PMT 19 Chloroethane, C2H5Cl, can be made from either ethane or ethene. (a) (i) What reagent and condition would be used to make chloroethane from ethane? (2) ReagentCondition(ii) State the type of reaction and mechanism by which this reaction occurs. (2)(b) (i) What reagent would be used to make chloroethane from ethene? (1)(ii) Show, in full, the mechanism for this reaction in which ethene is converted to chloroethane. (3) 20 *N35131A02024*<br />
 PMT (c) Which method of making chloroethane has (3)a higher atom economy?a higher percentage yield?Explain your answers. Higher atom economyHigher percentage yield(d) The compound chloroethene, CH2 CHCl, forms an addition polymer. (i) Draw a diagram, using dots or crosses, to show the arrangement of electrons in chloroethene. Only the outer shell electrons need be shown. (ii) Chloroethene can form an addition polymer. Write the displayed formula of poly(chloroethene) showing two repeat units. (2) (1) *N35131A02124* 21 Turn over<br />
 PMT * (iii) Poly(chloroethene) is commonly known as PVC. Almost a quarter of the PVC which is manufactured is used to make water pipes, which were formerly made of metal. Give TWO factors which have to be considered when deciding which material, PVC or metal, contributes to more sustainable uses of resources in the long term.
