(Given : molar mass in $\text{g mol}^{-1} \text{ H} : 1, \text{ C} : 12, \text{ O} : 16, \text{ Br} : 80$)
The question describes the bromination of a cycloalkene (X). Key information provided:
Bromination of alkenes involves the addition of $Br_2$ across the double bond.
Let the cycloalkene (X) have the formula $C_n H_{2n}$. Upon reaction with $Br_2$, the product (Y) will have the formula $C_n H_{2n} Br_2$.
The question states the C:Br ratio in product (Y) is 3:1. Let the formula of Y be $C_a H_b Br_c$. We have $a:c = 3:1$.
Since the reaction adds one molecule of $Br_2$, the product (Y) must contain 2 bromine atoms. Therefore, $c=2$.
Using the ratio $a:c = 3:1$, we find the number of carbon atoms ($a$): $a/2 = 3/1 \implies a = 3 \times 2 = 6$.
So, product (Y) contains 6 Carbon atoms and 2 Bromine atoms. This means $n=a=6$. The formula for product (Y) is $C_6 H_{12} Br_2$.
We can verify the C:Br ratio: In $C_6 H_{12} Br_2$, the ratio is 6:2, which simplifies to 3:1, matching the given condition.
The chemical formula for product (Y) is $C_6 H_{12} Br_2$. We need to calculate the percentage by mass of Bromine.
Step 1: Calculate the Molar Mass of (Y)
Molar Mass of Y = $(6 \times \text{Molar Mass of C}) + (12 \times \text{Molar Mass of H}) + (2 \times \text{Molar Mass of Br})$
Using the given values: $M(Y) = (6 \times 12 \text{ g mol}^{-1}) + (12 \times 1 \text{ g mol}^{-1}) + (2 \times 80 \text{ g mol}^{-1})$ $M(Y) = 72 + 12 + 160$ $M(Y) = 244 \text{ g mol}^{-1}$
Step 2: Calculate the Total Mass of Bromine in one mole of (Y)
Mass of Br = $2 \times \text{Molar Mass of Br}$ Mass of Br = $2 \times 80 \text{ g mol}^{-1}$ Mass of Br = $160 \text{ g mol}^{-1}$
Step 3: Calculate the Percentage of Bromine by Mass
Percentage Br $= \left( \frac{\text{Mass of Br}}{\text{Molar Mass of Y}} \right) \times 100\% $
Percentage Br $= \left( \frac{160 \text{ g mol}^{-1}}{244 \text{ g mol}^{-1}} \right) \times 100\% $
Percentage Br $\approx 0.6557377 \times 100\%$ Percentage Br $\approx 65.57\%$
Rounding to the nearest integer, the percentage of Bromine is 66%.
