The correct Answer is:
To determine the halide with the formula \( C_6H_{13}Br \) that gives two isomeric alkenes \( A \) and \( B \) with the formula \( C_6H_{12} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Alkenes The alkenes formed from the halide must have the formula \( C_6H_{12} \). This indicates that the alkenes are likely to be derived from the elimination of HBr from the halide. ### Step 2: Analyze the Products of Ozonolysis The ozonolysis of the alkenes yields the following products: 1. \( CH_3COCH_3 \) (acetone) 2. \( CH_3CHO \) (acetaldehyde) 3. \( CH_3CH_2CHO \) (propionaldehyde) 4. \( (CH_3)_2CHCHO \) (isobutyraldehyde) ### Step 3: Determine the Structure of the Alkenes From the ozonolysis products, we can deduce the structures of the alkenes. The presence of acetone suggests that one of the alkenes has a branched structure, while the aldehydes indicate the presence of terminal double bonds. ### Step 4: Propose Possible Alkenes Based on the products, we can propose two possible alkenes: 1. **Alkene A**: 2-methylpent-2-ene 2. **Alkene B**: 4-methylpent-2-ene ### Step 5: Identify the Halide To obtain these alkenes from a halide, we consider the elimination reactions: - For **2-methylpent-2-ene**, the corresponding halide would be **2-bromo-2-methylpentane**. - For **4-methylpent-2-ene**, the corresponding halide would be **3-bromo-2-methylpentane**. ### Step 6: Conclusion The halide that can produce both alkenes is **3-bromo-2-methylpentane**. ### Final Answer The halide is **3-bromo-2-methylpentane**. ---
