For the molecule whose condensed structural formula is given below, decide if cis-trans isomers are possible. If they are, enter
the name of the cis isomer in the first box and the name of the trans isomer in the second box. If cis-trans isomers are not possible, enter the name of the compound in the first box and leave the second box blank. Do not attempt to put "cis" or "trans" in italics.

Answer:
cis 2,3-dibromo- 2-butene
trans 2,3-dibromo- 2-butene
Explanation:
The cis-trans or geometric isomerism is due to restricted rotation around a carbon-carbon bond. This restriction may be due to the presence of double bonds or cycles.
The carbon-carbon double bond prevents free rotation of atoms in molecules. These two molecules have the same atoms, but they are different molecules. They are geometric isomers to each other.
The given compound can exist in the form of two isomers, cis and trans. The isomer that has the substituents on the same side is called cis, and the one that has them on opposite sides is trans.

Answer: 7.29 g of will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.
Explanation:
To calculate the moles :
According to stoichiometry :
1 mole of require = 8 moles of
Thus 0.0267 moles of will require=
of
Thus is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and
is the excess reagent.
As 1 mole of give = 8 moles of
Thus 0.0267 moles of give =
of
Mass of
Thus 7.29 g of will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.
