How would you convert:(a) ethene into 1, 2-dibromoethane?(b) ethene in

1.	How would you convert:(a) ethene into 1, 2-dibromoethane?(b) ethene into ethyl brominde?
Answer» (a) Ethene into 1, 2 -dibromoethane: Ethene reacts with bromine at room temperature to form saturated ethylene chloride. CH₂ = CH₂ + Br₂ →CH₂(Br) − CH₂(Br) 1,2-dibromo ethane (b) Ethene into ethyl bromide: When ethene is treated with HBr bromoethane is formed. CH₂ = CH₂ + HBr →CH₃ − CH₂Br Ethyl bromide

Answer»

(a) Ethene into 1, 2 -dibromoethane: Ethene reacts with bromine at room temperature to form saturated ethylene chloride.

CH₂ = CH₂ + Br₂ →CH₂(Br) − CH₂(Br)

1,2-dibromo ethane

(b) Ethene into ethyl bromide: When ethene is treated with HBr bromoethane is formed.

CH₂ = CH₂ + HBr →CH₃ − CH₂Br

Ethyl bromide
