<h3>Answer:</h3>
The Alkane formed is 5,5-dibromo-2,2,3-trimethylhexane. as shown below in attached scheme (Green Color).
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Alkynes like Alkenes undergo <em>Electrophillic Addition Reactions</em>. The reaction given is a two step reaction. In step 1, the Alkyne adds first equivalent of HBr obeying <em>Markovnikov's rule</em> (i.e. Bromine will add to carbon containing less number of hydrogen atoms) and forms <em>2-bromo-4,5,5-trimethylhex-1-ene</em>. In step 2, the alkene formed in first step (2-bromo-4,5,5-trimethylhex-1-ene) undergoes addition reaction with the second equivalent of HBr via Markovnikov's rule to produce <em>5,5-dibromo-2,2,3-trimethylhexane</em>.
The scheme is attached below, Blue color is assigned to starting Alkyne, Red color is assigned to intermediate Alkene and Green color is assigned to product Alkane respectively.
<u>Answer:</u> The pH of resulting solution is 8.7
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

Molarity of TRIS acid solution = 0.1 M
Volume of solution = 50 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Molarity of TRIS base solution = 0.2 M
Volume of solution = 60 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Volume of solution = 50 + 60 = 110 mL = 0.11 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)
- To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Bsalt%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D%29)
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{TRIS base}]}{[\text{TRIS acid}]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5B%5Ctext%7BTRIS%20base%7D%5D%7D%7B%5B%5Ctext%7BTRIS%20acid%7D%5D%7D%29)
We are given:
= negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of TRIS acid = 8.3
![[\text{TRIS acid}]=\frac{0.005}{0.11}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Ctext%7BTRIS%20acid%7D%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.005%7D%7B0.11%7D)
![[\text{TRIS base}]=\frac{0.012}{0.11}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Ctext%7BTRIS%20base%7D%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.012%7D%7B0.11%7D)
pH = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the pH of resulting solution is 8.7
