[Atomic mass of \(\mathrm{Br}=80 \mathrm{u}\) ]

  1. A 8.4 g
  2. B 11.4 g
  3. C 22.4 g
  4. D 54.2 g
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 11.4 g

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The chemical formula for pentene is \(C_{5}H_{10}\). The reaction of pentene with bromine is an addition reaction: \(C_{5}H_{10} + Br_{2} \rightarrow C_{5}H_{10}Br_{2}\) The molar mass of pentene (\(C_{5}H_{10}\)) is \(5 \times 12 + 10 \times 1 = 70\) g/mol. The molar mass of…
