Answer 1

Answer:

this is very confusing

Explanation:

try to solve it

Answer 2

The reaction of C₆H₅CH = CHCH₃ with HBr produces :

• The above reaction will follow Markovnikov's Rule.

• It states that the addition of a protic acid HX to an asymmetric alkene, the acid hydrogen (H) gets attached to the carbon with more hydrogen substituents, and the halide (X) group gets attached to the carbon with more alkyl substituents.

• Therefore Br will get attached to the carbon next to benzene ring.

• Hence, the final product would be C₆H₅CHCH₂CH₃
