A compound with the formula C6H14 was reacted with Cl2/light to give a mixture of 5 different monochlorinated products (not including stereoisomers). What is the name of the initial compound

Hexane.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the general reaction of the compound C4H14 with chlorine is:

Which stands for a substitution chemical reaction in which one chlorine is able to replace one hydrogen and therefore hydrogen chloride gives off; we infer that the initial compound, C4H14, shows off the formula characteristic of alkanes; in such a way, as it has six carbon atoms, we infer it is hexane.
