Answer:
Since
both the carbon atoms of the double bond has the same number of hydrogen atoms (i.e.
1), therefore, Mark ovnikov's rule cannot be applied. In other words, both the
products (A and B) will be formed.
Further, since the carbocation (I) leading to the formation of compound
(A) is slightly less stable than carbocation (Et) leading to the formation of
compound (B), therefore,
the amount of 2-chloropentane (B) will be slightly more than that of 3-chloropentane
(A), approx. 55 : 45.
