please can someone help me ?
Answer:
See explanation and image attached for details
Explanation:
The reaction involves the heterolytic fission of the Br-Br bond in the bromine molecule to yield a bromine cation which attacks the but-1-ene to form a cyclic intermediate called the brominium ion. The bromine anion must now attack from the opposite face of the brominium ion due to steric clashes to form a product of a 1,2-dibromoalkane having the anti- stereochemistry.
The empirical formula CH₂O has a mass [(12 × 1) + (1 × 2) + (16 × 1)] = 30 g/mol
If the empirical formula is 30 g/mol,
and the molecular formula is 60 g/mol
Then the multiple is = 60 g/mol ÷ 30 g/mol
= 2
Therefor the molecular formula is 2(CH₂O) = C₂H₄O₂ (OPTION 2)
