Number of alkanes obtained on electrolysis of a mixture of and is _________ . [2024]
(3)
Kolbe's electrolysis of gives R-R
Thus electrolysis of mixture of and gives three alkanes: and
The incorrect statement regarding conformations of ethane is: [2024]
Ethane has infinite number of conformations.
The dihedral angle in staggered conformation is 60°.
Eclipsed conformation is the most stable conformation.
The conformations of ethane are inter-convertible to one-another.

3-Methylhex-2-ene on reaction with HBr in presence of peroxide forms an addition product (A). The number of possible stereoisomers for ‘A’ is ______. [2024]
(4)
Major product (A) has two chiral centres and from mechanism of this reaction it is clear that both R and S configurations are possible at both these chiral centres. Hence A has stereoisomers.
