Q.

The cycloalkene (X) on bromination consumes one mole of bromine per mole of (X) and gives the product (Y) in which C : Br ratio is 3 : 1. The percentage of bromine in the product (Y) is __________ %. (Nearest integer)

(Given: molar mass in g mol-1 H : 1, C : 12, O : 16, Br : 80)              [2026]


Ans.

(66)

C6H10Br2C6H10Br2

Molecular mass of C6H10Br2 is:

12×6+10+160

72 + 10 + 160 = 242

% of Br=160242×100

% of Br=66.11%66%
