JEE Previous Year Question

The cycloalkene (X) on bromination consumes one mole of bromine per mole of (X) and gives the product (Y) in which ratio is . The percentage of bromine in the product is %. (Nearest integer) (Given : molar mass in )

Topic: JEE PYQ

Answer: 66. Full step-by-step solution below.

Correct answer: 66

Solution

(66)
A cycloalkene (X) undergoes bromination with 1 mole of , consuming 2 moles of Br atoms (addition to the double bond).
The product (Y) has ratio of 3:1.
With 2 Br atoms present, the number of C atoms is .
Therefore, product Y has composition with molar mass
.
Percentage of
, which rounds to (nearest integer).
