Correct answer: 184
The reaction scheme image is not visible here, but this standard haloalkane sequence with 2-bromopentane typically involves:
- Elimination of HBr from 2-bromopentane to give the major alkene .
- Conversion of alkene to product in 100% yield.
To match the given data and the stored answer, let us compute carefully.
1. Moles of 2-bromopentane taken
2-bromopentane has formula .
Its molar mass is:
Given mass g, so moles taken are:
2. Formation of major product
From 2-bromopentane, dehydrohalogenation gives mainly pent-2-ene as the major product.
Since yield of major product is , moles of formed are:
3. Conversion of to
In the usual sequence, alkene is converted to a dibromo product by addition of , with 100% yield.
So:
If is pent-2-ene, then is 2,3-dibromopentane with formula .
Its molar mass is:
Hence mass of obtained is:
4. Final answer
5. Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer =
My derived answer also is , so they agree.
