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.
Answer: is the limiting reagent
Explanation:
To calculate the moles :
The balanced chemical reaction is :
According to stoichiometry :
1 moles of require = 2 moles of
Thus 0.625 moles of will require=
of
Thus is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and
is the excess reagent as it is present more than the required amount.
Answer:
(B) 3
Explanation:
Citric acid has an acid dissociation constant (Ka) of 8.4 × 10⁻⁴. When it forms a buffer with its conjugate base (citrate), we can calculate the pH using the Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation.
The optimum range of pH is pKa ± 1. The pKa is -log Ka = -log (8.4 × 10⁻⁴) = 3.1. The buffer would be more effective for pH between 2.1 and 4.1, especially around 3.1. So the best choice is (B) 3.
