When methylpropane is passed over a hot aluminium oxide catalyst, it can be converted into methylpropene. Methylpropene can be converted back into methylpropane by heating with hydrogen gas in the presence of a platinum / nickel catalyst:

H2C=C(CH3)CH3methylpropene+H2Ni/Pt  H3C-CH(CH3)CH3methylpropane

What type of reaction best describes this reaction?

A chemist was investigating the best way to produce 1, 2-dichloroethane. She reacted ethane with chlorine in the presence of UV light by the following reaction:

C2H6  (g) +2Cl2 (g) C2H4CI2 (l)+2HCI (g)

After doing this she found that 600 g of ethane gave 148.5 g of C2H4Cl2. Calculate how many moles of 1, 2-dichloroethane are there in 148.5 g.
