Explanation:
The given reaction will be as follows.
So, equilibrium constant for this equation will be as follows.
As it is given that concentration of all the species is 2.4. Therefore, calculate the value of equilibrium constant as follows.
=
= 0.173
Thus, we can conclude that equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 0.173.
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.
