Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction between a thiol (H₂) and a halogen (X₂) typically results in the substitution of the halogen for the thiol group, forming HX (where X is the halogen). Therefore, the best choice is C, where the equation shows the formation of 2 HX (two molecules of HX are formed due to the use of two molecules of the halogen). Options A, B, and D do not accurately reflect this substitution reaction, and E indicates that no reaction will occur, which is not the case.
