Prepare ethane from bromo ethane

1.	Prepare ethane from bromo ethane
Answer» Answer: Explanation: BromoEthane (CH3CH2Br) -----> Ethane (CH3CH3) Add HBr into the SOLUTION to Gain H+ and BR- . Br- will attack on CH2Br bond as it is ELECTRON rich. After breaking of the bond we get Br+ and CH3CH2–. Because H+Br- is still present in the medium it reacts with newly FORMED cations and anions giving : BR2 and CH3CH3 . (As CH3CH2– has a negative charge and HBr on breaking gives H+ and Br- . Also Br- and Br+ combine to become Br2) Hence The Reaction.

Answer:

Explanation:

BromoEthane (CH3CH2Br) -----> Ethane (CH3CH3)

Add HBr into the SOLUTION to Gain H+ and BR- .

Br- will attack on CH2Br bond as it is ELECTRON rich. After breaking of the bond we get Br+ and CH3CH2–.

Because H+Br- is still present in the medium it reacts with newly FORMED cations and anions giving : BR2 and CH3CH3 .

(As CH3CH2– has a negative charge and HBr on breaking gives H+ and Br- . Also Br- and Br+ combine to become Br2)

Hence The Reaction.
