Question

(b) What would you see, when ethene is bubbled through a solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride?

Open in App

Solution

When bromine in carbon tetrachloride is added to ethene, the orange colour of the bromine disappears due to the formation of the colourless ethylene bromide.

An addition reaction takes place:

$C H_{2} = C H_{2} + B r_{2} C C l_{4} - -- \to B r - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - B r$
