How to convert Ethene to bromoethane

Answer 1

Answer:

how to convert ethene in to Bromiethane

Answer 2

Ethene on reaction with HBr produces bromoethane.

• Ethene contains a carbon-carbon double bond.
• In addition to HBr or hydrogen bromide it undergoes an addition reaction and the double bond between carbon atoms is broken and one H atom is attached to one carbon atom and the Br atom is attached to another carbon atom.
• Hence the reaction can be given as follows-
• $H_2C=CH_2+HBr\rightarrow H_3C-CH_2-Br$.
