Solution and Explanation
- The reaction involves ethyl chloride (CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)Cl) in the presence of UV light, which typically promotes a free radical substitution reaction.
- The major product of this reaction is ethene (CH\(_2\)=CH\(_2\)) due to the elimination of HCl by the free radicals formed under UV light.
