The cycloalkene (X) on bromination consumes one mole of bromine per mole of (X) and gives the product (Y) in which C:Br ratio is 3:1. The percentage of bromine in the product (Y) is _________%. (Nearest integer)
(Given : molar mass in $\text{g mol}^{-1} \text{ H} : 1, \text{ C} : 12, \text{ O} : 16, \text{ Br} : 80$)

1. Problem Analysis

The question describes the bromination of a cycloalkene (X). Key information provided:

  • Reaction: Cycloalkene (X) + 1 mole $Br_2$ $\rightarrow$ Product (Y). This indicates (X) has one double bond.
  • Product (Y): The ratio of Carbon (C) atoms to Bromine (Br) atoms is 3:1.
  • Objective: Calculate the percentage of Bromine (% Br) in product (Y).
  • Given Molar Masses: H = 1 g mol-1, C = 12 g mol-1, Br = 80 g mol-1.

2. Determining the Chemical Formula of Product (Y)

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.

3. Calculating Bromine Percentage in Product (Y)

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%.
