NMgCl. The other options, methylamine, ethylamine, and methyl chloride, are not the correct products formed in this reaction and can be eliminated based on the properties of the reactants.

About Alkanes
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons containing only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen single bonds, with the general formula CnH2n+2 for open chains. Their structure, isomerism, IUPAC nomenclature, physical properties, combustion, free-radical halogenation and conformations are covered, including the difference between substitution in alkanes and addition in unsaturated hydrocarbons.
