Aldehydes and ketones can be halogenated at their α-position by reaction with Cl2, Br2, or I2, under acidic conditions. Using Br
2 under acidic conditions, an intermediate enol is formed which adds bromine at the α-position. The reaction stops after the addition of one bromine because the electron-withdrawing halogen decreases the basicity of the carbonyl oxygen, making the protonation less favorable. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

Answer: 3.72 M
Explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = age of sample = 15.0 minutes
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 10.0 M
a - x = amount left after decay process = ?
The concentration of in a solution after 15.0 minutes have passed is 3.72 M
