The correct Answer is:
To determine which product is not possible when ethene is reacted with an aqueous solution of Br₂ and NaCl₂, we can analyze the reactions step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Reactants Ethene (C₂H₄) is an alkene with a double bond between the two carbon atoms. When it reacts with Br₂, it undergoes an electrophilic addition reaction. ### Step 2: Reaction with Br₂ When ethene reacts with bromine (Br₂), the double bond opens up, leading to the formation of a bromonium ion intermediate. The reaction can be represented as follows: 1. The double bond in ethene attacks a bromine molecule, resulting in the formation of a cyclic bromonium ion. 2. The bromonium ion is then attacked by a bromide ion (Br⁻) from the bromine molecule, leading to the formation of 1,2-dibromoethane (C₂H₄Br₂). **Possible Product from Br₂:** - 1,2-Dibromoethane (C₂H₄Br₂) ### Step 3: Reaction with NaCl₂ Next, we consider the reaction with NaCl₂. In this case, the presence of NaCl₂ suggests that chloride ions (Cl⁻) can also participate in the reaction. 1. The bromonium ion can also be attacked by a chloride ion (Cl⁻) instead of a bromide ion (Br⁻). 2. This can lead to the formation of a product where one carbon has a bromine atom and the other has a chlorine atom, resulting in 1-bromo-2-chloroethane (C₂H₄BrCl). **Possible Product from NaCl₂:** - 1-Bromo-2-chloroethane (C₂H₄BrCl) ### Step 4: Aqueous Solution Consideration Since the reaction is in an aqueous solution, water (H₂O) can also act as a nucleophile. The hydroxide ion (OH⁻) can replace one of the halides. 1. The bromonium ion can be attacked by water, leading to the formation of 1-bromoethanol (C₂H₄BrOH). **Possible Product from Aqueous Solution:** - 1-Bromoethanol (C₂H₄BrOH) ### Step 5: Identify the Impossible Product Now, we need to identify which of the products listed in the options is not possible based on the reactions described above. - **Possible Products:** - 1,2-Dibromoethane (C₂H₄Br₂) - 1-Bromo-2-chloroethane (C₂H₄BrCl) - 1-Bromoethanol (C₂H₄BrOH) If one of the options does not match any of the products formed through these reactions, that option is the correct answer. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis, the product that is not possible from the reaction of ethene with an aqueous solution of Br₂ and NaCl₂ is the one that does not fit into the products formed from the reactions outlined above. **Final Answer: The product that is not possible is option C.**
