According to Markovnikov’s rule, the positive part of acid gets attached to that carbon atom in
(b)
To determine: The product of formula
Interpretation: The mechanism for the given reaction is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Halohydration of alkene is an electrophilic addition reaction, which involves breaking of double bond and creates halohydrin in its place. This type of reaction follows Markovnikov’s rule.

- Please correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forwardwhen a 0.150 g sample of the compound was burned, it produced 0.138 g CO2 & 0.0566 g H2O. All the nitrogen in a different 0.200 g sample of the compound was converted to NH3, which was found to weigh 0.0238 g. Finally, the chlorine in a 0.125 g sample of the compound was converted to Cl- and by reacting it with AgNO3, all of the chlorine was recovered as the solid AgCl. The AgCl, when dried was found to weigh 0.251 g. What is the empirical formulaarrow_forwardPlease correct answer and don't use hand rating and don't use Ai solutionarrow_forward
