Solution

Ethene into 1,2-Dibromoethane: Ethene reacts with bromine at room temperature in presence of $C C l_{4}$ to form saturated 1,2-Dibromoethane. $C H_{2} = C H_{2} + B r_{2} + C C l_{4} \to C H_{2} (B r) - C H 2 (B r)$ Product: 1,2-Dibromoethane This reaction is an addition reaction of alkene to saturated dibromide in the presence of $C C l_{4}$
